It's certainly open to interpretation, isn't it?
But anyway, there are certainly some things in there that make you think Star Wars, though I will add the latest trilogy was made AFTER FF7.
However, if you want pure poorly hidden and obvious ripping off of the entire Star Wars story by Square, Kingdom Hearts is the way to go.
I think I like Maleficent more than Palpatine... Well, Maleficent never takes the time to manipulate some multiverse federation of worlds, she just plain tempts the one who was originally chosen as the destined warrior of the Light, Riku, and convinces him that using the powers of darkness is the only hope for saving "the girl", Kairi. But, right about the part where Riku actually plunges Maleficent deeper into darkness and gets possessed by someone even worse that was just using Maleficent, that's where the story takes a bit of a different turn. If you want her motivation, just watch sleeping beauty.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
