INTRO
Hello, Star Wars fans! My name is Joel Robinson and this is the 16-day countdown to Rogue One!
During the rise of Empire Palpatine's role shifted from being the center of the government to being the government. He established himself on Coruscant, in the jedi temple transforming it into the imperial palace. He spent much timing reopening an ancient Sith temple which was under the jedi temple on Coruscant.
Palpatine went on a very few excursions to remove rebellious cells. One such expedition was to end rebellion by Cham Syndulla and the Free Ryloth movement on the planet Ryloth.
In his free time, he continued to study the dark side seeking new knowledge and more power. Even though nearly all the jedi were dead force-sensitive children continued to be born, because of this, Sidious created the Inquisitors, and project harvester in order to recruit more children as future Inquisitors.
We now know what Palpatine was doing leading up to Rogue One but about about during the time of Rogue one? Well during Rogue One Palpatine returned to Coruscant and began removing the powers of the imperial senate, eventually totally disbanding it. It is clear from Tarkin in A New Hope that he was successful.
As powerful as we know Darth Sidious is, how powerful is Darth Vader? Come back tomorrow and find out!
