Like why, when the Emperor realized that Vader had picked him up, (or was in the process of falling) didn't he turn off the lightning?

Okay, well in that case, I think it is more of like when you are tased. Your muscles all seize up and you cant stop doing what you are doing. Probably doesn't make since with the Force, but not much does.

Vader grabbed him in his tickle spots?

More likely that Palpatine was surprised and doing the Sith Lightning equivalent of flailing around trying to fry Vader before he got tossed.  And after he got tossed he was just angry about it and lashing out.

Fretful Instigator of the Prismatic Order

He was zapping Vader, who resisted/endured long enough to finish tossin' Palpatine down the hole. Palpatine just didn't reach around behind him to get direct aim.

So, there you are, soaking up your delicious victory as you focus all your hate into a little brat that's just insulted you for the last time, when the only man you've ever trusted steps in close behind you, placing his hands on you with firm grip on your shoulder and your left buttock. You're feeling more than one kind of electricity spark tonight. He lifts you into the air as you begin to recall the romantic scene when Patrick Swayze lifts Jennifer Grey. Before you can say, "Not now, my Lord Vader," he tosses you into the reactor of your own galactic conquering device. Now, that'll de-ignite your lightsaber real fast.

Selfish passion is unquenching.
What strength have you when you are a slave to your passions?
What power without strength of character?
To self centered rage, you will be chained.
The dark side is no victory.

The long path to peace is through balanced emotions.
The first step to gaining knowledge is recognizing your own ignorance.
Serenity is patient, not passionate satisfaction.
Find harmony by understanding chaos.
Become one with the force, which will never die.

Did the Sith Knights under Revan's Sith Empire have the title of Darth, or did they simply use their real names?

One would naturally assume that falling might be a good focus breaker, and that the lightning would have ceased. But he continues firing aaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllll the way down.

-1 for the laugh.

Undecided But Sidious is a survivor. I doubt he would waste time pitching a fit. That's Vader's shtick. Maybe it's just that good ol' Sith tenacity. I'm not going to stop my attack from a mere hiccup.

I like your thinking on the first part. However, Sidious trusted no one. Especially Vader. The Emperor ruled through fear. So the less you had to fear from him, the greater the liability you were. Vader would have had the greatest chances at direct resistance, ergo he was the greatest threat to Sidious' reign. Haven't read, but I've heard that Lords of the Sith highlights their relationship, and how Sidious gave him sub-par prosthetics so that he would be more easily managed.

Did the Sith Knights under Revan's Sith Empire have the title of Darth, or did they simply use their real names?
I don't believe the title of Darth was ever freely handed out (until Saber Forum Roll Eyes). It designated a certain level of skill as well as dedication. Similar to the Sith Acolytes not being at the same level as a Sith Lord.

In the Bane trilogy, Darth Bane reasoned that the Brotherhood of Darkness was actually afraid of the title, and what kind of power it represented. When Bane embraced his destiny as the Sith'ari, he reinstated the title's use, as he would make sure it was bestowed only upon the worthy.

Much appreciated Lord Logos. My character that I cosplay as is a Sith Knight and I needed to know if I needed a Darth title as well.

Won't make much difference. People will see a red saber and immediately call you Darth. Tongue

However, I'm not as up to snuff on Revan-era TOR.

They weren't even Sith. Revan and Malak were the only Sith in the known galaxy at that time. The "Sith" under their command were Dark Jedi.

Not so. The Sith existed in what was then called the Unknown Regions; areas of the galaxy previously uncharted by the Republic. Revan and Malak's wills were usurped by the most powerful evil the galaxy had ever known: Emperor Vitiate. Revan's forces were then used as a litmus test to gauge the strength of the Republic and the Jedi. Almost 300 years later, the Sith Empire showed its face and declared war against the Republic. (SWTOR)

The Sith go back at least 20,000 BBY. Revan didn't show up until roughly 3500 BBY.

Fair enough. Same point though really, just different names.

Republic didn't know about the Sith in the Unknown Regions. Hence my saying "known galaxy".
