Originally posted by Rogue JediWow, that's clever. In the movies, no one ever ran from Force Lightning, so ergo, anyone who runs from it can't be hit by it! Post hoc ergo propter hoc.
OK, RJ, I'll answer that.Every time someone was hit with force lightning, they were either A. Standing still just waiting to be hit, or B. Running at the person who was casting force lightning.
Dooku versus Anakin: Anakin ran right at him.
Dooku versus Obi Wan: Obi Wan was just standing there, caught it on his saber.
Sidious versus Yoda: Yoda was just standing there like a n00b.
Palpatine versus Luke: Luke was just standing there like a n00b.
The idea that a force user can track apparating wizards and force lightning them is ludicrous. Never, not once, was force lightning shown tracking a fast moving/instant moving target.
So.....Force lightning, out. Same with force crush. Force push and pull, as well as force hold are countered with apparition. Jedi mind trick aint working on a wizard. Precog gets overwhelmed, easily. Saber attack? Lulz, man, the wizard apparates away or vanishes the Jedi. Force speed? Immobulus.
Pretty sure that covers it all.
The idea that a Force user can't foresee the attacks of a regular human who needs to point his blaster wand and fire a fast moving laser spell is ridiculous. Not only have Padawans shown the ability to foresee and track incoming rapid fire, but they've also shown proficiency in moving faster than a computer-brain (NOTE: non-human automaton) can track.
