will ani use force lightning?

if you look at Vader's bionics thru freeze frames during the lightning assault in ROTJ, you'll notice that parts of Vader's cervical vertabrae are prosthetic meaning that whatever fall deformed him also broke his neck in the process. By crushing the wind pipes of others, Anakin inflicts on them the same pain that was inflicted on him at his first death.
Another perspective on the issue of preference is that some see no honor in sorcery. as ridiculous as this sounds to a sith, it kinda fits Maul's character.

I agree. I doubt that a sith can cast lightning with a mechanical arm.

cornponious

exactly.

in the game trailer he uses his good arm to launch the lightning, and not his mechnical arm.

maul didn't use sith lightning because he was too much of a noob.

Actually, what killed him was his change back to the light side of the force, thats allready been said long ago. No one can handle the change. the lightning had nothing to do with that. I dont think he'll use it, and i think he helps luke, for one, he knows how that shit feels, and two, he already started getting soft after he started talking to luke,"It is, too late for me.....son"

Now that's bollocks ( 😛 corn)

Vader's suit was f**cked, so he died. The lightning killed his suit. End of story.

yep

no sorry, GL is was the change back to the lightside....END OF STORY...

anakin was always more standoffish, so i think he may use lightning, even before his fall to the dark side but definitely not after his transformation.

lightning is way overused in my opinion. youd think that lucas could think up some new force powers or something. i think that wouldve livened up the PTs a little bit.....along with new lightsaber colors not just purple green blue and red.

GL is constantly backpeddling.

If that was the story when he made the movies, it would have been more clear. As it stands, his suit was ruined and he was gonna die because he turned back to the lightside, confronted the Emperor, and the Emperor f**cked him up.

Lucas finds it hard to stick to ANYTHING. He writes something one minute, changes it the next, 20 years later he edits it again, changes the thing completely and then claims that was his original vision.

I'm sorry but from watching the documentary, it's dman clear Lucas had very little clarity in what he wanted. He never intended Darth Vader to be a mechanical man, that came about because the artist drew him with a breathing mask and the idea CAME FROM THE ARTWORK.

Most of the OT's best bits were concieved AFTER ANH was made. It's so abundantly clear that nobody should take anything Lucas says at face value, because not even HE knows exactly what direction he's going in, he just knows the general story.

As far as Return Of The Jedi goes, Vader died from his injuries. Lucas can claim some other story, but as a movie director, it's a bad thing to mislead the audience into thinking he died from his injuries when it was his redemption that killed him. In a certain point of view, his redemption did kill him, but not so directly as you claim GL says it is.

It's like when Lucas has the excuse of ANH's fight being less impressive, he always says "it's between an old man and a mechanical man". Lucas didn't even come up with fancy sword-fighting until ESB was in production. He MADE THAT UP TO COVER HIS ASS.

"CAME FROM THE ARTWORK."

i love how artists influence the world 🙂

hey youre refering to my sig!

WOOOT!

Exactly. See that pic you have in your siggie? The artist came up with that. Ben Burtt came up with the sound.

George Lucas himself had no input on what Vader would look like.

Because he had no input on what he looked like, or didn't care, then it's clear he didn't have the whole "mech man" thing. We all know Vader was just originally a thug who killed Lukes father, and as we know, Lucas back peddled on that idea too. He had proven time and time again that he never sticks to one theory, one story.

I'm not complaining about him going down the "mech man" route though. Vader being Lukes father did provide the BEST LINE EVER IN MOVIE HISTORY after all.

Lucas's backpeddling and "fidgetting" with the OT served him well, but it's getting old when almost 30 years later he's still at it, telling us "new" stories about a movie that told it's story and ended pretty conclusively a long time ago.

well i guess that he has a right to if he throws in the right kind of twists.

Yeah, AT THE TIME, but not 30 years later.

That's why the whole "Vader died because he went to the lightside again, he couldn't handle it" garbage isn't flying with me.

It's just another typical post-prequel re-write that Lucas has come up with, that he didn't have over 20 years ago.

No Lucas, you made those films, THAT'S IT. You shown Vader getting electrocuted, beat up, and Luke removed his mask because he knew he was dead anyway. Live with it. Lightside killing him my ass.

yeah and do you remember the whole speach on parsecs and how they measure how fast a starship is by the navigation system.....i thought that was so re-goddamn-diculous.

Lucas "hates" exposition apparently, and yet Episode 1 had a lot of scenes with exposition.

So he's a hypocrit aswell.

oh well.....alls i got to say is that hed better make EP.3 good or itll ruin everything

so i guess now every nerd with their own interpitation knows more than the creator? so if you made a movie and people said, "no, Red is just covering his ass, he doesnt know how it really goes." , then that would be kosher with you? accept the fact that while the lightning did hurt him, its not what killed him. Argue as you wish, but the man said it himself. I beleive the movies belong to lucasfilmlimited, not redsuperflyfilmlimited

oh boy here we go.......it was a combination of both; thats why vader was breathing weird before luke took his mask off. remember what vader said after luke said "but yule die..."
then vader says: "there's nothing that can stop that now."
so the lightning made a damper.

And wouldn't Vader drop dead BEFORE he picked up the Emperor?

Vader: "I fell so, so good again! I'm gonna save my son! Wha? Oh no! I forgot! If I turn back to the lightside I'll die! Gyaaaargh!"

*Vader falls down dead, Emperor kills Luke, Emperor get Jar Jar as new apprentice*

If Lucas had that in mind when he was making the movies, we would have known about it. As it stands, it's a post-production re-write and Lucas ain't selling it to anybody save for the mentally handicapped.
