Hm. I though he was 65 by ROTS. Meaning that by ROTJ he'd be, oh, 84 or so, around Dooku's age in ROTS.Then again, there is the common fan theory that he is an ancient being himself, and that it was his facade as Palpatine that was melted away by his powerful lightning, not his true face.
And the Dark Empire series should never have occured. Completely takes away the meaning of Anakin's last act, his sacrifice. And just the fact that someone should completely cheat death, not once, but twice, is maybe even three times, is just stupid. Even worse is that he comes back with power that can destroy a star fleet.
Though Palpatine's body was destroyed, his mind and whatever twisted soul he had lived on. Yet, how could he possibly have gained power while in a state of suspended hibernation. Exar Kun was in the same state when he drained the Massassi, and he was there for 4000 years. Palps was there for 7, Exar should've come back as more powerful than any being that ever lived if that is the case.

Agreed. The Dark Empire series might have had its moments, but it should never have happened. Hell, Palpatine said that he had died prior to ROTJ, but Lucas thought that was too much and stepped in to explain.
