Gauging characters power thru their deaths?

Would you guys find this as a semi reliable comparison? Example would be how Palpatines first death brought back balance to the Force, Ragnos death causing ripples in the Force, and C'baoths death blasting thru the side of a mountain. Ofc not every character has a such an illustrious death but was wondering your guys' thoughts.

Awesome, Tenebrae's death sent a shockwave through the cosmic Force that was felt by all Force sensitives and was capable of knocking them out, ones even as strong as Satele Shan tier. His death also automatically healed two entire voids in the Force.

He never actually died though, he ascended into a disembodied form using a ritual. Weak bait is weak.

It was contained in a wall of light and destroyed, of course nothing important happened.

Plagueis definitely had the most overt effect upon his death, with him rearranging the orbits of celestial bodies by manipulating dark matter across the galaxy. The reason I don't think Sidious' was of the same magnitude was because he retained his consciousness and all his power the first two times, and during the third he was in an extremely compromised condition and his spirit was forcefully dragged back to Chaos by every Jedi ever rather than explosively dissolving into the cosmos.

The irony here is inexplicable.

Given the consequences of him literally causing orbits to destabilise, there's no irony at all. Keep fishing, I'm sure you'll use better bait.

If I was attempting to bait you I’d have dumbed the insult down, seeing as that went right over your head.

Quite frankly the prose of the Plagueis prologue sounds anything but figurative, but I'd agree that in the greater context of the story it's difficult to explain why this wasn't some sort of major storyline where everyone wonders why celestial orbits suddenly altered on a galactic scale.

In either case, Sidious and Plagueis's deaths seem to have the greatest cosmic impact.

^^

Yeah, depends on whether you value grandiose physical alteration over less tangible cosmic influence.

The Emperor's death restored balance to an omnipresent cosmic energy field from which all others derive their power, so I'm going with that.

Up^^^^

Though plagueis/Valk is debatable.
Sidious reigns supreme.

Side Note, Lukes presence literally made stars brighter(aka made them exert more energy)

In Luke's imagination, he could read their individual spectra the way he might recognize a human face: they looked tired, and old, and far apart, burning themselves out in the endless Dark.
But he, too, was a star, and the light that shone from him was the Force.
Each and every distant star on which he fixed his attention, however dim it was, instantly brightened as his light fed its own. They drew near, attracted by his energy, captured by his gravitational field, growing ever brighter as they approached, burning hotter, giving off bursts of exotic particles like gusts of delighted laughter. They fell into orbit around him, becoming a new system of infinite complexity wheeling through the Dark in joyous dance.”
