I just had a terrible thought.
Palpatine in TROS is about Trump. Evil came back up from nowhere but don’t worry because “there are more of us.”
“When the New Republic sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending Imperials. They’re not sending Sith. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing spice. They’re bringing Jedi teachings. They’re traitors. And some, I assume, are good people.”
