How old must Palpatine be in Return of the Jedi? Also, how does someone as old as Dooku do sommersults and whatnot in Attack of the Clones? Does the dark side give powers of everlasting youth to some degree? I'm wondering this because on the Ep II commentary Lucas talks about how the dark side is for people who are greedy in that they refuse to let go of things and won't accept that "things change".

Palpy was old in Ep 1, he was ancient in Ep 6

It says in the dark jedi code "There is no death there is immortality"

A dark jedi seeks to become immortal through the force.It takes years of thraining and strengthening of a dark jedi through the force to accomplish this. The dark jedi becomes so powerful in the force, that his own life force becomes so powerful that it will never dissapear from the galaxy.With this ability, the dark jedi can never be killed entirely.Should his boddy be broken,he shall live on in the force. (dark jedi=sith)
