Hold on to your light saber!
It's late and I'm thinking weird things again....I was thinking about how Mace Windu was repelling the electric attacks from Sid in ROTS. Well, Luke gives up his light saber in defiance before Sid starts zapping him. What if Luke had his saber and repelled and defeated Sid like Mace almost did?
Would Vader have joined in and tried to help Sid (even though Vader was handless and saberless at this point, he could still tackle or kick or do something) and let Sid finish the fry-job? Or,
If Luke won, what would he have done with his ol' pop? Kill him to bring balance? What else could he do? It would be either that or stay and get blown up I suppose?

It was symbolism, letting us know that Luke had won his battle against the dark side, that he no longer had a need to fight.

Yeah... but it was also underestimating the Emperor. It always felt a bit premature. Brave, very brave and great symbolism... but premature. Palpy hadn't even come off his chair before.

well, maybe Luke had no idea how to block force lightning. he was, after all, young and inexperienced.

force lightning or not, Luke had to realize that the Emperor wielded great power.

Well, Palpy is deep fried in the end, so it's a moot point.

"Luke, you just took out my second in command, you spat in my face, you totally dissed me........Have a nice day, though."
