Anyone else think the Emperor wasn't going all out at this point in the film? Luke took his lightning for a damn long time.
I still think the Emperor was torturing him at this point in the film... maybe going for long and painful kill? Because realistically a couple seconds of OT Sidious' (probably a step up from ROTS Sids who fried Mace Windu like nothing) lightning should easily kill Luke.

Really? I thought it was more of a military slam, but now that I think about it it does look more like a helicopter slam...or... I forgot what its called...
Hey Anakin got knocked against the wall which made him unconscious, it wasn't the lightning....Mace didn't die of the lightning either but from the big fall. But you would indeed say that the lightning on Mace was stronger since you could even see his skeleton. Either they didn't have the technique to show a skeleton of Luke while making the film (altho they did it on Vader, but he wasn't moving so fast as Luke, makes it easier to animate) or the lightning wasn't as strong on him.

Key word: accidentally. Like when you think you've peeled it all off a baked potato and you haven't. But if you want to see what it feels like to chew on aluminum foil, be my guest. Especially if you have metal fillings or braces! You'll feel just like Luke.

The lightning killed Mace.
"The final blast bodily lifted him into the air, sending his form hurling into the Coruscant skies, to crash lifelessly somewhere in the vast cityscape below." StarWars.com
Perhaps you take that too literally. Such descriptions of deaths have been given to people who died FROM the impact, but are still reported as dropping "lifelessly" to the floor.

If Sid used the lightning as long as he did on skywalker then yeah it would have killed Mace, it also seemed intenser, but I think the fall killed him and even if a Jedi could survive such a fall, his body was too numb from the lightning to rescue himself
