That is certainly the broad thrust of it, but it's muddled by the specifics of Palpatine's plan making absolutely no sense. A series of completely unplannable events occurs, which culminates perfectly in the galactic senate giving Palpatine dictatorial powers. I get it, I see what George is going for, but I would have appreciated any of the events along the way having some meaning.
I suppose so. Mostly, random events take place, and then occasionally a villain will pull out their Palpatine hologram and say everything is going according to plan my master! But the audience is never, ever clued into the plan, so we're left to assume Palpatine is a 500 IQ mastermind puppeteering everything toward his ultimate goal. I wish it had been better thought out; George clearly has good ideas in mind., but the execution is abysmal.
I mean, they could have established that by like, idk having a scene were Palpatine goes into his secret space hologram map room and chackles why going "Operation Q Delta failed, but now Operation Z Gamma is going right as planned!"
I can buy the idea that the guy is a 10,000 IQ genius with 5000 back up plans but you kinda have to explain that, or else it's just a lot of him going "THIS WAS MY PLAN! SOMEHOW!"
Oh yeah, I definitely didn't mean to imply it's clearly executed, well written, well thought out or even anything really. I just think it's pretty obvious what those films are trying, very poorly, to suggest
