purifier Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Anyway, Yoda threw lightning, that's in the movie. But people are like "no, he couldn't have, because that's a Dark Side only power!" That's what I meant. I thought he was blocking and reflecting it back at Dooku by his on hand when Dooku shot at Yoda with it. Kinda like when Mace Windu reflected the Emporer's own lighting back at him, with his lightsabre. Or am I thinking of another encounter that Yoda had with someone else?

Kurgan Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Watch the scene again. He does that little glowy thing in his hand for awhile where Dooku's blast hits his hand and does nothing. Then he pushes his hand forward and throws lightning in Dooku's face. Dooku BLOCKS it with his hand and sends it into the ceiling where it explodes in flames. That's the only time in any of the movies where we see anything like it. It isn't even the same as the scene where in that stalemate with Palpatine in Episode III. Somebody once suggested that here Yoda isn't using the same hand gesture as Dooku, so he must not "really" be throwing it, but if you watch Episode III and ROTJ you see that there is no single universal hand gesture for "lightning" (just like there isn't one for any other Force ability used in more than one movie, and sometimes they use the force without any gestures, though lightning always appears to come forth from a hand somehow).

Anakin_Xisali Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 This is entirely EU, but in the Yuuzhan Vong War, after Anakin Solo dies, his sister gets so angry she just magically uses Force lightening at an attempt to fry the warriors in a adjoining hallway. She didn't learn it, it just came to her and she let loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares Navaar Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Don't quote me on this, but I believe the reason Darth Maul /didn't/ use much of the force at all, outwardly (push, lightning, grip, etc) was because he was using it to enhance his speed and agility, to put more into his combat.

Silent Descent Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 He is more of a swordsman than force user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forty73 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 well, I was not able to read the full story but I knew that Darth Maul is just a swordsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
