Not sure if this is Neb or not. But...

Krayt may have displayed control over his lightning, but that does not mean his lightning was more powerful than Dooku's. Dooku's lightning was powerful enough to cause a huge explosion in the ceiling. Dooku also shows control over his lightning when he knocks Ventress unconscience without killing her. I also recall a comic where Dooku unleashes storms of lightning from his hands.

Just because Krayt's armor has a high resistance to lightsabers does not mean he is going to land a blow.

Again: Dooku has quotes and feats in his favor. Krayt defeated maybe four average trained jedi at once.

Darth Subjekt The beginning of the end.

Bullshit. On all fronts. You can't say just cause Anakin doesn't have a history with someone that he can't focus his emotions like he does every other time we see him. And just cause we haven't seen him block lightning in a movie doesn't mean that he can't do it, and it would be ludicrous to assume he couldn't.

Anakin is above all his peers and most of his superiors. Mace commented before that Anakin is too powerful for his own good, and that was around AOTC before he realized his powers fully.

He faltered once against OB1 because of everything he had done and because he just almost killed the woman he joined the darkside for, and was fighting his brother/father figure. That was the exception, not the rule. Given his natural calling as the chosen one, I'd say that Dooku scenario was his "rule." Unless of course you can find something that outright states he was in rare form against Dooku.

No, it just means Krayt has more skill at using it.

Big deal. Any Sith can do that. They just have to keep the lightning below six miliamps.

Correction; Krayt defeated four ELITE trained Jedi at once.

Dooku has also shown skill with it, and definetly far more power with it. Dooku has also shown to lift opponents off the ground with it.

Grievous defeated like four jedi MASTERS at once, who have more to there name than some elite guards. This is the same Grievous that Dooku casually defeats in there spars. In obsession (I believe) Dooku went toe to toe with Windu for a while.

Proof?

You're an expert at using sith lightning now?

PoD states that you have to be taught Force lightning; it isn't an innate trait of being a sith.

The point is that once they've learned how to do it, any Sith can adjust the voltage and amperage of the lightning depending on whether they want to kill the target or just KO them. Dooku using it on Ventress and not killing her is no big feat of control. Any Sith that can use lightning could do it.

Use a little common sense. We know that Jedi/Sith can vary the amount of power they use. For example, they'll use more power lifting a boulder than a pebble. Why should lightning be any different.

Six miliamps or more across the heart will cause the heart to stop. Below six miliamps will not. This is scientific fact.

The first time Bane used lightning, he literally released powerful storms that filled an entire room. This was maybe an uncontrolable display of sith lightning, since it was his first time using it. I'm sure it takes experience and control to adjust the intensity.

Sith lightning is not the same as TK, so do not compare them. Unless you are saying Bane was a master of it the first time he used it, since that was probably one of the greatest displays of lightning in the entire mythos.

Even if I am wrong, you still have yet to prove Krayts lightning is powerful enough to get passed Anakin's saber defense. I don't care if Krayt made heart shape designs with it. If it's not powerful enough to break Anakin's defense then it would be useless.

Again: Krayt's lightning has not shown the destructive kind of power as Dooku's.

Yeah, Dooku has buttons on the back of his hands to adjust the voltage. It takes control and mastery to CONTROL the power of your lightning, especially knowing how much power to use to knock a foe unconscience without killing them.
