I, personally, don't use Palpatine's ability to possess others in a vs forums. However, Palpatine does have this ability, and in order to counter possession, requires that the force user in question has a stronger will than the one possessing him; and, TBH, Palpatine has the greatest feats in regards to sheer will power, from his telepathic feats to willing the force out of balance (along with Plagueis) on a cosmic scale, not to mention breaking free from chaos through sheer will, and being able to roam bodiless in space without anchoring his spirit to a force enhanced object or a place potent with the dark side. Palpatine was able to force Vader on his knees and cause extreme agony to his apprentice via a telepathic intrusion, so what's to stop him from taking full control of Anakin's body and mind with his full essence, considering the sheer level of mental dominance he displayed over Vader from a distance of light years? If Vader is unable to prevent Sidious from entering or repulse him from his mind, then how would Anakin be able to keep from having his body taken over by Sidious's essence, considering Anakin isn't on Vader's level when it comes to willpower, and the fact that fighting off a full essence transfer is a lot more difficult than mind domination?
In regards to willpower, what feats do anyone from the team have to suggest they could keep from having their bodies and minds being taken over by Sidious essence? Although I don't usually argue this, but I am wondering what counter argument can be formed if I do happen to.
In other words, can anybody refute Cart's assertion?
