Palpatine's Bending Lightsaber Feat - (POLL)

Lol, and the other was stop animation?

The other was game-engine based animation (normal cutscene). SWTOR game engine is not really good at animating complex destructive action sequences. It shifts to CGI for that purpose or the scene is entirely skipped. Anybody who has played SWTOR, knows this. :/

For example, Barsen'thor destroys a massive door at some point in his story arc. However, the complex destruction sequence is entirely skipped and we only witness the outcome.

BioWare is improving the graphics though. We witness Vaylin destroying a massive blast door. But still not up there.

I wonder how hard it would be to make someone disappear. 😕

It's cringey watching this play out when the obvious explanation is that Valkorion just didn't exert himself too much.

I'm willing to accept that Valkorion's base lightning is sub-Nyriss level. 🙂

🙄

Well anyway, Marr was wearing full battlearmor and his full powered defenses would be up. With Valkorion not going all out the feat makes sense. Not that consistency has ever been a thing in SW at all.

We have confirmation from Darth Marr himself that Valkorion destroyed his body in that attack. Now, BioWare developers forgot to follow the script or reverse, is another discussion.

But yeah, these kinds of shitty performances from Valk are becoming par for course. 🙂

Nyriss raised an actual barrier to defend herself tho...

I get the jokes but you are bordering Idiocracy now.

Where did Marr note that Valky destroyed his body?

When you meet his ghost on Oricon. His line is "He destroyed my flesh". Chapter 12.

Maybe only the armor remained and the insides evaporated??????

Lol, or maybe he's just being loose with his words.

No people aren't loose with words ever what are you talking about?!

Destroy != vaporize.

I wouldn't even say Sids lighting "overwhelmed" Yoda. Overwhelmed implies that Yoda had no answer or response to it. This is unquestionably disproven, as we later see, Yoda dealt with it and was winning the absorbing/redirecting later on. So clearly, he could deal with it. The first instance was likely him just not expecting it to be that powerful. He dealt with Dooku's lighting very casually, and everything he threw at him. He likely believed Sids would be much the same. Have never actually faced a Sith prior to Dooku, his experience was very limited. Once he knew what to expect, he dealt with it.
