On a side note, why does Sheev sound like The Amazing Mumbo lol?
This flame feat is nothing to get excited over. Omitting that this takes place in some omni-dimensional portal that we don't yet understand, it's pretty clear by Sheev's enjoyment of the situation that he was toying with them near the beginning at least. His goal was to, what, capture them? So this attack was a fraction of his full capabilities. Looks like Tano and Ezra utilized some form of tutaminis.

Nothing new on the Vader vs Ahsoka front. I'm calling that a loss for her. She was still being forced back and would have been killed if not for Ezra.
And I'm honestly not even surprised by her holding the Emperor. Remember that concept Filoni had of her holding the Emperor's lighting in the Jedi Temple or something?
The implication is that he needs someone already there to do that. He only manages to force his hand through after he has caught Ezra and his dialogue further hints at that.
I agree. Sidious came across looking great in this episode. Actually, from a "power level" perspective, all the force users did. Some nice feats all around TBH.

He was toying. If he really wanted to capture them then and there, he would of pressed his attack and straight up overwhelmed them instead of cackling away in amusement the moment he encounters some resistance.

Overconfident might be a better word. He's clearly strained towards the end when the two are making their escape and manages to shut his mouth pretty quick once they start to slip from his grasp.

So once Palpatine had a beacon to hone-into(ie. Ezra/Ahsoka), he was able to use his own sorcery to essentially force his influence/power into *the* quintessential nexus point of *all* space/time... And very nearly enter that realm in the flesh without using a specialized gateway created by the 'Mortis Gods'..? Damn.
Unless I'm way off base here, that is one of the best canonical force feats to date -- if only because it depicts the sheer scale at which Palpatine can operate.

Absolutely. Impressive in the sense that Palpatine is both skilled at utilizing ancient sith sorcery, something we can only imagine being incredibly complicated that takes many years to master, in addition to possessing the raw power needed to break that inter-dimensional wall and hone onto force signatures, so to speak.
