Force Lightining does not affects the blade of a Lightsaber in the manner you presume. It can engulf the entire weapon though and shatter its hilt under the right circumstances, depending upon its intensity. This still qualifies as disintegration of a Lightsaber.
Teneb Kel was wielding a double-bladed Lightsaber at that time. He attempted to contain Exal Kressh's Force Lightning with that Lightsaber but its hilt disintegrated under the pressure.

More importantly, Palpatine never accomplished anything like that.
That was so useless, oh my God. My point is Exal did nothing to the blades, Thanaton was just a numbskull and held the lightsaber in a way that Kressh's lightning could target and damage the hilt.
The blades remain unmoved, whereas Mace's sword is dancing in the wind by getting hit by a holding back Palpatine's lightning.
There's a difference between a metalic shaft, and a conduit of intense plasma energy, you returd. Sheev was beating back the plasma, and Exal the shaft.

There is a major difference in portrayal of action-sequences in a comic and in a movie. In a movie, we witness the entire action-sequence as it unfolds in fluid manner. In a comic, we witness glimpses of an action-sequence.
Your argument is flawed. You have a better idea about how to contain Force Lightning with a shoto?
Palpatine's Force Lightning appears to be making contact with the hilt of Mace Windu's Lightsaber. Pay attention to the gif.

Irrelevant. What we see on panel, right before Thanaton's hilt explodes is that the blades are fine, the lightning just targets the hilt.
Yes, hold it at an angle where the lightning cannot touch the hilt. Teneb was holding it so that the hilt is on the same level as the lightsaber blades of his dual-saber, so it was just as vulnerable to the electric discharge. If he held it properly, ala Kenobi in AotC, Anakin in TCW, and Mace in RotS, the hilt would not have have been damaged.
Not rocket science.
Ah, so not only are you lacking in mental capacity, you need to go to an eye doctor. The lightning only zaps the blade, not the hilt. If it was touching the hilt in any way, Mace's arms would've been burned.
And this is all besides the point. The point is: Palpatine was bending the concentrated plasma energy of the lightsaber, Exal was breaking a metal shaft. Not at all the same thing.
The movie depicts Windu's hilt fluctuating under Palpatine's assault, the novel describes Mace's blade as being bent backward. Inference is simple yeah, and Leg's examples are irrelevant.
Back on topic of Sids vs Valky however. Overpowering the defenses of Yoda and Windu > struggling to overcome the defenses of some scrub Jedi.
On the other hand he managed to take down Revan and Arcann when both failed to erect a defense. In which case Sids still has them beat in KO'ing Yoda and taking out Marek.

You've been watching way too much Jensaarai.
That was retconned:
On Geonosis, Yoda's easy parrying and, indeed, handling of the Sith lightning Dooku hurled at him had come as a surprise.
—Labyrinth of Evil
That's just a good feat for Sidious, not a bad one for Yoda.
Those who argue it are in denial. There's plenty of evidence across multiple sources that point to the fact that Sidious threw the fight.
Sidious wasn't firing it nearly at full intensity, plenty of evidence to support that notion. Only desperate Galen wankers think he did.
Learn to distinguish the hilt from the blade.
Link me to Ant's thread.
But that feat is insignificant compared to Sidious, who overwhelmed the lightsaber-augmented defenses of Yoda, a Jedi more powerful than Revan, who was slapping Vitiate's lightning aside woth ease with his lightsaber-augmented defenses.
The fact that Dooku gave Yoda pause in AotC is just an amazing feat for Dooku(y'know, the same person who can kill Vos and Asajj while mortally wounded with lightning) not a bad showing for Yoda, especially given how Tyranus' lightning has no known limits besides that it isn't on par with Sidious'.

Retconned.
Right...
(please log in to view the image)
Now Anakin was at Mace's shoulder. Palpatine still made no move to defend himself from Skywalker; instead he ramped up the lightning bursting from his hands, bending the fountain of Mace's blade back toward the Korun Master's face.
Palpatine's eyes glowed with power, casting a yellow glare that burned back the rain from around them. "He is a traitor, Anakin. Destroy him."
"You're the chosen one, Anakin," Mace said, his voice going thin with strain. This was beyond Vaapad; he had no strength left to fight against his own blade. "Take him. It's your destiny."
-Revenge of the Sith novel
Lmao.
He never even attempted to; he was too busy having orgasms to pay any attention to Marek.
Unless you can draw some sort of relevant comparison between Valkorion and Talzin, then she is irrelevant.
Lol, those aren't even close to being the same.
You should take Tondemonai's advice and get glasses, or just be a man, swallow your pride, and admit the truth and accept Valkorion's inferiority.
Both the novel and the movie agree that the blade didn't stay straight when Sidious blasted it - that's what matters. The specifics are irrelevant.
Like killing non-Force sensitives in ships?
Even a weakened and holding back Palpatine can match that:
Engines exploded into flame and spit smoke. His Master raised his hands, forming one into a claw emitting jagged bolts of Force lightning that connected him for a moment to the ship. Vader imagined the interior of the craft lit up with the bolts of his Master’s power, the pilots screaming and writhing in pain as the dark side seared their flesh.
That is my observation. However, different people can come to the same conclusion.
That revelation represents Count Dooku's perception of the event in question.
The revelation in the Episode II novelization represents Yoda's experience during the ordeal.
Try to understand the context behind each revelation.
Of-course, it is a good feat for Palpatine. However, what was my argument?
My argument is that Yoda was slow at bringing his raw power to bear in a confrontation; his age had caught up with him during the era of Anakin Skywalker.
Another factor is that it is really difficult for even the strongest Jedi to deflect Force Lightning with bare hands.
You will notice genuine contradiction in this matter even in official works. For example:
Palpatine killed Master Windu's companions, who soon gained the upperhand. Just as Windu seemed ready to slay Palpatine, Anakin Skywalker intervened and cut off Windu's lightsaber hand.
Taken from The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia
So?
I would like to see this evidence.
Exal Kressh's Force Lightning engulfed Teneb Kel's Lightsaber and shattered its hilt, destroying the Lightsaber in this manner.
Good enough?
Request DarthAnt66 for that. I am not able to locate it at the moment.
Insignificant?
Overwhelming Lightsaber-augmented defenses of 4 powerful Jedi is more tedious task than disarming a single subject. Vitiate had to overcome energy-absorption potential of several Lightsabers while doing so. No rocket science in this.
Revan managed to deflect single bolts at a time. Not the Force Storm.
Yoda might be stronger but Revan was more masterful.
