Actually, it's this very reason why Jedi tend to use the force on others indirectly rather than directly. It's much simpler to toss a nearby light at your opponent rather than to break through their defenses to hit them directly. It can be done (like with a strong force push) but it's difficult.

A lot of those are simply applications of Trakata, or turning off your Lightsaber and turning it back on to bypass an opponent's defences. Takes extreme practice and focus to pull off.

Well, i did just read something about how in the starwars universe, people are getting worse and worse with sabers.

Prequels had a full jedi order and plenty of training. Luke got a week of training with Obiwan and a month with Yoda. Barely learned any saber-skills, beat vader anyway because vader was an old cripple who didn't really want to kill him.

Kylo ren only knows part of what luke knew when he ran away to be evil, Finn and Rey know nothing at all.

Obiwan was right. "An elegant weapon of a more civilized age"
Well the techniques and skills needed to use one properly have all but been forgotten.

You're not right, but you're not entirely wrong either. There are lightsabers that are constructed in a way that only the owner can activate or deactivate it. An extension of that is the lightsabers that only stay activated when the owner is in contact with it, so if it's knocked out of their hands their opponent can't pick it up and use it against them.

No, you don't have to, there's literally a button on it. In some of the earlier drafts the lightsaber would resonate with the user (e.g. Vader lighting up Luke's saber would cause it to glow red), but that has been since abandoned and the color of the blade came from the color of crystal used.

General grievous was not in any way force sensitive and was capable of lightsaber combat, though your typical mortal would likely dismember themselves with it if they'd try.

it's stupid dangerous to use because a slip or a parry could deflect into yourself... not because it's impossible to use sans force powers.

They really under used the force in favor of lightsabers in the prequels, much to my disdain, I think that force battles without all the complete ruining of "size matters not" would be the best thing possible for the star wars series. Instead of Yoda pulling out his little baby lightsabers and freaking the **** out with his dancing ways, he could not use a lightsaber at all, and, you know, beat the **** outta people with the force. Force suppressing entire waves of armies, force pushing armies of droids, but instead he jumps around waving a little baby lightsaber, he is literally limited by his size when everything he was saying about the force in The Empire Strikes Back, was about how little your physical apperance was, how strong you were, how powerful physically had nothing to do with the inner strength that came with being in tune with the Force.

tl;dr George Lucas doesn't know the first thing about the universe he created (or story telling for that matter), he only made the prequels to make money, and the main focus was to put anakin in the darth vader suit which destined the series for failure (btw who the **** let him put space politics into the ******* thing, like, if you took out all the space politic bull, it'd still be bad, but at least it wouldn't be bad as well as boring, the political side did literally nothing to help the story, was horrifically written, and basically made it out that the galaxy was populated with a bunch of idiots who are sub jar-jar when it comes to thought process, the prequels were utter **** .)

Did you miss not watch either of Yodas duels? In his first one against Dooku they start out using the force, and against Palpatine they stop using their lightsaber to have a force battle.

And please go on with the George bashing, if George truly only made the prequels for money instead of movies he enjoyed making he would have made all three about darth vader killing jedi, because thats what fans wanted.

And saying "George Lucas doesn't know the first thing about the universe he created " just because you disliked the prequels. George lucas told the story he wanted to tell.

Yoda earth bended a couple rocks at Dooku, and then flips around and **** for like 5 minutes, then throws a cylinder thing and then flips some more, then lets dooku get away, with palpatine he does the flip **** thing then catches some lightning more flip **** , more flip **** , somehow loses and crawls through a ******* air vent to a getaway ship. And if George really didn't make the movie, then they would've been , idk decent, and what was the story he wanted to tell, because episode one didnt have a story, jedi try to settle a blockade and genocide of a people, which for some reason is legal if they kidnap the queen (who has the treaty power, until the 2nd movie when the senator suddenly gains the power to make treaties) (I'm ignoring the gungans part, that's just too easy) then the jedi's rescue the queen, get to her ship and run through the blockade (the whole sequence was trashed together to get R2-D2 slammed into the movie) then their hyperdrive breaks so they stop on tatooine. Then they off load everyone, and by everyone I mean one jedi, one handmaiden (the queen in disguise) and an amphibian (yes the return of the gungans) into an outer rim world controlled by slug gangsters who used to rule the galaxy tens of thousands of years ago, then they meet 9-10 year old anakin skywalker (he should've been 14-16 in my opinion) and then they throw in C-3P0 for no reason (I mean, its okay I guess but was it necessary for them to put him in like that?) then they can't afford the new hyperdrive because they dont take republic credits like 100 light years from a major trade route, one that's important enough to be blockaded. So they take little Anakin and they use his brand new, still being put together pod racer in a sanctioned event (insert jabba for no reason), bet literally everything on it, hoping that the 9-10 year old wins, then the one jedi there doesnt sense the sabotage of the podracer which leads to anakin not only starting way behind everyone else, but almost dying. Then they find out that the micro organisms in his blood are super high and he's basically jedi jesus (this is where Georgie doesnt know his own ******* universe) so small beings in our blood? make the force? and theyre everywhere? is that what surrounds us? flows through us? (Because I seem to remember Yoda saying some **** about the physical matter we're made of not being important) any way thats the first half of the nightmare that is episode, then we see space politics for a good 20 minutes (the movie starts off with 26 minutes of destroying robots and space politics) they go back to naboo after the jedi are like, anakin cant be a jedi, so they take anakin to naboo too i guess, then instead of leaving him with the ship, or like, taking him else where, they take him to the assault on the palace, and then into the palace, and then into the hangar with all the droids that wanna kill everyone. and then he flies a star fighter into the droids one (remember the 20 plus ships at the beginning, yeah they're gone) This is all while 3 other battles are going on (gundams part 2) the gungans are fighting a droid army, and we dont care about it, the queen is fighting to the throne room, and we only care because Natalie Portman, and Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon fight the most under used character in the films Darth Maul (The title character btw he has about 8 minutes of screen time) So anakin blows up the droid ship, and saves the gungans and the queen, and qui-gon and obi-wan have a battle that is delayed by energy shields for the sole purpose of letting darth maul kill Qui-Gon, and Obiwan just doesnt use his force dash, or push or any of that when Qui-Gon should've waited for him once he saw that Obi-Wan was behind him, and so qui-gon a bye-gon, and obi-wan somehow bashes darth maul in 2 and the coolest dude in the prequels gets thrown out like garbage. then we get more space politics for the next 20 ******* MINUTES, and the movie ends. 1 character left, George is an idiot.

I will respect your opinion, but wow, when was the last time you watched TPM?

Also, why did you have to make it a huge wall of text? Some space would have been nice. And im only gonna reply to some of your points

Complaining about space politics thats barely in the film. In the film the only time anyone discuss politics is on Coruscant, In TPM coruscant takes up 15 minutes of the film, with most of the scenes on coruscant not being about politics

The phantom menace is not Darth Maul, its his master Palpatine.

Darth Maul dies at the 2 hours and 4 minute mark, after his death there is no politic scenes. Theres Qui Gons funeral, discussion of Anakin being Obi wan´s apprentice and the parade. The credits start at 2:09:53, not even close to twenty minutes.

The reason theres only one trade federation ship at the end of the film is because its the control ship. The other ships were only there to transport droids to the planet and block ships, seeing that the trade federation have complete control of the planet the other ships are unnecessary.

They say in the movie that the hutts have control of Tatooine, thats the reason Jabba (and some other hutts in the background are there) but i agre that its unnecessary

To anyone wondering, no you cannot actually do this.

As Darth Bane described, all force users and even some exceptionally talented or lucky non-force users (such as Han Solo) are 'protected' by the force to the extent that incredibly accurate/precise use of it to them is nearly impossible.

You cannot force push your opponent's gut specifically, for example, as the shield evens it out amongst their whole person and pushes 'all' of them. Even something like force choke also often crushes the body itself as well, and it's only the throat alone that is crushed first.

incorrect
at least i...i think so. To the best of my knowledge, Star Wars doesn't go into a whole lot of biophysical explanation on the matter....

but technically from what little I know, the Force originates in the midichlorians, which are tiny microorganisms that reside within the body's cells
--assuming fprce strength follows a simple quantum relation (i.e. each little midichlorian provides a single quantified 'amount' of link to the Cosmic Force, and thus it is the population of midichlorians that determines a user's potential strength with the Force) then technically they too are drawing from the thousands or tens of thousands of actual 'Force-users' within the body; the Jedi's job is simply to guide them

i imagine Ermac works in much the same way, but i could be wrong when crossing universes because....i mean.....what about Noob Saibot? the **** is up with that?
Reply

User avatar #75 to #65 - captainprincess ONLINE (01/04/2016) [-]
Well no
because ermac isnt drawing on anything within his system
he is literally drawing on the power of like thousands of souls

Ermac is a walking legion
and every soul within him, if he were to be using the force, would possess their own force sensitivity, midichlorians or not

because if it's going to be strictly things in your blood
Ermac doesnt have any
He is a vessel for souls given form by necromancy

Saibot is saibot hes like some dark revival of bihan the original subzero, corrupted by chaosrealm or something like that i forget

well....eh i'm not gonna split hairs with crossover semantics

but for what its worth, i think its technically the same idea

even if there are no organisms within his blood, Ermac's power derives itself from the number of souls, right?
meaning that, in at least some small capacity, the power is not his but belongs at least in part to each of the souls that comprise him

regardless of whether they're in his blood or 'necromantically' bound to his person [whatever form that is..], they still comprise him and he would be powerless without them, right?



and yeah i do vaguely recall the history behind Noob but any explanation of the physics of his abilities is ... i mean i'm not even gonna try

I would still say then that basically

I would argue that he as atleast some multiple of what 1 force user has, give or take said force user's actual force strength
Reply

#87 to #79 - AnonymousDonor ONLINE (01/04/2016) [-]
ahh well then i could only agree or disagree depending on the standard unit of measurement we ascribe to "1 force user"

but let's start with the micro-semantics:

1 midichlorian is definitely probably not equal to 1 of Ermac's souls .......though it's hard to tell really since i cannot find anywhere a numerical value for how many souls comprise his legion............although they say that it is 'a fusion of the many souls destroyed in Outworld's wars'.....and considering Outworld and what little i know of its war-torn history, i would assume that there are between several thousand and at least several hundred thousand souls within Ermac

..................whereas apparently the highest midichlorians were >20,000 found in Anakin Skywalker..........though they never mentioned what unit of measurement; i.e. it's hard to believe a small blood sample could give the full body count but they conveniently left out the specifics e.g. 20,000 per cubic millimeter? 20,000 per cubic inch? 20,000 in the whole body? ........of course this measurement could make all the difference, but let's assume they magically determined the full thing and there are only 20,000 in the entire body of Darth Vader

considering what Darth Vader (at full power) and Ermac can do Force-wise....well again you have to clarify where we're getting our facts since DV didn't really use a whole lot of Force in the movies but, for example, i've been immersing myself in Star Wars **** recently primarily the Force Unleashed, to be specific and, regardless of what Darth Vader does do, the premise is that he has the potential to surpass any Force-based action of any Jedi, being that ~20,000 midichlorians is the upper limit of potential Force ability............
................SO point being that i have recently seen enough Star Wars paraphernalia of late that I think the strongest Jedi can easily match and likely surpass Ermac......not by a whole lot, but the difference is significant enough to me

which brings us back to the question of just how many souls Ermac is comprised of
--given the paltry representation of numerous numerous beings in Outworld, I could make room for the idea that in all of Outworld's wars prior to the creation of Ermac assuming he isn't constantly being renewed and strengthened by every new war Outworld starts there are less than 20,000 souls within Ermac, and, if we yield that Darth Vader at peak is only slightly stronger than Ermac, then it would follow that each of Ermac's souls are, piecewise, stronger than the individual midichlorian
------but that's a lot of IFs.......

--practically, however, I think that Outworld is supposed to be comprised of a massive population [the kind you'd expect to find in a realm comparable to the whole planet of Earth] numbering at least in the multi millions, which means that less than about 0.001% of the population would have had to be killed in the wars whose deaths were involved in the creation of Ermac -- which, btw, doesn't even count the lives of those Outworld warred against -- in order to keep that soul count under 20,000,............knowing the nature of Outworld, I would say that such a small percentage of population not exposed to war would be difficult to believe at best.......in other words, I think the total population of souls at Ermac's command is almost certainly greater than 20,000
------in which case, it would follow that a midichlorian is indeed more potent than 1 of Ermac's souls

BUT, coming full circle, the question was meant to compare force users, not force sources

in which case i would indeed say Ermac could very well be better than the majority of Force users, assuming a Normal distribution with Darth Vader and the like 2+ standard deviations from the mean

but only if the amount of midichlorians in the average Jedi is also Normally distributed

Have a switch that has to be constantly pressed down, and a small channel that it can be pushed into when depressed. Press button, slide button down and into the channel. Finish fight and slide button back out.

I think there was an explain for this but basically there's like a force-shield preventing anything too "CQ" to happen (i.e. being able to choke, lightning, push constantly, Etc.).

Because most lightsabers' activating buttons need to continuously be held down to work, so pressing a button they are already pressing gets you nowhere.

There, that is your boring answer.

Lightsabers can be kept on via the force, also most lightsabers use an activator switch (or button) to turn it on. So...attempting to turn off an opponent's lightsaber would be pretty damn pointless.

Star wars sucks, the movie is **** , the story is **** , and the animation is **** . The only "decent" thing that came of it were the games. Also, all the jokes about star wars are **** unless that joke is about how **** star wars is.

That's why only Jedi run around with light sabers (don't come around with any EU stuff.) Light saber battles are not only about the sabers but also about control of your surroundings through the force!

Hate to be that guy, but Grievous didn't have force powers so your point is flawed. Yes, the force is best used with them, but you really don't need it as long as you know what you're doing.

He's actually a cyborg. He has organic parts. Obi-wan was using the force on him, but that wasn't your point or mine. You said a saber duel was about using the force when obviously you don't need it as evidence with Grievous who has been able to take on multiple Jedi at a time.

i assumed they are ALSO about the force! grevious is kind of an anomaly, but i wouldn't count fights with him to all the other light saber fights! the same with his body guards with those electro-spears!

if you could just deactivate other peoples' laser swords, force users would have found out about that long ago!

"...but i wouldn't count fights with him to all the other light saber fights!"

But it very clearly is a saber duel with someone who is not a force user which you said " only Jedi run around with light sabers". I figured you meant all force users when you said Jedi since obviously the Sith do it to. Grievous was not a force user, yet he was able to duel just fine and killed many force users. That's why he has all those lightsabers. He got them from dead Jedi as trophies. By saying you don't count Grievous is basically saying you won't take the best example of why you don't need to force to use a saber just because he doesn't have the force. He is literally the prime example of why your whole statement is false.

>if you could just deactivate other peoples' laser swords, force users would have found out about that long ago!

It would take concentration to find the switch for the saber which is located on a different place on every saber. Not only that, but it would extremely difficult to fight and use the force to find the button. Some sabers even have a pressure switch so if their hands let go, the saber will deactivate, but if they hold it it will always be on so there would be no way to really use the force to turn it off short of breaking it. There is also a thing called grip. Grievous had robotic hands so it would be difficult to use the force to pry it out of his hands while he's attacking you.
