If you care at all.... Lucas always intended Emperor Palpatine to be the "Big Bad" in the sequel trilogy. He comes back in George's treatment. FWIW

I don't mind merchandise. These movies clearly are made to make money.

These types of "characters" or outfits rarely serve the story or movie though. They are just blatantly made and promoted to sell toys and other collectibles.
