(II) Dark-Side Showdown (CANON)

It never seemed to be an issue of strength. I mean he stopped a blaster bolt.

Dooku and Grievous wins but lose to Sidious

Not sure about who's the weakest team.

A blaster bolt doesn't operate on strength. And yeah, TK can be overcome assuming someone is physically strong enough.

As for Dooku, he’s going to be having his hands full dueling others. He can’t sit around babysitting the General for long.

@Ares: Depending on who he's facing, it's certainly within his capabilities.

That’s sorta my point. His ability doesn’t follow physics. I know that one book attributes the ability to TK, but that is quite obviously incorrect as the bolt resumes its speed and trajectory after Kylo releases it.

His TK is just subatomic tier and powerful enough to freeze entire quantum systems without loss of enegy. 🙂

Well unless he stopped time... Or maybe Star Wars doesn't follow the more complex side of physics? I mean, it is a fictional franchise after all.

Yes. It's space magic. But I'm not inclined to consider it TK.

You have seen TFA, yes? Kylo can easily freeze Grievous just as he did to others in the film. It's literally a non-fight. Kylo's powers are perfect for countering Grievous. It's just a terrible match up for the General.

He froze fodder. Grievous can instantly close the distance and stomp Kylo in a duel in a matter of seconds.

Vader didn't stasis Karbin during their fight despite the fact that it would have been extremely convenient to do so at certain points in their fight.

Vader's never shown the ability, that I can recall.

Er ares, I think you're reading too much into this, if there's a source saying it's tk, I'd go with that

He managed to freeze a blaster bolt before it hit him... So unless you think Grievous can run faster than a blaster bolt or he can resist the ability, he doesn’t stand a chance.

I go with what is shown over a throwaway line from a book. It acts nothing like TK.

That was the point of my post. If the book says it's TK, it's TK.

And I'm saying the book is wrong as it contradicts what is shown in the film.

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood what you were getting at, yea, good point.
But isn't stasis an extension of tk?

Nope.

Going with Vader and Ren.

Telekinesis is, by definition, moving objects around, last time I checked.
