Sidious after being shot in the stomach by a glock? deprived of sleep and food for 100 days....Sorry, sidious is basically on his last legs....Banes takes this.....
I'm making the threads even this way, properly debilitated Palpatine gives a good fight to Bane

Sidious endured something comparable before he received training from Plagueis, lol. Given how the likes of Caedus have fought equally with Jaina with one arm and a hole in their gut, I'm inclined to think Sidious can bypass the pain for at least some time and cleave Bane's ass in half.
Sidious isn't Caedus, either. There's more of a gap between Sidious and Caedus than Bane and Jaina, not to mention that Caedus had taken worse when he fought Jaina.
