[Star Wars] What kind of public persona/presence did Emperor Palpatine have?

A lot of that depends on who you were and where you lived. 

As seen on Rebels, when the Emperor makes public statements, it is always accompanied with a "photoshopped" image of him as he looked like before his disfigurement.

For someone on the core worlds, Palpatine would look like a hero of the Clone Wars. He may have been strict, but he provided prosperity and security. The dirty secrets of what happens to non human beings are rarely discussed.

If you were non human, than the Emperor would look like the tyrant he truly is. But fear of his Imperial forces would keep them from getting too out of line. And perhaps for some the safety that the Empire provided ment that they could bear the impositions.
