Star Wars: Andor

Scorpius the Allfather said

I get it but the Emperor waited decades to see his plan come to fruition and it all gets undone because of incompetence? His plan never should've worked then. "Decades of meticulous planning led to the creation of the Empire but now that we have an Empire, you can just phone it in now." I don't think I like that but the show is still awesome, that hasn't changed.

I know canon is now with Disney but they still draw a lot from the books. And in the books it is suggested that the Emperor was much stronger in the Force than any of us realize. There were many books that suggested he actually controlled much of the activity in the Empire thru the Force by directly controlling individuals. Even so far as to control his military during combat with the rebels. It would be very fanciful to suggest that in the Disney-verse, but in the books it was very sinister and completely believable.
