ROTS Anakin V.S. KOTOR Revan

Except it wasn't a small army it was a few (at the most) scouting parties.

Revan's above them, imho. You must admit that destroying a small army of Rakatans with one storm of force lightning requires some pretty good power.

Doesn't compare to what Palpatine did in Sithisis, let alone in his OT and DE days.

Also doesn't mean that they can't do it either. Although I'm not downplaying Revan's power.

Yoda cant do it, he is a Jedi.

I meant, that he cant use Force Lightning and Storm, somebody on previous page said that Revan used Force Storm and killed a small army with it.

Yoda controlled and absorbed Dooku's lightning, and shot it back once, so Yoda CAN do it, just he, as a Jedi, chooses not to. All it is is force manipulation.

But my point is, Jedi don't use Force lightning and how is Yoda going to know immediately to use Lightning, he probably knows the defence , but to unleash it, you probably need some time to master it, as with all Force techniques, if you could do it immediately, Anakin should be master of it, in ROTS.

Which Jedi, up until PT, when the old Order was destroyed, used lightning, maybe they can use it, but it goes against their principals.

Yoda was said to know a defence to every darkside attack and it would be logical to assume that he would know how to perform it. I mean he absorbed someone else's manifestation of lightning, i think he can create it.

Even if that is true, he never used it or would have.

That was the point, you said "yoda can't do that" but you have no proof for saying that.

You don't either and don't you have to prof that he has that power, you know like in the murder trial, you have to prove his guilty. 😉

it's obvious that he can by his display in AOTC. if you know how to manipulate it, then you know how to manipulate it. Its not a one way street. And you're the one that made the claim that Yoda couldn't do it. If he can redirect it and absorb it, why would he not be able to produce it?

OK, maybe he does know, but he still never uses it, its against his principles.

I didn't say that he does, just that he can because you said he can't. Anyway, are we in agreement that Anakin wins with sabers and Revan wins with force?

My question would be: if Yoda can't produce lightning - or even produce it easily - why did he not do so against Sidious?

I couldn't tell you. I assume you meant if he "can?" Perhaps he feels its a tool of the darkside and by using it you could begin down the dark path. I mean shit, to Yoda, if you wipe your ass from back to front you start down the dark path. I just think its logical to assume that if he can manipulate it (someone else's no less) with such ease, he should know the process of it and also know how to produce it. But he was pushing it back on to Sidious right before the power surge knocked them both back.

Yea, but he also decided to kill Sidious, without even the thought of capturing him, i know Sidious had all control, but still thats pretty extreme for a Jedi.
