Why Couldn’t Darth Vader Use Force Lighting?

Despite being an immensely powerful dark side ability and the fact that other Sith in cybernetic suits, like Darth Malgus were able to use Force lighting, Darth Vader never did. This was mostly because of his specific suit.

Vader’s master, Darth Sidious constructed his suit in a way that would cause as much pain and suffering for Vader as possible, allowing him to channel immense dark side power, but never get too strong. In doing so, Palpatine made sure the suit was extremely electrically conductive and ensured that Vader’s critical life support systems would pass through his arms, putting them at severe risk of shorting out and killing Vader if he used force lightning.

Palpatine did this so that if his apprentice ever attempted to overthrow him, there was a glaring weakness to stop him…

As a result, Vader Couldn’t use force lightning without the risk of getting himself killed..

In legends Vader had access to a more powerful force lightning technique called Kinitite, he could condense the lightning midair and launch it. It's nigh-lethal on contact from what we see in splinter of the minds eye.

So Palpatine was afraid of Vader overthrowing him .
So he threw him down a shaft.

Vader had many chances to upgrade his suit but he chose not to because the pain the suit caused him increased his Force anger which gave him unlimited power the angrier he got

Put bluntly, its because he's 3 quarters toaster

Force lightning is pretty broken that's why darth sidious and dooku can only use it

Before the end of revenge of the sith he was such a caring master then he turned real cruel after he was burned.

@StarForceOne Oh wow....had no idea, your knowledge really impresses me. Cheers🤗

[Vintenuthewizard]

Vader couldnt use lightning because if he did he would literally die

[Cegorachthelaughinggod]

He can't use it either way because of his cybernetic hands. That's one of the reasons Vader could never surpass Palpatine.

Please explain why darth vader was a weak bitch if he was supposedly so powerful?
