What's interesting here is that Dooku even tells Obi-Wan ( Ewan McGregor) that Sidious controls a large portion of the Galactic Senate. He does so by stirring a Separatist movement led by Count Dooku ( Christopher Lee) and his droid army. The next step for Palpatine is to instigate a situation that requires the clone army, under his command, to be authorized for use. The conflict with the Trade Federation in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is set up by Palpatine to light a fire of distrust among the Galactic Senate, sowing the seeds that would ultimately bring forth his ascension to Chancellor. A more detailed look reveals just how the pieces all fit together, and how Palpatine, by playing the long game, did so without alerting the Jedi. To look at it simply, it's the long-term plan of Palpatine ( Ian McDiarmid) coming to fruition. What Revenge of the Sith does, first and foremost, is tying the loose ends together and making sense of the choices made in the first two films.
