And that would have given more fuel for the fire later. ‘Look at the Clone army we found, the Kaminoans say a Jedi made it so why did they hide it?’
Oh of course. And that was another way he cornered them because if they didn’t deal with those two people would be like ‘well wtf are you doing instead?’
Yeah that’s it exactly! Plus the clones were trained to be a unified fighting force. If the republic’s military (which as far as I can tell was mostly various regional forces) had to work together there’d be all kinds of issues which would work against them. And all those other issues you mention, that just fits in nicely with palpatine’s plans. If he can create more issues the better,
Again, you’ve really got it there. While it’s clear the Jedi did have members that were good at diplomacy and negotiation, they just weren’t skilled with the deeper politics, which Palpatine was. He really played everyone and really, he didn’t need the force at all to do it, he just used politics. I think the only apprentice of the three that he really ‘needed’ in the end was Dooku, to rally the separatists and to be a scapegoat.
