LeG defended the point quite well, honestly.
Regarding Leg's feat though. I don't think any accurate comparison can really be drawn between the effects of Force lightning on lightsaber/other Force-related defenses and inanimate objects like starships.
Only it should be pointed out that despite the supposed awesomeness of this feat it still failed to overwhelm Arcann.

Just the feats of the Ones, and Sidious overpowering Yodas defense, imo.
I thought it pretty obvious the Ones weren't being considered here.
What feats does Yoda have in Tutaminis that make overwhelming it impressive? He gets scaling from Sidious, not the other way around.

He said unlimited power, which doesn't mean he was shooting for a quick kill. He...never does that.We have a much greater certainty that it's really hard to bend a lightsaber blade than we do of your claim that Sidious wanted to kill Windu quickly, so we should defer the latter to the former.
Is there no possibility for this being an FX error? Now that I think about it, I doubt it was Lucas's intention to bend it tbh.
Well, I question that the power in Palpatine's lightning changed from when he was bending the lightsaber to when he lit Mace up. Or do you believe that when his lightning was being absorbed by the saber he also wasn't trying to kill Windu?

In which case we'd conclude that ashing people really shouldn't be beyond the likes of Sidious, or Valkorion, but will not always be portrayed that way depending on the source.
Fair enough. Still frustratingly inconsistent, tho.
Well it does kinda pale in comparison to him later KO'ing Yoda with the "full power of the dark side." I feel like he was giving him the Luke treatment.
In accordance to the action being logical, I guess that's the only thing that makes sense if you assume Sheev's lightsaber bending feat is one of the most impressive. I just question that the power he was implementing in his lightning varied a lot between him attacking Windu and him bending the saber.
The novel was based off of an old script and the script doesn't have blade bending in it. The book came out first and wasn't really based on the finished movie at all.

👆Anyway he was blown off the platform by telekinetic force, not really the same, whereas Windu's defense was being overloaded yeah.
Uh, no the lightning blew him off.

This is a valid point tbh. Yoda's other use of tutaminis was against Dooku, which isn't a relevant feat when discussing the GOAT lightning feats.

Fraid not dear, rather as usual you shoot yourself in the foot by making my point but in a less nuanced way. Well done.That said I'll highlight the instance in which Vitiate dusted countless on Ziost nonetheless, if only to continue to watch you flail. 🙂
