Actually it is a great excuse, under threat of death or in any hard situation human beings often go beyond themselves and do better then they could ever have done in a normal situation. Vader would have given it his all and more to kill Palpatine there, if he would have tried in a normal day he could have very well died.

Hard to say as there was a scene change inbetween.1. Dooku zapped Anakin for longer.
2. Anakin's head hit the wall of the cavern.
3. Anakin as of AOTC is far weaker than Yoda.He wasn't aiming at Luke after Vader picked him up. Hoe was he hitting himself? His lightning arched back right into Vader.
So if I knew I were going to die I could withstand it too, huh? And so could C-3PO. And Wicket. Tisk, tisk, a bad excuse.
Only because it damaged his circuits, but it's effect wasn't as immediate; it didn't appear to cause him much pain and it didn't stop Vader from killing him.
You think Sidious would wander around his desk in 1 minute then continue to threaten Yoda? He was clearly walking towards Yoda after he blasted him.
1. Dooku zapped him for mabey a sec or 2 longer.
2. Lol, and Yoda didn't get slammed into a wall?
3. Not in physical apperance. Who would win in a barehanded brawl, Yoda or Anakin? Who would be able to take most hits to the head, Anakin or Yoda?
Vader held him over his head and Sidious hands were aiming upwards, the lightning came back on him too. And Vader held him, the lightning would have proceeded through Sids too.
Look what Fishy said, then see my reason just above. ^
Yes, this is right. Vader didn't even die in 7 seconds, he held out a long time afterwards too.

Erm, it will. It's been chronicled many times that people do things far more effectively when they are under danger or see someone that they love under threat. Like the 5'4 woman who lifted up a car to save her son.
Yes, it does make you stronger but lightning is lightning, it's not going to protect you.

Very slowly, you want me to time the length Yoda was down for (ie, how long it took Sidious to walk over there)?I've got the time written down at home.
He hit an office wall, Anakin'd head slammed into a chunk of rock.
Yoda'd kick his ass, he's buff as hell. Size matters not. Skill is what matters.
Tsk, tsk, watch ROTJ again, or at least that scene. o lightning his Sidious.
I don't think Adreneline is going to protect Vader from lightning.
So you think he walked about 3m in 1 minute?? That's a lame excuse. LOL at least it would explain his quote, "I have waited a long time for this, my little green friend) j/k.
So what, some seconds more or less.
Anakin was carried by the lightning, he didn't hit the wall as hard as Yoda did. Yoda was knocked out by the hit in the all, not by the lightning. Anakin was lying there and mouning about the pain.
WTF? Skills doesen't matter, Yoda was taken by surprise and hit the wall with his head. Skills doesen't matter when you get punched in the face. And size matters not is useless in this debate. Yoda was strong with the force, that's why the size didn't matter. You think this football sized alien (who was very old and did not have as strong muscles as Anakin) could beat him in a fight unarmed or take as much damage as Anakin? I'm not talking about who is going to win in an unarmed fight (though it is clearly Anakin) but who was in best shape, so if Yoda had uber skills that could dodge almost anything, how would that help him when he actually got hit?
And you should think a little. If Vader is holding Sidious while Sidious bursts him with lightning, would not Sidious get hit too? He was screaming all the time.
Lightning has never killed anyone instantly, most people give into the pain. But since Vader knew that he would die anyway and that his son would die if he didn't do anything, he had no choice but continue. It's not impossible to resist pain for 10 seconds.
