A note on using one's hands to block a lightsaber.
A five hundred megawatt laser with a wavelength in the UV range, and a 10 meter lens, can drill a meter long hole into a carbon-titanium alloy within a tenth of a second.
A lightsaber can casually pierce through star war space age blast door metal (probably durasteel.)
Consider how difficult blocking that much energy, focused into such a small spot, would be.

You do not need to take things on personal level here. You will decide that what I should debate about here? 1 or 2 posts of mine per month anger you?Stick to the topic. If you have something useful to contribute, then do so.
And I know you are but what is pi?

I find this line of logic to be quite strange. With it one could say Luke transmuted the AT-AT's legs to rubber rather than using TK to bring it down because we can't prove it either way. However, using common sense and precedent (!) it quite obvious that he used TK.This is the same way I view the lightsaber dilemma. There are absolutely no example in lore where a lightsaber's blade is destroyed through strain in fact it make no sense. However, we have seen a lightsaber blade be destroyed through force absorb.
Well we can, because the ability to transmute things into rubber is not an ability Luke possesses, nor one that..... actually exists in Star Wars (except maybe in those Ewok comics). TK does.
But your view makes absolutely no sense. Why would a force absorb crack a lightsaber blade? It would ABSORB it, not crack it.

Um… What? I said the lightsaber cracking through strain makes no sense.
And I'm saying that it cracking by being absorbed makes no sense as well.

I'll take a page out of Legend's book and post some pictures here.The ball of energy is most evident here:
And no, it does not resemble a lightsaber clash:
O RLY?
Not good enough? Well how about we look at earlier in the same fight:
Or another trailer:
I can post pictures too. 🙂

Also where is this blue energy at? Regardless, blue energy is typically used to simply indiacte force use.
You can see it in the image you posted.
Bump.
On a second perusal of the ROTS novel, I'm re-appreciative of Zonakins abilities. In my opinion Luke can handle any Force powers thrown at them and Zonakin can dominate any opponent who faces him. In fact, I would say that both Skywalkers can handle 2 of team 1 quite well solo, with the remaining one defeating his opponent.
Remember The Clone Wars episode where Anakin rescues Captain Tarkin, and they exchange banter over a few episodes? Well apparently, Anakin's memory of those events went right out the door when he became Vader, because according to his own thoughts, he'd only met Tarkin twice--above Kashyyyk in RoDV and briefly at the end of RotS. I almost made the excuse that 'Anakin' had met Tarkin before, not 'Vader', until I realized that was total horseshit.
Also according to the novel, Palpatine had created the title of 'Moff' for his governors, not the ancient Sith.
It's the little things, I know, but damn do they irk me.

After the duo of Revan and Bastilla is done with Zonakin, the trio will take care of Luke Skywalker.
This battle is not at all easy for Skywalkers.

Has Revan been determined to have strong offensive Force powers yet?
Also, he has been affirmed as the greatest champion of the Jedi Order of his time.
You have probably read this.
Originally posted by S_W_LeGenDThat's not a whole lot to go by. All those ambiguous descriptions like "skilled duelist" and "powerful in the Force" all really amount to crap. That's how Ahsoka Tano is described.
Not much have been revealed about him yet. However, he is skilled with the lightsaber. He brought down a Basilisk War Droid and its rider purely on the basis of his skills with the lightsaber.Also, he has been affirmed as the greatest champion of the Jedi Order of his time.
