a.) There's no indication Palpatine ramped up his lightning in the interim, whereas the ROTJ and ROTS novels specify when Palpatine does such.
b.) Ramping up the lightning when Marek is only two steps away is practical suicide for Palpatine, even despite the time it ultimately took to reach him.

A. ) The indication is that he doesn't want Galen to ****ing grab him so that his own lightning is coursing into him which would cause him to be in a desperate situation as both the novel and you yourself noted on the last page.
B. ) So dumb.

B. ) He was diminishing/shielding himself against it in some way because it's physically impossibly to tank Sidious's lightning without any sort of defense when he wants to kill you. And the point is that Sidious is fully capable of ramping up his lightning when his target is close by.

a.) Which really further stresses my point if you're saying that.
b.) Well for one, Palpatine didn't want Marek dead - he wanted him as a replacement to Vader. And for two, no, because Kota likewise tanked Sidious' lightning without any defense. And three, the text states it hit Marek's body and cells, not his barrier and tutaminis, so wrong there. What a shame.

A. ) I really don't know what to say here. Suggesting Sidious seeing a guy slowly moving against his lightning and reaching out for him wouldn't cause him to ramp up his lightning is just plain stupidity.
B. ) There's no evidence that Rahm didn't put up defenses as I already pointed out in my post on the last page and in fact given Sidious was trying to kill him as is noted in the novel it would make it impossible for him not to. You have yet to respond to that post either btw.

That's literally the only possibllity given Rahm doesn't have superhuman durability without the Force and the novel already confirmed Sidious had lethal intent against Rahm.

Yes. And Sidious has no reason to not kill the one guy who's threatening to ruin his plans of turning Galen to the Darkside. In fact he would want to end Rahm asap so exactly what happened ( Galen snapping out of the trance ) doesn't occur.

And no, Palpatine was enjoying it.
