But as we've seen, they don't always.I don't think Vader would be able to instantaneously react to instantaneous teleportation, especially if it's right behind him. A scenario I imagine is Vader not using his full power of TK right away. Many instances have shown him engaging in light TK (choke) or engaging in saber combat. I think for him to outright squash Voldemort's body in one quick movement he'd have to have witnessed Voldemort's destructive powers, and by then it may be too late for Vader. Lol, imagine him trying to use his saber or his glove to block a spell.
well.. the same goes for Voldemort also. He might not just kill Vader, because he doesn't know the extent of his capabilities.
And this really does depend on who attacks first. If voldemort hits with the killing curse, Vader is screwed, and if Vader implodes Voldemort, Volde's screwed.
I would tend to say that Vader would win 7/10 because he is faster than Voldemort, has precog to sense that Voldemort would try to teleport or something.
If Voldemort teleports, Vader could sense where he was before he was there. (this all depends really..) If he didn't sense fast enough, he would die, obviously. but then there is the case where Voldemort always misses for some retarded reason. Vader, being faster than Voldemort would likely be able to dodge the spells.
Also can the Force be used to block spells? and can Voldemort's shield be used to block lightsaber energy?
Clarification needed to continue talking about this stuff.
maybe i'll change it to 5/10 times.. lol
EDIT: well I recently read a really little bit of one of the other threads posted here, and some people said that magic can be used to turn people into animals, freeze time teleport etc. If you think about it, the Force can do that also. well not the freeze time part, although they could seemingly slow down falls, and time but not freeze it. maybe some powerful sith could but idk. There was someone who was immortal, not yoda, and sith magic can be used to turn people into rakaguols or whatever those things were in the Original KotOR, which would qualify as transforming people into animals. There was also another instance where some sith lady used sith magic to make these abominations out of metal and humans or something like that. I don't quite remember very well. I'll go look it up. Oh ya and Cade skywalker was able to Revive the dead, and Medical Jedi such as Barriss Offee was able to heal large wounds etc.
and another question: Would Force Lightning be considered a type of magic?
