This is meant as a mature and serious discussion nexus for the open-minded, secure and considerate of different points of view people. Palpatine in ROTS comes off as a child-Molester sicko freak, so this theroy is certaintly not reaching. You can watch ROTS with this in mind and it would make sense. Palpatine certaintly sounds like he's getitng an orgasm when people do evil dark things..does he get a sexual charge out of evil? Like many people think the devil in many cultures and religions do? This could have been deliberate as a subtle nudge by Lucas, being he loves to link together all magor religous themes in his myth.
And the three pointer...
Was there a deeper meaning to why Palpatine wanted Anakin/Vader as his little pager boy?
(If you accept this point of view, the movie takes on another interesting way to look at it....A love triangle between Padme-Anakin-Palpatine with Palpatine winning in the end. Sidious smile at the end signifies he is happy she is dead because he won.)

Satan's not in a guitar pick, he's inside all of us.
In here, in your hearts.
He's what makes us not want to go to work, or exercise, or tell the truth.
He's that little voice in your mind that says "**** you" to the people you hate.

Now you see I don't mean love as in pure selfless love but love as in the drunken/Lustful Addictive love that Anakin's love for Padme eventually became. The love a drug-dealer has for pot.
Anakin can be or is the most powerful being in the universe and since Palpatine is attracted to power above all else, this could be a cataylist for the love/lust craving he has for Anakin/Vader. Certaintly adds a new layer to the scene where he comes up to a crispy Vader..and has that ravaged expression on his face...

Notice that he screams that the moment Anakin makes the ultimate choice to join with him. Anakin posses the ULTIMATE POWER he so craves..and this develops into a sort of obsessive lust addiciton to Anakin/Vader. This is the dark side that is how Anakin becomes with Padme, is it not?

Well, I never looked at their relationship that deeply. Hmmmm.... It certainly gives me something to think about next time I watch ROTS!

Here, I have a good example:
Think of how the one Ring affects people in LOTR.
This is what the Dark side does to people who fall to it, in a way.
"Darth Vader is Palpatine's PRECIOUSS!!!!"

Wow, I'm even starting to notice more and more ways this point of view gives new meanings to parts in the movie...take for instance all the times Palpatine does sweet/nice things for Anakin, its almost as if he's spoiling his loved one, aside from seducing him to evil. He's know Anakin for 13 years...this dosen't seem totally reaching, you must admit.
EDIT: Perhaps he even thought up the idea of arranging his kidnapping in the reason that Anakin would come rescue him. His Prince charming.

Well a young, handsome strong nai've powerful divine man who is known as the Chosen one and could possibly become the most powerful entity in the entire universe. Palpatine gets off on power, Anakin has the ultimate ulimited power...this is the basis for his developing love/lust longing which then switches over to Luke in ROTJ.

The movie takes on an ironic twist...One lover uses the thought of the death of the other lover to gain the subject of the love triangle's love....In a sick, twisted perverted way ofcourse.

As others have mentioned, the Emperor isn't capable of love. He's too evil to care about anyone but himself. Power is what the Emperor truly craves. I don't see any signs that he's interested in any sort of personal relationship.

Once again..I do NOT mean love as in the love a mother has for her son or a boyfriend-girlfriend love! I mean love as in the creepy evil posseive addicted stalker, lustful type. Anakin is a figure of ULTIMATE POWER! ONCEE AGAIN people, THIS IS WHAT attracts him in this point of view! How many times do I have to say it? This is only an interesting way to look at things...open your minds.
In the end, Anakin's love for Padme becomes corrupted and twisted to a love simliar to this but with a speck of true love still within.
