I love how LAYERED the star wars villains are. How DENSE their stories are. I do not condone their actions! But it's easy to see how the Villains build star wars.
How Dooku was the villain of Grievous and Ventress' story, how Ventress was the villain of Savages story. How virtually everyone was the villain of Dookus story, how he was betrayed and used the same way Satine was.
How in the Clone Wars, Grievous talks as if he has free will, as if he's valued, but he's just a tool and he was stripped of his culture and life for nothing.
How Ventress took the long, hard path to redemption, and died for love.
How Anakin saved himself because of how much he loved his children.
How Maul dragged himself through life, spitting in the face of death and pain EVERY TIME it came for him.
How Palpatine is at the very center of all their suffering. The Dark Side consumes everything you love. THATS WHY I LOVE THE VILLAINS

I Strongly Dislike the Concept of Palpatine as Naturally Evil
I am a Palpatine fan because I like how fun he is on-screen being evil (largely due to Ian McDiarmid’s acting and the overall shallowness of the characters in the movies), but forty-something years after the Emperor (and I like him called that way better than “Emperor Palpatine”) first graced the screen, I do feel tired of the same tricks played over and over again, that Palpatine is basically a male evil witch. I’ve long been a supporter of a deeper dive into Palpatine the person as a solution to this fatigue. We don’t have to have a formally Palpatine-centric major story (i.e. something on-screen), just something explaining his personal philosophy a little deeper would be welcome. Sadly, I do think such a project is unforeseeable in the near future because there’s a shift in vision.
In Lucas’ era (pre-2013, let’s just say), Palpatine is incredibly evil but there are still gapes of humanity within him, there even—as some visual guides, interviews, and novels would indicate—an attempt to build some type of “molding the world according to what I see as good” character with him starting in the Prequels years up to 2012. As a digression, I do find this concept coupled with his pursuit of power fascinating, “he is selfish, but” but “he is for progress, but”. A rather brain-tickling fictional fellow if executed correctly. But, and I do sense it becoming more and more evident, the idea has never been advanced since. There’s a prevailing concept of Palpatine as naturally the personification of evil nowadays.
On a more laughable basis, I don’t like the concept because it prevents my favorite character from being something much more interesting through character study pieces or simply by not being always relegated to the role of Final Boss in a Popular American Sci-Fi Franchise. On a deeper note, I think that the core message of Star Wars is choices between doing the right or wrong things. The story of Anakin’s redemption is ultimately that, his fall too though within more complicated circumstances. Ben Solo made the decision to emulate his idealized grandfather, and so on. I do think it would be unfair to suddenly enact extreme predestination on one guy to be evil (but how does “the will of the Force” work, does it set a rigid roadmap for everything?). And more, it would erase the profundity of his evilness so much if you think about it.
See, you have this man right here, he is incredibly evil, billions suffer because of this single human being. But then you find out that he has a severe, undeniable urge to maim, to destroy, to oppose all authority, value, and system, to play God whatever the cost, all for his own natural satisfaction. I do think there could be arguments for him not fully out of his mind, intelligent and educated enough to know norms and values, and there are steps to prevent natural predispositions to become harmful, but I personally would be a little less harsh toward such characters compared to characters who without any internal or external pressure choose evil freely. This relates to accountability, how much can we attribute to his free will?
I like my villains soberly choosing evil. (this doesn’t mean I sideline the “nurture” factor or the more complex “nature” reasoning, only that I hold them to some extent lesser of a consideration when judging). If he is evil out of his own free will, the question would be “Why?” which would be answered with a multitude of interesting personal history, cultural influences, and beliefs, making the character interesting. Let’s compare that to a scenario where Palpatine is naturally evil. You ask “Why?” and the answer you’ll get is akin to “It is how it is”, which is an incredible bore for me. The more freely the person chooses evil, the better for me.
So, yeah, I don’t like Palpatine fixed as the Dark Side incarnate. I like him incredibly evil but still very much human. Note, I do not see his pursuit of power as something inhuman, it is terrifyingly human, but maybe couple it with something else (needn’t be redeeming or sob-story-ish). Or maybe, let him mature into the incredible evil with nearly all of his humanity absent. I can totally enjoy that, as long as it’s not him being born evil.

What is it with Star Wars villains and hobbies?
Thrawn? Art nerd.
The Grand Inquisitor? Murderously into books.
General Grievous? collects light sabers.
It's an empire of nerds.

Fairy Tail Villains
Knowing how Fairy Tail guild treats the villains from its own universe, if the villains from another shows/movies/animes/games went to Earthland, I'm 100% sure that they would be redeemed too. Even if those villains were the evilest persons of the world they came from. Because no matter how bad is the villain that fights against Fairy Tail, they always seem to bring out the good in them. There are a few exceptions, but I think that's only because Fairy Tail didn't have the chance to change them. I'm sure that if they have had it, some villains (who weren't redeemed) from Grimoire Heart/Tartaros/Avatar/Alvarez Empire, would have been redeemed too.
