Force Storm

You've seen the prequels, and you're just now realizing that?

Wait... THAT'S what happened when Vader threw him down the shaft in RotJ?!

Naw, he burst into a cloud of dark side energy when he was tossed down the shaft.

When he came back and later confronted Luke and Leia on his flagship, he eventually summoned a Force Storm to destroy his enemies, but lost control and was killed by it when it consumed his ship.

the other is a gigantic thunderstorm made by using the Force to make use of the local environment (note: it won't work where there's not the climate for it, so no storms in a desert) - that one, the weather one, is entirely uncontrollable. You basically conjure it up and then let it act like the weather it is.

Both require high levels of power.

You need to conjure up a storm again. Let's...cause carnage together!

These are the three types I know of, Karfy:

1) 'Maelstrom' - the giant space-ripping, planet-destroying ones that Palpantine decided to use to commit suicide.

2) 'Storm' - The weather-based one. A good writer can have fun with that.

3) 'Advanced Lightning' - the SWTOR version. Basically just channeling lightning into the atmosphere and making it arc back to the ground.


Additionally, there's 'Chain Lightning', which is much simpler to learn, and can theoretically be used by strong apprentice-level FUs.

The Advanced Force Lightning was also used by Vitiate prior to SWTOR being a thing, written into EU when he struck down and killed his entire group of Sith Lords while on Dromund Kaas. Vitiate's wookiepedia entry can be found here.

And only two people in canon were ever able to successfully summon the Wormhole Force Storm.

Palpatine was devoured and destroyed by the storm he had unleashed, even though he came back again.

Silence your EU nonsense! He fell down a goddamn pit! AND HE DIED!

...or any sort of original material whatsoever, which is why they instead opted to turn STAR WARS into SPESS WIZERDZ

Abrams is going to destroy the good parts of the EU, I think....

There are good parts of the EU?

I'm going to try my best never to watch the new movies. I'll TRY.

I have to, man... My girlfriend wants to see it... In full lens-flare effect.

Not entirely true. Desert storms are quite common and can exist. Lightning is largely a static electricity phenomenon. Get enough dust and particulate matter in the air, drive up the winds, and you will cause lightning storms.

Not that that matters to this conversation or anything.

Also, I always see you as the God Emperor. Don't know why.
