ROTS Sidious vs. ROTJ Sidious

While ROTS Palpatine wasn't Yoda crippled, I'm pretty sure that during saber duels about 99 percent of his physicality was enhanced by his force powers.

Yeah, RotJ Sidious.

Pretty much. I don't really see why people think a walking stick or getting older matters considering Sidious' titanic Force reserves. The fact his Force reserves and command of the Force increased only suggests he became better physically, not worse.

At a certain level of phyical weaknezz direct force attackz are better than light zaber combat, wich became a wazte of energy....

One hand Vader couldn't kill RotS Sidious IMHO.

Blatantly stated that Yoda lost a step in his old age. He too has titanic force reserves and can fight for an extended amount of time. Although I'd argue were he a hundred or two years younger he would have defeated ROTS Sidious.

TPM / RotS Sidious was a physical beast just like Maul and Savage, or maybe he was even stronger than those two. There is no way One hand Vader would throw someone strong like him, it seems he become physically weaker in years and that is why he start to use walking stick in RotJ as well.

IIRC there was a source saying that Sidious only had the cane to feign weakness.

Though this would've been something I came across like 6 years ago if it exists.

As of RotJ Sidious has devoted vast amounts of time to studying the dark side of the force. He sought to become immortal, (in the new canon at least) how to bend reality, performed many dark and twisted experiments on Byss, accumulated vast amounts of force knowledge, and more besides.

So I'd assume Sidious powers have increased by a rather large amount.

As for sabers, impossible to tell.

Zo if that'z true Vitiate will be juzt more than a god....

You're right.
