Jedi Sheev Palpatine speculation

How powerful would he be if trained from birth in the temple?

DE Sidious level.

not as strong, Sidious gains his strength from the Dark Side which IMO is definitely stronger than the light side, despite what Yoda thinks

DE Sidious level.

Reasoning: He would have fallen to the dark side and become DE Sidious anyways.

Yeah, the only difference might be that he wouldn't have been able to plot behind the scenes like he did in the actual timeline, so I don't think he would've been successful.

He would be Plaugeis level. DE was the result of his re-births, rituals, etc. Also, the dark side isn't stronger, just easier and more seductive. Its a lot easier to scarf down chocolate cake then eat a celery stick.

Granted, he would've started training from birth according to the OP, possibly under Yoda's tutelage given his potential, and his body wouldn't have decayed so much in his later years. If his evil personality were magically replaced, he could end up becoming the most powerful Jedi of all time, or potentially second to Yoda.

Dark-side is more powerful but is self-destructive to all but a few. Slow and steady vs fast and furious

Nice profile pic btw.

I don't think he would've reached his DE level of power as a Jedi, since the Jedi way isn't as driven towards an obsessive pursuit of power, and since he wouldn't inherit the Banite archives or be trained by Plagueis.

It would've been funny if Plagueis trained Venamis, who trained Maul, who encounters Jedi Palpatine on Naboo.
