At the end when palpatines lightning was being reflected back at him and cooked him, why didnt he just stop shooting it? Didnt he learn from the first time he had that exact same problem vs mace Windu? I mean he had plenty of time to stop while it was being reflected.

The circuit was complete. You can't just turn it off after that.

I figured he lost control while being shocked. Same way people irl can't control their bodies while shocked. Figured he just kind of got locked into it.

Lost control

And if you look closely he does stop firing towards the very end but Rey's still reflecting shit back at him.

Don't forget he didn't stop in RotJ either.

Maybe lightning takes some serious discipline to turn on and off. Maybe it's truly a risky double-edged sword.

The lightning didn't kill him in RotJ, he didn't need to "turn it off".

one of his first lines in TROS is "I've been dead before"

Being thrown into the core of the Death Star is what killed him. No-one reflected lightning back at him in RotJ.

So why was it ok for Rey to kill him then, and not at the beginning?

Palpatine is a moron. That's the answer. He could have waited 16 hours to broadcast his return to the galaxy and his Final Order fleet would be unstoppable. But he gave the heroes just enough time to fly in as and stop him.

She didn't kill him. His own power consumed him. All she did was protect herself.
