Well, obviously lighting is a force ability you can learn over time. So why assume only one person throughout history could do it?

Yes, I have a nostalgia for non-stupid things.
Stupid? Possibly. Corny? Definitely.
Well at least you admit the things you argue for are corny. However, I must insist they are stupid.
Star Wars has always been corny is some facets but having the Emperor be uber powerful just cause is too much corn for a guy like me.
