* UnderestimatingBadassery: Palpatine's constant underestimation of Obi-Wan Kenobi has allowed the Jedi Master to both [[SpannerInTheWorks knowingly and unknowingly sabotage his plans]]. To recap, Obi-Wan bisected his first apprentice Maul, helped prevent the Republic's occupation of Mandalore, survived Order 66 and dismembered Anakin which made his Force potential much weaker, and protected and trained Luke into becoming the Jedi who would eventually redeem Anakin and convince him to betray Palpatine. If Palpatine took Obi-Wan much more seriously, he would still be alive and the Empire would've continued thriving.

* UngratefulBastard: Being the heartless sociopath that he is, any "gratitude" Palpatine displays is ultimately just a part of his façade. The Jedi saved his life and rescued him multiple times during the Clone Wars, and none of this ever deterred him from his conspiracy to execute Order 66 and wipe them out. His grand plan to destroy the Jedi would have never gotten as far as it did without Dooku's complicity, and in the end, Sidious discards Tyranus in favor of Anakin being his next apprentice. The clone troopers were designed to carry out Order 66 through the bio-chips implanted in them, and proved vital to the rise of his Empire; after their purpose is served, not only does he swiftly throw them under the bus by using Tipoca City's destruction to fearmonger the Senate against them, but he ultimately condemns them to a miserable fate by leaving out the pensions and retirement benefits that Senator Chuchi fought for them to have.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Despite being a ManipulativeBastard of the highest order, there are some times where his tactics came back to bite him in the ass. One such example includes replacing the Clones with Stormtroopers. Yes, the Clones were only designed to carry out Order 66 without question so he could get rid of the Jedi, but they proved tactically superior in virtually every way, thanks to their prowess in free-thinking and the leeway their Jedi Generals gave them to carry out their missions. But once they no longer had a purpose, Palpatine ditched them as soon as he could, [[spoiler:throwing them under the bus for blindly following Rampart's orders to destroy Kamino (their homeworld) and convincing the Senate to decommission them]]. The subsequent legion of Stormtroopers he brought in were unquestionably loyal, could be conscripted cheaply, and have twice as many recruited compared to the clones--except that loyalty made them creatively sterile, their armor was so cheaply made and they were so horribly trained that [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy they couldn't hit the broad side of the Death Star]], and their repeat failures made stomping out the Rebellion that much more difficult. And yet it never occurred to him just to keep the more efficient, more accurate, and more competently trained clones. But that Death Star money had to come from somewhere...
