[[George Lucas]], when writing the character in the original trilogy, and to a lesser extent the Prequel trilogy, had been inspired by then-President [[Richard Nixon]], who at the time the film was undergoing development was dealing with 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]].

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." To a lesser extent, he also had some elements taken from then-President George W. Bush due to Lucas having similar negativity towards the War in Iraq as in Vietnam.
