This means absolutely nothing LS, using 1 fight with Yoda along with the fact that Kun never fought him.
Palpatine also has never faced anyone with a ridiculous amuletNo, but I'm sure he has heard of them, and knows what they are about.
and a unique double blade.He did raise and train an apprentice who uses a double blade. Maybe not the exact same kind of double blade, but he is not completely ignorant of its style.
Saying that he's got Kun beat because he went toe to toe with Yoda is plain retarded.It does help the arguement for Sidious.
Sidious nearly matched Yoda in skill and speed in a lightsaber duel, and nearly crushed him in force duel, by ripping several senate pods from durasteel restraints and throwing them at Yoda with great ease.
His lightning was strong enough to momentarily knock Yoda unconscience, and desentegrate a giant sith wyrm to ash.
Will the amulets give Sidious trouble? They will give him hell. Sidious is a fast and very smart fighter. I think Sidious will dodge the first few blasts and rush to Kun forcing a lightsaber duel. After that it will be kinda hard just to throw blasts out; it will take some of his concentration off the duel, and that can be very fatal.

Disagree. Yoda is a useful benchmark for comparison not because it allows an ABC argument but because it shows Sidious's raw abilities. We can point to the duel and say, "look: Sidious is amplifying his speed and incorporating TK into the conflict."
NOT as the sole determinant in a versus fight.
dude thats disgusting. It looks like he has diabetes, and major skin problems.
And, he looks like freaking 150 yrs old.
he should at least have a scarier look. Right now, he looks like an old male hag deprived of sleep and nutrition trying to pose as a jedi.
EDIT: with a red blade.
edit again: I think ROTS/DE sids wins, cuz he can get to Kun before he gets off that many blasts.
but if he doesn't close the gap, he will die pretty fast.
