Addressing stupidity #2: Starkiller's feat

No, he didn't "disintegrate half a 300 meter ship." That's misleading.

So, it split in half, yes, but of the part he still handled (yellow circle), almost half of it was already gone as per the text (red X's)

And note I'm not even factoring the numerous decks and part of the hull that was also gone from under him.

Interesting find. The included text would be nice though.

Ugh, this is the same kind of shit Legend does. Just argue against it in whatever thread it popped up in.

"A trembling shape up and to his left chose that moment to give way, showering molten fragments all along the spine of the ship. The primary array was no great loss: he couldn't have heard anyone anyway over the racket in his ears. But the forward turbolasers and primary sensor unit, the next two chunks to go, were more of a concern... Several lower decks peeled back and were swept away, including the bridge. Most of the short-range array was gone, leaving him with just the base to hold him steady. He clenched his hands into fists and willed the ship to keep going... With a bone-jarring crack, the spine connecting fore and aft sections of the frigate snapped clean through. Starkiller reached out with the Force, trying desperately to keep the two pieces together, but nothing could be done... The fore section he stood upon was going to come down among them, doing a considerable amount of damage in the process."

Nonsense. Open discussion for a specific topic should never be discouraged. Saying LEGENDDOESDIS is not a valid complaint, when in fact, Silver627 made threads addressing specific memes too.

I've been meaning to make a thread about it for a while.

Opening a topic to dismiss a single feat or why a certain character sucks has always reeked of butt hurt regardless if they are correct or not. I'm a proponent of arguing for characters not against. And if Silver pulled the same shit, I'd think it's just as ridiculous.

I think it's worth mentioning that the ship was clearly getting pummeled. Even the remaining parts would likely be very damaged and far easier to blow apart.

Still fantastically impressive tbh.

Especially when you add in the fact he was simultaneously errecting a barrier that was powerful enough to repel best that rivaled the outer layer of stars.

The outer layers of the sun isn't that hot tbh.

I thinks that's what's called hyperbolic writing Derron. Besides, wasn't he just protecting himself from atmospheric re-entry?

Ant's completely right, and it's still one of the best TK feats in this mythos.

The outer layer of our sun is about 10,000 degrees fahrenheit, which just so happens to be among recorded readings for atmospheric reentry.

Relax. 😬

Just calling it like I see it.

TIL, 10000 degrees "isn't that hot". 😉

Compared to it's surface, yeah - but it's still temps far exceeding that of 1,000° F, IIRC.

So Starkiller's defence is pushing around the same effectiveness as the appolo 8's hull material- made in 1968?

I guess he might be approaching Kasim level barriers then 😂

That's an impressive analysis with the picture, but...it actually is half of the length. It just doesn't include some of the width, but the full width is unusually large anyway and nobody was trying to use that. Take away the extra red stuff and it's just like a smaller star destroyer.

It's still incredibly impressive.
