    TTT - DFR, p-287.

    "Still laughing, C'baoth raused his hand and sent a flash of blue lightning toward them.
    Skywalker caught the bold on the blade of his lightsaber, and for an instant the green of the blade was surrounded by a blue-white coronal discharge."


    Sound in any way familliar? I don't know if its been picked up on before, but hey, i'm sure it'll still have purists pulling their hair out :D

    It's certainly synchronous with the latest film, right down to the aural description; dunno if Lucas directly used the passage, though.

    He doesn't read it.

    It only makes sense that energy absorbs energy.

    He doesn't read it.

    he does, actually, or at least some of it. he was a big fan of Dark Empire especially - not only read it but handed out copies as Xmas gifts and recommeneded it to all his friends. whether or not he read TTT specifically is another story...

    Um, that is a normal thing to do. When someone streams lightning at you, and you have a lit blade in your appendage, you use it to block.

    Nothing uncommendable about that.

    IIRC, Luke actually deflected some of Palpy's lightning in the RotJ novel.

    Let's not forget that the name of Coruscant is Tim Zahn's, IIRC. Purists be damned.

    TTT - DFR, p-287.


    Do you have the hardcover? Cause I have the paperback of DFR and the quote you posted doesn't appear on 287 in my copy, but rather 309.

    IIRC, Luke actually deflected some of Palpy's lightning in the RotJ novel.


    Not with his lightsaber he didn't. He did so with the Force, something Yoda appears to do in AotC. Return of the Jedi novelization, chapter 8, pages 159-160:

    He hurled his lightsaber away. "Never! Never will I turn to the dark side! You have failed, Palpatine. I am a Jedi, as my father was before me."

    The Emperor's glee turned to a sullen rage. "So be it, Jedi. If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed."

    Palaptine raised his spidery arms to Luke: blinding white bolts of energy corsucated from his fingers, shot across the room like sorcerous lightning, and tore through the boy's insides, looking for ground. The young Jedi was at once confounded and in agony -- he'd never heard of such a power, such corruption of the Force, let alone experinced it.

    But if it was Force-generated, it could be Force-repelled. Luke raised his arms to deflect the bolts. Initially, he was successful -- the lightning rebounded from his touch, harmlessly into the walls. Soon, though, the shocks came with such speed and power, they coursed over and into him, and he could only shrink before them, convulsed with pain, his knees buckling, jis powers at ebb.
