Well, I think that's what makes Palps boring to me. It's the fact that all he seems interested in is power, and he has no discernible depth to me -- he's competent as a villain, but terribly one-dimensional, despite his insidious nature. You can add depth to him, but I don't care enough to do it, myself. I leave him to people who have interest; I'll write the Jedi.
See, the Jedi are compassionate in my thinking, but to the point where their compassion for the many fails to let them see that the few or the one sometimes needs special attention as situations warrent. To me, they had good basic ideas, but were poorly executed and had become too rigid and brittle ton see individual problems. They were too group-oriented as opposed to individual-oriented.
It a shame that Obi-Wan failed to see the truth, but even he questioned it later on.
