Always wondered- does the existence of TWBW disprove Yoda's statements that the future is always in motion and ever changing?
The future IS always in motion to a point, and that may be why Yoda was cautious of relying on future sight while he was alive -- it was too difficult to see what the one true line/future would be.
But the existence of TWBW does tell us that all the events in motion do ultimately culminate into fixed events. Time isn't linear. That's why Ezra was hearing voices/quotes from characters in the OT and ST films(which are obviously set after Rebels) once he entered that realm. The implication is that Force spirits also perceive all of time simultaneously.
As for the thread: Palpatine would alter time in such a way that defeating him would literally become impossible. He'd then set his sights beyond the mainstream galaxy, and conqueror the entire known universe(that was his primary goal anyway.)

Palpatine wanted to conquer the known universe in Canon? What source?
