The only difference between them and normal beings was that they were cut off from the force by their own homeplanet a long time ago.
And everything you've mentioned is different from other individuals since it's the offspring of use of the Dark Side. So I still can say that Exar Kun's amulet only works against beings that have something to do with the dark side. Of course that doesn't make much sense.
Really? Is that why you insist upon the Vong being entirely immune to the force, such as being resistant to lightning and telekinesis.
If they were only "cut off" from the force, they could still be thrown around with the force just like a rock or any other physical object.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. On-panel exhibition demonstrates that the Vong are substantially different, especially in the ways they respond to the force.
You still didn't understand it ? It's Vongsense that enables Jedi to use the force directly against them. Luke couldn't do that and therefore it's completely impossible for him to develop a force technique that only affects Vong - because he couldn't affect them directly.
You're the one that's misunderstanding here. You have not established that there was any physical nature of the ability.
No. That's the only logical conclusion left since Luke couldn't use the force directly on the Vong which includes "target specific Vong functions". He couldn't do it. And there aren't any "specific Vong functions" as well as their aren't no "specific Sith spirit functions" or "specific Sith beast functions".
Yes there is. The Sith beasts presumably would also have musculature and nervous systems. However, they were simply vaporized by the blast.
Unless you're saying there is something special about Luke to prevent his skin and body structure from being vaporized we're done here.
I was comparing force powers to force powers. Do you see any SI units here ? No ?
You said, "physical force."
Again, never was "The Force" ever correlated with anything "physical" about it, some manifestations have physical affects, which you, conveniently, failed to establish here.
LOL. Can you please keep a little bit consistency in your statements ? It was you who started saying that force lightning as well as "emerald lightning" are physical manifestations of the force and not me. So you have two possible choices:a) Both are physical manifestations of the force.
Then still force lightning wasn't enough to stop Vong when Luke's Emerald lightning instakilled one. That means Luke's emerald lightning generated much more energy than force lightning. Period.
b) Both aren't physical manifestations of the force.
In this case Luke managed to use an instakill attack on a being that should be completely immune to all kinds of force attacks unless they are done by somebody having Vongsense (which Luke didn't have). And even people with Vongsense didn't manage to instakill Vong.
And in both cases Luke would be able to use the attack on other beings than Vong. Period
No, please read, I said the Vong were not immune to physical manifestations of the force. So if Luke's lightning was a physical manifestation of the force, it would be no more difficult to block than other physical manifestations, which Kun has shown to be able to do.
Also, your second assumption is BS. You're still using the same rhetoric that since Luke could instakill A, he could instakill B.
Okay. Since Vader could kill a non-force user with choke, he could kill Ragnos. Bring logic into your debate, or sit down.
So tell me, how did Luke manage to instakill a Vong? He didn't drain them like Traya, they weren't part of the force to begin with. He didn't choke them like Kun, as you keep trying to play the Vong are immune to all force attacks.
Wait, you have no idea WTF Luke's emerald sparks even are, but they will work on Kun? They will work on Ragnos? They will work on Artoo? Honestly, where are you getting this shit?
You dare to lecture me about how to debate and then come up with false premises and logical fallancy at it's best ?
I like for you to point out the false premises, you're the one bringing them.
And yes, I'll continue to lecture you how to debate for as long as you keep showing that you suck at debating.
a) Kun's blasts are different from turbolaser fire
He used it like turbolaser fire. It doesn't matter if it's force energy or energy coming from a generator. Energy is energy no matter where it comes from. And yes...a blaster / turbolaser shot has "matter" in form of energized gas turned into plasma but that hardly matters talking about energy absorbation / deflection.
Bullshit. All energy is the same?
Is that why I can stop a magnetic attack with a magnet, but I can't stop an electrical attack in that same manner?
Is that why I can stop an electrical attack with a conductive cage, but I can't stop a light attack in that manner?
Is that why I can stop a light attack with a mirror, but I can't stop a magnetic attack in that same manner?
Please, keep consistent and learn physics. Different forms of energy have different properties. Different properties mean different manners to deal with them. Different manners to deal with them mean that the premise for your argument must be DIFFERENT.
Capiesch? Or do you want it broken down further?
Oh, and I guess you failed to mention that plasma is a form of matter. Ergo, it would be far easier to stop a plasma attack than a purely energy/magical based attack.
Much more destructive compared to what ? If Kun's amulet blasts were more destructive than fire from a stardestroyer or an AT-AT he would have vaporized anything he hit with it - which he didn't.
They did vaporize what he hit. The Sith Beast had his entire body completely vaporized, and the blast kept on going.
Again Illustrious. Why don't you just read what I write ?
Because I did, and you spewed more nonsensical garbage.
You: If A works on B, A must work on C.
WTF? Please.
You: If A is energy, and B is energy, A = B.
WTF? Please.
You: Vong are simply cut off from the force, that is the only difference.
.... (2 paragraphs latter) Vong are completely IMMUNE to the force.
Really? I don't see a rock being immune to the force. If I shoot lightning at a machine, it'll still break, Vong don't. So there goes your OWN DAMN ARGUMENT. Good job.
Luke blocked more destructive things than Kun's amulets. Luke blocked stronger force attacks than that (unless you want to tell me that Kun's amulet is equal to the power 375 planets filled with beings including multiple Jedi / Dark Jedi).
Good lord. I've asked this before, and I will ask you again:
Quantify the damn power of these 375 planets. Do force power stack? Do they add linearly? Logarithmically? Power? Exponentially? How do they correlate into SI units?
My god, you spew this "375 planets" like it actually means something. Last I checked, force attacks weren't measured in "planets," so it's a moot point.
Also, they quantify that he was able to "join" with the collective minds of the Killiks, so how does this quantify that he gains all of their collective force potential? Did it ever say it was Force Illumination again? No, I don't believe so.
And nothing here can be established with any certainty but talking about "bias" - look at the way you argue against Luke's emerald lightning and tell me that I'm biased again.
Yes, you are arguing that Luke will be able to block Kun's attacks and Kun can't block Luke's.
So wait, I'm biased? Good lord, Nai, if you are going to be this nonsensical, there is zero point to continue this argument.

I still don't understand how you CANNOT compare an AT-AT blast to Kun's. As I've stated previously the only thing Kun's blast was effective on was a spirit and a few animals, great.. Like Borbarad said an energy blast is an energy blast so if Luke can block 1 instance of an energy blast it is LOGICAL to assume he can block another one, while nothing points to Kun blocking emerald lightning.
Read above. Different forms of energy require different methods of handling. Basic physics will tell you as much.
