What exactly was <PERSON> plan for taking over the galaxy?
I do not get what <PERSON> plan was. It obviously worked, but there are some logistics that seem nonsensical to me. Some of the ways it turned out seem to have only happened by chance. I know this might seem super obvious, so maybe I am missing something, but I really don't get it. Here are my questions:
Phantom Menace:
My understanding of <PERSON>'s plan for the Phantom Menace was to have the Trade Federation force <PERSON> to make the invasion legal, so he could complain in the Senate and get a vote of no confidence that would put him in power.
But since <PERSON> could instigate the vote, (and probably better as a 14 year old girl in emotional distress will garner more sympathy than a 80 year old politician) why did he use her escape to his advantage? He could have had her instigate the vote and not risk <PERSON> by making him bring here back to <PERSON>.
Why did he make a choice to prolong his plan rather than adapt, and in the process risk his apprentice and their secrecy to their oldest enemies?
Attack of the Clones:
I have no clue what his plan was here other than start the Cloneswars.
He wanted emergency powers and if he got that, how would he get the army?
I doubt he told <PERSON> to hire the Clone template, have him hire someone else, and when they fail have him use a specific dart that is only traceable by a few people. 865
This would align with him picking <PERSON>-<PERSON> and <PERSON> though, as it would allow him to get in <PERSON>'s mind and drive him to Tatooine, and him possibly knowing <PERSON> has contacts that will allow him to get the darts origin figured out. But that is so farfetched so I doubt that was the plan.
So my question really is, what was Palpatines plan in Attack of the Clones overall?
My entire post summarized: What was <PERSON> plan as executed in the Prequel Trilogy?
1. What exactly did <PERSON> want to happen in the days after the invasion of Naboo?
2. Why did he make a choice to prolong his plan rather than adapt, and in the process risk his apprentice and their secrecy to their oldest enemies?
3. What exactly did <PERSON> want to happen in the days around the final vote on emergency powers?
Also maybe instead of just saying the question is not fixed tell me what I need to fix. 865
