...And the sentient mountain was resistant to the Force, no less... F*ck.Me.

Well nice to see the New Canon at least is still making Yoda the most powerful Jedi ever.

Fated Xtasy
Lmao. ****ing hell does this blow every feat out of the water

The_Tempest
He held back the mountain AND the attempts by the others to interfere.

Zenwolf
However I feel this might be an outliar(or maybe oneness?), because if he could do that...then no other TK feat he later has should be any issue...at all.

The planet might also be a force nexus, I remember Yoda mentioning the living rocks were strong with the force iirc

Well it was never indicated that it was.

Galan007
The stones were sentient. As such they were strong with the Force... In fact, the stones were *so* strong/unique in the Force that they were all but immune to Yoda's application of TK initially -- he had to learn from Garro(an inhabitant of the planet) *how* to manipulate them at all. However, it was never once implied in this arc that the planet amped Yoda's powers in any way/shape/form.

What *was* implied is that Yoda experienced a moment of 'oneness' with the Force -- and in that moment, anything was possible:
http://i.imgur.com/z6Mas6V.jpg



That said, Yoda still preformed the initial halting of the mountain(AND the others around him) before it was implied that he became one with the Force... So his raw TK is still very much showcased here. thumb up

MythLord
I take it as meaning this is what an all-out Yoda is capable of.

Probably this and then some. Somehow I doubt that was the full extent of his TK powers.

Sinious
His TK didn't even make Sidious hit the wall, which isn't surprising given the fact that Sidious can tank his own lightning.

Galan007
For more of a sense of scale, here is the creature Yoda fought in its entirety -- when they call it a mountain, they are being quite literal:

An entity having sufficient strength to devastate a world, should be more than capable of pulling that off and then some with TK. Valkorion rarely used TK anyways.

So....Power in Drain=Power in TK? Is that a thing?

Demonstrated power is applicable to pretty much all areas that employ the Force to a greater or lesser degree.

A example would be appreciated... Because I keep thinking Nyriss Husked guards, but her TK showings are lower. Dooku hasn't husked/ashed anyone, inspite of having many showings, yet his TK appears vastly superior.

Gona have to source some stuff.

Darth Nyriss sent Lord Scourge crashing into a wall without a guesture and even looking at him.

TheMuser
fair point :>

TenebrousWay
This feat shows the monstruosity of the Rule of Two.

Galan007
Also worth mentioning that shortly before holding back the mountain-creature, Yoda could barely move a small boulder made of the same, esoteric material -- it literally took all his strength/power to do so:
https://s6d8.turboimg.net/t1/34639028_Star_Wars_2015-_028-019.jpg https://s6d8.turboimg.net/t1/34639029_Star_Wars_2015-_028-020.jpg


So holding back an entire f*cking mountain comprised of said material...within a few hours of the above showing...is a HUGE testament to Yoda's overall prowess with the Force -- his ability to massively grow/evolve/expand his power and knowledge in a very short amount of time. Truly unreal, tbh. thumb up

Valkorion and the Yoda depicted here are not part of the same canon anyway.

^ Well hopefully it's just a Yoda/Palpatine thing, and not a "every Jedi/Sith with a Rep" thing.

Rockydonovang
Should mention that in the subsequent pages, yoda out does valk again and with the help of fcking children(rather than sith lords) reanimates an entire species of living mountains

darthbane77
Upon researching this feat further, it's not as impressive as initially thought. There are many circumstances at play here.

The planet itself is aiding Yoda.

The Mud Dweller kids are aiding Yoda.

Yoda needed to learn a special technique in order to manipulate the mountain efficiently.

Everything on that planet is strong in the Force, even the planet itself is alive.

This leads me to believe that not only was Yoda receiving help from the Mud Dwellers and the planet itself, but that either Yoda was drawing on the Force strength of the mountain itself and/or the planet, but that the planet was also a Nexus.

There is more, and I can bring in scans if need be, but it's gonna take little while to get them all uploaded. Ultimately, while the feat is impressive, the fact the feat was being powered by multiple sources, makes it much less impressive.

Rockydonovang
The mountain was initally stopping him from even throwing rocks, how the hell did you get the idea of yoda getting amped from that

Galan007
Yoda wasn't amped. Anyone who thinks otherwise either: a.) hasn't read the arc in its entirety, or b.) has a severe reading comprehension disability, or c.) is low-balling for the sake of trolling, or d.) all of the above.

It was made clear in the story that Yoda was doing this solo -- it was never once alluded to that he was amped in any way/shape/form. Like I said before: the creature and it's unique living stone-material were very strong in the Force, which allowed it to resist(not amp, lol) even the strongest of Force users -- inc. Yoda himself. That's why he was barely able to move a small boulder comprised of said material a few hours before he confronted the mountain itself(scans posted on the last page.)

Darth Thor
^ Lol nice one Galan.

Vitiate was not fighting Surik at that time. His attention was towards Revan.

MythLord
So either novel Vitiate's TK is vastly inferior to Yoda's, or he has sub-Kas'im reaction timing... mmm

Geistalt
He froze Scourge's lightsaber mid-air to stop him from proving himself.

Only kids and adult losers rave about these feats while ignoring how the characters match up on screen. None of this changes Yoda lifting up a ship in the swamp. None of this makes Yoda defeat Dooku or Palpatine in the films. That matters not a random feat in a comic.

The point is simple just as with comic book characters exclusive feats mater very little when they meet up with their peers. Yoda's feat is ok but it changes nothing. The comic books really emphasize these feats but it doesn't change anything. I'm one of the few consistent posters on the site. I don't use double standards so applaud my consistency and quit being emotional. smile

Let me know when Yoda devastates whole worlds and grand armies of the Republic (and Sith) are not able to stop him in the battlefield.

These kind of feats do nothing to advance Yoda's development as a character and fighter. We all know how it ended for him.

thesithmaster
Someone canonically inferior to Yoda's inferior devastated worlds. That is not putting Valkorion above Yoda.

S_W_LeGenD
Originally posted by thesithmaster

Darth Nihilus and Yoda were never compared in a proper way at any point in the lore. And is a common theme in Star Wars - be it from in-universe narrators or from publishers.

Darth Nihilus is an character - there was tremendous power in his hunger (to the point that he could consume an entire world) but he was far from being a powerful Force-user in conventional respect because he was enslaved to his hunger and risked self-destruction due to it - his body eventually collapsed under the pressures of his hunger and he wouldn't have lasted long without Force-sensitive targets to draw energy from. Darth Traya also pointed out the fact that there was tremendous power in his hunger, but not in him as a Force-user .

Therefore, Yoda >>>>>> Darth Nihilus in conventional sense of power and attunement with the Force but cannot match the the latter in the spectrum of capabilities possible through the unconventional HUNGER factor.

Conversely, Valkorion is a seemingly perfect incarnation of Darth Nihilus - he is not only capable of feats on a similar scale in conventional sense, he has absolute control over himself and his powers . Devastating a world is a far greater demonstration of raw power and capability for a character then strictly target-focused demonstrations (objectively speaking). What we saw on Ziost, is substantially above each demonstration in sheer scale, potency and threat in conventional respects. We see entire armies of the Republic (and Sith) being reduced to mere instruments of violence; we see scores of Jedi and Sith being reduced to mere instruments of violence; we see protagonists moving around in despair and we see an entire world meeting its end.

Yoda is renowned for his extraordinary attunement with the Force but I do not see him as a peer of Valkorion in conventional sense of power and capability.

thesithmaster
Darth Nihilus is canonically inferior to Plagueis thus making him inferior to Yoda. Yoda obviously can't Drain planets but if he knew Drain he very well could.

There's nothing 'canon' about his inferiority. The Plagueis blurb is confirmed as subjective by Leland Chee, and thus is not fact.

Plagueis isn't canonically inferior to Yoda, though.

Yes, blurbs are canon.

According to Chee, there is room for debate, thus, it's about as credible as a reputable characters statement.

Plagueis' is probably more powerful than Nihilus, but he blurb doesn't make it so.

You can argue for them being "canon" or valid (better term), but they're not "factually" canon.

Rockydonovang
Yes they are. That blurbs can be subjective is meaningless unles syou can prove this specific blurb is subjective. Leeland Chee says it clearly applies to all shiz, and the plagueis blurb, as lucas published material qualifies.

It's like sayig Vak isn't factually a sith, when he's fckn stated outright to be one

Deronn_solo
Blurs are licensed to be subjective is pretty cut and clear statement - they are, subjective, and not, as seen by a nuber of people before, unmovable facts. No amount of mental gymnastics, or romanticizing of the text will change that.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Originally posted by NewGuy01

How do you personally think Plagueis fares against Yoda?

Rockydonovang
Blurs can be subjective, that doesn't mean they neccesarily are, and that they have an intended purpose isn't sufficient grounds to consider them invalid when they are officially published by lucasfilm and hence are canon per leeland chee

Deronn_solo
Bingo.




It means they aren't indisputable gospel that you, and a few others have been parroting around. If they are subjective, than they aren't objective, meaning there is room for debate and discussion.

Isn't that lovely?



Yeah, which is to sell books and elicit interest in the reader - in other words, a marketing strategy. I picked up quite a few novels because the blurb was especially interesting.

Rockydonovang
1. They remain canon unless there's a basis for said blur being subjective

2. So?

Azronger
The blurb was subjective to begin with. What's the big deal that everyone's making out of this?

Deronn_solo
And who, or what, gets to decide the basis of that subjectivity? Because from where I stand, you're just performing mental gymnastics at this point.
The point is, blurbs are subjective and can be put under scrutiny if the argument is right.

Case dismissed. thumb up





Your sentence structure confused me.

Rockydonovang
1.Kek, fine, I concede, assuming the "argument is right" regarding the Plagueis blurb
2. Why should I care that it's used for marketing?
