Since Snoke is the new Palpatine, will he able to cast Force lightning even though he isn't a Sith

Yes, he most likely will be able to use force lightening.

Why do so many people want to see the same stuff all over. I hope he has some new trick.

Isn't Force Lightning some high end Sith power? Palpatine was one of the only darksiders I've seen use it.

Jugg,Dooku was also able to use it.

Yep, forgot Dooku uses it quite often.

Even Yoda knew how to handle it.

new tricks would be great, but you cant have dark jedi without force lightning. that's like waffles with no maple syrup.

Wasn't that the point of TFA? Same old, same old..

I'd like to see Force Drain for the first time in a movie instead of FL.

Kenobi and Mace blocked it with their sabers...

Yoda used Force Absorption with his bare hands - or whatever you'd like to call it - and was able not only to absorb FL, but to redirect it back at the opponent, too.

Now that I think about it didn't Dooku redirect it also?

It did appear that Yoda absorb the Force lightning though and almost looked like he actually projected his own.

Yes, he did. After Yoda redirected it back at him, Dooku deflected it so it hit the wall or something.

Dooku was really uber.

This is important because Snoke is a dark side user--he simply doesn't identify strictly as Sith, is all. That said, as long as he's strong enough with the force/dark side, FL should certainly be within his ability to manifest. It is, after all, a dark side ability.

Yep, Inquisitors are not Sith but are powerful in the ways of the darkside.

Your inability to handle criticisms of this movie after spending years insulting the prequels and Lucas himself is just laughable at this point.

Don't expect me to reply every time you harass me btw. Because it's getting kind of creepy tbh. LOL Funny, but Creepy.

I think so, its too iconic a Force power to not include. However I agree with Queeq that is would be nice to see something new.

A Force drain talent would be nice, and maybe midicholrian manipulation healing talents if he's Plagueis.

Whatever... I think Force Lightning has been overused in the saga already.

The same could be said of telekinesis, or lightsabers...

Exactly, it's a standard power. The only difference is it's one only used by Darksiders.

You like the Plageuis theory?

He's not palpatine.....

Maybe he can make himself invisible by putting on the ring......

No! Darth Tyranus used it too.

It really wouldn't feel like Star Wars without lightsabers.

Would anyone else like to see him use red force lightening as a change from purple/blue?

Uhh.... no.

Well, yes lightsabers is SW, but overusing them is a bit sad. It loses its effect, ya know, the Law of Diminishing Returns...

Red Force Lightning is Force Drain.

Well, that is true. Yet... it has been used three times. Just like they destroyed a Death Star three times... I don't need to see that again, either.

Yes, let's hope the Starkiller base is not partially rebuilt with a ground energy shield in episode 9. Han ain't around to destroy it....
