Force lightning could also be absorbed and redirected by a Jedi of sufficient skill; Yoda demonstrated this ability by both deflecting and absorbing the dark power during battles with Darth Sidious and Tyranus, using nothing more than his own two hands.
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.
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.
It's likely Kylo never learned how to summon Force Lightning
From what we learned from the Marvel Comics story on Kylo Ren and his upbringing, along with the information explained and even alluded to in the sequel trilogy — it's entirely likely that Kylo never completely learned how to harness Force lightning.
Force lightning can be deflected and absorbed by a lightsaber, and select Jedi have proved able to neutralize the technique through the power of the light side.
Force lightning could also be absorbed and redirected by a Jedi of sufficient skill; Yoda demonstrated this ability by both deflecting and absorbing the dark power during battles with Darth Sidious and Tyranus, using nothing more than his own two hands.
We do know, from Episode III, that he could absorb it, and then redirect the energy back at its user (Palpatine, in that instance), but it was no longer “lightning” when he re-released it. Yoda was exceptionally strong with the Force. While he probably could have used Force-lightning, he probably wouldn't have.
Yes, Luke do know how to use force lightening since he did use it against the yuuzhan Vong but all of that happened in Legends not Canon.
Even though Kylo Ren uses a red lightsaber, harnesses the dark side of the Force, and wears a cape, he is not a Sith. Because of that, he can never hold the title of Darth.
Chronologically, Count Dooku is the first to use Force lightning in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. He then goes on to use it extensively all throughout Star Wars: The Clone Wars, with he and Palpatine being the only people seen to use it in the prequels.
He wasn't as reckless and impulsive anymore. He was very capable of defeating the old count, and Force lightning just wouldn't work on Anakin's fast-paced movements. Plus, the duel was way too fast-paced and quick with no time to really unleash Force lightning.
Despite being a powerful user of the dark side of the Force, Darth Maul never used Force lightning in any of the Star Wars films or shows. Despite so many dark side characters using Force lightning in Star Wars, Maul never used it any of his appearances on the small or big screens.
Weakness: Electricity
Darth Vader possessed the skill to use Force lightning, but the limitations of his suit prevented this. A lot of the systems that were keeping Darth Vader alive were maintained by electricity, which is why Force lightning was so destructive towards him.
Mace Windu, with his lightsaber combat form Vaapad, could reflect the lightning back to its source with a "superconducting loop". It required tremendous effort on the reflector's part, however, as seen in Windu's battle with Palpatine; Windu was seemingly able to overcome Palpatine's lightning.
Gray Jedi commonly demonstrated their skills with both Light and Dark side Force capabilities. For example, the capacity to construct a lightsaber from scratch, along with unique Force talents such as Force lightning.
According to the book Star Wars: Darth Plagueis—which tells the story of the Sith Lord before he was killed by his own apprentice, Darth Sidious—Jedi can learn to mimic Sith lightning powers. However, they can never truly learn the skill to its full strength due to being too compassionate.
1 Darth Sidious
There has been no Sith, as powerful, meticulous, nor as evil as the Emperor himself, Darth Sidious. As previously mentioned, Sidious trained in the Dark Side by Darth Plagueis before Sidious killed Plagueis in his sleep, making Sidious a Sith Master.
Rey didn't become a Sith Lord imbued with the soul of Palpatine because she didn't kill him, he ultimately killed himself. His greed, recklessness, and thirst for power were his undoing. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is currently in theaters.
When Kylo Ren did this, he poured so much hate and anger into the crystal, causing it to crack. in the lightsaber itself, the crystal was extremely unstable. This is why his lightsaber has that crackling effect. He also made use of cross guards to make sure.
Force lightning, also known as Sith lightning or dark rays, was an offensive power that Force users could conjure through the dark side of the Force.
Electric Judgment, also known as Emerald Lightning, was a Force power used by the Jedi to spray electric bolts of variable intensity from the hands and fingers.
The Sith Lord's powers were enough to overwhelm the Jedi and send him plummeting down to the depths of the senate chamber. Yet the battle wasn't a complete loss for Yoda, as Palpatine was just as overwhelmed and seemed to have taken the same level of beating. Yet still, Yoda saw the fight as a loss and took his leave.
Despite the fact that it was geared more towards deflecting blaster fire, Soresu enabled Obi-Wan to quickly react to (and deflect/absorb) Force lightning better than any other fighting forms (like Anakin's form V) would …
Anakin is supposedly more powerful than other Sith Lords like Dooku yet he can't use force lighting.
Dark Jedi were Force-sensitives who were devoted to the dark side of the Force but were not Sith nor members of the Inquisitorius.
