Revan vs. Kyp Durron

All that says is that a chain reaction will cause the maximum damage and is optimum for the purpose. Not that "without a chain reaction this artifact will fail to do damage". Not that Jango would have knowledge on it anyways.

B/w, those scans practically confirm that the artifact has planet shattering power.

Hmmm, if it didn't require a chain reaction to destroy the planet, their would be no point Jango making a chain reaction, considering the damage alone should kill all life, anyway.

It's called a planet killer, so I just take it as Capable of razing the surface of said planet without the chain reaction, in which with it would destroy the planet completely.

Sure. The author having a character explain to the reader the mechanics of the bad guy's plot was just some sort of deception.

Damn it kbro. Authorial intent?

There is a very good reason people generally shy "reasonably" clear off this, and it is that it can be manipulated and twisted according to one's own interpretations and is incredibly subjective. Unless it comes straight from the horse's mouth.

In this case, however, it is not. You however, have managed to misinterpret even that. The so-called "intent" of that particular scene was to have Jango and Zam be able to locate the bad guys, hence Zam asks for "Jango's opinion" on where "any generic explosive", "should" be detonated so as to "logically" have the maximum impact. Thus enabling these guys to find the villains of the story.

This does not override the "fact" that the artifact has enough "force energies" to destroy an entire world, which has been stated multiple times in many sources. That aside, it has been stated explicitly in the damn comics themselves that the destruction is due to the artifact's "power" and sheer energy, and absolutely nowhere as an "official" source has anything been stated about any kind of chain reaction, and every single hype possible has been given to the "planet destroying power" of the artifact.

For all your talk on "authorial intent", there was a tiny bit of chance that I might have bought it( till I was completely ignorant on the subject anyways), if it were not for the person "well acquainted" with the artifact and its power, exclaiming that the power unleashed by it would be "unlike anything the galaxy has ever seen".

But yeah, let's add a "forced" authorial intent to a scene, meant as a plot device for the main characters to find the bad guys, the context of which was using a bit of logic applicable to a "generic" explosive device, from a statement made by a guy not very well acquainted with the device or its power, and "completely" ignore the numerous objective quotes that credit the artifact's ability to destroy worlds solely to its sheer power, and nothing else, and ignore a person( who was very well acquainted with the artifact) who was going to use it to destroy the very heart of the Republic, who remarked that the sheer "energy" released "from the artifact" would be unlike anything the galaxy had ever seen before.

I guess that last part can be said to be a "deception" too as well, can it not?

For the record, I am almost fine with authorial intent being used, but there shouldn't be any hypocrisy.

It has enough force energies to destroy a world, by starting a chain reaction, there is no contradiction.

Oh and tip, don't "quote" words that aren't actually parts of "quotes", because that just makes you look stupid. If you want to highlight a word, use italics.

Why tf don't you understand?

The "chain reaction" was, in context, for "any generic explosive", not specifically this one. Made to explain Jango and Zam finding Khorda. Made by a guy who has no business knowing about this artifact at all.

You want how the artifact destroys the worlds? By releasing the kind of energy that has "never been seen before in the galaxy". Solely due to its raw power and "nothing else". Made by Khorda, a source far more reliable than Jango on this matter.

But yeah, let's "utterly ignore" that comment, which would give the artifact a lot more credential and hype than just a puny planet destroying power, made by a source far more credible than effing Jango, for a comment Jango made, which you are taking out of context.

Yeah, this screams hypocrisy in every sense imaginable.

No, the formatting is crap. I am sticking to this, since it is a lot easier.

It's almost just as easy to write [i] [/i ] (remove space between i and ]) than " ".

We go with what's most instinctive to us.

The key is to make KMC as instinctual to you as Haruun Kal is to Kar Vastor. 👆

That way, when you leave KMC, you are nothing.

Oh, I wouldn't be too sure. If this does become instinctive to me, at least I will have done my HTML practice( the basic formatting uses HTML commands).
