The same way he does with Talzin, only with more difficulty 🙂

using his lightsaber, tking him with objects, redirecting his lightning, using a more powerful version of the batttle mediation leia used on a weakened de sidious

Talzin isn't incorporeal here, so not sure why you're bringing that up. Besides, Dark Side Sourcebook notes that to kill a dark side spirit you just need lots of light side energy, which Luke - being the most powerful Force user and all that - has plenty:

And just because Sidious may not have succeeded in killing Talzin doesn't mean Luke won't be able to, as he is far more powerful than Sidious is.

She can dissipate into an incorporeal form faster than Grievous can swing a Lightsaber, with no apparent limitations. Surrendering her physical form does not make her a spirit, either, at least not in the conventional sense as she's free to reform at will, and travel. I'd suggest you familiarise yourself with the character....

Studious wouldn't succeed because she's literally impossible to kill in open combat without an anchor like Maul tying her down.

Luke can deflect Talzin's lightning with his lightsaber and teleport around the battlefield. Talzin can't run away because of that and he can slaughter her anytime in CQC.

Not seeing how she has any chance.


She can also teleport, and yes he can deflect her lightning, but good luck being overwhelmingly successful at that while Windu and Yoda are on your tail.

Valk stops him

Luke is a lot faster than Grievous, so that doesn't mean she could evade Luke like that. And she was tagged by Sidious' lightning, so she clearly has limits.

Given that, while massively weakened and pre-prime, Luke could destroy dozens of the Emperor's clones faster than Palpatine's essence can travel (note that Palpatine's essence is omnipresent) to inhabit one clone, I don't see what Talzin has to suggest she could dissipate before Luke lands a hit. I could honestly see Luke speedblitzing Talzin.

Not sure what you mean here. She was at full power and Grievous could kill her just fine. Or is there some connection between her and Maul that I'm not aware of?

Regardless, this sounds suspiciously like a no-limits fallacy.

Yoda and Windu aren't on his tail when 30 seconds haven't passed. Talzin's only option is to flee the battlefield, and even that won't work since Luke can follow her wherever she goes with his own teleportation abilities.

"palpatine's essenc eis omnipresent"
What?
And then how the f is luke moving faster than something thats omnipresent?

Sidious can shrug off all of that no difficulty.

using a more powerful version of the batttle mediation leia used on a weakened de sidious

That was a Wall of Light, not Battle Meditation. And Sidious had literally poured 99% of his power into a Force Storm, so he was hardly in a position to defend himself.

Omnipresent in the context that he's everywhere in the same room:

Palpatine:_Very well, then I must die! (laughs)

Luke:_He's vanished!

Palpatine:_Vanished, Skywalker? I exist as energy, remember? I am all around you! Here! And here! And here! And here!

–Dark Empire Audio Drama

Because Luke Skywalker is, well, Luke Skywalker. I don't see how that requires further explanation.

I was referring to dark empire 2. granted that was a weakened palp but pre prime leia is well elow gm luke as a force user

Also yeas, de being omnipresent and being slower than luke would require luke bending with fcking time or something

Luke and Palpatine do not make contact in DE 2, except via TP. Not sure what you mean.

All the more reason why Talzin isn't reacting to Luke 🙂

1. Referring to leia who is vastly below gm luke as of de(and likely even as of her prime)
2. I really don't see why a weakened unanachored form of talzin would matter anyway here

Saying Luke is faster than omnipresence gave me cancer.

This gave me 2 cancers 🙂

I used to, but not anymore. I just have 0 respect for him. The best player shouldn't be flopping all the f-ucking time.

Fair enough, though many a superstar flops these days, (and even back then, too).

Still rooting for him against the Warriors, though.

Debunk it, then 🙂

The statement is contradictory in and of itself. There goes that "argument."

Maybe, but not this much and not this blatantly. As far as I saw anyway. Talking about GOATs here, like top20 or so.

Sorry, but Palpatine was everywhere at once, and he managed to possess only one clone in the same time Luke had destroyed all the rest. That literally happened.
