In fact another thing is, FL isn't used a whole lot compared to TK, in fact TK is the most versatile of Force abilities when you look at the supplement powers it gives.
Let's see...
Saber Throw, Deflection, Alter Environment, Flight/Levitation, so on and so forth.
You could really do the same thing as Force Lighting, by calling down Lighting from the sky with Alter Environment, manipulating the air currents and what not. Difference really being, is that it's not coming from a Force User so you would be limited in where you could use it, but essentially it'd be the same thing.

Sounds like Maul to me.

Originally posted by ZenwolfThat has nothin got do with my point but I'll walk you back since you let it fly right over your head. Unable to walk or move properly aptly described Vader not Maul in the same episode that aired. I didn't say Maul could tank it without any ill effects only that this applied to Vader not Maul making it hilariously ironic.
Because of a super weapon exploding on top of him.....Vader walks just as fine otherwise.

If you're referring to the discussion between Plagueis and Sidious, I'd ask that you consider the fact that when Sidious was pitching the idea of training Maul, it would probably be a bad idea to mention that his plan the whole time was to murder Plagueis and have Maul rule alongside him as the new Rule of Two partnership, which is confirmed by both the novel, other Legends sources and now the canon interpretation of Maul (which is that he was Sidious' apprentice up until TPM, and was then out of the picture when Anakin came along).Also... I don't get the issue with a Sith training as the warrior archetype. The Sith's ultimate goal is to kill the Jedi and rule the galaxy; the Sith warrior being trained to kill Jedi embodies this Sith ideal and uses the most effective means of murdering it's target: their own body and telekinesis. They'll have skill in Telepathy, perhaps lightning, and some other techniques, but the ones they truly master are the ones that allow them to complete their ultimate goal. I don't see how it could be viewed as an inferior path to take if you learnt a greater multitude of Force techniques which could end up being useless, opposed to mastering the few that get the job done. And as most of us know, most sourcebooks list Maul as being one of the most "highly trained" "lethal" "dangerous" and "skilled" Sith in the history of the Sith Order.
Just going to leave this here, as well. A post where I refer to a multitude of sources essentially debunking every notion presented in this thread, from Maul being weak, lacking versatility, having incomplete training, etc. I'm aware this was a troll thread but, on the off chance some of you were just mistaken and are open to seeing a different argument:
I'm actually quite a fan of your posts, so I have read what you said in that thread before. Unfortunately, that was a while back and I couldn't remember exactly what you said nor where I could find what you said, and considering this is a troll thread, I didn't put much thought into my response. Needless to say, I agree with you upon rereading and will make sure to consider this in future posts.
