Qordis. But his feats are good enough that you don't need examples of ragdolling to prove he can do so to these two. Neither of which have impressive TK feats of their own.
So anyone can dodge lightning? That's patently false. It's not as if Bane's lightning is slower than anyone else's. And he can just spam them if they do dodge, he can unleash them faster than they can jump. And Bane can make massive lightning storms if he wants. They won't dodge that.
Not going to bother arguing with you on that. Does that mean he can't beat them though? You don't need to be as skilled as Maul to beat those two. He's faster and stronger than Qui-Gon and Kenobi and much more powerful. He's more skilled than either. He can easily take one of them out with the Force then defeat the other in sabers. Or beat them in sabers at the same time.

No, but generally some of history's strongest Jedi tend to be capable of it. Even if they're in a position where they can't, it can normally be diffused on a lightsaber blade. Though that doesn't make it any less useful a weapon than a lightsaber, Cart.

Indeed, very few can boast superior bladework to Darth Maul. You'd be pretty hard pressed to argue otherwise, I'd imagine.

Correct.
He's faster than Qui-Gon,
Can't say I agree.
He's stronger than Qui-Gon
Likely, but that will hardly be enough.
He can easily take one of them out with the Force then defeat the other in sabers.
It's definitely a possibility, especially in Kenobi's case.
Or beat them in sabers at the same time.
Unlikely.
I'm loling @ the idea of Bane being able to summon lightning storms when he would be in a similar situation to Maul. Also given that his lightning was dodged there is simply no reason to believe it would be as effective as Bane's skill, Bane has no dueling feats to suggest he can beat them both at once. Nephs continued wanking of Bane's lightning as if it ends 99% of all duels is hilarious

Please list some of Bane's off nexus force feats, if only to refresh the memory of the old posters and to enlighten the newcomers.

Not that it matters, because, you know, the fact remains that Hetton dodged Bane's FL thus it's obvious that it can be dodged.....
How much more straightforward reasoning needs to be for you to grasp it?

As for the rest, tl;dr, sorry.

Compared to Bane, yes he wasn't impressive. Not many are. But he was still the leader of the top academy in the Empire. Sith can't be in charge of places where all their most powerful people gather by being shitty.
And its not as if Qui-Gon and Kenobi are anything special powerwise either. There's nothing suggesting they'd do any better. The extreme ease with which Bane did it plus the 20 years extra he has on that feat as of DoE makes it just a plausible he does the same to them.

Sure, but for some reason it's only Bane who gets the suggestion that his lightning is easily avoided. I hardly think anyone would say the same of Sidious or Vitiate, though their lightning is surely the same speed. As you say it's still a trump card and it hits far more frequently than it doesn't. And neither Qui-Gon or Kenobi can block it.

More like a certainty. Those two are out of their league.

Please eat a dick. You're well aware of his feats.

I don't see how skill comes into play, unless you mean by catching people off guard or using it suddenly.
It kind of does matter, because lightning has been on target far more times than it's been dodged. Bane's lightning has also failed to be dodged by an amped Jedi Master. Not even Yoda could dodge lightning that easily. Just saying that it "can" be dodged doesn't mean that Qui-Gon and Kenobi will dodge it or suddenly makes it irrelevant. You cannot dismiss such a potent ability like that. We've seen Kenobi facing lightning and he doesn't dodge it.

Yes. He charred a 30 meter long drexyl to a husk with one hand. Maybe he'll use two to kill them both at the same time?
