If you get a chance to go to a convention Zahn is at do so. Great guy, best GOH TusCon has had (last year) during my time with the conventions, gives good panel, and his wife Anna is even cooler.

Here's my bold prediction based on nothing but pure speculation - Palpatine really doesn't know that the spirit of a Sith Lord resides within him. That's why (in Return of the Jedi), The Emperor keeps taunting Luke and demanding that he strike him down. Once free of Palpatine's body, the Sith spirit would then inhabit Luke, who's anger and rage has just pushed him over to the dark side.
