What if the Emprah's mind was overwritten by Palpatine's

Sheev's entire character is a guy of average intelligence in a galaxy populated solely by morons. Which is why he'll do great in a galaxy of even denser people.

That's not fair, 40k and Star Wars are equally stupid.

>I AM the Senate!
>Yeah dad, we know.

Consider this - the Jedi Council are probably the dumbest motherfuckers in Star Wars. But none of them are primarch-level retarded.

Things probably would've gone a lot better

Anakin is as least as dumb as any two primarchs put together and the Jedi knew he was messed up from the very beginning yet they let him do whatever he wanted because he was "the chosen one".

It'll be something like this...

>Pappy Palpy: Execute Order 66....
>Lemon Raus: Sure thing, pops.

Then most of the Primarchs get anticlimatically gunned down by some Stormtroopers.

Do you think Leman Russ would be his favorite primarch?

>>55157055
No, he'd probably teaming it up with Lorgar and going full Chaos. But they use Leman Russ as their patsy to dispose of that goody-two-shoes Horus.

>>55157074
Palpatine's end goal is being the Supreme Leader Of The Galaxy forever, playing second fiddle to the Chaos Gods doesn't really fit.

Ol' Pappy is arrogant enough to think that he can subvert them from within and achieve dominance. Yannow, like ol' Abaddon.
