1. Well thats the obvious. Palpatine would be very confident
.....mmm?
2. His full trust in Vader? He believed Vader was fully consumed by the Darkside, and there was no longer any good in him...But it turned out, there was....
2. The Emperor was aware of the good in Vader. He could sense it. He also knew from TESB Vaders bumble up!
3. The darkside of the force. The good side of the force has it's powers too
3. Both the Dark and lightsides are one. Its the users point of view and feelings that define the powers. It was also the will of the force that Luke survives.
4. wisdom comes with old age, but the overconfidence trait may be in some sort of a conflict with his darkside belief. I dont think cockyness can be beneficial even with the darkside
Old age is just the lessering of Palpatines agility. The overconfidance would be natural to someone who was used to control and power.
5. A single death star blown up didn't destroy the empire, nor would it if it was destroyed at the end of ROTJ, without Palpatine being destroyed as well.
I didnt say the destruction of the Death Star destroyed the Empire. In fact consider this: When Palpatine was killed by Vader, the Imperial forces were thrown into utter chaos losing Palpatines force control over the fleet what caused them to retreat even though they were still a neumeric superior force: I also blame poor clone training.
6. Had nothing to do with ability. It was his faith in his father.
Thats wat I said though. It was the love for Anakin, Han, Leia, all his friends that allowed him to realised his mistake before he killed Vader.
7. Vader found himself at the time, a redemption. saving his son led him back to the good side. Luke felt the anger in Vader when he fought him in the ESB, experiencing the darkside as Vader fought Luke, Luke felt the anger, but he also felt somthing other than hate. Looking back, Luke viewed it as heart to let him live (Not to rule the empire as father and son). Vader was not stupid observing his son as he felt him. I'm sure Luke felt a learned resistance to the darkside from Yoda,. Vader knew this, and could have killed Luke, but decided not to, even though he had doubt that Luke wouldn't turn. But thats what I said! "The love he had" aquired "for his son."

2) Lies, nowhere does it say that in the movie.
4) And controlled the entire galaxy for over two decades, I would be rather over-confident and cocky as well.
5) We don't know he had control over the battle, or the troops using the force, that would be EU from books, and books aren't allowed are they queeq?
7) Dumb and annoying son, kill him off.
Well, here's my knowledge. Vader remembered when Sid let him kill Dooku, basically so Sid could have a stronger underling. Vader fears that Luke is about to replace him in the same way. So he up and throws Sid down the shaft, hoping that he will become the big dog. When he is severely injured by Sid, he knows he ain't gonna make it anyway, so he acts all sweet and nice to Luke just so Luke can at least think that his old man wasn't so bad after all, even though it is just a bunch of B.S. 😆

Actually no, its simply just that darkside way. Dooku was beaten, meaning his was a weaker one. Sidious wants a strong apprentice. Palpatine knew that Anakin could be the strongest and most powerful as he said this to Yoda at the Sidous vs Yoda dual in EP III. Anakin losing to Obiwan was a unexpected and lucky coincidence that Anakin was no longer able to defeat sidous and become emperor after his body went to Sh&t.
Also, George Lucas, said so to all his fans, if its him, on supershadow.com archives.
Lucasfilm has said on many occasions the owner of that site has never met Lucas, has no affiliation with Lucasfilm, and Lucalsfilm has tried to sue him many times.
If that's proof enough he's full of crap there's also the factsthat:
- He said he was the guy fighting Vader in the hologram during episode III, and that his film name was Nebar Foxis. The name of the character in actuality is Cin Drallig.
- He said Sidious had an apprentice named Darth Rage between Maul and Dooku, we know that's not true.
- The pictures he posts of his "girlfriend" have all been traced to a website of model photos.
