Hey, it's my 7000 post!
Hyperbole? Uhhh, no it's a direct statement in REGARDS TO COMBAT. And Yoda's still called the most powerful force of light that's ever lived up to that point
Are you referring to the statement from the NEGtC? If so, then know that I have read and that I know full well that it is not specifically referring to combat.
Prove no other Jedi has greater skills? He was the foremost fighter and master of the golden age of fighting and is declared the strongest and fiercest enemy the darkness had EVER known. Proven.
Notice that "had ever known". It is not referring to those who came after him. If it was, it would say "ever knew". There is a MASSIVE difference between the two.
The foremost fighter of an age of fighting? The Jedi are AGAINST fighting, hence a Golden Age for the Jedi would be a time that had as little fighting as possible.
Yeah, don't use 'blew up a star', because Kun did no such thing. And that freezing thing? Exceeded. That's all Kun has going for him.
No it isn't. I found the post and I'll put it lower in my post.
In other words: "I can use totally unsupported numbers just because I want to!"
They are supported. If you're to blind to see that it's your problem, not mine.
And *Yawn* Raynar stronger than Sidious, who was channeling the entire Dark Side. try again.
Do you have a source for this ****?
And I'll fail? You're trying tos ay "The strongest foe the darkness had ever known.' is nothing but exaggeration when put in several official sources.
Which were?
we look at the difference between ROTJ Sidious and DE Sidious we can see pretty well what the difference is, meaning what the additional power gained from the planet did to him. Sort of at least.
The most powerful feat that we see Sidious do it in ROTS when he lifts three of the Senate Pods into the air high above his head. There is only one way to do this that I can think of. You guessed it, math and science.
BTW, rather then just labeling this pseudoscience like I know you will try to do, prove it wrong if you can.
Lets say that each Senate Pod weighs 150 metric tons. Obviously this is an extremely generous estimate, as thats far more then even a main battle tank. Lets also say that Sidious raised the pods 300 meters into the air. Again, this is extremely generous in YOU"RE favor. And then lets say that he raised the pods to the entire distance in a single second.
So, ROTS Sidious was able to move 150 metric tons with an acceleration of 300 meters per second.
Let's just plug these numbers into the formula: F = m*a
150,000 * 300 = 45,000,000 newtons of force behind that lift. That is a lot.
^The reason that it is 150,000 rather then 150 is because the kilogram is the base unit, not the metric ton.
This equates to 45,000,000 watts as well, as it was done over the course of a single second. Very impressive.
However, DE Sidious has one feat which is FAR more impressive.
Any of the following in bold is a direct quote from stardestroyer.net, which is a very reliable source. But don't take my word for it, check it out yourself.
If ISDs carry 200 Turbolasers (as suggested by blueprints), then they must average around 2.5 million terawatts of sustained firepower per cannon. Of course, there are different sized cannons, some releasing less power than this, and some more.
The common belief is that ISDs carry 60 turbolasers. This is very conservative, since 64 cannons are mounted immediately lateral to the command superstructure alone, with scores covering the rest of the hull. However, if we assume there are only 60 cannons, then they must average around 8 million terawatts of firepower each.
^ quoted from the turbolasers commentary section, under the firepower page. If you want to see all of the proof behind it, it's there.
Since 200 turbolasers appears to be the actual number for the number of turbolasers, we'll go with each turbolaser having an output of 2.5 million terrawats.
In the opening scene of AHN we see approximately 25 turbolaser blasts fired from an ISD in 5 seconds. That equates to 5 shots per second.
We see in ROTJ that the Mon Calamari cruisers were able to go 30 minutes before their shields started to fail.
Lets add the above up.
2.5 terrawatts * 5 shots per second = 12.5 terrawatts of fire taken by the shields EVERY SINGLE SECOND.
The cruisers were able to survive for 1,800 seconds before their shields started to fail. From this we can discover how much energy the shields were capable of absorbing.
12,500,000,000,000 watts * 1,800(seconds) = 2.25e+16 watts
2.25e+16 watts means 22,500,000,000,000,000 watts of energy. That is a LOT.
Now, to find out how much more powerful DE Sidious is then ROTS Sidious, we look at how much enery Sidious would have generate in the same amount of time, ASSUMING THAT SIDIOUS WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP UP THE MAXIMUM BURTS OF ENERGY FOR AN ENTIRE HALF ON WITHOUT REST!! This is extremely in YOUR favor, as the chance of Sidious being able to keep up the maximum burts of energy that we seen from him for an entire half hour is practically zero.
45,000,000watts(the amount of power Sidious produced, as calculated above) * 1,800(seconds) = 81,000,000,000 watts
Since DE Sidious destroyed a fleet with his force storms, we can calculate that how much stronger DE SIdious was then ROTS Sidious.
22,500,000,000,000,000 watts - 81,000,000,000 watts = 2.2499919e+16 watts
2.2499919e+16 = (rounded) 22,499,920,000,000,000 watts.
That is a huge difference in energy.
But wait, there's more.
22,499,920,000,000,000 watts * 375 planets = 8.43747e+18 watts
8.43747e+18 watts = 8,437,470,000,000,000 watts
Notice that the above calculations are based on the idea that DE Sidious only destroyed a single Mon Calamari Cruiser with his force storms. The actual number would be several times higher, as he took on an entire fleet of them.
Notice that I have been extremely generous in your favor throughout proving the power of 375 planets. If you can, prove me wrong. The proof is there, stardestroyer.net.
But what does the above number mean? A lot really. We just have to put it into perspective with Exar.
If we look at Exar's instakill, which you parade around as being able to blast through walls, we will so learn who was more powerful, Raynar or Exar.
Since I don't know through how much of the Temple Exar's blast went through, I am going to assume that he blasted through a rectangular prism that is 10 meters tall, 10 meters wide, and a hundred meters deep and made of iron with such force that he vaporised the entire cube.
He(Wong) states that, to cause flashes that large, the weapons must have vaporised at least one cubic meter of armor. If so, and we assume that the Death Star is made of iron; the four X-Wing cannons output approximately 60 GJ of energy.
So, we can see from this that a block of iron that is one meter long will take 60 GJ of energy to vaporize. If it is done in one second, it will equal 60 GW. If it is done in a tenth of a second it will take 600 GW.
The rectangle that I mentioned Exar blasting through with enough force to vaporise has a mass that is 10,000 times greater then a one meter long cube. 10 * 10 = 100. 100 * 100 = 10,000.
So, we take 600 GW and multiply it by 10,000 and we get 6e+15watts. If he did it very quickly, that number could easily become 6e+18 watts.
6e+18 = 6,000,000,000,000,000,000 watts
To find out which blast is more powerful the the other and by how much, we'll take Raynar's power figure and divide it by Kun's.
8,437,470,000,000,000,000 watts / 6,000,000,000,000,000,000 watts = 1.406245
This shows that Raynar had roughly 40% more power then Exar did. Don't forget that Luke overpowered Raynar.
Prove me wrong if you can.
