That said, Palpatine likely wasn't bluffing when he remarked on Galen having the potential to equal him.Anyhow, I agree with a top 10-15 ranking for him.
indeed! that's why asked about him being in the top.....I loved that game.....i got the game...i got the graphic novel and the novel.......
my friends say im stupid because they thought the story was lame but i think it was great!

HOwever, the rest of your post is correct.
He redirected a powerless, falling star destroyer. Still Uber, but certainly less so.

Not instantly,
Good.
Kind've nails the coffin shut on the idea that he held the ship together through his own power alone, yes?
AncientSithLord
However, it is explicitly stated Nihilus held the ship together with the Force;
By what omniscient narrator?
AncientSithLord
You're using faulty logic.
I'm not.
AncientSithLord
Freedon Nadd used the Force to incapacitate an extremely powerful Jedi Master from lightyears away. Does that mean Nadd could incapacitate every single living being in several star systems simultaneously from across the galaxy? No.
I'm not certain what this has to do with anything, but just for giggles, who is this "extremely powerful Jedi Master" and what source accredits him with such power?
AncientSithLord
Sidious, ALONG WITH HIS DARK SIDE ADEPTS I might add, gradually leached the life force of the population of Byss.
Interesting assessment of the situation. The sources that I've seen make no mention of the dark side adepts assisting the Emperor in this situation. What source do you have?
AncientSithLord
Very gradually - and the people of Byss had already given their will to the Dark Side Adepts and their Master.
False.
"Slowly but steadily, he used his dark Force powers to enslave the people on the world and drain their life energies to fuel his own vile experiments." -- Byss and the Deep Core
AncientSithLord
Leaching life force to bolster one's power is not unprecedented; heck, even Nihilus' ability to kill an entire world was not unique to him, but Sidious sure didn't have the ability, just as he didn't have the ability to instakill enemies with an assortment of Sith spells, or create talismans that would prevent anyone from harming him without his consent.
Palpatine had no need for amulets or talismans, his ridiculous feats of strength were performed without such devices. Palpatine claimed the ability in the Dark Empire Sourcebook to be capable of defeating enemies from afar, and the same source makes it abundantly clear that his Force Storm could tear the surfaces off worlds -- he's capable of planetary destruction and very casually.
AncientSithLord
Sidious didn't leave pile of corpses strewn over an entire planet turned to ash in his wake like Nihilus did.
This is faulty logic. When did he attempt to apply the Force in such a manner and fail to reach the effect you mention?
Sorry... I think I just fell in love with those emoticons. 😆
AncientSithLord
"His manipulation and transformation of the planetary Byss from an otherwise nascent planet into "one of the most powerful dark side sites in the galaxy" (Byss and the Core Worlds) makes it clear that he's not only capable of planetary destruction but also non-destructive manipulation. Not to mention that he enslaved Byss's 20 billion inhabitants to his will."I would like to add that the Dark Side Adepts were responsible for much of this; it's like how Kaan AND the rest of the Sith Lords created and unleashed the thought bomb. It was not as if Kaan just suddenly decided to kill Ruusan.
Rakatan Temples were also on Byss. I think anyone who has played KOTOR knows what that means... 😉[/b]
Sorry, hearsay is irrelevant here. Cite your sources appropriately.
1. He's referring to Nadd lashing out at Arca from Korriban. The feat itself is incredible considering Nadd is a force ghost and he's force pushing a live jedi master thousands of light years away. However, this is irrelevant.
2. And the omniscient character would be Colonel Tobin, a master of all aspects of the force🙂
Okay, I'll post a proper reply later Gideon, but I would like to point out the idea that Palpatine mastered nearly all Force techniques is ridiculous. A single quote from the Dark Empire Sourcebook saying Palpatine was BELIEVED to have mastered all KNOWN (in that day and time, I might add, when much knowledge of the Force had been lost) Force powers does not prove anything; once Palpatine actually turns enemies to dust with his mere gaze, strikes enemies down from lightyears away and drains entire planets a la Nihilus, then I say he might be on the same level as the ancient Sith.
Meanwhile, I'd like to point out a much more definite statement regarding the powers of Freedon Nadd, from the TOTJ Companion:
"Freedon Nadd has knowledge of all Jedi and Sith Force powers presented herein as well as those abilities still hidden in ancient Holocrons and tomes." So, that would mean Nadd possessed the following powers:

Impressive, eh? This is aside from (undoubtedly many) forgotten ancient Sith abilities; I'd expect thought bombs, instakill Sith spells etc. would be under that category.
Nadd's power "on-screen" if you will can be shown as he survived as a Sith spirit, turned an entire planet into a dark side world infused with his power, and incapacitated the powerful Jedi Master Arca Jeth from lightyears away.
This is Freedon Nadd, hardly the most powerful of the ancient Sith either; indeed he was destroyed by Exar Kun, who found and studied an uncounted number of Jedi and Sith artifacts, tomes, etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but judging from that quote, no. Knowledge doesn't mean he can use them. Only that he knows of them. Furthermore, if he can use them, to what degree would that be?
Also I highly doubt he could Force Storm.
