The Ultimate Palpatine Essay

I will dissect this essay in this week hopefully.

I agree with Palpatine being above all other Sith and Valkorian. As for this ultimate essay, I'll probably give it an A* for effort, but a C+/B- for assessment. My main problem is that dragged on for so long, there's too much to read and Palpatine's advantages over Viagara is overemphasised and you've made it sound even more one sided than they're already are.

😐

Not sure how it being "too long" is a valid criticism, tbh. It's purpose was to be an in-depth analysis and that is apprent from the title itself.

It wasn't really a valid criticism, yeah. It was just a complaint.

You kind of destroyed Valkorian in this thread, lol...

Perhaps my comments on persistence could be equally applied to Azronger here. 🙂

What were comments were those? 🙂

That I can sometimes be overly persistent. It's not necessarily a bad thing, though.

I usually get tired very quickly if my opponent is failing to grasp the point. I should learn to be as persistent as you. It's an admirable trait, tbh.

This is a new level of fanboying.

Legend, I am awaiting ur response

Anytime soon, LeG? 🙂

This was pretty good, but needless to say, they are some notable chinks in the armor of this essay.

Thanks

Legend never made a response, did he?

Not every piece of evidence Az presented is ironclad, some of it is implied or suggested evidence. So you can nitpick those, though you cannot deny that they add to the overall image of Palpatine that Az is attempting to create.

When you simply look at the ironclad evidence Az displayed and described, it's abundantly clear that Sidious is operating at a level beyond just about everyone else. Certainly Valkorion. Even forget the "most powerful Dark Sider" quotes, he doesn't need them. Sidious has done things casually that Valkorion spent hundreds of years busting his ass to fail at replicating... that's the ultimate difference between them. Sidious accomplished far more in far less time, and if he wasn't being rivalled by the Skywalkers - walking plot devices - chances are, he would have accomplished all of his endeavours.

Yeah, anything as big as this will have something to nitpick. For what it is it's a very solid piece.

On the whole, though, I think it's pretty obvious that Sheev > all other Sith and Valkorion. 🙂

Nope. Let's see if Harr and Skillz live up to the challenge.

Thanks for the compliments, both of you

this thread is epic yea, most comprehensive respect thread I've ever seen. And yea, it's blatantly obvious who's the big bad dude of the mythos.

There are some nitpicks here and there, but nothing significant.
