The frigate feat has been debunked, yeah.

Yup, Lucas said after his injuries he was no longer as strong as Sidious which implies that he was before.
He said "his ability to be twice as good as the Emperor vanished."

He tries it with anybody he thinks might be more powerful, which is what the Emperor was looking for in the first place: somebody who would be more powerful than he was and could help him rule the universe. But Obi-Wan screwed that up by cutting of his arms and legs and burning him up. From then on, he wasn't as strong as the Emperor—he was like Darth Maul or Count Dooku.

But yeah he says that too

Huh. Neat.

Thanks for the information.

It was a 300-m frigate, and, while the lower half may have been broken off, it is a fair estimate that the fore half of the Salvation had the mass of a 200-m frigate (if not more).

The ratio of the mass of a 300-meter frigate to that of a 200-meter frigate with the same density is 27:8. Half of that is 13.5:8.

8/13.5=0.5926

In other words, assuming only 60% the "fore half" of the Salvation (which, incidentally, was where the bulk of its mass was) remained, it'd still be bigger than a 200-meter frigate.

"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."

nah.

Now I agree it's as big as a 150-meter frigate (at best).

Thanks for clearing that up.

1: Vitiate/Sidious
2: Plagueis
3: Caedus/Krayt Reborn
4: Exar Kun
5: Marka Ragnos
6: Ajunta Pall
7: Karness Muur
8: Jadus
9: Vader/Bane/Darth Revan
10: Malgus

Some of these change periodically.

...it was better when Ant didn't highlight the part that remained in yellow.

nah.

That image is glorious.

Quite, it reveals a larger object than any Dooku has even manipulated, let alone obliterated. I luv it. 🙁

What?

The quote from the book.

You started out highlighting the sections on the fore half that broke off in red and the part where the aft half got torn off in blue.

Yellow just isn't as easily legible on KMC.
