the Emperor was just a beloved and powerful leader who protected the Republic through his bold leadership in the Clone Wars, survived assassination attempts by the fanatical Jedi, and rebuilt the smoking ashes of the galaxy into a New Order without the impediments of earlier ages, or "throwbacks" like Jedi.

Yes, exactly. Palpatine was a very good polititian, he spun everything perfectly. Of course, anyone who crossed him or got in his way saw a different side to him, but they generally didn't live to tell about it.

Of course once he started blowing up planets, his popularity ratings started to go down, but by then most people were too scared to do anything about it. Which is why both his rise in RotS and his fall in RotJ were celebrated...
