all this various force powers stuff is bunk. All force users have telekenetic ability - using that basic ability, you can do practically anything. Move ships, grab lightsabres, jump high, run fast and squeeze throats..... oh yes. The "dark" side is akin to misuse - using your abilities for ill gain, power etc etc....

The dark side is a part of the Force, canonically growing in strength by the time of AOTC. Lightning, as an example, is a dark side power no matter what you use it for.

There's actually a YODA WAS A SITH thread that's currently not locked.

If someone has gumption enough, please start a LUKE SKYWALKER WAS A SITH LORD thread.

This scene in question could carry it for a page or two ...

Ya know, I always used to shook my head when I heard that notion ...

But it seems more and more .... JCF can make the impossible come true if you stick with it long enough.

The JFC is a passageway to many abilities some consider unnatural.

Really? Plo Koon didn't feel as such.

Plo Koon's lightning:

Palpatine's Lightning:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_lightning


They're not the same by any means; Plo's is non-lethal, for one thing.

Well, for once, I can't argue with that. wink Might I point out that Qui-Gon possessed the ability to conjure Electric Judgement as well?

I would imagine quite a few of the Master's would need to learn the lightning power. If not only to understand and defend against it, but to also instantly stun opponents or for technical and electrical work.

It's a destructive power no matter who uses it though, and the Master's would accept that risk.

Force lightning is referred to in canon sources as a Sith power, a dark side power, evil lightning, Palpatine's hate, and a corruption of the Force.
