Some members of the New Jedi Order such as Luke Skywalker (who also used the
Jedi Code forbids Jedi from using Force lightning because to conjure it, one must seek strength that would put them in danger of falling to the Dark Side. However, some Jedi can create electrical judgment and other Force lightning-like powers, such as electrical judgment.
Either way, while Vader can use most other Force abilities, Force Lightning needs to be channeled, and Vader's limbs are explicitly not connected to the Force. The Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith Visual Dictionary confirms Darth Vader cannot use Force Lightning, and even suggests this is the reason why.
Grandmaster Yoda himself was capable of summoning force lightning in the form of Emerald Lightning. Galen Marek was an extremely skilled user of this Force power, even after his conversion to the light side, rivaling Darth Sidious.
Darth Vader can not use force lighting, because of his severed arms. Robotic hands can't summon the force lighting. However Darth Vader can still use other forms of the force, such as force choke.
In Rey's case, the force of his own reflected lightning was what ultimately destroyed Sidious. Anakin and Obi-Wan were able to use their lightsabers to absorb Dooku's Force Lightning.
However, despite their strict adherence to the light side of the Force, several Jedi were known to use this power, as although it was considered a dark side ability, it was also a technique of telekinesis. Its use, however, was forbidden by the Jedi.
Legends Canon: Yes he has. What he used was a variant of force lightning called “Emerald Lightning” which is supposed to be similar to Plo Koon's “Electric Judgement”.
Abrams' movie handles Force Lightning. When Rey taps into the dark side of the force on Pasaana and uses Force Lightning, she feels frustrated after apparently losing Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo) to the First Order and being bested by Ben Solo/Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) in a Force tug of war.

By far, Skywalker's most infamous use of it was upon learning of the death of his wife, Padmé Amidala, after his transformation into Darth Vader. This caused him to involuntarily unleash a powerful Force scream of shame, rage, and grief, severely damaging the medical chamber and the droids within it.
Trained Jedi could sense high levels of the Force in individuals. The presence of Force-sensitives in a vicinity could also be sensed. On rare occasion, such Force-sensitivity could be detected emanating from a powerful "vergence in the Force".
Actor Richard LeParmentier, whose character was infamously choked by villain Darth Vader in the original "Star Wars" movie, has died at age 66, his representative confirms to TODAY.
Little to none at all.
Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were Force-sensitive by virtue of their lineage as the offspring of Anakin Skywalker. A Force-sensitive's offspring could be born with the same power. The twins Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were second-generation Force-sensitives through their father, Anakin Skywalker.
Force choke is just an application of telekinesis. The reason they don't use it is entirely philosophical. The force is life, using life to end life is a perversion in the eyes of the Jedi. The funny thing is, force choke would actually be incredibly useful as a non-lethal application of telekinesis.
In a Vanity Fair interview from 2005, George Lucas went deeper into why Anakin became much weaker as Vader. In the interview, he explained that because Anakin's limbs were severed and replaced by robotics, it was harder for him to use the Force than it was before his battle with Obi-Wan.
The Force choke is another tool employed by Sith to intimidate and even kill their opponents. Sith usually visualize the ability with a claw-like or crushing hand gesture, and strangle a victim through the power of the dark side. The result is an often painful, slow death.
Upon learning that Vader was a servant of the Emperor, the look-alike, who was actually Amidala's former Handmaiden Sabé, fired her blaster at the Sith. Vader deflected the laser with the Force and pulled the blaster out of Sabé's hands.
He also used it in battle to slow the movements of his opponents and to slow enemy blaster shots. Darth Vader used this ability to momentarily contain and slow down the process of a grenade exploding long enough for him to get away from it.
The highest known midi-chlorian count—over 20,000 per cell—belonged to the Jedi Anakin Skywalker, who was believed to have been conceived by the midi-chlorians.
Because Mandalorians are not part of the Republic, there are fewer chances for any Force-sensitivity to be recognized, or for those who are Force-sensitive to be trained by Jedi.
Appealing to the hate and conflict within him, Darth Sidious goaded Luke into attacking. Vader defended the Emperor and he and Luke were locked in mortal combat. Luke lost control of his anger, viciously attacking Vader, finally beating him down and chopping off his hand with his lightsaber.
