Besides which, I've always found claims about Nihilus's TK to be a bit suspect. He's allegedly the only thing keeping the Ravager together but the ship's structural integrity endures even after he dies and succumbs only to explosive sabotage. And that vaunted TK didn't enable him to snap Canderous Ordo's neck...
Have any sources beyond Traya corroborated the feat? Given that she's a pathological liar...

If they operate as actual singularities massive enough to suck in torpedos that can easily escape gravity wells (and have shown 20,000+ g accelerations before), we're talking about a Jupiter-moving feat at the minimum. But then again, if they were that massive, how the f*ck are random Vong creatures able to move them, how can they sit on top of planets and not wreck havoc, etc.
Hm, that was aided by the incredibly powerful dark nexus of Malachor, though. Dooku also flipped a cruiser while simultaneously moving other ships on Korriban, a lesser nexus.
Do you have a source for Dooku? And yeah it was on a nexus.
Andeddu and Wyyrlok's mental battle was also pretty impressive, as were Yoda's manipulations of the Rebels/Inquisitors in Rebels S2.
I was trying to use stuff in Legends, but yeah, I considered putting the latter in. From what I recall of the former fight nothing in it was particularly awe inspiring; it just looked fancy. Not on the level of Luke creating lifelike copies of the Falcon or fooling Caedus, a ship crew and even its computers and sensors into seeing a fleet.

Not long after RotS, Sidious also erased the memories of some construction site from millions of civilians on Coruscant.

True. Darth Revan also ripped out a whole language from the memories Ratakan natives, although I think there were only a few hundred of them.
👆 Krayt also did this. Another honorable mention is Sarasu Taalon being able to penetrate FOTJ Luke's mental defenses. Hell, Nyax and UnuThul are also mentionable in that regard.
Indeed, Nyax/UnuThul/Taalon are the random haxxed characters post-Sidious.
👆 tbh
The power of fandom is too powerful to resist.
I was infatuated with LotF and FotJ. They weren't necessarily literary classics, but I was young and in love with Star Wars, so hey sue me.
IIRC references are made to Nihilus holding the ship together or some such. Though, depending on the phrasing, it may not refer to the physically literal and instead refer to his psychic influence on the crew and shit.
Jadus claimed to do a similar thing. Nihilus clearly wasn't holding it together 'cause, as you mentioned, nothing happened when he died. Traya is basically wrong about everything.
If there's no sourcebook to corroborate him actually TK'ing the Ravager I'd say Traya's word means pretty much nothing and it's 50/50 that he used a tractor beam.

Canderous says the ship should not be capable of moving or functioning and Tobin replies that Nihilus is holding it together, iirc.
Also lol @ the fact that Luke summoning every Jedi was mentioned as one of the best TP feats but when DMB pointed out that Kaan exceeded that feat we get a "who cares".
