So, apparently this is a thing. In SW: Galaxies, there's a quest where you can talk to Emperor Palpatine's hologram at the end, but if you do, he kills you with Force Lightning through the hologram. Can't find any videos of it online but there's numerous websites (including both Wookieepedia and the SWG wiki) confirming this, and there's a picture on the SWG wiki.
I'm truly unsure of how it works. I suppose Az's interpretation of Palpatine's claim in The Dark Side Compendium was correct - he can cast Force Lightning across the galaxy.

Yeh, they had a similar thing with Vader at one point. It happens during an assassination mission, Palpatine kills you as a cover up for being involved if you go back to him instead of another random imperial, IIRC.
Can confirm
Though if Vader kills you with force lightning (which he does during the first part of the same mission) who knows how reliable it is....

Man-made mediums can serve as a gateway to project power to distant locations in Star Wars. Nothing new here.
The Force exists everywhere in Star Wars and all you need is to get a fix on the target, no matter how far.
Vitiate siphoned energy of some of his subjects on a consistent basis and distance was irrelevant to him in this regard. He dispatched his Hands for missions in distant locations from time-to-time for example.

I asked this question many years ago on Wookieepedia. Idk if Star Wars: Galaxies is a reliable source, but if Palpatine can conjure lightning from across the galaxy then that IS awesome
