Emperor Palpatine vs. Lord Voldemort

Ah, but is Voldemort not also a very accomplished Occlumens? Surely he'd be able to block his mind to Palpatine's probing.

Good point, actually.

It's up to yanking the wand out of Voldie's hand then. He's kinda helpless without it.

Accio Wand!

We've seen in books how hard a wizard can hold on to their wand (and other objects) even when it's being pulled out their hand with some force. Which would make it very hard for it to be just yanked out of the hand. Add to that the fact that whilst he still holds the wand, Voldemort can cast a spell to disable Palpatine and interrupt him mid flow.

Indeed, Voldemort could then Accio Palpie's Lightsaber and take away his main hand-to-hand weapon.

The disarming charm has ALWAYS disarmed a person. It also seems to knock them off their feet most times.

The summoning charm Bellatrix used on Harry to get the Prophecy were never completed... She started but was cut off and he just barely managed to cling onto it then.

Uh...no one in HP is exactly above-average in athletic speeds. They certainly aren't doing Yoda moves. Yet Harry and the rest can dodge spells. You're telling me Palpatine won't be able to get around most anything Voldie casts?

While he's doing that...he's getting turned to extra-crispy wizard by Palpatine's Force lightning.

Ah! But Palpatine isn't waving a wand and shouting Expelliamus is he?

If the spells don't hit him, but force him to lose concentration and dodge, then they've helped a bit, haven't they? There's nothing in the rules that states a spell must be cast to hurt the person directly. In the books we've also heard of great things happening to the weather, and bridges collapsing and what not. Don't forget also the big explosions that have been caused by 'lesser' magicians (Wormtail particularly). Voldemort will be at least that powerful, and a lot more - with that power he should be able to cast large blanket spells that affect quite an area. How can Palpatine dodge something that's spread out over a large area and coming straight at him?
