So did we find out anything about Palpatine? Were at least some of his motives explained? Did he finally transcend, climb the ladder from one-dimensional shitty evil candy-thief and reveal himself to actually have a cogent reason for doing any one of the things he's done?
I'm very, very curious about this point. Since OB1 has yet to make a "haha told you he had reasons" thread, I'm willing to bet he finished Episode III as the same retarded, completely amateurish character he always was.
I've known the story of Episode III for a very long time, so there's nothing that the movie revealed to me that I didn't already know.
You are given all of the information on Palpatine that you need in the OT, but yes Episode III does delve deeper into who he is and why he does what he does. But as I said before, this will most likely not be enough for you since your perspective on storytelling seems to be limited to the very narrow idea that good characters must have long backstories and unrealistically convoluted motives in order to be considered good enough.
