Would you guys find this as a semi reliable comparison? Example would be how Palpatines first death brought back balance to the Force, Ragnos death causing ripples in the Force, and C'baoths death blasting thru the side of a mountain. Ofc not every character has a such an illustrious death but was wondering your guys' thoughts.

Awesome, Tenebrae's death sent a shockwave through the cosmic Force that was felt by all Force sensitives and was capable of knocking them out, ones even as strong as Satele Shan tier. His death also automatically healed two entire voids in the Force.

Agreed, just like how when Kun died nothing important happened, good measure

AncientPower
He never actually died though, he ascended into a disembodied form using a ritual. Weak bait is weak.

His spirit died and nothing important happened. laughing

DarkTransfer69

when Plagueis died, the solar system trembled.

It was contained in a wall of light and destroyed, of course nothing important happened.

Plagueis definitely had the most overt effect upon his death, with him rearranging the orbits of celestial bodies by manipulating dark matter across the galaxy. The reason I don't think Sidious' was of the same magnitude was because he retained his consciousness and all his power the first two times, and during the third he was in an extremely compromised condition and his spirit was forcefully dragged back to Chaos by every Jedi ever rather than explosively dissolving into the cosmos.

AncientPower
Ayyy. Still peddling that as literal.

The irony here is inexplicable.

AncientPower
Given the consequences of him literally causing orbits to destabilise, there's no irony at all. Keep fishing, I'm sure you'll use better bait.

Quite frankly the prose of the Plagueis prologue sounds anything but figurative, but I'd agree that in the greater context of the story it's difficult to explain why this wasn't some sort of major storyline where everyone wonders why celestial orbits suddenly altered on a galactic scale.

In either case, Sidious and Plagueis's deaths seem to have the greatest cosmic impact.

Yeah, depends on whether you value grandiose physical alteration over less tangible cosmic influence.

The Emperor's death restored balance to an omnipresent cosmic energy field from which all others derive their power, so I'm going with that.

Though plagueis/Valk is debatable.
Sidious reigns supreme.

Side Note, Lukes presence literally made stars brighter(aka made them exert more energy)
