I'd say he probably didn't need to use them.

Plus he'd been exposed by then as Darth Sidious etc, so it would have been very hard to do powerful strokes of subtlety. Better to just crush the rebels with his unleahed might.

Plus death probably screwed him up. Being a disembodied spirit sucks donkey balls.

Are you telling me what to do ??

Nah seriously, I think Sidious should have stayed dead at the hands of Vader.

Indeed. His genius was tempered with critical moments of batshit insanity.

According to the Core Rulebook, Palpatine’s Sith alter ego, Darth Sidious, had been “plotting the destruction of the Jedi for decades” by the time of the events of the Phantom Menace, which would suggest—though not require—that Palpatine ascended to Sith Mastery at the age of 30.

^ I don't follow.
Really.

Simple math, you whore.

Palpatine was born in 82 BBY. TPM takes place in 32 BBY. Palpatine = 30 (or 29).

If he had been plotting the destruction of the Jedi for decades (plural), the least possible amount of time he could have been plotting was twenty years.

50 - 20 = 30.

[topic]Would he have needed to ascend to the rank of master to "begin" plotting? After all, the Sith had been laying out their plans for galactic domination since Bane came to power.[/topic]

Not at all. But there would have been more immediate hurdles there, such as training and the removal of his Master.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Any contributions made by Palpatine's predecessors would have been largely negligible.

Positive. He is, after all, the best at pretty much everything in the mythos.

That's what this essay did. He's a better strategist than Darth Revan, a better manipulator than Darth Traya, more charismatic than Count Dooku, more feared than Marka Ragnos, more powerful than Luke Skywalker, and just as important to the Force as Anakin Skywalker.

Since my word became law [with the great Ushgarak's blessing] years ago.

It's all true, too.

quote:
Being feared in itself isn't a component of personal value, it's a product and reflexion of it.


When people like General Grievous, Darth Vader, and Count Dooku are terrified of you, you know you've accomplished something.

quote:
Claiming that he is just as important to the Force as Anakin doesn't suggest superiority. And out of curiosity, where'd you get that one from?


I said he was the best at "pretty much everything." When your influence and presence is more or less equal to the person born to restore balance to the Force, you know you're awesome.

As far as the Force is concerned, Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker are the end all be all.
