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.
