How is it not a real black hole? Does it still pull in light? If it does than it works like a black hole. If we squish Earth into a black hole it wouldn't be larger than my smallest finger. Just because a dovin basal isn't as large as a typical black hole doesn't mean it doesn't have an incredible level of mass.

Well I'm glad yall know a thing or two about black holes. Real life microblack holes can have a mass less than that of a flea, so how sure are we that what he was moving did have an incredible level of mass? From the way it was described, the one he controlled would have probably had a mass MUCH, MUCH smaller than the earth.
If the Black Hole that Luke moved had the mass of a flea, then why was it able to alter the course of a (relatively) large ship like a coral skipper? A Black Hole with the mass of a flea would have no greater gravitational pull than that of said insect. If it was that small, then it would not affect the ship. But it did affect the ship, so it can't have had the same gravitational pull as a flea.

He didn't say those black holes were the size of fleas, he was simply providing an example. A black hole wouldn't need to be tremendous in size to absorb plasma blasts or missiles.
Oh, and the LHC may be able to create black holes on a molecular scale.

Dovin basals are not like typical black holes. Most often, they generate gravity fields and the like (similar to the Mass Shadows Generator gravity well in KOTOR-era).
When they do generate black holes, they're miniature black holes and have no where near the mass of typical or supermassive black holes.
Impressive? Yes. OMGWOW!? No.
I really wish Bane had moved a moon. That would've taken more power than Luke's feat.
black holes are sink holes in time and space, it doesn't always matter how big a black hole is its about how dense it is and its gravitational foot print, if a Dovin Bassals have the potential to swallow small planetary objects is impressive, that means it has a larger footprint than a moon. a black hole is the most powerful phenomenon in the galaxy, no matted how small it is, it is the only place where light can not escape, due to gravity

A black hole is a theoretical region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, not even electromagnetic radiation (e.g. visible light), can escape its pull after having fallen past its event horizon. The term derives from the fact that the absorption of visible light renders the hole's interior invisible, and indistinguishable from the black space around it.
Black Holes are only impressive because of their massive gravitational pull. "But Wait!" you say. "What about 'micro black holes'? Don't they have tiny masses?"
This phenomenon is only applicable at the quantum level. That is to say, it is only relevant on the sub- sub-atomic level. To move these would require very little effort, but because they have little effect on the macro level, they can safely be ignored in this particular discussion.
The 'hole in time and space' is not really applicable in this case, as that status is an effect rather than a cause- black holes' incredible mass make them a 'hole in time' rather than a 'hole in time' making a black hole. It is a very important distinction.
Edit: If a micro black hole ate a moon, then the entire concept can be thrown out the window: SW authors are idiots. Luke can commence the planetary level destruction of whoever wrote this crap's house.

Yeah, I hate that elitist garbage. My professors say the same thing. But a lot, and I mean a lot of the stuff on there is accurate. Not research-purposes accurate, but accurate nonetheless. I've done some revisions on there myself in the phalanx and Macedonian phalanx sections. 😛

I outrank you in the official Grammar Nazi rankings. You should tell me how to pwn noobs on Wikipedia.
