Did Snoke use conventional force lightning?

Didn't look like any kind of FL we've ever seen before, so what do you think? Power he learned in the unknown maybe?

The TLJ Novelization says it was just Force Lightbing. I think Rian Johnson said that Snokes Lightning was meant to be actual Lightning but I've never seen that source.

As mentioned, the novelization describes Snoke's attack as your typical FL:


So I think that was just how Rian Johnson chose to depict the ability.... cuz realism, lol.

That said, the comic book adaption of TLJ also depicts Snoke's FL as it is shown in the film:

...But that's to be expected. /shrug

LMFAO THAT ARTWORK.

It's f*cking atrocious. Usually the artwork in Marvel's SW books is topnotch, but I'm pretty sure they have the janitor's retarded toddler drawing this shit.

It was the same type of force lightning. He simply dropped it on the ground instead and let it get attracted to closest conductor. That conductor, Snoke knew, was Kylo.

Smart lightning.

Zentrex
All lightning is that smart.

Palpatine's lightning killed him. smile

victreebelvictr
and how exactly?

Zentrex
It was being sprayed everywhere and hit all things which were conductors of electricity. The small burst of lightning which Snoke unleashed became attracted to the ONE conductor that strong enough to attract the lightning. Palpatine's lightning was large enough to create have all conductors of electricity in a sphere around it attract some lightning. That caused everything around Sidious (including himself) to get electrocuted.

victreebelvictr
wow, that is intersting, and sidious came back to life as well.

Freedon Nadd
He never died, though. He got defeated and transferred his soul into his loyal hand - Droga. Then, he went on Byss and stored his spirit into a clone body.
