The emperor took lightning to his body for like a minute and he ended up looking like a pale alien. How come luke, who took alot of lightning by the emperor, not end up being scarred or injured?

Which is all irrelevent because the copping the lightning in the face just shows that the Dark Side does not infact corrupt you at all, hell you could bling away being an evil bastard forever and only end up with yellow eyes.
Thats what i thought anyhow, apparently the only way a sith is recognizable is if they accidently blast lightning at a mirror and get themselves
Sidious is probably very very old in ROTS.... the lightning caused his energy to fade and his yourth to disappear. He got some idea about sustaining life, controlling the mi...... (insert M-word).
LIGHTNING DOESN'T MELT SKIN, PEOPLE AREN'T MADE OF WAX!
What are you people learning about in school? Next you'll be saying the moon is made of cheese and clouds are just a figment of our imagination.
Palps dropped his guard. Lucas said himself that the lightning causes the true form to come through. If Windu kept beating Palps over the head with a herring instead of deflecting the lightning, Palps would still look like that. He was in pain, he dropped the ball, finish.
So, we can assume lightning does BUGGER ALL to your appearance!

I prefer the explanation of Palpatine revealing his true face when he uses the lightning. He has yellow eyes after frying Mace to, that cant be explained by lightning being reflected on his face.

and for the rest, luke got hit in the face as well. notice how his teeth light up, and also vader took his lightning full force in the face. dont believe me? play it in slow motion. lit his skull up like a christmas tree.
yet his face was no more f***ed up than in ep3.
face it, the answer is either:
1- palps was hiding his true form in the PT
or
2-it is yet another inconsistancy we all have to live with

Re: Shouldn't Luke have a messed up face?
palpy was using the dark side of the force, thats what made his face go wrinkly and pale.

i read the book just yesterday, palps face is a combo of vastly increasing his power beyond anything he's ever done before, and having all that power reflected back at him.
i think the important thing here is that mace is using vaapad. the darkness flows through him and back out again, if it were any other jedi, i doubt palps would get such an ass whooping.
That's right dammit, why is something that has already been established still being questioned? Sorry, but this thread is stupid.
