Actually curious about these black hole feats for anyone in general
Were these real black holes, or pseudo black holes (think Blackbeard from One Piece for an extreme example of fake singularity)?
There were micro-singularities created artificially, they aren't remotely close to real black holes. The best feat was Luke meditating and inverting a larger then standard one on one of the Yuuzhan Vong's war beasts to cause it destroy large segments of a massive Reptoid/Vong army I think on Dantooine.
The first time that Luke used and concentrated Force energy this way nearly burned him out.
The best rate of quantifying this feats is how the larger and greater analog a warship's dovin basal's are, the more powerful they are. The ones on a frigate would be more impressive then the one's on fighters or corvettes. I think one of Luke's better TK feats was throwing a shadow bomb with his telekinesis so powerfully it was hitting a respectable "fraction" of the speed of light into a large Vong warship.
"We need more research to be certain, but it appears that they have creatures called dovin basals that are part of the fighter itself. They manipulate gravity, which is how they were able to soak off your shots and rip down your shields. We think that boosting the sphere of the inertial compensator can actually prevent shields being taken down. I also think that cycling more, lower-power shots through the lasers will force the skip to expend a lot of energy creating those black-hole shields. As long as it's worried about catching shots, its maneuvering ability is degraded. These strategies are hypothetical, however, and can really only be tested in combat."
