Palpatine Lightning and Lightsaber Heroes

Question

Talk started to appear yesterday evening about Palpatine, his lightning attack and lightsaber heroes.Just wanted to clear some things up:

Lightsaber heroes blocking lightning is not a bug, this is intended.
There is a bug where blocking lightning doesn't reduce stamina, this will be fixed in the next update.
We are doing some further checks into the lightning locking onto the blocker, but believe this should also be fixed in the next update as well.

Just wanted to give you a heads up, mostly that lightsaber heroes&nbsp;CAN&nbsp;block Palpatine's lightning attack.

Did I miss something? Haven't lightsaber wielders always been able to block his lightening? Or are you referring to chain lightening (left ability)?&nbsp;

I have noticed a strange effect, while playing Luke. I could not move when I was blocking emperor's lightning. Happened to me once, and it was not his ability, just the regular attack lightning.
