The asteroids themselves were stationary and thus had no weight resistance.
I never understood this argument.
Firstly, the asteroids were not stationary. They were freely moving around. However, they were stuck in a "zone" above the Inner Sanctum in which gravity did not pull down on them, thus allowing them to basically appear to float. However, the field they are in clearly prevents the asteroids from escaping the said field, so Revan ripping the asteroids through that "zone" is enormously impressive given its specific purpose was to make sure the asteroids don't escape.
Next, even once he rips it from this zone that is designed to prevent something like that from happening, he still has to manipulate the falling asteroids in the midst of combat. And by the looks of it, he even manipulates the speed of which they are falling. He does this with simply gestures (forty times) while in combat against four of the greatest warriors in the galaxy.
Your respect threads state that he hurled them to the ground with such force that they shattered to dust. This I firmly believe to be a game mechanic considering it would have been more difficult to place in shattered pieces of asteroid all over the fight area and the various physics that would go with such a debris filled field.
It's possible, but given what we know about Rakata' technology and how incredible and durable it is, I wouldn't simply dismiss it.
Also, the game makers could have easily did similar effects to when Oric Traless collapsed portions of a ceiling while in a flashpoint, but they didn't.
I honestly can't measure this feat since I lack knowledge on Vitiate past his introduction in the novel and even in the novel given how long ago I read it.
He's a Sith Emperor who has lived for hundreds of years that has the combined power of eight thousand Sith Lords. He is described as "a mysterious, almost godlike avatar of the dark side."
Maybe I should rephrase. I meant mediocre in comparison to the higher tier TK feats of Vader/Dooku/Mace/Maul level characters.
Yeah, that claim is laughable.
I don't believe it does tbh. I think that breaking through force defenses while a good showing does not put a character on the level of power as the character who's defenses they broke. I may be incorrect in this opinion but I've seen the same thing argued for Krayt when he broke through Cade's defenses and I just can't bring myself to agree to this sort of logic, especially when I see characters with little to no feats doing this to characters with higher end feats and the feats of the more powerful character being applied to the one who broke through said character's defenses.
Based on? You haven't provided any evidence that it isn't an indication of power. The only example you cited further proves my point. Darth Krayt was an immensely powerful figure capable of harming ancient entities that can destroy entire cities with the Force. He's undeniably far more powerful than Cade Skywalker, so obviously he's going to be telekinetically dominating him.
