Agreed, though I'm not entirely sure if he's the most evil human in the face of the galaxy. I know Blackhole/Chronus might be even worse than him, and besides... among human characters from other series, I'd probably say that Joker, Kefka Palazzo, and Emperor Mateus (well, the latter's pre-death at least, since after death, he technically became something more than human) might be a lot worse than Palpatine. Actually, come to think of it, I think Emperor Geldoblame from Baten Kaitos was even worse than Palpatine as well (basically, if Palpatine were merely Richard Nixon, Geldoblame in the first Baten Kaitos is pretty much Joseph Stalin or Pol Pot, right down to having entire settlements in an extremely brutal manner exterminated just because they failed to deliver ore shipments in time).

Note that I'm not counting Maleficent or Scar, because, while they probably do rival Palpatine in terms of sheer evil, they aren't actually human, not even originally (the former is a Fairy, while the latter is a Lion), and you specifically said he is the most evil human.
