It was kind of a race between him and Vader to see who could get him to join first, because the one who got Luke to join him knew that the other would die. So Palpatine was afraid that Luke would join Darth Vader and kill him, and they would rule the Galaxy together.
Emperor Palpatine admitted to fearing Luke Skywalker and even said that if he had him by his side instead of Kylo Ren, he would have won the galaxy.
DARK SIDE FRIDAY - Did you know Palpatine feared Qui-Gon Jinn? Palpatine was immensely powerful and he could see the future which made him very confident about pretty much anyone who stood against him. So why Qui-Gon Jinn?
One of the strongest and most compelling reasons that Vader senses Luke on his approach to Endor, but the Emperor does not, is that Vader is both Luke's father and conflicted himself.
If Qui-Gon had survived his fight against Darth Maul, he would have sensed Palpatine's evil, and Anakin wouldn't have become Darth Vader. Thus, while Qui-Gon was less powerful than Yoda, Palpatine feared him more.
Jedi Masters Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin, and Agen Kolar confronted Chancellor Palpatine upon learning of his secret identity as a Sith Lord.
As powerful as Darth Sidious may have been, it's easy to forget he actually seemed afraid of Master Yoda. As seen in Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine initially thought he could deal with the aged Jedi Master - and then, when Yoda proved able to counter the Sith Lord's Force lightning, he fled.
However, Leia's strong-mindedness during Vader's probe denied him the opportunity to discover she was his daughter. That serves to justify Vader's lack of awareness of his connection to Leia, although, perhaps, not as satisfyingly as if Lucas had planned for the relationship from the beginning.
Powers. The Force: As the son of the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker, he was immensely powerful and had a amazingly strong connection to the Force, stronger than most Force users alive. Like his father, Luke possessed a powerful connection to the Force.
Deceased. Luke Castellan: His fatal flaw was his excessive wrath. He was unable to forgive his father Hermes for what he had been through. Luke's anger blinded him so much that he went against his closest friends.
Jedi Master Yoda is the most powerful of them all. This should come as no surprise, as he was the head of the Jedi Order in the prequels and was revered for his abilities during the original trilogy. Yoda's power is unmatched and was a real threat to Darth Vader and the Imperials.
Tarkin was the embodiment of Palpatine's desire to rule by fear and was put in charge of the Death Star project. In many ways, Tarkin was more ruthless than Palpatine.
Having covertly turned Kylo Ren—Anakin's grandson and Luke's nephew—to the dark side, Palpatine orders Ren to find and kill Rey, the last remaining Jedi and Palpatine's paternal granddaughter. Palpatine is ultimately defeated and destroyed by Rey.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hints at Palpatine's real purpose for Darth Vader. It's an open secret that Palpatine was disappointed with Darth Vader; he thought he was getting the Chosen One, a force of nature who could not be beaten, and yet Darth Vader was defeated the moment he crossed blades with an adult Jedi.
Sidious was well trained from his own Master, Darth Plagueis, in disguising, hiding his Force abilities and Force signature to the point that Jedi could not pinpoint the Dark Side of the Force that definitely should have been radiating off of him.
Even after his brutal scorching in the fires of Mustafar, sand remained the only natural phenomenon that Vader feared. To him, sand was a reminder that he'd failed to save his mother or Padme from death.

Anakin Skywalker was a living vergence in the Force, and as Darth Vader he was a force to be reckoned with. But was he more powerful than Luke? As powerful as Darth Vader may be in Star Wars, he pales in comparison to his son, Luke Skywalker.
Darth Revan
Many have described him as being the most powerful Force User of all time, making him superior to even Luke Skywalker and Yoda. Darth Revan had the ability to wield the powers of both the light side and dark side of the Force.

He either didn't realize it was the same protocol droid or figured he'd been memory-wiped so FUNCTIONALLY wasn't the same droid and didn't care.
Theory 1: Leia Doesn't Remember Ben Is Obi-Wan
Throughout her encounters with Kenobi in the series, he refers to himself as Ben. The most straightforward explanation would be that Leia knows the person who rescued her is Ben, and never connected the dots that Ben is actually Obi-Wan.
He was still completely unaware of the Sidious/ Palpatine connection until ROTS. He also said during TCW season 6 that the Jedi order must believe in the clones and end the war before the Sith's plans are realized.
While Palpatine plotted in the shadows and planned his Galactic Empire, he underestimated Yoda. And even when Yoda discovered Palpatine's true nature, Yoda underestimated his power.
Yoda claims that the light side of the Force is stronger than the dark, but his battle against Palpatine is almost equal. The Sith Lord's powers were enough to overwhelm the Jedi and send him plummeting down to the depths of the senate chamber.
