Vader can use force lightning?

Is this canon? ...Hmmm... http://www.swcomics.com/Empire_Era2_c.php?i=22&f=22&name=Splinter_of_the_Minds_Eye_Part_4_of_4

Splinter of the Minds Eye, what a silly comic.

Anyway, can he?

No.

The RotS Visual Dictionary said that Vader could not conjur (nor repel) Force lightning as it required living hands to do so. If anything, it looked like Luke was using it...

well, i think vader could, but it would just fry his circuits, because i don't think the force cares where the lightning comes out just as long as it comes out.

From the looks of the comic, Vader conjured it and Luke repeled it back at him.

That section of Splinter has since fallen out of continuity.

And Vader loses by tripping over his own arm...

Keep in mind that Splinter of the Mind's Eye was written in 1978, the first EU novel ever. The comic is based off of that.

If you think about it, Sith Lightning didn't exist yet. 😑

Along with C-3p0's attraction to Artoo...

Sorry, call me immature, but I can't take that line seriously...

What, lubricants? 😛

Yeah, as juvenile as it may seem, it makes me giggle (in a manly way, of course). I kind of expect Artoo to break out into a porno-base-beat of whistles and extend all his gadgets after C-3p0 says that.

😂

Yes, he can now use force lightning.

Nah, he could use Force Lightning in 1978. 😱

He can use it from now on. The newest source book made an error, they overlooked that he just did it. Also, Vader can just stop force lightning just like yoda. You will all have to remember that for the versus forum!

Yay!

Wait, Luke has an artificial hand and can use lightning...

Vader using force lightning is back on!

Or is that only with his left hand? Does anyone have links of Luke using his lightning?

Yeah, just because Vader didn't feel the need to use force lightning in a movie doesn't mean he can't do it!
😱
