There all a bit direct for HK-47. He would be very subtle with Palpatine, something like changing the oxygen levels in the Death Star etc. (I know he'd survive but something along these lines).
This post does derive from Escape wrongly thinking that me and Fishy though HK would defeat Sidious in a straight fight. That thread referred that Revan would have to assasinate Sidious and other Imperial dignitaries, "assasinate" not kill.
Originally posted by Darth_GlentractI think blocking blaster bolts with bare hands is a little bit too far-fetched for jedi and sith. Sidious can probably be shot to death.
It depends. The only way to kill a powerful force user like that is to shoot them repeatedly or stab them in the back.I think that Sidious would be able to sense HK. He has no force ability to hide his intentions and Sidious is relatively perceptive. HK would shoot at him, Sidious would block the blaster bolt with his hands, then rip HK in half with a shrug.

Lesser Jedi(Corran Horn with only a few weeks of training) was able to withstand the explosion from high powered bombs. Sidious is certainly more powerful than he was at that time and Corran absorbed more energy than a single blaster bolt worth.
Originally posted by Darth_GlentractThat's a good point though. Certainly worth remembering for further threads.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves...Sidious would absolutedly fry HK in a staright fight - but theres is a strong possibility that HK would kill or seriously harm Sidious if he attempted to assasinate him in the Death Star.
How? Sidious is very perceptive and will be able to sense an attack. That and his ability to stop blaster bolts will make him able to thwart any attack.

This doesn't follow. If Person A can withstand an explosion and Person B is more powerful, naturally Person B can withstand an explosion? No, not neccessarily.
Corran Horn was not trained as a Sith, and I find it doubtful that a Sith Lord would have extensive training in the art of Living Through Bombs. Also, you're sampling. Just because one neo-jedi can survive explosions doesn't mean a Sith Lord from an era before his can do the same.

Does Corran Horn have training against living through bombs though? Sidious has demonstrated greater control over a greater amount of energy(force lightning) and energy absorption is a common feat for Jedi in the KOTOR-era. It's not my personal sampling.

You don't get the point--- you need to prove where Sidious has shown this ability or has found knowledge of it. I can just as easily say that Naga Sadow can create illusionary armies in the thousands thus Marka Ragnos and Simus can do the same because they are considered stronger, or that Nadd can freeze the entire senate because he is considered stronger than Kun.
Strength doesn't correlate to ability in all cases.
And for the record, HK would lose.

I have proved it, you just missed it.
