You have a point there. imperialscum, but I think it was overdone a little with the immortal emperor thing. I think the analogy you're pointing out exists anyway, without the power of the bad guys being blown out of proportion. I think the power of Sidious vs. Yoda is a good example of what you mean. Yoda is a powerful Jedi, but Sidious has greater destructive power and uses it to defeat powerful Jedi like Yoda, but he is defeated in the end. The "immortal emperor" was just stepping too far.
