Darth Krayt vs. Darth Maul and Savage Opress

Opinions carry little weight when discussing matters of canon. You've been here a long time G007; you should know this.

If writers intend for something to be happening, they make it know that the something in question is happening - very rarely are key plot points left up to personal interpretation. That said, if it was never stated that AotC Obi-Wan blocked Dooku's beam-like lightning via force pulling it into his lightsaber, why should I assume that's what happened, or what was intended? Because completely unrelated sources have characters doing so? Nah. Different writers clearly have differing opinions where this subject is concerned.

So? Those different interpretations are still canon unless they directly conflict each other. Nothing says that Obi-Wan wasn't pulling the lightning into his blade and other sources indicate that doing so is an integral part of the technique. So he was.

It wasn't stated in the movie that Windu was using Vaapad against Sidious, but other sources indicate that he was. So he was.

Good man.

At the 28:50 mark, those who seek answers to the question concerning Force lightning and lightsabers shall find what they seek.

Dooku's lightning was concentrated into a bolt-like surges of energy, which had no extra arcs spewing it that would have needed to be drawn in. That said, there's no reason why Obi-Wan would have needed to do more than simply place his lightsaber in it's path for it to be absorbed... Just like a blaster bolt.

This praise pleases me.

Awesome. We've finally got some actual confirmation on this.

Thanks Boner!

You are welcome, my faithful sex slavesservants.

Its pretty sad that you listen to those things though. Just sayin'.

I don't really care about that to tell the truth but I'd wager it took some energy to focus it on that blade the way it did. The bolts were definately curving up to hit the saber when they just as easily could have gone down and hit Kenobi in the legs or something.

Looks to me like he pulled the bolts off to the side and onto his lightsaber. Either way, it's canon FACT that the way to block FL is to redirect the bolts to the lightsaber.

It's pretty sad that you live in a country the ass of which my country would kick. 😐

The existence of nukes means that neither of us will get out of that war without a bruised behind me'thinks.

'Merica's invincible.

Spoiler:
We have moar than you and you're just a pissant island. We launch two nukes and all that's left of you is cookie crumbles.

So? It's not like we don't have enough nukes to wipe you out either.
