In those movies, Palpatine is so far removed from us we can only approach him from the perspective of a Hitler. We must always remember that Hitler didn't ascend to dictator by using tanks, but the ballot box.

Hitler was
appointed...
...he was also guilty of treason...

Try naming a single character in the original trilogy that can attain such an authentic level of ambiguity.

Lets see he
shoots first; asks no questions later.
He smuggles contraband for a crime lord.
He was dishonorably discharged from the service
He was about to leave all the rebels to die:
Quote:
Luke: So. You got your reward and you're just leaving, then?
Han Solo: That's right, yeah. Got some old debts I gotta pay off with this stuff. Even if I didn't, you don't think I'd be fool enough to stick around here, do you? Why don't you come with us? You're pretty good in a fight. We could use you.
Luke: Come on. Why don't you take a look around. You know what's about to happen, what they're up against. They could use a good pilot like you, you're turning your back on them.
Han Solo: What good is a reward if you ain't around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station is not my idea of courage. It's more like, suicide.

Oh then he saves Skywalke's life and by extension the whole Rebellion.
There is moral ambiguity for you.
