If the Statue of Liberty were to begin falling, which characters would be able to completely stop it with the force , before it hit the ground?:

For the purposes of this thread we'll assume the Statue has tipped to the horizontal/90 degree mark before they attempt to stop it, thus its full weight must be halted...

*According to Google, the Statue is ~300' tall and weighs ~220 tons.


1. Canon only.
2. Legends included.

Give Darth Bane a nexus and he can

Legends: Honestly, Jedi Master level and above should be able to pull off the feat based on Rivi Anu's showing against the Star Destroyer.

Canon: Yoda seemed to be struggling with the machinery in AotC, so I'm not sure he (or Palpatine) could handle the statue. Maybe TFA Luke?

Yoda appearing to struggle with that pillar is what made me curious about this. Unless said pillar was constructed of the heaviest material in the galaxy, and inextricably had gargantuan mass/weight relative to its size, then I can't imagine him being able to catch the SoL in the same manner... And if HE can't catch it, it's hard to imagine anyone else in canon catching it.

But I'm also not familiar with many characters/feats outside of the films and animated TV show, so I wasn't sure.

Depends on who is writing the scene.

I don't know if Legends Ventress level can do, to be honest. I'm probably missing something, though.

Stop it? Not lift it or manipulate it in complex ways? Just stop it from falling? Any random Jedi Master should suffice.

Yep, I just want to know which characters can stop the SoL before it hits the ground whilst falling.

Can you post feats indicative of "any" random Jedi or Sith Master stopping an object of that size/weight in freefall?

If so, is that canon or Legends?

Here's a scan from Legends. ^

Sniped.

Revan can't. Rahm Kora can.

This is freaking bizarre for a random Jedi, assuming it isn't edited.

It's not. I posted those scans above as well.

Here is the entire scene for context:

-Clone Wars Adventures v6 - To The Vanishing Point (2006)

Thanks for the scans. Now, it's obviously a heroic event and not something she could pull at will. She probably even bordered a brief moment of oneness there.

Wow that is an insane feat. I agree that it is definitely an outlier as it pretty much eclipses most other TK feats in the mythos, but it's still awesome.

It being one of the best feats doesn't make it an outlier. That is fan fiction.

So you think she was capable of stopping a free-falling Star Destroyer any time she wanted? If so, she is evidently the most powerful force user in the mythos. If not, it's an one-off outlier. The latter certainly seemed to be the intent IMO.

Yeah it makes more sense to say any Jedi Master is capable of that shit

Yep. It reads like it's some one with the Force moment akin to Ganner annihilating hundreds of Vong. People put way too much stock in it.

Palpatine and Vader certainly could based on their feats in the comics and books. I'd expect Yoda would be capable of it as well. Heck, Kanan stopped a cave-in in A New Dawn so he (and therefore many others) should be able to do so.

If almost every Jedi Master has that level of power, then the Jedi on Geonosis must've been drunk or something.

Also if it's really that possible for your average Jedi Master, than surely Ki-Adi would've bolstered her efforts and saved her instead of leaving... or shit he could've taken the initiative and done that shit himself.

Eh, I wasn't really considering those comics / novels in my response.

I'm not sure how to reconcile Yoda in AotC against Vader holding up the AT-AT.

Edit: Ninja'd. That was meant for DMB, tbh.

An average Jedi Master would get ****ing crushed by the Statue of Liberty, LMFAO.

Yoda is severely overrated. Struggles to lift a pillar, lift an x-wing, throw around senate pods.

In canon probably few aside from The Ones, oneness Anakin,

Legends is too inconsistent

OT: Anyone Maul level and above should be able to stop it's fall, for sure. Well, in Legends anyone. Canon is a bit tricky, but Vader and Force sensitives above should be able to.

He seemed to struggle with collapsing landing gear under an ETA class shuttle.

Being capable of destroying a barrack as a child he obviously gained a substantial amount of power since that time], ragdolling Kenobi who has feats in the 100 ton range], scaling from various others characters, etc.


Also, by OT, I meant "On Topic".

It should be a Ventress+ range feat, going by pure speculation.

Movie only Jedi power is different and vastly inferior to even the more modest levels of showing in either the new, disney canon or the old, Legends canon. Mace Windu from the 2002 Clone wars show for example would have solo'd the droids in the geonosian arena.

No but even for legends the implication that your average Jedi Master can hold up a star destroyer is ****ing retarded.

Kanan level and up should be capable of stopping the State of Liberty in the manner depicted.

It depends what you consider "consistent" for Legends I guess. Even TCW CGI Plo Koon has a feat that would let him lift the Statue easily, so does Kanan and Ezra with that metoer feat in Rebels and that's disney canon.

Too inconsistent showings. #caseclosed

Yet we use these showings anyway in debates so..also the SOL weighs 225 tons. Soo..

It's just Kurk being Kurk again.

1. mmm

2. Vaylin

You really think the difference between standard Force users and the higher levels is that big Legend?

Implying Vaylin is high level and not just standard.

Nah he lifted the X-Wing pretty easily, while teaching us "Size matters not"..

And he stalemated the guy who was throwing around Senate Pods easily.


Films so far though haven't been uber with TK Feats.
