I'm gonna legit report Skillz one day for derailing all of my threads.
Originally posted by AzrongerYeah, my point is that with these factors considered, the magnitude of his growth in power becomes less unknown and more quantifiable, even though it is still not as coherently displayed as a depiction such as Anakin's growth in saber fights between AOTC and ROTS through his performance in two duels against Dooku. I understand that with your logic, it is harder to defend his ROTJ-DE growth than his growth between TPM and EoTPM, but that doesn't automatically mean that the latter is more significant imo.
I would be, except I haven't found that much evidence for the gaps between EoTPM and RotS, and RotS and RotJ. I am an advocate of there being a humongous gap between BoTPM and EoTPM, though.You made fair points, and then there's Luke's own musings about Palpatine's increased power, which do paint a nice picture of him growing quite a bit. But as we have both said, the gap is ultimately unquantifiable aside from being somewhat significant, and we are back at square one.
As for Force Storms, Palpatine doesn't need to summon fleet or planet busters in single combat, so him not having attained perfect control of those is kind of irrelevant. Miniature Storms will do just fine.Good point, but I've never seen the storm applied in combat in the first place, and I assumed mastery over the ability would be more helpful with things like using it in combat than simply summoning larger storms, given the fact that it should be much harder to summon and direct a storm against individual targets during combat.
But I guess there's Teleportation, which RotJ Sidious used to have but it was retconned.Can you pm me where he uses teleportation in DE?
Edit: Oh, nvm. I get what you are referring to.
Not that he needs to teleport anyway, since he's basically immortal and invulnerable anyway 🙂True 🙂
