Palpatine can't be seen by human eyes. Considering the distance, this puts him at Mach 5 at best. Lightspeed is Mach 1.000.000, just as a frame of reference.

And just because droid brains are capable of processing information at lightspeed does not mean that their vehicles are capable of reacting at that speed, nor that their information processing is superior to Anakin's Force-based intuition. Various human pilots in Star Wars have outdone droid ships, doesn't mean they have FTL reactions.

Blasters are about speed-of-sound. So deflecting that many of them is a Mach 10 feat, maximum. And that's ignoring precog. With precog it's just a Mach 2 or 3 feat, logically speaking. Again not even mildly close to lightspeed.

I'm a huge fan of the EU my friend, but we're talking a confirmed planet buster here. Even Palpatine's Force Storms don't have enough energy to do that kind of shit.

What is Force-Augmented senses? Not even that could make Anakin sense the exact location of Palpatine as he tried to kill Windu. The only reason why Windu didn't die instantly like the other Jedi with him was because of Vapaad redirecting Sidious' hate and darkside energy back towards him and that he was planning on converting Anakin to his side the moment he realized he had come.

Also, Jedi pilots routinely dodge and react to turbolaser and laser cannon fire, which have much, much faster bolts than handheld blaster weapons. Fast enough to go from orbit to surface within a handful seconds. And again, Palpatine is far superior to them.

Also, regarding TK/TP, Palpatine is far superior; Kaguya did her trick with millions, Sidious did his mindfuck with billions to trillions of sentient beings as he was able to keep everyone, [i]everyone[/i] in Coruscant hypnotized for many months to a few years give or take into thinking that the Lusankya wasn't actually being constructed on its surface. Not to mention what he had done to Byss, turning it and his inhabitants into a massive farm of life-force for him to drain at his leisure all while the poor victims were blissfully, subtly wasting away without a care in the world.
