Thanks for that well thought-out and accurate reply.
Number of opponents killed / ko'd permanently by Yoda's TK: Zero.
Not effective.
Ah. Yes. Didn't remember that correctly.
Which doesn't matter much, since Revan is most definetely capable of redirecting attacks coming from himself, being hurled back at him. Anything else doesn't make much sense.
Which didn't happen. A rather bad description of the fight, doesn't overwrite its depiction in the movie material. Movie > all other sources.
Yeah. Because Yoda is known for utilizing a fast repetition of telekinetic attacks against opponents. I must have understood the movies wrong, where he hardly ever uses the Force for attacks. And, of course, in the context of a fight, where people expect to be attacked with the Force, Revan wouldn't attempt any kind of defense - or attack first, seeing he is going up against a Jedi.
Yeah. I like learning new words. I hope you aren't referring to "ipsedixitism" though, since that is so 2007.
And, gosh. Nice way to totally gloss over the point.
Adding polish after the glossing? Nice...
Your personal opinion is rather insignificant.
I wonder what you bring this up for. We're not dealing with the general properties of kyber crystals or their weaponized applications, but with the explosion in question. Which doesn't even remotely compare to the other applications you sited.
But there we encounter the next weak point in your argument: You do recognize the difference between an omnidirectional explosion (the one Vader survived) and energy channeled onto one spot (like Valkorion's lightning)? Apparently not...
An explosion destributes energy equally outwards from its source. So only a fraction of it would have hit Vader at all. A very small fraction as a matter of fact, provided where most of the energy was going (upwards, being channeled through the structure) and where Vader was located at the point in time.
Again: One needs to wonder, why you even site different events. We're a judging the explosion as it happens in the clip you've provided. I don't see much evidence for that being stronger than the stuff Valkorion was unleashing. And once again you're attempting to compare apples (focused lightning beams on a single target) to oranges (an omnidirectional explosion).
Urm. Can you read? I'm just asking, because you completely missed the point.
I will try to explain it in a fashion more suited for you.
1)
Valkorion unleashes force lightning. This is, basically, 100 percent of what he can do.
2)
Arcann tanks most of the attack. The exact amount that he takes is, of course, unknown, but anything short of 50 percent would imply a pointless waste of energy on Valkorion's side, so let us go with that.
3)
That means that at most 50 percent of Valkorion's total lightning strength passes around Arcann. This is still enough to create a lightning storm the size of a rather large building outside the Spar.
4)
A fraction of that 50 percent (a total of 2 to 5 percent maybe) is enough to bypass shields / armor of a spaceship and kill the crew. Although there seem to be more ships being hit if we go by Scorpio's comment on the situation.
So the point isn't that Vitiate down spaceships with his lightning, but that he does so with a fraction of his lightning, that wasn't hitting the intended target.
I would think that bringing the same long debunked bullshit to the table every time gets boring. Apparently, it doesn't.
