In Splinter of the Mind's Eye, Luke conjures up this big white ball of energy that he chucks at Vader. This is all, obviously, before Luke and Vader's encounter in the movie. What I want to know is this: If Luke could conjure up that kind of energy before the movie, why didn't he hurl a similar ball of energy at Vader again (or even Palpy) in the movie?
Luke didn't conjure the white glove, Vader did. Luke had no idea how to counter it so he essentially gave up; this surrender turned out(luckily for Luke
) to be the counter and it bounced off of him and went back to Vader, knocking him down the well.

I rather like the Essential Chronology. It provides some of the only evidence connecting a BDZ with turning a planet to molten slag prior to the AOTC ICS.

Oh, THAT'S right! I remember now. It was one of those freak accidents...
Man, I need to read that book again...

Why couldn't they have gotten Zahn to write the chronology!
