Luke Skywalker is arguably the best and most influential character in Star Wars. Unfortunately, Disney didn't respect the character 😕

[@loveblanket6512]

ROLF! Right. A farmboy that went from kid moisture farmer and emo whine fest to destroying a death star using the force in a few hours. He's arguable right there with Jar Jar as the worst in Star Wars. And so much for Padawans needing to be taken from birth to learn the ways of the Jedi. Luke spends a couple days with Yoda as an adult and somehow becomes a Jedi Knight. It's beyond awful, it's unearned in the extreme and he's the original Mary Sue of the series. The only characters dumber are Jar Jar Binks and the idea that the planet of Naboo "democratically" elected a teenage "queen" to rule their world. Anything Star Wars outside of Andor and Rogue One is hot trash with maybe an exception for most of the Mandalorian and the better parts of Empire Strikes Back.

"Hey yo, the emperor shoots lightning from his hands and you can block it with your lightsaber" Come on, they had time to say that.

[@Vyrall3606]

Tutaminis is an extremely difficult technique. It’s not just point your lightsaber at the lightning. You have to use the force to funnel the lightning at the lightsaber, not just block it. And you have to use the force to augment your strength to hold your own. Even Mace Windu with decades of training and skills could just barely squeak by utilizing tutaminis to stop Sidious’s lightning. Luke, force prodigy though he was, couldn’t have learned such a top tier council level skill in the short amount of time he had with Yoda. That’s not what his training with Yoda was about.

[@thenson1Halo]

@@Vyrall3606 Yep. And trying to use it is still a better plan than blocking it with your face. He had to perfect nearly all of his skills alone and "the emperor shoots lightning from his fingers" seems an obvious heads up to give. Because it is. The real reason there was no warning is likely because Lucas hadn't decided it could be done yet since Phantom Menace wasn't written until 1993.

Luke's opinion on Sith Lightning is exactly on point take a look at Palpatine when he's in the Chancellor room after dispatching Mace thr satisfied groan he gives from being able to unleash decades worth of negative emotions onto Jedi without restraint, this act proves that when a Sith uses lightning nothing but their darkest impulses go into an ability that to the Sith has no purpose other than to inflict pain, suffering, or death on a target.

While this is true what you say, Yoda used force reflect or force absorb(something like that) where u can store the power inside and purify it and shoot it back. But I like ur theory better

He basically suffered from heavy metal poisoning during the events of Truce at Bakura. The minerals in his body crystallized from the Force Lightning exposure and he was left sick and weak. It just took a few days to manifest due to his Jedi training granting him some measure of poison resistance.

He wasn’t wheel chair bound for months. The novel ‘Truce at Bakura’ takes place immediately after RotJ and Luke required a hover chair and bacta for a few days. He’s still weakened for a little while afterwards but definitely not wheelchair blind for up to a year. He was fighting right away after RotJ.

I remember reading a prerequisite of learning how to use Sith Lightning is to experience it yourself. You must understand the pain of your body burning alive from the inside out and still desire to inflict that pain on others.

[@Biblioholic1993]

When you use the dark side, you take lifeforce from the universe. You use passion anger and hate, and you hurt the force. And it hurts you back, with the rage and pain of an entire galaxy. The sith are able to defer this to a degree, one, by strictly using the Cosmic force, wherein the scales are vaster than minute to minute, the living dark side of the force is mostly what fallen jedi use whether or not they were cosmic usere in the Light. And two, the sith defer this with apathy and control of rage and greed. They feel it, act on it, use it against the force, but are not consumed, in a way channeling their emotion through themselves into the force without letting it settle overmuch. Not all at once at least. Hate will linger like a flow of swamp slime or magma. But they have success in the short term. Rather than giving emotion to the force like Jedi, Sith stab their anger out into it. Attacking, not surrendering, but pushing out all the same. They are after all a fallen jedi cult to begin with. But more to the point of this video. When you use the dark side sheerly for pain. You are hurting the force, to hurt someone within the force, to remove the life ergo the force, from someone or thing. As seen by Sideous being so quickly disfigured by his own deflected lightning, it can very quickly backfire. Whereas neither Windu nor Luke was outwardly marked that fast, just hurt, the force twisted Palpatine, disfiguted and aged him greatly in the span of minutes. Electric Judgement... it is an interesting thing Legends does honestly. I'm not sure how I feel. But it is energy and intent without viciousness. They are knights, not monks. Protection is the key I think.

[@ghostface4404]

that is why mastering Sith Lightning is so important. we all feel these emotions. such an ability would help us control those emotions.

Another failure of Yoda. First the order and left Luke unprepared. That's how Sidious beat Yoda. You think he would at least tell him he could block it with a lightsaber. Or telling him why he was in exile. A failure by Obi wan for not telling him about Dooku and the force ability.

[@noahblevins9569]

In the book, Luke does use tuteminis to fend off the lightning. He is just overpowered after a bit. The movie really condenses it, and a lot of context/details get lost. Yoda did a good job preparing him with the little time he had. He tried to give over a decade of training in a few weeks.

The out come would be the same even if he knew. Just knowing would not equal the depth of knowledge Sidious had. Also Yoda told him not to go BC he was not ready.

In Empire Strikes Back, Yoda told Luke not to run off to save his friends and face Vader because he wasn’t ready, because he had more to learn to become a Jedi and have a chance against Vader, let alone the Emperor. In Return of the Jedi, Yoda said that Luke had learned all that he needed to know to become a Jedi Knight. The only thing left for Luke to do to actually be a JK was to confront and beat Vader, and only then would he be able to stand a chance against the Emperor. But the Emperor had foreseen that, so Luke would either have join him upon beating Vader or die. The Emperor believed that the boy would become too much of a threat to him to otherwise risk him leaving there alive.

Ben and Yoda forgot to tell Luke to wear a Faraday suit. I was in a Faraday cage once. I never will forget it. The Tesla coil was huge and just a few feet away. It let out bolts as big as Palpatine's. It hit the chicken wire just inches from me. Without the chicken wire, it would have killed me. Even though the cage protected me from danger, it felt weird, though. For the next 24 hours I had weird dreams and visions. It did not feel evil, but such a power could serve evil I suppose. I will admit I always had a fascination for electricity. I had a plasma ball that was electricity you could touch and feel safely. In some forms, it is non lethal and even therapeutic. There are so many different kinds: AC, DC, differing frequencies, different amps, different voltages, etc., and one is surrounded by it all day long. It is the Force. There is a neat trick you can do. Take two magnets and hold one in each hand such as they pull together. Slowly move your hands apart still feeling the pull between them. Focus deeply on that pulling sensation. Pull your hands apart to the absolute limit of your ability to feel the pull. After doing that you will feel energies everywhere. You will feel it emanate out of all your electronic gadgets. You will even feel it in living beings, like your cat for example.

You know, the one funny thing about the Force Lightning is, that I can't recall a single instance of anyone being killed by it in canon. And there were a looooot of instance where it was used. Yet not a single time any named character died to it. Except Master Windu, but he most likely died to a fall. Sidious himself died when still sparkling with the lightning, but it was the fall and the explosion that killed him. And you could say Vader died to it, but does it really count, when he basically only died because it damaged his life support system of a suit that was specifically constructed to be weak to it? From some no longer canon examples, Vader was hit by Force Lightning a lot of times in Force Unleashed. And ridiculous amounts of it as well. Force Lightning was used merely as a torture, not a lethal weapon. And I have never seen in any Star Wars media any character saying anything od the sort that Force Lightning would do any kind of lasting damage to him. Not even psychological. Except again Palpatine himself. But that was likely caused by other factors affecting his body, like the toll of the dark side usage itself.

Me quitting my job today...true story 😅

[@becraftcorey]

Luke was extremely powerful, mostly because he had to be, he learned on the battle field

[@starfleethastanks]

My light side Kotor characters would strongly disagree.

[@tenebrous-merciless.3962]

Rei shot out Force Lightning without any training and suffered no Dark Side degradation. Do it can’t be all that bad right!? 😭😋

[@terrywest111]

I believe that no Force ability can be purely good or purely evil. It just depends on how you use them.

[@BType13X2]

I agree, now come use force lightning to jump start my car.

[@terrywest111]

@@BType13X2 Right with you, man.

[@jessemillan1385]

And the only force ability that can rival Force lightning is Force Judgement.

[@Gor85]

I agree. Luke was completely il-prepared for Force Lightning. It was perversion,abomination,pure evil. It was used for sadism. I think Force Judgement is ok. Plo was right about it. May the Force be with you too always😊

[@phorz85]

What? After leaving n carrying vader in his heavy suit all the way to the shuttle, then being fully ok at the celebration, suddenly after the following day he is wheelchairbound? Who came up with such an idea? That makes not the lest bit of sense.

[@MichaelDerouse]

I don't agree that it's greatest abomination of the Force. Life Drain, which you learn in KOTOR is and almost as bad as that is Force Drain.

[@ZerohSyks]

If Luke was disrespected, they straight up shat on Kyle Katarn.

[@nathanchristman6660]

Imo it's force drain.

[@jamest1242r]

When I seen Palpatine again in Dark Empire, If I was Luke, I would have beat him so badly..smh

[@christophersandidge8257]

Yeah. The Jedi completely failed everyone named "Skywalker." It's like they hated them for no reason.
