Are we really supposed to believe that he couldn't survive shocking himself with his own force lightning? .... again!?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I want the next trilogy to be solely comprised of clones of characters from the first three. It will be like an "All-Star" season of a reality show.

I'd really like to discuss why whenever his lightning gets reflected back on him, he keeps using it while it's hitting him in the face.Anders wrote:Could he be cloned again? Possibly.B wrote:OK.

I guess in ROTS he was framing the Jedi for an attack, but in TROS, he literally blew himself up.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker
Attack is the best defence, and Palpatine can’t imagine not winning through with his attacking power. This is typical for the sith in Star Wars, and for Kylo Ren in TLJ.B wrote:I'd really like to discuss why whenever his lightning gets reflected back on him, he keeps using it while it's hitting him in the face.Anders wrote:Could he be cloned again?

There are a lot of ways to look at it. But I don't think B is interested that.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker
I reserve the right to TL;DL you, but what's the explanation for:
Emperor shoots lightning at Rey.
She manages to reflect it back into his face.
He does not stop shooting lightning, even for a second to rethink his strategy.
