Well, this is prolly an EU thing, but I read that Plo Koon can use lightning, and I heard that lightning was originally a light-side power. Maybe it's like the grip after all, just depends on how much 'umph' you put in it. Sidious only used a bit to torement luke, so if a jedi knew how to use it, he could use it to stun an enemy into submission rather than kill. I guess a dark sider once used it to kill and then everybody declares it a bad power.

Wow, that's the first time I've heard that in the Episode III section in a long time... 😂Thanks, Matreid.
Though, Luke's slight stun thing does look like a Grip, I must admit; they do reach for their throats. I suppose it isn't a purely evil power...though, depends on your use. If you use it to stun someone? Not evil. If you use it to kill someone by choking the life out of them or making their heart explode? Evil.
However, lightning doesn't work that way. Sith Lightning is a concentration of the user's hatred/anger/fear/etc., so can't be a Jedi thing.
Read the ROTJ book, yes Luke did use force grip on those Gammorreans, bit he didn't hold it long enough to be fatal just like when Vader force-choked that Grand Moff in ANH before Tarkin odered him to release him. The Jedi aint just relegated to passive/defensive powers, several Jedi in the history of the Order, such as Plo Koon had the ability known as "Jedi Fire" in which they use the Force to literally create fire out of thin air by exciting oxygen atoms. By the way, the Sith could also use the "Jedi" Mind Trick, and yes Maul could use Lightning.
I read in the Episode III Visual Dictionary in the Darth Vader section that Anakin could have used force lighting with his left hand before he loses it against Obi-wan in the duel. However, at the same time, Anakin could not use either because he never had the chance to use. Also when Anakin becomes vader and wears the suit, he could not use it wither because like otehr said, it would short circuit his suit and he would die, like what happened in ROTJ.

Who's this Dave Chapelle everyone keeps referring to?😕
Well, its ok DD, its just that there was a clip of Dave chapeelle emulating Rick James ( I'm Rick JamesB@itch!, haha), and during the episode, Dave (emulaing Rick James) went onto eddy's murphy's couch. brother got mad, and Rick James ( no respect) put his Fu*kin feet on the couch and disrespected him.
Thats whats funny, I never thought I had to explain.....I guess you have to see the chapelle show..
