Re-enact StarWars / Yoda vs. Darth Sidious - Warwick Davis is yoda and Ian McDiarmid plays his role. Very funny. StarWars Celebration Europe II - July 2013

[@starkiller8666]

[@whyyyyou]

Yes you're right. It's been 12 years since ROTS came out. However, according to the information right below the video,this event took place in 2013. 2005 to 2013 would make it 8 years since ROTS came out.

I think you're right. He seems like a sweet man and certainly being a trained Shakesperean stage performer, he could be a snob. Yet, he embraces the role, interacts with fans in a great way, reprised his role in last season of Rebels. I'd love to see him voice acting with Sam Witwer or have Witwer voice Maul while Ray Park plays him physically like in Solo. :P

So if force lightning is a dark side power, shouldn't there be like a tickle lightning as a light side power? It doesn't kill or injure, it just causes them to feel real tickly and hence they start laughing uncontrollably. I mean we already see shades of this here, where Palpatine gets so much joy out of shocking someone. So with tickle lightning it's the other way around, where the person being hit by tickle lightning is getting the joy and starts laughing.
