Hall Hood on Valkorion's Power and his Force Storm

I was on Twitter and noticed this conversation:

Valkorion used a focused and controlled Force Storm against Arcann, not an FLS. Hall Hood also professes that he believes Valkorion is equal in power to Dark Empire Palpatine.

Of course it was a Force Storm? What else would it be? There was lighting going all over the place. Though he's kinda wrong on the bit about Palps, because he has several instances where he's precise and controlling of his power.

He only said it was more destructive and on a mass scale, whereas Valkorion's was a focused and controlled attack on Arcann.

I get the impression he was referring to Palpatine's wormhole, there.

Valk clearly didn't use the Force Storm Palps did, there's no similarities at all between the two. Valk's attack was more like the Force Storm Lighting, it was nothing close to a wormhole or anything.

He makes it clear he's using the same thing as Palpatine, it's just more focused and controlled.

Well, Force Storms are supposed to be an extension of the Force Maelstrom, so it could be a power distantly related lightning/tk. In any case, while they may not have been the same, Palpatine's lightning has never worked on a larger scale than Valkorion's so it wouldn't make sense otherwise either.

It really doesn't appear at all to be the same when you compare the two.

Though as New pointed out, there's similarities with the maelstrom thing and lighting so that could still apply.

It's also nice to see the Lead Writer's clear intentions for Valkorion's power, he's the Reborn Palpatine of his era.

Hall Hood*

He says that Sidious' was on a mass scale but Valkorion's variant was controlled and focused by comparison.

Huh...also saying they kept his powers a mystery...for whatever reason, not sure why but ok. I'm not really seeing the mystery aspect of his powers.

Because he is not just anothe dark sider, he uses the Force on a whole regardless of the affiliation of his prowess.

Ok...but he's still using TK, he's still using Force Lighting, and other powers we already know of. Soo....what's so mysterious about the powers he uses?

That's obvious, though. He's always been the most blatant copy/paste of Palpatine in the mythos, by far. It'd be strange if this wasn't the intention.

But yeah, it was pretty obvious he was suppose to be Palps for the TOR era.

Yes, but now we have confirmation.

So I think my ranking is:

Valkorion = Reborn Palpatine

SWTOR Vitiate = ROTJ Palpatine

Novel Vitiate = Between TPM and ROTS Palpatine.

I find it great that the writers were considering DE when working on KOTET.

You'd think they'd look past that, but it seems major inspiration came from there.

I think putting DE Palpatine alongside Valkorion only makes sense.

Neither the DE writers nor the SWTOR writers believe Palpatine to be far more powerful than Valkorion, so we're just lying to ourselves if we think Palpatine is untouchable.
