Because that is how the force is presented in the movies. Plus, while one could say the force is infinite, humans (and aliens) aren't. There is only so much they can do with it.
exactly, the more powerful the being is, the more power they can draw on from the force, allowing them to create and use/abuse more arcane/esoteric abilities. the book kinda explains that some of the things happening in the movies were actually somewhat crazy (sidious blitz, mace super vaapad, palpatine super lightning, etc.)

Also I guess I should add Thanatons other appearance:Displays a neat lightning bubble ability here that would hinder most of the list from engaging him and survives all the power in Nox's body exploding wildly. Pretty neat.
I'd call his little Lightning bubble a gameplay mechanic and nothing more.

Trololol, no. Disarming three nightsisters while drugged is massively more impressive than...
wait, you haven't actually provided any feats in Thanaton's favor aside from "his lightning looks so stylish!"
If Thanaton needs time to charge it, he can fly to the top of one of the statues:
Uh, yeah, no. Obi Wan can jump pretty darn high.
Thanaton's lightning may be more powerful than Dooku's just to throw you a bone and reasonably from his unique talents, proportionately speaking, in that field; however, as Kenobi has easily deflected Dooku's lightning before, there's no evidence to suggest that Thanaton could overwhelm his defenses before Kenobi chops his head off.

No it isn't, as nightsisters possess no protection against lightning. Theres no mention of them possessing a tutaminis equivalent in their arsenal so it absolutely is not impressive in that manner.
Thanaton killed a lenico gargantuan with his lightning. As in, he actually killed something with it. Making his far superior to the piss Dooku shoots from his fingertips.

Irrelevant since theres only enough room on the statues for one person, so Obi-Wans either jumping right at him into a lightning storm or going home.
Yeah but Thanatons lightning is far more powerful than Dooku's since Dooku's lightning sucks balls. Dude couldn't even kill Savage with it when Savage possessed no ability to block it at all.
Thanaton ritual-rapes.

Why would they possess no defense against their signature technique?

Obi Wan's defenses >>>> giant beast's.

Or through his stomach.

Please, demonstrate that he wanted to quickly kill Savage, and why he didn't just run him through with his lightsaber, or crush his windpipe.

Funny how their 'signature technique' is not mentioned in the Book of Sith under their ability list. The only lightning-based techniques mentioned are the Aspect of the Storm which can call lightning from the sky by manipulating the weather and Talzins technique with the bubble. The latter is the only defensive ability mentioned at all.

Yeah but he did this when he was an apprentice, not as the Dark Council Member we see in the game.

Sure thing.

He obviously no longer wanted him as an apprentice seeing his fearful thoughts on Savage afterwards and that he fled rather than try to keep him under his power. Savage had just choked him and Ventress out, there was no reason for him to continue holding back on him.
Theres no indication he could have done those other two things.

😆 Nightsisters use Force lightning on multiple occasions.

Good for him. But killing a beast with lightning is not only quite redundant when you have a lightsaber, but also fails to impress me.
Sure thing.
Yeah. Thanaton's "rituals" require...prep time. Obi Wan's lightsaber does not.

As far as I know only one does, the Nightsister Maul fights. An anomaly perhaps.

Lol, what a load of wank. Its impressive in terms of the level of power Thanaton's lightning possesses, particularly in comparison to Dooku's.

No they don't. You obviously haven't read through the thread. Go back to page 1, watch the Act 2 video and try again.

Still think Dooku's lightning is weak, Neph?
im sorry, but the idea that dooku's lightning is weak is just crazy. he beats master sora bulq (i think now he was a dark jedi) with one blast. he beats AoTc anakin with one blast. he easily disarms the nightsisters with it. it might not be thanaton level, but it's definitely not as weak as you portray it.

Thanaton is among the best Dark Councillors, and while many disbelieve it, I don't think he's weaker than Ravage or Mortis.
Lord Marr certainly thinks highly of him.
"He was a better Sith, than you give him credit for, Ravage."
"I never thought I'd live to see the end of Thanaton, strange that I would come to his successor for help"
Thanaton is acknowledged as a "supremely powerful" Sith in canon.
As far as the lightning argument is concerned, Thanaton destroyed a "large metallic structure" with a normal burst of his lightning during his clash with Exal Kressh. The lightning burst he unleashed on Nox was on a whole new level in comparison to norm. Nox endured such powers with his extraordinary supernatural abilities (I have heard that Nox's body is almost invincible or something).
However, Thanaton's victory over Exal Kressh proves that he is not be underestimated in both power and tactical aspects.
Thanaton should be able to reach Yoda in this gauntlet. In-fact, Thanaton might hold his own against Yoda in a contest of Force powers. Yoda's chances are only with his lightsaber.
