Is Sheev Palpatine the greatest tactical mastermind that ever lived?
>assumed the office of senator for Naboo by legal means
>orchestrated a full scale war to destabilize the galaxy
>got Queen Amidala to call for a vote of no confidence in his favor
>became chancellor of the republic via legal means
>installed his own apprentice as the head of the separatists to ensure neither would get the upper hand
>created a clone army for one side and a robot army for the other
>forcing both sides of the conflict to spend and borrow money until the galactic banking clans were bankrupted
>put Anakin on the Jedi council to undermine the authority of Yoda and Windu
>turned Anakin into the destroyer of the order through intense manipulation and assuming a father role to the boy
>this shit took him over 40 years of meticulous planning and he never once missed a beat
>no matter how hard either side fight Sheev had already won from day one
>played the entire galaxy like a fiddle
Fucking BRAVO, Sheev. Has there EVER been a villain in any work of fiction this dedicated?
For all the complaints about the politics in the prequels, Palpatine's plotting went a long way as far as making the prequels less of a generic sci-fi story.
technically that's a strategic, not a tactical, mastermind

You're an idiot if you don't understand the amount of tactical understanding it must have required.
>Tactics, from the Ancient Greek ταkτιkή taktike meaning "the art of arrangement", is a conceptual action implemented as one or more specific tasks. The term is commonly used in business, political and military contexts.

Was he a beta male of his species? You can see those ones in their city with some kind of mustache thing. Or was he just too young? Also, why does their king looks like an entirely different species?
>>67964988
Did you watch the god damned movie, faggot, he convinced the senate give sheev unlimited power over the galaxy, Jar Jar is morally responsible for everything bad that happens after that.
>>67965135
I think that he was mentally deficient.
>why does their king looks like an entirely different species
That's a really good question, I guess he was that planet's Jabba the hutt.
>>67963893
It's all very impressive, but surely there must've been an easier way of going about things.
>>67965135
The king, Boss Nass, was from a long line of royal Nasses before him who only reproduced within thier bloodline for hundreds of years. Also he's fat.
>>67965274
He looks like an old retarded pepe.

Boss Nass was an Ankura, a different race of the same species.
>>67965137
>implying the senate holds no responsibility for going along with Jar Jar's suggestion.
>>67963893
People who bitch about the politics of the prequels are pleb as fuck. Sheev's rise to power is better than anything in the OT.
>>67965306
>Ankurans made up a relatively small percentage; however, they long maintained a strong presence on the Council
That reminds me of certain race of humans...
>>67963893
Wasn't it all Darth Plagueis's plan?
>>67965303
>Boss Nass was the first Pepe
George Lucas truly is a visionary.

>>67964864
After watching the YouTube video and the actor all but saying jar jar was gonna be a sith Lord.
I think it could of made the prequels GOAT tier
>>67963893
Yeah but Sheev got beat by iREBEL stealing a flashdrive.
"vote of no confidence" is a phrase that should never be heard in a space fantasy action flick for children
