Tutaminis is a pretty fun word to say, tho. It's retarded, but still fun to say. But yeah, hopefully Canon will come up with a better term.

Never said Luke deflecting lightning wasn't canon.

I certainly wouldn't complain if they did.

So...yeah, Sidious ramped up his Force Lighting at the end there to lethality.


Not definitive enough :hmm

Damn

Already knew he was ramping it up to a level that would be lethal to Luke there just from his words in the film, kind of annoying the script doesn't spell it out plainly.

Sidious, being more powerful than either Vader or Luke at this point anyway, doesn't necessarily need to hit his peak output to kill either and all :hmm

Anyway, back to finishing Spirit Tracks. Thanks for the posts and constructive discussion.

His/her skill with badassery was second to none; brushing of turbolasers as if they were nonexistent.

As pointed out, Luke didn't necessarily have to be using force absorption (I call it by it's original term) in order to resist or repel it. Anakin was able to resist prolonged attacks from Dooku before being KO'd, without knowing the technique.

I never thought he was going all out on Luke at any point, considering that when Vader lifted him, his skull was visible by the lightning attack, even underneath all that armor, whereas Luke's wasn't. Plus, if whatever technique Luke was using to deflect the attack was overwhelmed, then his skinned should have melted off or charred under a full attack. If you watch closely to the scene where Luke removes Vader's helmet, the arching part of the helmet is melted down.

Could do without the Whip minigame though

Not horrendously difficult, but I lack depth perception, so I tend to make one or 2 **** ups that cost me the ****ing heart container by fractions of a second

Still, kind of par for the series and me. Always has one minigame per game I loathe.

That said, can't say there's a single game in the franchise I don't like, flaws and all.

EDIT - Taking a quick break WAS a good idea

Just beat got the damn thing on my first retry in 10 minutes :lmao

He was and his lightning was weak and couldn't fry Luke. He's a failure like Darth Bane
