New God tier Telepathy feat for Darth Sidious (DE)

In place of the Empire and the New Republic, Palpatine planned to bring about a new form of galactic governance. He would use the dark side to control everything and everyone in the galaxy.What's more, he was capable of it.

--Official Starships and Vehicle Collection #64

The known galaxy includes nearly a billion inhabited star systems, from uncharted settlements set up by smugglers to megapolis worlds where scarcely a meter of untouched ground remains. Nearly seventy million of those star systems were sufficiently populated for representation of some sort in the Galactic Empire, a vast bureucracy responsible for the affairs of more than one hundred quadrillion beings.

Suck it, Valkorion

😂

Beautiful

lol

😑

Going to go out on a limb here and say that the quote isn't actually saying Palpatine can telepathically control the entire galaxy, rofl.

How so?

Because if he could, he wouldn't have needed to manipulate, deceive and lie his way to political power. 🙂

EDIT - Nvm, didn't read the DE part.

The quote is referring to his plans post-RotJ, emphasis on "The New Republic."

Yep, I edited.

Again, so why is it apparently so obvious that Palpatine can't TP the galaxy? The quote is quite straightforward in its meaning.

Still, if he could telepathically control literally every sentient being in the galaxy, he would've been unstoppable and he would've succeeded on virtually all of his endeavors. As we all know, in the end, he wasn't and he didn't.

Argument from ignorance. Simply because he didn't doesn't mean he can't. And based on this quote, he clearly can.

Why didn't he use his vast telepathic powers to convince Leia Solo to hand over her child to him?

Because Skywalkers.

This was in reference to the DE endnotes where his final plan was to turn the entire Galaxy akin to the DS nexus on Byss, which everyone in the galaxy basically feeds him their force energies and what not and planned to rule other Galaxies.

I don't know, nor do I need to for this quote to be valid.

Quote? It's been stated several times his final plane was to become omnipotent and rule the universe.

Anyway, the quote still stands.

Not really. He based the Dark Empire on the principle that it would "follow the Dark Side's will." He intended to take over the galaxy and, since the galaxy's population would be under rule of the Dark Empire, every being would have to follow the will of the Dark Side, and the quote could be interpreted to mean that his goals were achievable (which they clearly were, if the Skywalkers hadn't been a factor). Admittedly stretching here, but it seems extremely unlikely he would not use this power if he was capable of it. It would've meant he didn't even need to use the galaxy gun on Da Soocha, he could've casually dominated the planes population. He also could've easily dominated Luke and Leia since they had nowhere near the training or feats necessary to imply they could handle TP strong enough to slave the entire galaxy.

Hell, it's possible this quote is simply saying he's capable of using a ritual to dominate the galaxy.
