DarthMuffin Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 There is something I don't understand... In Ep2, Dooku uses lightning for about 5 seconds on anakin. In Ep6, Palp uses lightning for a good 30+ seconds on Luke. Why didn't Luke die? Anakin was completly :nut: after a 5 sec, and Luke can walk again after 30 secs???

JediNyt Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Yup thats what I think too. Sidious tortured Luke. You will pay the price for your lack of vision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryllith Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Dooku also slammed Anakin into a wall (or two) with the lightning... Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Palpy has had a lot ot time to concentrate his Sith powers, so I think he'd be able to moderate his lightning to the point where it causes immense pain, but holds off on the physical damage until he decides to deliver the killing blow. Dooku, although powerful, probably does not have the same amount of refinement in his control of the lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I agree with Niner.....Dooku is fairly new to the darkside of the force and is still learning all of the powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 It is quite simple, really, when Palpy was doing it, he wanted Luke to suffer, though he used maximum force against Vader. But when Dooku was doing lightning, he simply wanted Anakin out of the fight, and did all his strenght into the lightning, so that Anakin was badly hurt.

If he was using all his power, he wouldn't be laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 From what we have been told about the Dark Side, with Dooku, he is using it as a way to get him out of the fight. Palps uses it with a more evil intent, to torture him in front of his father, to make him suffer. Perhaps it is this more "evil" intent that Palps has, and is still thinking about the torture etc as he does it - Evil feeds evil...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Monk Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 The answer to this question is quite simple. Watch the scene again in SW2; you'll see that Dooku uses the Force lightning to lift Anakin up, swing him around and hit his head against the wall, then drops him. It appears to me that Anakin's knocked out by the impact with the wall, not by Dooku's lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boinga1 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 definately power differences...Palpatine was using about 1/5 of dooku's power...perhaps this is why dooku's lightning appears to have more blue hue than Palp's (just an opinion) edit: saw the above posts: maybe the wall was part of it, but you'll remember that plapatine threw luke up against that railing thing and almost knocked him off it.

lukeskywalker1 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 palpatine wanted to give luke a slow painful death. dooku just wanted to get rid of anakin right away. i dont think they should have put lightning in episode II any ways.

boinga1 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 i dont think they should have put lightning in episode II any ways. Why not? Then how would they have kept obi and ani from takign dooku 2 on 1? and plus then half that whole deal would be gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiMP RABBiT Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 But remember in the end he does say "you will die" and turns on luke again to finish him off. If he was trying to kill luke and dooku was trying to finish off anakin, how come the effect was so different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SettingShadow Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 You gotta remember one thing, Luke was prepared that something would happen, Anakin just rushed forward and was lift off and bounced into the wall. And Palpatine used it to torture Luke kinda, make him suffer real long, then when he said "and know young Skywalker... you will die" yes he propably used it to kill him now, but Palpatine was killed by Vader... bla bla... and my guess is that Luke got up so quickly was because he knew he had to get out of there and save his father...

LiMP RABBiT Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 I suppose that the thought that the planet sized space station you were on was about to be vapourised would spur you on a bit. But then again, if Dooku was "openning up a can of whoop ass" on your master, that would probably spur you on too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SettingShadow Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Not if you didnt mind having no master, now would it? , yea but then again, Anaking wernt prepared for it and he flew into the wall wich is rather painfull... and remember that he does came to Obi´s rescue when Dooku was gonna finnish him off (that and Luke and becoming Vader is the only good thing Anakin ever did ).

Yes, but he did slide (if I remember right) and hit some box or something... and lightning is powerfull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altus_Thrawn Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 1st, remember that anakin got up after his lighting and fought some more, before losing a hand. Sidious strung it out to make luke suffer, and luke was all limping and tired when he was dragging vader around. Luke pushed back with the force when sidious first lightninged him, but sidious pushed harder than luke could counter after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
