We have no evidence Plagusis wasent able to do what Palpy said just his word witch is unreliable but all we have to go on.
Are we violating logic again? Tsk, tsk, tsk. I thought we went over this a dozen times in elementary school.

Yoda implies that the Force would let them know when it was time to take back what was theirs as well as implied throughout the series that the Will of the Force was guiding everyone including Anakin and Palpatine. Hardly a simple energy field when one looks at it that way.
I would think the Force would be physically unapproachable, in terms of mechanical descriptions, and instead, the only way to approach it is through interpretations. One person interprets it as a 'living will', in order to better understand it for him, when in fact no one can tell if the Force is alive persay. Others may see it rather as an energy field, not conscious, but still in motion.
Either way, it leads to the desired results, so anyone's interpretation could be correct. I think that's how Qui-Gonn can invoke a "living Force", while Obi-Wan, 20 years later, can say "energy field" with a straight face: it gets the job done, so everybody's okay with everybody else's interpretation.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.
