Veitch and the DE endnotes said Palpatine was prepared to die from that confrontation with the implication being he actually wanted to die so he could conquer death.
__________________ "Vader's pulse and breathing were machine-regulated, so they could not quicken; but something in his chest became more electric around his meetings with the Emperor; he could not say how. A feeling of fullness, of power, of dark and demon mastery -- of secret lusts, unrestrained passion, wild submission -- all these things were in Vader's heart as he neared his Emperor. These things and more."
Opinion of Jedi Brand. He defeated Palpatine in a contest of wills, but Jedi are known to be humble in their views.
NO-FEAT.
Context please?
True; during the course of DE. This is Palpatine's greatest ability due to which I see him as TOP-TIER material.
Palpatine broke Luke Skywalker after defeating in single combat. Luke was in a state of despair at the time.
Palpatine and Darth Plagueis managed this with collaboration in a ritual which lasted months. Prior to this, earlier Bannite Sith played their part in undermining the Jedi Order.
Palpatine cannot be exclusively credited for this achievement.
Here:
The idea that a hundred-square-kilometer area of the planet could have been razed and rebuilt to hide a Super Star Destroyer seemed beyond belief, especially with no one noticing the ship's insertion into the hole. Could the Emperor's power through the dark side of the Force have been sufficient to compel thousands or millions of people to forget having seen the Lusankya being buried? As hideous as that idea seemed, Wedge hoped it was the truth. The likely alternative—that the Emperor had ordered the deaths of all the witnesses—seemed that much more horrible.
Taken from X-Wing: Krytos Trap
Palpatine might have personally supervised this development and extended his support with his telepathic and telekinetic abilities but Imperial engineers were also involved:
Now director of the Imperial Intelligence, Ysanne worked to demonstrate the usefulness of her office to the only person that mattered—the Emperor. Impressed with her suggestion to build a combination internment center and brainwashing facility, Palpatine gave her the Super Star DesteroyerExecutor from the Kuat shipyards—a twin to Vader’s Executor from Fondor. She renamed the vessel Lusankya, and, with help from the Emperor’s mind-fogging powers, Imperial engineers buried the tremendous battleship beneath the cityscape in Coruscant’s Manarai Mountain district.
Taken from The New Essential Guide to Characters
No case of Palpatine influencing billions, in this case. This is the problem with Sheevites; YOU tend to exaggerate Palpatine's normally impressive feats beyond measure.
Palpatine had transformed Byss into a major focal point of Dark Side energy for personal benefit over time with relevant experiments, structures, and with aid of his Dark Side adepts who were permanently stationed there. Due to this factor, Palpatine was able to influence the entire populace of this planet.
True.
True.
True.
Metaphore.
Mace Windu's perception. Although each have hype outside but these type of judgments can be subjective.
You're the only one who is worth of my attention and the one who shall not be named.

Not really. He merely mused how would the empire be without him. He didn't want to die.

Yes, because Dark Side spirits brought him back once and the Jedi didn't want Palps to return. So Brand took him in the "heaven" of the Netherworld of The Force where the other Jedi spirits would make sure he never returns(especially if some were to use a ritual to summon him in the real world)
I don't see much of a difference between Dark Empire Palpatine and pre-Dark Empire Palpatine. Exception only being knowledge-wise.
That's because of his Force storms.
Yes, all because of a combination of him being a dark side nexus and the nexi around him(such as Byss and his Eclipses)
He never mind-dominated Luke Skywalker. He just showed him a dream. And Luke wasn't really seduced by Palpatine. He was just trying to destroy Palpatine from within.
It was a ritual. It lasted quite enough. And he did it with Plagueis' help.
Billions of non-sensitives?
Not only him. He did it with his Dark Side Adepts.
Oneness moments vary one from another. Depends of a Force user's connection. If that says something, Vitiate tanked an Oneness attack from Revan.
By performing daily rituals - accompanied by the imbalance in The Force and Sith ghosts.
With the help from Sith ghosts by using that huge Sith crystal that appeared in Sithisis.
Metaphor. Lightsabres cannot bend.
Because he blinded their senses with the Force.
He is their superior in the Force.
Overexaggeration on author's part. When this statement was written, the Star Wars field was still "fresh".
Valkorion's knowledge did not exist when this statement was published.

Yeah and Ulic Qel-Droma never even fell to the Dark Side, he just went there to destroy it from within. Then he saw Marka Ragnos in a dream but he was still a good guy the whole time, really!
1. His master died
2. He got injected with some poison that messed up with his brain
You apparently forget that Ulic was also a boastful kind of guy too.
Stop making a circus out of you.
