I just don’t understand. How can anyone read Darth Plagueis objectively, understand the explicit and underlying meanings of the text, and still be capable of “Yeah, well, Nyriss has better lightning feats.”
The Force's response to imbalance was underwhelming?
They were directly channeling energy at it for months and the best response the Force has to the active attempt to imbalance it is birth a ****er with 2 times the potential of the strongest ****er targeting it
Months of energy
2 times the potential of Sidious
Sidious is powerful, but the product hardly comes out to what I'd expect from them channeling all their power at the Force for months on end off and on
Which leads me to believe they weren't doing anything near that tbh *shrugs*
That said, this is all semantics
Ant's argument can live and die with him, that outcome I'm just here to watch and laugh over *shrugs*

That's an interesting way to rephrase the Force creating through immaculate conception a literal in-universe Deus Ex Machina just to stop them.
He was The Chosen One, .i.e. the most cosmically significant character in all of Star Wars. That's the foe that rose specifically against Sidious and Plagueis.

The entire idea of unbalancing the Force through what Plagueis and Sidious did is retarded anyway, lal. Luceno is a great writer, but the very concept is phucking retarded.Also @ Temp: I'm currently compiling the sources right now,
That's what the whole Chosen One thing was about though...

Indeed
Still only twice the power of Sidious
The great equalizer
Months of power placed into the ritual
Comes out to twice the power of Sidious
You'd think an equal response to its sudden peril would house more power after months of energy targeting it specifically to knock it off kilter
I'm only left to conclude they didn't need anywhere near their full power to conduct the ritual
Simple math ****s that comparison basically

Just plain stupidity.

How do you know what that translates into? Vader had 80% of Sidious's power by the same Lucas, and yet Sidious's feats are orders of magnitude superior, so it may not be a linear relationship between potential and what you can do.

Yes, but the way they did it was comically lame. I'd rather the Chosen One be created solely via the corruption of the Republic and Sidious rise to power rather than some mediation and such.Just plain stupidity.
Not sure if I agree; in either case, it's a solid reason to put Plagueis above Valkorion.

YepThe chosen one
Who houses 2 times the power of a man that was fought nearly equally by a green garden gnome :maybe
After months of the Force being targeted
Altogether I'd say what the Force produced was overkill. mmm

I don't think you can apply math to something like that tbh.

I don't think the Force cares about that shit lmao.

Oh
It probably isn't
Thing is though?
Feats no where in the franchise support Anakin, or even the ****ing Ones really, housing all of Sidious and Plagueis' power being directed at the Force for months on end for protracted amounts of time per day
Especially when a much lesser ritual created bullshit like the Valley of the Jedi
Don't recall seeing the Ones demonstrating the power to nuke a solar system *shrugs*

Then what are you comparing?
How do you compare this to other ****ers in the franchise?
Its not like they did it in an instant *shrugs*
It took them months targeting the Force with unknown quantities of their power every day
