So let me formulate what I believe is your position:Luke has an established series of movies and books and is pretty impressive by most people's standards.
Ergo he destroys two notorious and powerful Sith lords in single combat.
You find that perfectly acceptable, huh?
You're sometimes better than you give yourself credit for, and quite frankly you've weathered a lot of harsh debating all these years rather well, so I respect if you try. If not, I'm fine with that. I just want to put the challenge out there for those who will take it up. I'm very interested in seeing Luke's powers and feats put into context because I have not been able to read up on him lately.
About Luke's "Instakill" lightning. All I know about it is didn't it kill like 7 Vong in 1 second? Assuming it works the same on Vong as Force Lightning works on humans, and all other species, Revan and Malak would be f*cked, I think. Yoda was barely able to block Sidious's lightning, and Sidious's lightning was about to rip Mace's lightsaber right out of his hands (the novel states that Mace had no strength left in him, and that his blade bent so close to his face that he was choking on ozone, and Mace admitted to Anakin that Palpatine was too strong for him - that's when the lightning attack ceased). Luke's lightning, stronger than Sidious's, would be unstoppable for Malak or Revan, then, unless it can be proved that they are enough stronger physically than Mace that they could block it with their lightsaber. Neither of them could block it with the Force, either, since Yoda is stronger than either of them (it was stated in the ROTS novel or something that he was the strongest Jedi ever up to that point). So if Luke can take even one of them out quickly, the other one would be a goner.
That's all I've got. It didn't really show all of his powers and feats, though, just talked about his lightning.

He's just spewing nonsense. Don't mind him.
One could say the same about all of your pointless rants on this forum. Just because they couldn't be felt in the force doesn't mean they existed outside of the force. They were on another level of the force. I believe it was either Vergere or somebody else who stated that the Jedi couldn't sense the Vong because of their perception of the force.
Originally posted by LightsnakeI don't know; I only read a few passages from those books. That's why I was asking, as I've heard people mention it before, but no one's ever cited a direct source or posted the passage.
I could be wrong, but didn't he use it in the Swarm War?
And the Slayer very obviously died when Luke zapped it...it's described as toppling like a tree...nothing mentions Luke dispatching it with his saber from thereThat's what I said. I was pointing out to darthsith that Luke only killed one of the slayers with the lightning, and killed the rest with his lightsaber. He thought that Luke killed seven in one second with the attack, or something like that.
