Maybe what's happening here is that I so violently reject that awful bit of
Lucas technobabble that I'm unable to accept it as part of an explanation. Ugh.

Bite your tongue, sir! I would never willingly choose pan-and-scan over
widescreen! Anyway, it looked to me like the lightning was simply grounding
out in Vader, as well as elsewhere. Even when the Emp was zapping Luke,
every single bolt didn't hit Luke; many grounded out in the railing and
other miscellaneous knicknacks in the vicinity.

Hmm. I don't recall it being stated that way (ie, no one said "he'll swing
us back from the Dark Side), but I guess that might have appeared in one of
the "canonical" novels. Anyway, why would they even perceive an imbalance,
if no one knew about the Sith until Maul on Tattooine? Where did they think
all the Dark Side power came from?
Dave!
After we get this bit sorted out, we can discuss how ridiculous it is to
believe that Amidala would ever in a million years fall for that raving,
mass-murdering sociopath.
