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.

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.

No, there were Sith NPCs.

The Rule of Two doctrine was basically abandoned by now, lol. Palpatine had his own Rule of One set up.

Galaxies probably isn't canon. If Vader also does this that just cements that we shouldn't take it seriously at all.

It is Canon. It's referenced in sources.

Any link to Vader doing it?

If this is canon, the Hero of Umbara is, lmfao.

Any compelling reason why this feat is invalid beyond personal incredulity?

Hmm.

Do you know that hyperspace wormholes are a natural phenomenon in Star Wars? A great disturbance in the Force can trigger one on its own.

This unpredictable natural phenomenon suddenly connected distant points in the galaxy by creating hyperspace tunnels. These wormholes produced vast amount of energy in the form of violent storms. Great disturbances in the Force could sometimes trigger a wormhole.

Taken from The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia

Hyperspace is a dimension of space-time continuum in the Star Wars universe, if I am getting it right.

So Force Storm is an application that can be used to tap this dimension in order to create/trigger a hyperspace wormhole that may serve as a gateway to a distant location? mmm

Yes.

I totally approve of the notion that Palps can use FL via hologram, btw.

Now watch as everyone refuses to back my position.
