Emperor palpatine's zeta on his unique gives him +50% Max Protection and +5% max protection (stacking) whenever he shocks an enemy. It's the stacking part that I want to focus on. Stacking max protection only really matters if you have Consistent Protection Recovery. Because even if you gain more max protection, if you have 0% protection left it will do nothing. Currently the only empire (and sith for that mater) that can recover protection for his allies is Thrawn. So without him in the team this stacking part might as well not be there. To help the synergy between these 2 there should be protection recovery in RG's kit somewhere. This can be with Imperial Phalax, that all empire allies recover protection. Or in one of his uniques. So that allies (or only Palpatine) recover protection. Either way, some Protection recovery for his (empire) allies (or at least for emperor palpatine) somewhere in his kit.
