I simply can't understand how you (Weltall) continue to insist that Palpatine has no motivation when we've proven that he has plenty. The only problem is that you refuse to accept it as a motivation -- hence OB's comments like

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.
