Is it possible that Supreme Chancellor Cos Palpatine not only created the Empire for himself, but also created the Rebel Alliance as some kind of personal enemy?

Think about this. Dooku is under Palpatine's control and Dooku forms the Separatist Movement which removes certain organizations and unions from the Republic. People and more organizations begin disliking Palpatine's Republic and join the Separatists. The Republic becomes the Galactic Empire and the Separatists the Alliance. Maybe creating an enemy to toy with gave him more sense of power. What do you think?

I don't know..I suppose it's a possibility..but if Palpatine did indeed form them, he's stupider than we had previously thought..considering the fact that he formed the organization that in the end defeated him. Palpatine does like the sense of power, but I think creating an enemy might be taking it a little too far. Good thoughts though.

With the Clone War and all, your right. Sidious created a problem for himself.

The Republic becomes the Galactic Empire and the Separatists the Alliance

We don't know the origins of the Alliance yet, but I don't think they originate from the seperatists - more likely it begins as oppostion to Palpy in the Senate.

Palpy obviously created the seperatists as an opposition to the republic to generate a conflict/war to get himself emergency powers. BUT, to take it two steps further and say that the seperatists become the alliance thus Palps created the alliance is a bit of a stretch.

The seperatists (aside from being a tool of palpy's) seem to have wanted independence from the republic; the alliance sought to OVERTHROW the government...a slight difference in philosophy.

Unless you can find something in the movies, scripts, novelizations, radio dramas, or EU, it's not Cos. That's just fan speculation, like Yoda being a "Whill".

As far as I know nothing has stated his name is Cos. Not even the official site.

Back to topic, I don't think Palpatine initially did, it would seen rather stupid on his behalf. And if he did, I bet he really kicked himself in the a$$ when they blew-up the Death Stars wink

By creating the Empire he creates the Rebellion.

That's a fan thing. There is no official confirmation that his first name is Cos yet. Just look at the OS, it would state his first name as Cos.

Cos came from an early script, where the Emperor character was called Cos Dashit.
I don't think the Emperor we know in the films has a scripted first name.

It also says "Master Yoda D'Kana the Whill". Really now. Since when was IMDB a reliable source? They even have a bunch of AOTC quotes wrong!
