My dude, it makes total sense. No wonder Sheev keeps the Inquisitors all around Ventress level, who was one shot by Dooku; he's just so afraid because he's that weak, the guy that took on Maul and Savage at the same time. Canon Palpatine is a joke. And Vader is a god beaten by angst. It's just the best type of storytelling. Implying anything else makes you a hater, and I can ignore you.
