Who really won the one on one in Ep. 3 Yoda or Sidious

I actually don't believe that Force lightning has enough kinetic force on its own to do what Sidious and Dooku have done with it.

In AOTC, when Dooku electrocutes Anakin, the lightning courses through him for a moment, before he is thrown sideways into a wall. A throw through the Force much like when Dooku threw Obi-Wan like a rag doll.

In ROTS, I believe that Sidious did indeed use an additional Force power in the form of a push to rocket Mace's near-dead form out the window.

The reason perhaps, that Yoda was sent flying into a wall was because of his small size. Likely enough to be lifted clean off of the ground. Although there may be more to it.

Well...

If you compare Sidious force lightning in ROTS and than in ROTJ his lightning seems to have much less kinetic energy as Luke is still able to avoid being blown in the reactor core.

Palpatine was only torturing Luke at that point. If you need proof, you'd see that Palpatine was in no hurry to slay Luke, and also broke of the lightning assault from time-to-time - gloating and muttering off lines about how his feeble skills were no match for the power of the Dark Side.

Palpatine could've killed Luke if he wanted. But his arrogance got the better of him, so he merely tortured a dying son in front of his conflicted father. Which led to his downfall...down a reactor shaft. 😛

But no. If Palpatine went all out - from what we've seen in ROTS - he could've killed Luke with severe ease.

Could you please argue that point every time someone says that ROTJ Luke is pimp because he 'absorbed' lightning for a full minute.

Well, he slams into a group of barrels as soon as the torturous lightning hits him. And there was that guardrail behind him.

And in ROTS, Mace takes Sidious' full force without budging. That is, until he gets blown out the window. . .

Thanks for the inconsistancies, George.

Yeah, well, better than nothing. And it can be explained, when I have the time and patience.

Here's mine- Sith Lightning operates under the Dramatic Neccessity Theory (DNT). It's like the T-Virus in Resident evil- its actual effects do whatever the script and director tells them to do, having no basis in fact.

If I shot you with lightning of that magnitude (judging from the fact that it's a visible arc of energy) for longer then a second, I'd stop your heart, and you'd be dead. And if you absorbed it with a blade of light, you've already went ahead and tossed the rules out of the window. Then you have a man who was maimed, the wounds cauterized, and yet has functional synthetic limbs. And despite being burned horribly in something that would kill a real human being, or put them in shock so bad they couldn't recover... or even melt them like a candle (Yes, this can happen) and the scar tissue will make them look like Quasimodo backing up, to suddenly look like Powder with a slight scratch mark on you after nearly twenty some years of wearing a black suit that can't make pooping fun (Imagine trying to get out of it when you have to go) ... damn... inconsistancies abound. For the sake of dramatic purpose.

Well, considering their advanced age, I imagine they'd be able to treat Vader somewhat. . . But yes, you're right. Hey, it's Star Wars. When a ship the size of a one-story house can accelerate to 1.5 times the speed of light,

That can theoretically happen. However, when you consider the power needed to generate a moon sized space station, and the power this station can maintain to destroy a planet with a beam in under a second (entirely, all of the matter obliterated) and NOT have a power flux. I mean, hell... I turn on the air conditioner when the computer's on and I have to back up my saved data. That must be some REAL electrician's work. Those Wookie slaves sure are talented.

Geonosian bugs. . .

I don't care if eight million Anakin Skywalkers created the Death Star- it's source of power must be near infinite, because it uses more power than a planet does.

lol Its only a movie guys, realx..

And a kids movie at that.

Did you know that? Staw Wars is really a childrens movie..

Lmfao

Really? Is that why it depicted decapitations, dismemberments, has big words like "Constitution" and "unifying Force" in it, and touches on all sorts of traditional mythical values and morals? You mean this whole time I was watching a kids movie?

Please, stfu. Saying Star Wars is geared entirely towards children is ignorance.

Hey, btw, you mind telling me what Star Wars movie mentions the word "Constitution" and/or the "Unifying Force"...since what i was referring to were the movies. Unless you don't know how to use logic, which i suspect you don't with the evidence at hand.

Secondly, are you saying kids shows like cartoons and children's programming don't contain values and morals sometimes traditional and every once in a while mythical? Can we say Disney? For example?

I'm not one your regular *uckheads that come in here looking for BS cause I'm not a trouble maker, I'm a trouble bringer..

i dunno, perhaps your just a natural born *******, Janus, not because of what you say but the type of person you are in here. so far, without mentioning any names, Ive got about a dozen email telling me how much of a *ss you are, not because of the debates but because your just plain a bad person. as if you're just someone people would be extremely uncomfortable around because of your person.

Janus, you suck.
