Force-lightning



Force-lightning is Dark Side Force power: the user projects lightning from their fingertips, causing the victim intense pain and, if sustained, death. Strong Light Side Force users are sometimes able to resist Force-lightning.

Force-lighting was used on Luke Skywalker by Emperor Palpatine in Return of the Jedi. It was also used on Anakin Skywalker by Darth Tyranus in Attack of the Clones&mdash;in the same battle, Tyranus also attempted to use Force-lightning on Yoda, but Yoda was able to resist it.
