Yes he can. That's just Luke blabbing nonsense.

It does. Vima-Da-Booda says she was using Battle Meditation to aid her brother in defeating the Emperor. I imagine that's what it is referring to, given what they do afterwards is a Force Bond/Harmony thing.
So like I claimed, it does not as no time frame is given. Considering she uses BM immediately after Vima mentions it to knock Palpatine on his ass, I'm not inclined to agree. The comics use of BM is far more flexible then usual.

Do you have anything to support your statement that he wasn't in control of his Storm other than baseless speculation? The rule is that Palpatine can control his storms, and there's no reason to believe that Storm was an exception to the rule, especially when it did exactly what Palpatine wanted it to.

well, there's luke saying he wasn't able to control this one, and then there's this being his last resort rather than something he's doing right off the bat
Luke's statement was based off of a scripture Palpatine wrote prior to Return of the Jedi, where he states he can't control Storms at all, so in other words, Luke's information is outdated, as is rather apparent from the fact that Palpatine himself states he can control them, an objective statement says he can control them, and the Storm in question did exactly what Palpatine wanted it to do (until his connection to it was severed).
Palpatine had plenty of Force abilities he could've used to annihilate Luke and Leia before unleashing a Storm, yet didn't, so it's far from being a "last resort". What even is this argument?

There's no other time she could've used Battle Meditation. What they did after the fight is confirmed to be Force Harmony. She could've only used Battle Meditation during the fight.
