Ugh, thank you all for reminding me how much I hate retconning dead characters back to life. First the emperor and the overrated Bobba Fett and now Maul. And now the last one is Canon because of an awful cartoon? Seriously am I the only one who could not make it the the first season because of the slap stick droids that make Jar Jar Binks blush, anger management issues Grevious, and emo Ani?

You did miss a lot of good content. I certainly can't blame you though. Season one was rough , save for a few episodes (Rookies). But that show got really good as it developed.

I definitely agree about the Clone Wars series. The first season or 2 are definitely the lower parts. But it definitely gets better.

The some people are flat out saying Palpatine would have every force power tree mastered, I'm not sure this is the case. He certainly would have foresee, move, battle meditation, sense, influence, enhance, and unleash, and at least part of all the other trees. The one I'm least sure on is harm, which I see as force choke. Do we ever see him force choke anybody, in the books or on screen?

I'm not sure what Lightsaber form Palp was canonically supposed to use, though I've heard some people say Juyo, but I think Niman probably fits him best mechanically.

We do see him Force Choke a pair of Mandalorians and Count Dooku in The Clone Wars

Stating the emperor is kinda like stating a nuclear bomb, you could do it but thiere is not much point in doing it, he should always be waaaaay to powerful for the party to figth and any thing he decied to do the GM can decied at will if he succeds or not.

Going to have to agree to disagree there. If the GM wants Palpatine to be a beatable character just like anything else, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. If the GM is telling a story where the main characters are going to overthrow the Empire instead of Luke and the rest of the OT gang doing it, then I see no reason not to stat Sheev out as just a really tough foe.
