This is excellent. I kind of shows you how the Jed and their beliefs were viewed by many people, especially non-Jedi in the Galaxy. Going on about a group of "sorcerers springing up after a millennia". And the bit about offering him a brandy. They have it in the SW universe. Genius.
As funny as it is to hear Palpatine talk about the Sith Lord in the third person and enjoy himself with lots of irony, it strikes me as odd that he would act like the Sith Lord (if he existed) is some kind of neutral-but-dark entity that could help them win the war, as opposed to the guy *leading* the Separatist war effort, the master of Count Dooku, which the Jedi would have surely told him. And a running theme throughout ROTS both in the novel and in the movie is that Palpatine, though he presents himself as eager to win the war, refuses to negotiate with the Separatist leadership and consider anything but a total Republic victory.
If it wasn’t for Palps being a Sith himself, I’d say he makes some DAMN GOOD points about the Jedi just using the excuse of a secret Sith to make power grabs
The "power grabs" were meant for returning the power back to the senate from Palpatine. Mace Windu understood that the power was to be returned back to the senate because they already knew that Palpatine was under the influence of Darth Sidious.

No film could possibly encapsulate the same amount of detail as an entire novel counterpart within 2 hours. This novel does not “fix” RotS it just enhances it tremendously
What makes this scene especially great is that, if you pay attention, you can see just how subtly Palpatine is manipulating Anakin and keeping control of the conversation. First, when he talks about how he trusts Anakin, he immediately deflects when he says “The Jedi…”, showing us that Anakin is most important to him and how little he respects the Jedi. It also serves to keep Anakin on his side, as emphasizing his trust in Anakin is his way of making Anakin feel important and bolstering his ego. Then, when he asks Anakin if he’s ever asked him to do anything against his conscience, he cuts him off before he can get a word in, insisting that he never has and telling Anakin he’s proud of him, once again bolstering his ego, so he lets his guard down. Finally, when he talks about how he doubts that Sidious even exists, he continually cuts off Anakin and forces him to listen to his side of things. This showcases that, even before he revealed his identity as Sidious to Anakin and Anakin became Vader, Palpatine was always in charge. Anakin was always subservient to him, and he didn’t even know it, because his inferiority complex and Palpatine’s frequent praise meant that he was willing to hear Palpatine out, even when what he was saying was either blatantly untrue or a half truth. Palpatine was always Anakin’s master, under the guise of a mentor.

What a horrible fate Anakin willingly succumbed to. Hate and anger brewing in him every waking moment of his existence. Knowing that all he ever was was another pawn in Sidious' ascension to power.

You can tell that Palpatine is having a lot of fun trash talking the Sith Lord, while also knowing that he himself IS that Sith Lord.
Labyrinth of Evil was also funny because after the battle of belderone the jedi reveal to palpatine they hunt down sidious
Many superheroes also have this kind of fun.
