Talk:Darth Sidious vs. Lord Voldemort/@comment-27131953-20161129151137

This seems about right. Both are extremely powerful and have used the powers of the dark side of whatever magic lies in their world, and both have been malformed because of the amount of darkness they have trained to build up within themselves. But the thing with voldemort is that although he traveled the world and enhanced his dark powers, his speed and reflexes are much slower than users of the force, since Jedi and Sith have to train not just their minds, but their bodies as well in order to become powerful force users, while wizards and witches don't need to be physically fit to use magic. But the biggest weakness Voldemort has is that he needs his wand. With Palpatine, losing his lightsaber might be an annoyance or a disadvantage for him, but he's still far from defenseless, while voldemort without is wand is significantly weaker, having almost nothing else to defend himself with. So in the end, Palpatine got his wand, and Palpatine wins! I completely agree with this fight, although I was a bit surprised Voldemort lasted that long.
