==Inspiration==

[[George Lucas]], when writing the character in the original trilogy, and to a lesser extent the Prequel trilogy, had been inspired by [[Richard Nixon]], who at the time the film was undergoing development was undergoing the [[Watergate Scandal]]. Part of this reason was because he also intended for Star Wars to be anti-Vietnam War propaganda as well as "a decisive blow against American Imperialism." Lucasfilm also implied that Palpatine also had bits taken from Emperor Constantine, Julius Caesar, Adolf Hitler, and Joseph Stalin.
