How big was the frigate Vader brought down in Lords of the Sith?

Was the size ever stated? Is the new canon still pegging frigates at a minimum of 200 meters at least?

It was cutting swathes of trees down and left and massive clearing, but other than that IDK

I would think so; but I haven't even heard of this feat. Quote me pls?

Vader enmeshed himself in the Force, in his seething, ever-present wrath, and used it to take hold of the freighter and drive the entire ship toward the ground. He grunted with effort, his respirator increasing his rate of breathing to account for the exertion.

The ship, its damaged engines unable to compensate enough against the downward push of Vader's power, went nose-down and streaked into the ground. Vader imagined the screams of the pilots as they watched the forest race toward them. The ship disappeared behind the tree line and exploded into a fireball that reached above the forest's canopy and caused the ground to vibrate. A cloud of black smoke rose into the darkening sky. A second boom sounded behind him, his Master having driven the second ship into the ground the same way.

That's sexy.

Feat for Palps too. Awesome!

It said freighter though...

Oh wow thanks for catching that for me lol. I meant to say freighter not frigate.

Most freighters are under 50 meters in length, some are no bigger than the Millenium Falcon.

It was also damaged and explicitly states the engines weren't capable of resisting Vader's pull, really; he would probably still bring it down were it not damaged, but with more effort obviously. Still a good feat I guess, but no where near what I thought it'd be when I first saw the thread.

I still like the part where he splattered two lyleks with a single Force push

He does that and pulps the ones behind them and collapses a ceiling all wih the wave of his hand

Hmmm I wonder if this means he actually could have just force pulled the Millenium Falcon back in ESB

Probably. He could have just grabbed it and pulled it back down onto the landing pad. Also in TFU when Galen escaped in a Tie fighter he could have just been like "where you going?"

Maybe the engines of the Falcon were too powerful.

LotS really did amp up Force ability in the new canon beyond what they probably should have, IMO.

"Probably"? Lol.

Vader's TK feats were already top tier in Legends, Lots didn't add much that didn't already solidify Vader as being one of the most powerful Sith

Well he clearly didn't want the Falcon to escape, so no. Falcon must have just flown off too fast.
