Cool, same difference i.e. infinitely greater in destructive magnitude than ripping something into chunks, and to the point at which the integrity of the ship becomes irrelevant.
You're daft, my friend.
First of all, this comparison is absolutely silly and ill-advised.
On one end, we have a gigantic structure composed entirely of huge plates of durasteel.*
On the other end, we have a machine housing a billion components inside its exterior.
*One can only tear this kind of structure apart.
**One can reduce a machine into a billion parts or such because its composition is like that. Vitiate reduced T3-M4 droid into a billion pieces as well, to give you an idea.

The ship was not remotely close to obliteration, so yes, yes he could. Try to understand that if you are capable of generating sufficient force to reduce an object to dust, whether or not it has cracks in it ceases to become of any relevance.
Here:
With his mind and all the power of the Force, Starkiller embraced what remained of the frigate beneath him-and blew it into a billion pieces.

Take a look what a spacecraft has inside:

Countless parts in just that segment.
Emphasis mine. Starkiller did not reduce the remainder of the Starship to dust but simply disintegrated it. More importantly, the vessel would have comprised of countless components beneath its exterior, making the act of disintegration not anything extraordinary.
And the Starship was clearly falling apart before that:
With a bone-jarring crack, the spine connecting fore and aft sections of the frigate snapped clean through. Starkiller reached out with the Force, trying desperately to keep the two pieces together, but nothing could be done. They were already moving on slightly different trajectories. Air and debris sprayed from the great wound that separated them, providing entirely unpredictable thrust.
Groaning, juddering, the fore section began to lift again. Starkiller didn't fight it. With so much mass already stripped from it, the damage it would do when it hit was negligible. The rear was the priority. The heavy engines and main reactor continued powering forward on the trajectory it had originally been following. Was that the right trajectory or not? Starkiller anxiously studied its fall, projecting it forward to the best of his senses.

Starship did not accomplish anything extraordinary in this case. Case closed.

An arbitrary assertion that needs no addressing, lel.
Or in other words you're grasping for shitty excuses.
She ripped off the front plating of a portion of a structure, if your going to nitpick Starkiller's feat at least be honest about your own.
Apart from that instance in which he obliterated a much larger object.
See above.

Yoda >> Starkiller. mmm
Has Yoda disintegrated a frigate? mmm

Yes I'm sure. Still much smaller than a 40-50 story section of a frigate that's about 20 stories in width and 13 stories high, by Ant's own estimations, and she only destroyed a fraction of it.
But here's a recreated image for you:

Not remotely as sizeable, even if she had TK'ed the entire building.
Even that segment was far from being fully intact before Starkiller disintegrated it from within.
Nonetheless, absolutely ill-advised comparison.

That power core that was smaller than the aforementioned frigate and she didn't blow into a billion pieces? OK.
See above.

Sure he does. Perhaps make a thread and we can poll the general opinion.
He does.
In-fact, I would contend that the original Galen Marek was relatively stronger.

No Yoda is more powerful for doing a much better job of it and surviving the encounter.
Save the witty rejoiners for those with more than half a wit darling.
Really?
1. Galen Marek was up against a relatively stronger incarnation of Palpatine.
2. Marek - while enduring the Force lightning - was able to close the gap between him and his opponent, subjecting the opponent to his own power.
3. Amidst the struggle, Marek saw his allies in danger and decided to save them rather than contend with Palpatine.
Sorry, my friend. I am not convinced.

I'm glad to here that. But sadly, you haven't proven Vaylin can manage it comfortably at all.
And I'm guessing you missed my response on the preivous page, but that's OK. There's nothing for you to add but concessions anyway.
Vaylin is actually overkill for that showing.
Concession should actually come from you for drawing silly comparisons and misinterpreting various developments.
