Then why in the other thread you kept yammering that yoda could disarm exars amulet? A powerful force user could do that, Its like saying "omg cuz vader snatched solos blaster means solo is a pussy"

Ah...the Nebaris/Lightsnake continues as another sock of Nebaris takes a subtle jab at Lightsnake by enjoying off of other pwnage which LS had to suffer. [Louis Armstrong] WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD....[/Louis Armstrong]

You're not an unskilled flamer? What a wise choice of words Miriam-Webster. Once again, you have no argument as to how one is to block Kun's amulet blasts. "Because they are PT Jedi" doesn't suffice in a logical debate.

All I know is I'm not you and somehow I'm content with that.

And I have offered more evidence than that, thanks.

Come on Lightsnake, go pwn back. U actually gunna take that shit?

Lightsnake dont bother, DS kept yammering that yoda despite being a powerful force user can disarm the amulet on Kun, and now when i mention it, he says nobody can disarm him... Tsk tsk contradictions galore

You have? Wow lightsnake if it helps you sleep at night. And omg you're content that you're not me, that truly hurts. What are you, 11? Grow up, go outside. And Kadesh, Yoda "Disarming" dark side objects was a theory brought up by Nai and I think disproved by Advent.

Actually, when Darth Sexy brought that point up in this thread, I pointed out that there's no such thing, and corrected it for him. He was basing what he said off of one of Nai's posts, which (apparently) contained false or misinterpreted material. So, it's not so much that he's contradicting himself, he merely updated his take on the situation.

So, unless there's a thread after that where Darth Sexy says such things, then - before you call someone out on such things - I'd suggest you do your homework. He made no contradiction, nice try, though.

Considering Yoda's little actions on Daobah, Ds, I don't know what you're trying to get at

Who are you talking to? If you are talking to me, I'm merely pointing out that Darth Sexy wasn't necessarily posting views contrary of what he said before. I wasn't trying to make an argument out of it, but if you want me to, sure.

1. Initially, my point was that Yoda wasn't said to even know Force Light, which can only remove (or lessen) the taint of sites, and destroy dark side spirits. That was contrary to what Nai had said, seeing as it doesn't disarm objects. Now, given that information provide evidence that he can debilitate the uses of Exar Kun's gauntlets by whatever means you seem to think he can do so.

2. What "little actions" did our esteemed muppet do, by the way? Last time I looked over the fence, Dagobah (the Dark side Cave, obviously) was a location/site, so even if he did confine the Bpfasshi Dark Jedi's energies, it's irrelevant seeing as how that's what Force Light is - and it doesn't do shit to objects.

Plus, as far as I know, Yoda didn't do anything; the Dark Jedi retreated to the cave on his/her own, and died there. All Yoda did was mortally wound the dark sider, and I haven't seen any indication that he did anything afterwards; but, if he did, prove up (even though it's still going to be irrelevant).

Mortally wound him? Yoda's apparently killed a Bpfasshi guy several times now-probably easier than decide one instance- and had to confine the energies to the single spot. When he died, presumably, they were in the cave already, or he was outside.

Point in, people throw these amulets around too damn match. There'z zero proof their unblockable, undodgeable and the greatest weapons ever made. They're another obsolete invention by a crappy author the EU's trying to ignore and that's it.

If you want the full argument, you'd have to check with Nai, but the demeaning of Yoda is starting to get a bit frustrating on several ends.

Also, if Force Light removes or lessens the Dark Side taints than, it would logically work on objects as well. Unless such weapons don't carry a Dark Side taint which I find....unlikely. It's just as valid as the amulets being unstoppable, unbeatable killing machines, too

just as much as you throw around your ambiguous quotes. There' zero proof theyre blockable and the burden of proof is on you, which you have failed to defend.

I didnt read further at that time so no need to get alarmed

I know that his Form was not Juyo but what I am saying is that his Saber Form was a "modified" one, which contained bits of Juyo and a few other Saber Forms.

Dooku would give revan a hard time then go down. To make things worse, you said revan is more than twice as powerful as dooku, that would make him lets say 50% stronger than sidious?

How do you know that how powerful is Dooku?

And I never said that Revan > Sidious but he is close indeed.

And how Dooku will give Revan hard time? Do you remember that Malak on Star Forge was Draining several Captured Jedi to replenish his energies to keep him going against Revan and Revan still defeated him. And Revan faced Malak after a long and hard fight with an entire Sith Army and that too did not tire Revan. Dooku cannot compete with Revan buddy!

Give me an example. id say in many cases, yoda > revan and yoda lifted a mountain by the way, far better than what revan has ever done

And when did Yoda lifted an entire mountain? Care to provide me some evidence?

Bull shit. Dooku is nearly as powerful as vader, and vader is nearly as powerful as sidious, you claimed revan is MORE than twice as powerful as sidious. You implied indirectly though you did not realise it that revan > sidious

Heh, "sith army" which came out 3 by 3 and got slaughtered by revan and his entire party and defeated a sith lord who is a inferior and not even half of what sidious is, impressive indeed. Again ignore tha gameplay bullshit, if only 3 people including revan could go out at a time, what the hell were the other 5-6 doing in the ebon hawk? Its a critical battle and thus they would have followed him. so its 9 vs 3 by 3. Not an entire army. And by the way, the "army" consisted of padawans, not masters and thus it would further make it easier for revan and friends to kill them

CW cartoon, Oops try that again please.

S_W_legend, for one thing, quit making shit up about revan, you have no proof and you cant accept that several characters > him

Yeah, I don't think I could've been more clearer. He didn't kill him, according to Leland Chee, the Dark Jedi retreated to the cave, and died there.

Yoda's apparently killed a Bpfasshi guy several times now

What the hell are you talking about, Lightsnake?

probably easier than decide one instance- and had to confine the energies to the single spot.

Funny, I seem to recall a small excerpt from Yoda's entry in the databank. Oh, my, yes. Here it is:

"Another tale of Yoda's past involves stopping a swath of destruction cut by Dark Jedi from Bpfassh. One of these dark siders had gotten as far as Dagobah, were Yoda bested him in direct confrontation. The Bpfasshi Jedi died, his dark Force absorbing into and twisting a nearby tree -- forming a dark side nexus."

-- Starwars.com databank, Yoda.

I could've sworn you just said Yoda confined the energies. Now, either you are lying, or you misinterpreted some materials. There's no third option, because Yoda didn't do anything.

If you believe otherwise, prove up, then (though, I'd believe the databank over any source you give, unless it was a scan). I can see you like to type that this shit happened, but I've yet to see you submit any evidence - whether it be in the form of a scan, or quote. I've already provided mine, and it trumps everything you've been saying.

QED.

When he died, presumably, they were in the cave already, or he was outside.

Irrelevant. What does this have to do with the fact that he didn't do anything to the dark side energy left there?

Point in, people throw these amulets around too damn match. There'z zero proof their unblockable, undodgeable and the greatest weapons ever made. They're another obsolete invention by a crappy author the EU's trying to ignore and that's it.

Lightsnake, I wouldn't be arguing for Exar's amulet beams if they weren't viable in a versus match.

I love how you assume things of which I never stated. I am not "people", so if you are going to address me, don't make a general statement. Personally, I never said that they cannot be blocked (on the contrary, actually. See: this thread), however you'd have to be completely devoid of logical reasonings if you were to assume that every Tom, Dick, and Harry could block them. I find it hard to believe that RotS Sidious - who ran away from a Senate pod - wouldn't try to do the same thing if an amulet beam was fired. Even if one had a defense (for something that no one, short for Sidious, possibly Revan, and possibly Bane knew about), do you really believe they could be continuously blocked?

They are gigantic in magnitude alone, their destructive potential is grave (it is a far more destructive attack than anything the PT Jedi knew), they can be fired rapidly in succession, and "with every pulse of [Kun's] anger the amulet doubles the power of its discharge". I find it nigh improbable that anyone in the entire saga could defend against such things continuously, perhaps Darth Sidious in RotJ, but that's about it.

As for "the greatest weapon ever made", isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? As no one has ever stated such things. They may act as if they are, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't as good as they are hyped up to be.

but the demeaning of Yoda is starting to get a bit frustrating on several ends.

How is anyone debasing Yoda here? Especially from my end. All I said is that he cannot remove Kun's gauntlets from the match. I fail to see how that's taking anything away from him, seeing as he hasn't demonstrated the ability to do such. Plus, you downplay Exar Kun, and every single one of his feats.

Also, if Force Light removes or lessens the Dark Side taints than, it would logically work on objects as well.

No, it wouldn't. What kind of "logic" do you follow? It specifically is designed to remove dark side taints from locations, and sites. Even if what you said was true, Yoda hasn't even been mentioned to know Force Light, much less demonstrate it.

Unless such weapons don't carry a Dark Side taint which I find....unlikely. It's just as valid as the amulets being unstoppable, unbeatable killing machines, too

No, it's not.

Which Bpfasshi rebellion was this, now? I don't think I can be more clear: In the Thrawn trilogy, Yoda kills one after his exile on Dagobah, NEC confirms there was one killed during the Clone Wars over Dagobah and Heart of Darkness has the young Yoda killing the Bpfasshi master at Dagobah.

Funny, use a source that's been updated in the last five years.
There were three Bpfasshi Dark Jedi Yoda killed, apparently. And Yoda still managed to restrict the Dark Side on Dagobah

-- Starwars.com databank, Yoda.

I got my info from Nai so I'll check with him. However, the databank means almost less than nothing considering they updat emaybe once every five years

By everyone and their mother? No. By Elite Jedi such as Mace, Yoda, Luke, Revan, Kyp and the like? Yes.
And I was throwing that at Darth Sexy mostly

They are gigantic in magnitude alone, their destructive potential is grave (it is a far more destructive attack than anything the PT Jedi knew), they can be fired rapidly in succession, and "with every pulse of [Kun's] anger the amulet doubles the power of its discharge". I find it nigh improbable that anyone in the entire saga could defend against such things continuously, perhaps Darth Sidious in RotJ, but that's about it.

Really now? They're energy, and that's it. If Kun continues pushing himself, someone's going to give out. They're also dodgeable and never tested against a strong Force User and considering an entire race who used those Amulets were wiped out by the Jedi, the Brotherhood of Darkness? They used Sith amulets, too. And they were reduced to cringing wrecks on Ruusan.
No, I'm thinking the high level Jedi could definitely defend against those things. How long CAN Kun keep them up exactly? Can they be reflected? Nullified even?

As for "the greatest weapon ever made", isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? As no one has ever stated such things. They may act as if they are, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't as good as they are hyped up to be.

Barring a single instance of use against people who can't fight back, vs. the extermination of the mighty Ancient Sith, when every Sith Lord we saw could use one of them...

I fail to see how that's taking anything away from him, seeing as he hasn't demonstrated the ability to do such. Plus, you downplay Exar Kun, and every single one of his feats.

This was more to DS than to you.
And I consider Exar to be in the top five most powerful Sith Lords, I just don't exactly see him taking people like Yoda and Mace and Luke.


No, it wouldn't. What kind of "logic" do you follow? It specifically is designed to remove dark side taints from locations, and sites. Even if what you said was true, Yoda hasn't even been mentioned to know Force Light, much less demonstrate it.

According to the PotJ sourcebook, Yaddle knew it, apparently and learned her knowledge through holocrons. I'd say there's a point in the direction. Moreover, force Light purges a Dark Side nexus, whether it be a place, spirit or a person.


No, it's not. [/B]

Are you really trying to tell me that besides possibly blocking/redirecting them, one cannot affect these amulets at all?

How can you consider Kun a top 5 candidate but not being able to take Mace and Yoda? I would put his raw force abilities/potential equal to that of TPM-ROTS Sidious. But he can't take Mace or Yoda? I think there's a little too much PT fanboyism here. Him against Yoda is debatable, but his force abilities are superior to Mace's, and his saber abilities are likely to be on par, if not above him as well. And no, you have NOT offered any proof for a technique to block these amulets so Advent is right.

Probably because they're numbers 2 and 3 of the Jedi of all time?

And seriously, enoughhut up already "You don't have direct proof so she must be right when she has no proof!"

Ridiculous.

She has to prove they're unblockable, too. It's undecided on both sides.

But yeah, Nai's given solid arguments for Mace and Yoda above Kun, saber especially.

I guess you forget Revan and Jacen? Mace being #2 or #3 is very debatable. Yoda is more than likely.

And seriously, enoughhut up already "You don't have direct proof so she must be right when she has no proof!"

Just because you've been proven wrong time and time again, stop getting butthurt.

She has to prove they're unblockable, too. It's undecided on both sides.

No, she doesn't. Because as it stands they ARE unblockable. You claim they are blockable so the burden of proof is on YOU now. Would you like me to explain to you in detail the steps of a logical debate?

And there has been VERY solid arguments for Kun being above Mace and Yoda in saber combat, not to mention the force.
