How powerful is Sidious' lightning?

We saw Sidious use it against sithspawns, jedi, weird sorcerers, clone troopers etc. but we never saw him utterly overwhelm a powerful force user with it.

Especially in ROTS, one time he used it was against the strongest jedi up to that point and the other guy was Vaapad Samuel so naturally he wasn't able to stomp them.

It is harder to measure his strength in this area compared to the likes of Darth Vitiate who just uses FLS when encountered by powerful opponents. So combat wise, I'm curious to know how far Sidious could go by using his lightning. Now, it is clear that his lightning is one of the best lightnings in the mythos, possibly the best one but how powerful do you think was it exactly? Which group of force sensitives or powerful individuals could he overwhelm with his lightning only?

Actually in the ROTJ novel Luke tries to tutaminis it but gets utterly overwhelmed once Sidious got a little bit serious. Also if you scale it off Starkiller its ridiculously powerful.

Luke even knowing tutaminis is so ****ing ridiculous. And even looking at the scene in the movie it's quite obvious he didn't try to do jack shit. I doubt he even knew what Force lightning was.

My summary of the power of Sidious's lightning is that it's quite good.

ROTJ Luke isnt really a good test for Sidious' lightning.


My real question is, who do you think is the strongest individual/group of force users Sidious can defeat with his lightning.

Okay, I think knocking the most powerful Jedi in galactic history out cold with a single short burst is enough. He can kill anyone with his lightning imo. Mace almost died himself and he had a lightsaber and Vaapad.

It was bending Windu's saber back towards him in the book, wasn't it?

Intriguing. Since you claim to not be uber-biased towards Vitiate, why are Ares and I being singled out and not Beefy?

Is it perhaps because Beefy shares a pro-Vitiate worldview?

Its cause psmith didnt even participate and openly admits that he isnt interested in PT characters. So I don't expect him to contribute which isnt the case with you.

Beefy responded, as did I. His response conveyed condescension with Ares' remark whereas mine endorsed it.

You're being pretty selective here, tbh. You sure you're just not a little biased here?

He rolfed at something that was addressed at me ill intentionally. And again, he openly says he doesn't like PT. Why do you compare yourself to him?

We're all biased to a certain degree. But, in our prior talks, we had a consensus on where to place Vitiate so I'm not sure why you think my judgement is clouded when it comes to Viti.

Hey, I openly loathe SWTOR as much as Beefy openly loathes the PT. So there again... why are poor Ares and I being singled out here?
