Exactly! He was so clever like that, using the resentments and corruption that was already there and turning the republic into exactly what he wanted it to be. And like you said, he even got the people wanting it at least to start with.
Fear was another of his greatest allies, he managed to scare good people like Mon into doing things like that. I’ve not read the Rebel Files but that does sound exactly like her.
Yeah! And he did it all without having to his sith abilities because he just used what was there.
I think that comes down to his main interaction in Episode I is of him clashing with them, so it’s easy to take that and think that’s how he is all the time when it most likely wasn’t. Like you’ve said there are no easy answers for them, but it was nice to see that being actually portrayed. They knew they had no answers and this was before the war even started, when such things would be worse.
That would be awesome to see them all interact like that!
It really is! As viewers we have seen for ourselves that it’s happening so we take Padme’s perspective. But of course they would want some kind of proof to act right away (but then again, what proof would have satisfied the. And even if she did, it would still have taken time). Now that you mention it, it is strange she doesn’t get the Jedi to testify on her behalf. And of course, Palpatine sees this as exactly the opportunity he can’t pass up. He gets her so wound up that she votes no confidence in Valorum.
Exactly, I think anyone in her position would have done the same, would have pushed for justice. And then she gets to see the consequences behind it, which are so terrible

I hope so too, thanks!
