And as tfu game and novels has shown, force lightening means very little versus vader.
As for why it effected him in the movie, I'm not sure, maybe it was due to vader wanting to lose, to die, for redemption, so he didn't use the force to protect himself?
But can Sids just insta-kill Vader in a combat scenario? In RotJ Vader wasn't going for a fight, he just went to shaft Sids (literally).
Plus there's Caedus. What if Vader attacks Sids with his uber TK and Caedus goes for a lightsaber fight?
I am not sure Sids, even as of DE, is so superior in the force to take them both easily, considering they are also both force beats.

In that game, yes
In Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, Palpatine points out that with one finger he could short circuit the panel on Vaders chest that kept him alive, one zap and Vader would only live for a few moments, the TFU had to make lightning less effective so you would actually have a boss fight instead of a zap i win
The tfu novels level of canon is above dark lord isn't it? In that he takes levels of force lightening from marke, who arguably has some of the most powerfullightening shown in the mythos yet.
Thus there is a confliction of canon, and wouldn't tfu novel have the higher canon? Thus its word takes precedence?

Idk what type of canon either are, but if you asked me i would have said they were equal, and went with Dark Lord cuz Sidious said it, and im pretty sure he had the most powerful lightning in the mythos, Marek disintegrated troopers, but im not sure that was lightning
