Palpatine and the Force

I just realized this a few minutes ago.

Why couldn't the Jedi feel Palpatine's strong connection to the dark side of the force when they were around him?

if i'm correct, they should've felt the 'dark side' in the room whenever their with him.

If he blocked their Jedi senses, I dunno, I think they would've known someone is blocking them. He's been with Yoda and the council in one room, and no one bloody noticed the possible dark side force or something resonating from Palpy?

or am I just confused by what Jedi can or can't do?

Palpatine was simply powerful enough to conceal his Force connection.

Yup, pretty much, it isn't explained in the movies, but he 'clouds' the Jedi's minds while they are around him.

oh.. so that's what it is..

thanks.

"the dark side clouds everything"

"i think we should inform the senate that our ability to use the force has dimininished"

etc, etc...

... meaning they can't pinpoint or something close where the dark side came from...?

well, more so meaning that palpatine is a master of manipulating and clouding the force. like a jedi radar-jammer. he's just that damn good...well....evil...yeah

so evil that he's good... hmm

err.. he's great.. I guess then.. in an evil sort of way...

And since they reside on Coruscnat they're always around him. Maybe the clouding even spans the universe... I dunno. It is better not to ask too many questions... 😉

... or else I might reveal horrible plot holes, or is there some other hilarious or what not reason you would offer?

Exactly...

good to know...

Yup

Queeq. This thread has had its question answered. Please close it before it turns into a mindless chat
