Sidious' Battle Meditation

Where does it say that Sidious has Battle Meditation?

In the Thrawn triliogy.

Yeah, I think in the beginning of Spectre Of The Past; but is it actually confirmed im not sure. I think Mara Jade said it.

Pellaeon and Thrawn were talking about it after Joruus did it.

Don't know. Next Question.

Travizzle, please stop posting crap like that. I've read three of your post and they are all like that.

Palpatine was highly trained in Battle Meditation. In the Thrawn trilogy, Grand Admiral Thrawn knew of this power, and tells his lieutenants that that was why they were defeated at Endor. Palpatine was running them on with Battle Meditation - and when Vader killed him - the sudden loss sent the Imperial Starfleet in disarray, and allowed the Rebels to defeat the Empire.

This is backed up in ROTJ when you see Luke dragging Vader across the Shuttle bay while the Imperial soldiers just run around like headless chickens.
Surely they would have seen something wrong with a known rebel dragging their half dead Commander-in-Chief into a shuttle and blasting off to god knows where. This to me seems to indicate that they relied heavily on the Emporor's battle meditation.

That to me seems to indicate they had no loyalty's and just wanted to get the hell out of there.

Yeah, the space station was gonna blow up. Why not get out of there?

The thrawn trilogy shows that Thrawn believes Palp has it, but it's not proven. Joruus on the other hand, basically is proven to have it.

I heard from wikipedia.org that Sidious was using the BM at the Battle for Endor and when he died that sudden shock was their downfall or something.

It might be true, and I would actually say there's more proof towards it but I really do think Lando would've succeeded in destroying the second Death Star if the Emperor had survived. And also if you watch the fight, more TIE's are being destroyed than Rebel fighters and there are way more TIE's even.

Well, in a way you could say the force was with the Rebels but the Emperor had battle meditation for the X-wing vs. Tie Fighter thing.

In was in the Thrawn Trilogy...Thrawn confirmed it. Darth Sidious knows a lot of things and Battle Mediation is one of them. If I'm not mistaken he was the first in EU to have it.

Well he may have had it, but it wasn't that powerful and he never used it, and definitly not at the battle of Endor. If he would have used it back then he wouldn't have had the time to talk to Luke.

Yeah it wasn't that powerful thats why the Empire was the greatest Empire in that galaxy ever. And thats why the Empire won so many battles. Wasn't that powerful... 😆...did you even read the Thrawn trilogy? How can you say its weak. You have no clue of how powerful it was. Its powerful, becasue that is obviosly why the Empire became so great.

Won so many battles? They had more troops superior army's and it defeated the republic by making it fight itself...

Okay, yeah that was powerful. And at how many battles would the emperor have been? Very few, hardly any. So how many times could he have used it?

Have you read the ANH scroll it says "The Rebel Alliance has struck its first victory against the Evil Gallactic Empire." 20 years the Empire has defeated the Rebel Alliance in battle!

How many ships dit the Rebel alliance have again? How long ago could it have started to strike against the Empire? How big a threat was it really, and did Palpatine ever keep himself busy with it? He wasn't even on the first Death Star that would have ended the rebels if it wasn't for Luke because he wanted to do soemthing else (probably eat pie)

The Empire did not need his battle meditation.

It is odd. But they had NO choice in the matter. The Emperor was the most powerful being in the Empire. And none of the officers - save for Thrawn and Mara Jade - knew that the Emperor was using the Battle Meditation on them.
