And in this one, Yoda is catching his lightning or blocking it. It's not actively hitting him in the face as he shoots it.

In every single one he goes for the ultimate power attack, but ends up losing because of it.

This is edited weird, so I had to watch it on Disney+. He's shooting at Rey, and she pushes some back and it hits him in the face, starts peeling off his skin, and in stead of, "oh, ow that hurt, let me pause and try aiming lower." He just keeps generating the lightning right back into his own face.

Actually, it worked against Yoda. He got thrown back, but Yoda lost the battle at that point.

It certainly worked better than in the others. Yoda was clearly tired at the end.

This also brings up another point. Has Force lightning ever won a fight? Why are the Sith so proud of it?

Only after his hands were gone.

Either only because of Anakin, or Palpatine is a good actor.

Just one. Luke won with just one hand. Vader won with just one hand.

Oh, Palpatine was feigning weakness, for sure. Just icing on the cake to lure Anakin in.

I think we’re all missing the point. He wants Rey to kill him.

He says as much.

He’s very likely hoping he can jump into her body and posses it upon death.

It’s exactly the plan he had for Luke on the Death Star too.

Aaaaand there’s your new trilogy. Rey possessed by palpatine taking over the galaxy

Nah. Once the Diad power becomes clear, he no longer wants Rey to kill him.

He wants an unbroken vessel. He thinks that's Rey. Once he regenerates, he realizes he doesn't need Rey. She can die and he doesn't need a new vessel.
