Force Lightning Via Hologram

So, apparently this is a thing. In SW: Galaxies, there's a quest where you can talk to Emperor Palpatine's hologram at the end, but if you do, he kills you with Force Lightning through the hologram. Can't find any videos of it online but there's numerous websites (including both Wookieepedia and the SWG wiki) confirming this, and there's a picture on the SWG wiki.

Show the picture then. uhuh

Somebody else more knowledgeable on SWG (which I know almost nothing about) should clarify/confirm. 🙂

Thats dumb.

I'm truly unsure of how it works. I suppose Az's interpretation of Palpatine's claim in The Dark Side Compendium was correct - he can cast Force Lightning across the galaxy.

Yeh, they had a similar thing with Vader at one point. It happens during an assassination mission, Palpatine kills you as a cover up for being involved if you go back to him instead of another random imperial, IIRC.

Can confirm 🙂

Though if Vader kills you with force lightning (which he does during the first part of the same mission) who knows how reliable it is....

Yep. 🙂

I wonder why they went for Lightning instead of Choke. But still, a nice feat.

For Vader, it could be Kinetite or whatever the power is he uses in splinter of the mind's eye.

Hmm... interesting implications for the Sheev's Hologram vs Valkorion thread....

Sheev fries him. ✅

Do you guys know that Palpatine utilized a hyperspace route to dispatch his Force Storm to Coruscant in order to bring Luke Skywalker to Byss?

Man-made mediums can serve as a gateway to project power to distant locations in Star Wars. Nothing new here.

The Force exists everywhere in Star Wars and all you need is to get a fix on the target, no matter how far.

Vitiate siphoned energy of some of his subjects on a consistent basis and distance was irrelevant to him in this regard. He dispatched his Hands for missions in distant locations from time-to-time for example.

This is the power I command, now that I am one with the dark side. With these energies, I have slain my enemies across the empty reaches of space. I have created lightning, and unleashed devastating fires."

-Palpatine's hologram recording

"Standing watch with the mind, in my meditation of Anger, I have slain my enemies from great distances through the dark side power that permeates the galaxy. I have created lightning, and unleashed its detructive fire."

Ah makes sense. ✅

Az, you understand what a full-stop is, right?

I asked this question many years ago on Wookieepedia. Idk if Star Wars: Galaxies is a reliable source, but if Palpatine can conjure lightning from across the galaxy then that IS awesome

SW Galaxies. 😂

Time we all started recognising the Sith Order that isn't the Banite Sith Order and had like hundreds of members in the game, then.

New depths, truly.

Except players couldn't be Sith in SWG.
