Star Wars: Lords of the Sith

Keep in mind that they killed hundreds of them, and if you clicked that scan they have to fortify entire cities against just a few. Holy ****, and also Vader is apparently equal to Palpatine in speed.

Equal?

"With preternatural speed the Emperor drew, ignited, and slashed at the girl with his lightsaber, but Vader had sensed his Master’s intent and moved with greater speed, igniting his own blade and intercepting his Master’s blow before it could land."

😉

Although it is worth noting that Sidious "had shown so little of his true power throughout the day."

They are never really given a size in the novel IIRC, but they were uprooting entire trees so I'd assume they are massive.

Does blowing apart equate to disintegration or atomization?

When they were running escaping them initially it mentioned they kept an equal pace.

Well the guards were able to mostly keep up as well. So they couldn't have been going to fast.

If we go based on TOR, they are almost twice the size of a person.Note its described as near atomisation, and its also noted they appeared as if they had been blow apart by grenades, so I'd say relatively the same level of destruction. So yeah its superior, though of course Plagueis was severely injured.

Well, going by that, Vader should be able to disintegrate normal people then.

Well that kind of negates any comparison between the 2.

Was there a reason given for that or is it that it's normal for Sidious to hold back on his power?

To test Vader's loyalty and to have Vader rely on himself. It could also be referring to how Sidious pretty much stood on the sidelines throughout the novel.

^ Ah I see. I suppose "shown so little of his true power" suggests he did unleash it at least a few times.

I don't get this book downloaded until Thursday. But damn you read it quick!

The guards were firing from another point behind them or ahead of them at the lyleks. I'll post the quote later

I guess I'm not exactly sure what scene you are talking about then. Regardless, the two of them running at the same speed means little IMO.

Yeah, my initial impression of this book endures. The writing is very weak.

From the 50 paged preview I read it was quite good, in my opinion.

I only cared for the scenes with the Emperor and Vader and I wasn't let down. Beating hundreds of massive Lyleks that can uproot trees/lay entire cities siege, have carapaces harder than armor, telekinetically wielding freighters, and reducing Lyleks to blood and gore/destroying their bodies are amazing showings of power 👆

They're the most powerful Sith to ever live

I'm pleased this book provided Vader wank.

inb4 Ahsoka vs Vader, however.

I should probably make a canon Vader RT. :mmm:

Uh, I meant how Ahsoka would become Vader tier, making her extremely powerful!

😄

Hero and Revan would get shit on so badly if they tried this solo. They have to fortify entire cities just to deal with a few, Vader and Sidious killed hundreds of them.

😂

I still wanted more feats. Vader and Palpatine needed to crush Capital ships damn it.
