nikka held on for what seemed like 45 seconds 
Someone explain. And don’t say it was to make Anakin feel bad for him.

Why did Palpatine keep zapping himself with Force Lightning after Windu deflected it back?

Imo once you build up that charge you have to release it. Yoda was goat enough to absorb it but the emperor was all offense.
plus it was keeping mace light saber out of his chest still.

Really puts Yoda’s power in perspective, as well as Palpatine’s. Yoda just casually brushed off Dooku’s lightning but could barely hold on when Palpatine hit him with it. GOAT shyt.
He was legit trying to kill Mace and thought he would eventually overpower him. He told him he would kill him in front of Anakin, so he didn't care that Anakin saw that part.
Then he switched plans and pretended to lose his powers because Mace was winning.
It's quite straight forward, people complicated it because they couldn't fathom that Mace got the drop on him. George had to come out TWICE to confirm that Mace is on that level and legit pulled his card.

The force lightning was the only thing keeping Windu's lightsaber from slicing him in half.
Being disfigured > sliced in half by a lighstaber
He wasn't disfigured that was his true appearance being exposed, which is why his eyes changed as well
nothing in star wars is explained well, I studied it trying to figure out why it was so successful because he has nothing to do with the story or the writing because they are both terrible
But in the scene he wasn't disfigured his real appearance is like that because of years of using the dark side and he said it was disfigured to appear a victim to the public
nobody else who got hit with force lighting was ever disfigured, he was fukking luke up with that shyt and he didn't even get burned

The novelization goes into more detail. What Palps was throwing at Windu was so powerful, it was bending the blade of his lightsaber back into a curb towards Windu's face to where it was starting to singe his nose hairs and eyebrows. The lightning actually did make his face like that. Mace used Vaapad (his special fighting style) which turned the Force Lightning back on to Palps. I can tell you one thing, how Palps killed Tiin, Kolar and Fisto, in the novelization, was a lot more savage that what they showed in the movie.
@Master Teacher Luke was fukked up from the aftermath of the Throne Room according to the old G canon that included the movies, novelizations and radio plays. He had to recover in a bacta tank for two weeks from those jolts according to the ROTJ radio play.
After the Mouse bought out Lucasfilm, they made it (ROTS novelization and old radio plays) non-canon.

lmao he was completely fine, he carried vader through the dark star and was completely normal on the celebration afterwards, those books are trash and don't count
Sidious wasn't even scared, he his old and decrepit not scarred or burned, that's is true form, which is why he had the yellow eyes

They did count. G Canon was always the movies, the screenplays, the novelizations and the radio plays, in that order, until Disney took over. That's out of George Lucas's own mouth.
I just listened to the Revenge Of The Sith director's commentary on the DVD, Lucas pretty much alluded to the lightning being the catalyst for Palps' deformity. The only Sith and alcolytes you never see with Sith eyes are Dooku, Asajj Ventress and the Fifth Brother of the Inquisitorius. Maul, Savage Oppress, Vader, the Grand Inquistor, the Seventh Sister of the Inquisitorius and the Brother from Mortis all had them. You get Sith eyes when you truly embrace the Dark Side. Slaughering all the Jedi in the temple weren't enough for Vader. It was only when he finished off the Separatists on Mustafar did he get his as he entered the room right before he killed Wat Tambor, Rune Haako and Nute Gunrey.
Sith eyes are actually yellow surrounded by red.

Commentary of Luke being diagnosed with calcification from being hit with Force Lightning:
"Sir, my diagnosis is sudden and massive calcification of your skeletal structure, of the rare type brought on by severely conductive exposure to electrical and other energy fields." - Medical Droid 2-1B.

The lightning was the catalyst for his deformity and also revealed his “sith eyes”?
He was forced to reveal himself. And being the smart guy he is he was able to flip it into looking like a weak bytch to trick Lil Annie.
