Luke was using the Force to deflect some of it away from himself according to the novelisation.

That works, although one can also speculate a bit further.havokeff wrote:I suppose that could be worked into my "theory".
Palpatine, when Vader betrayed him, experienced for the first time in 20 years what I called the "franticness and excitement" of fighting for his life, only this time he loses, but it produces the strength in the lightning that we haven't seen since he was first able to really cut lose on Mace in ROTS.
Dark Lord suggests that FL would overwhelm Vader's life support systems almost int he same way real electricity would.nightmare wrote: There's no clear support either way that cybernetics makes it harder or easier to defend against FL.
That doesn't make it more susceptible to damage than living flesh. But it bears to be noted that Vader's life support systems were cybernetic. While having either a living arm or a cybernetic arm shut down from FL, it wouldn't kill you. Having your life support fried, well...Darth Fanboy wrote:Dark Lord suggests that FL would overwhelm Vader's life support systems almost int he same way real electricity would.nightmare wrote: There's no clear support either way that cybernetics makes it harder or easier to defend against FL.
