If anything he has a lesser connection to the Force because he's not actually connected to it like someone would be through their midi-chlorians. That's probably why spirits get so tired so easily and need outside replenishment. They lack the ability to channel power from the Force directly. And you didn't explain why that would make his feat easier for him to perform. Why would your theoretical state make it so he can do more with less?
Erm, Force spirits are made from Force energy, they are part of the Living Force itself. Midi-chlorians are not the Force, they are a middle man, channeling the Force
through midichlorians is not channeling the Force directly, its channeling it indirectly.
I mean really this is basically Star Wars knowledge, that when a Force User dies they pass into the Netherworld of the Force, that they become one with the Force. The spirit state is therefore a state of limbo, but its much closer to the Force than any coporeal being could be, who channels the Force through an essential third party.
I also see no evidence to support the notion that spirits tire easily. It took 4,000 years for Exar Kun's powers to be exhausted, and still he was powerful.
I've already provided many examples to support my argument, such as mere Sith Lords dominating the minds of other Sith Lords in the Dark Temple, which at the time only the Sith Emperor himself appeared capable of, and Exar Kun invading Luke's mind and sending him into a coma.
I'd also remind you of this quote:
Drained from thousands of Massassi sacrifices ... the power is rising. The ritual begun ... Sith power objects unleashed! Even as the Jedi approach, Exar Kun prepares to unleash his powerful spirit ... to shed the chains of his mortal body and run rampant throughout the cosmos!http://static.comicvine.com/uploads...ain+ritual5.jpg
And to add, some interesting things I found from
The Tenebrous Way:
Now that his body's physical senses had altogether perished. Tenebrous found his perception of the Force to be proportionately heightened. With glorious precision, he could trace the slightest wisp of Plagueis' clumsy Force-probing as his apprentice sought to record and analyze every detail of Plagueis's death. He could feel Plagueis himself: crouched nearby, his eyes closed, the long spiderish fingers of one hand stretched forth as though to snatch Tenebrous' disappearing midi-chlorians from mid-air.--Taken from The Tenebrous Way
Now, dead at last, he could begin to enjoy the fruits of his lifelong labor. In the Force, he could feel that his body had already suffered irreversible brain-death, yet his consciousness remained, fully aware, fully functional, and connected to the Force in a manner more intimate than he had ever believed possible. Freed now of the crude biological processes that mark the passage of time, Tenebrous found he could perceive the measured tick of each individual nanosecond while simultaneously comprehending the entire sweep of galactic eons.--Taken from The Tenebrous Way
I think its made obvious by these sources that when
freed from your physical form barriers are broken down.
What? Why do you think he needs to be in someones presence? He's a spirit, he doesn't have a presence. And he's controlled the military of an entire planet, was he in the presence of all of them at the time? But yeah, he was. In his Jedi Master body, multiple times. He wasn't in the presence of the soldiers he dominates at the end of the video either, so obviously it isn't needed. Not that there's a reason a mental domination would require such proximity even speculatively. And as a spirit, there's nothing stopping him from simply getting closer to her if that's a factor.
The Sith Emperor does have a presence, we see it leaving Yavin 4, and that presence needs an anchor, I expect the Emperor was capable of traversing the galaxy for a short while, but eventually he'd need somewhere for his spirit to be housed, and perhaps hand the assistance of the Emperor's Hand in his "escape".
Selenial said something about a Temple, so expect upon arriving on Ziost, his presence was housed their, or somewhere on the planet, and it is there he is projecting himself. So yes, I would argue proximity is the issue here, so its not proof he's weaker than his corporeal form, which again never possessed anyone from a far.
