ok i finally got time for your post kadesh, so sorry for the late reply
I kind of think that the stuff mentioned in TOTJ companion is a debate itself because how can that force storm be a jedi power when sidious stated that he uses his rage to build up the storm in space as written in the book of anger, Jedis do not use rage. No retcon has been established between DESB and TOTJ C
well jedi dont necessarily have to be willing to perform the technique just because they know it
clearly the jedi knew how the perform the technique (as it is a jedi power), but obviously would never go to the lengths of actually performing it mainly due to how destructive it is (and jedi aim to be as least destructive as possible) and the fact that they would know better than to execute such a dark power which could possibly turn them over to the darkside
And even if nadd knew it how powerful do we know it is? DS just mentioned sidious took it to a whole new level
i dont recall sidious having taken the power to the next level, in fact the descriptions inside the darkside compendium and the totj companion are near identical, however if darth sexy has a point, im certainly willing to hear him out
and while its true that we dont know exactly how great nadds execution of the power is, the technique itself is extremely destructive in nature, and with it comes great power, no matter how powerful you are, going by the descriptions in the totj companion
its likely you need to be extremely powerful to even come close to executing such a power anyways, let alone controlling it
I must have misread your statement, i apologise then
no worries
Nadd could have just gave kun the impression that he was super powerful when he was alive which could only be half true ,
he stated it to arca jeth actually, so he really wouldnt have had any reason to lie, i mean really, what good would boasting about how powerful he was when he was alive do, its not like he would really have reason to impress anyone. plus theres also the fact that we already know that spirits weaken over time, for example exar kun who by his own admission needed to gain power from force users and power sources to become even close to as powerful as he was when he was alive, so its not just nadds word that were relying on here, so its pretty clear that he was indeed much more powerful when he was alive
And about pushing vodo when he was on yavin? Spirits arent bound to a single place and the force push certeinly wasnt flying across the galaxy, It could have been force pushing vodo while communicating with him telepathicly
not sure i understand what ur saying here
sure, spirits arent bound to one place, so what? that doest change the fact that nadd did target and then attack vodo from lightyears away, which makes it all the more impressive given that the further away a force user is from his opponent, the harder it is to overpower them with the force, and the greater the required power would need to be. its likely if nadd was actually anywhere near vodo when he pulled off the attack, he may have even been able to instakill him or something, and thats his fricking 'powerless' 400 year old spirit. thats truly how powerful nadd was
Well the NEC says different, stating that he influenced the onderon people rather than using force
no, thats not what it actually says, ur probably mixing up sources, all that the nec states on the matter is that with his knowledge of sith magic, freedon nadd easily made himself leader among the people
then you have kotor2 claiming that he did it by use of his short lightsaber and short blaster (so clearly to some degree through brute force), and the darkside sourcebook claiming that he did it with the darkside and sith magic, so its definite that pure martial might had to have been used to some degree, and likely to the highest
because after a while, he couldnt fight of mere beast riders with all of his sith magic, I will provide a quote if you request it
no, thats cool, i have the nec, and it does indeed say that, but what you have to remember is that the nec is written by an in-universe narrator, meaning its subject to being inaccurate
sure, he displays some pretty accurate knowledge throughout the book, and thus most of it can be treated as being accurate, however when he says something like that, he cant possibly know for sure whether the true upper limit of nadds power was insufficient in stopping the beast riders (only nadd would know that), so its asinine to treat that part of the nec as fact
its likely nadd, as king, really wouldnt have cared too much about the beast riders (i mean really, as long as they werent directly affecting him, but just his people, why would he truly care? its not like a dark lord of the sith would really have compassion for a bunch of people that he rules over), for all we know he may have even gained thrills from all the fighting, and just watched over his militia versus the beast riders as some sort of entertainment. we dont know for sure, so its best to just ignore such vague info
I think he kicked the beast riders ass and influenced iziz but ironic he couldnt fend them off as the NEC stated
already been dealt with
Force storm lightning and force storm worm hole are completely different techniques
not, theyre essentially the same technique in the sense that they unleash storms of lethal force energy, the only difference is the way the storms were produced
and sidious force storm is powerful enough to red the fabrics of space and tear open a worm hole which is the most destructive thing in the universe save for a black hole and super nova. My point stands
sure, thats true, and in direct power sidious' force storms do appear to be the more powerful variant, but you also have to consider scale. its never been proven that sidious' force storms would ever come close to affecting an entire world, the most damage they ever produce was the destruction of an entire fleet, whereas the force storm produced by the bod was capable of wiping out the whole of ruusan
the point i was making was that attacks that are seemingly impossible to defend against and unstoppable can be defended against with even simple defencive applications of the force. theres a defence for every attack, its all dependant on the strength of the wielder of the attack, which was why i brought up how zannah defended against such an attack
It depends really, Sidious took a few mere seconds to generate a force storm to destroy the rebel fleet. Nadds force storm is unknown but even if he did generate it, if vader attempts to attack him in the process both will get annihilated because even sidious could not fully control his storms
fair enough, just checking to see your stance
You were saying zannah defended agaisnt a force storm lightning, i just pointed out that its the wormhole im talking about, not the lightning, Sorry but i cant really comprehend what you are saying on this one
my point is essentially that there are defences against any attack, and its all dependant on the strength of the fighters involved
Hmm ok not simple then but the fact i was trying to point out is that id didnt shake the whole temple at once but rather its foundations
all cool then
Then lets drop this one
I do 😄 but lets drop this down
officially dropped down
Alright 🙂 but ill admit its great to have a friendly debate with youAs for darth sith ill get back to you later
agreed
