I don't know if I should even compare them to Jedi or Sith, because while witchers aren't ordinary people, the same can be said about Force users, only much more so.
What do you think?
After all, the planet-destroying beam was generated from the combined power of enormous kyber crystals. A gigantic lightsaber, in a sense. And not even red like the Sith, but green, which is typical of the Jedi.
What the Jedi wielded for thousands of years, maintaining peace and balance in the galaxy, now became a tool of terror in the hands of their greatest enemies.
I realize that the Rule of Two must have focused on quietly expanding their influence within the Republic as much as on acquiring power.
However, I have the impression that 1,000 years is enough that, even with such a necessary division of time and resources, they could have presented the Jedi with a multitude of dangerous new tricks, instead of only being able to demonstrate what the Sith already knew thousands of years ago, like Force lightning.
This may not be a problem for others, but for me, it undermines the message that these two orders haven't directly clashed in over a millennium.
This is reminiscent of how Dooku described Sidious:
“And then there was Palpatine, of course: he was beyond power. He showed nothing of what might be within. Though seen with the eyes of the dark side itself, Palpatine was an event horizon. Beneath his entirely ordinary surface was absolute, perfect nothingness. Darkness beyond darkness.
A black hole of the Force.”
For me, watching Simba react to it was always more painful than Mufasa's death itself.
He's a great character, but we don't have much time to bond with him.
Stoick is a completely different story. He had real character development, eventually growing into something important, even fundamental to his universe.
His death truly takes something away. It also seems incredibly unfair. First, Hiccup lost his mother at such a young age that he didn't even remember her, then 20 years later he found her, allowing him to have his family back together. All only to be left with one parent again moments later.
I'm surprised they remembered this even in the Clone Wars.
Nicely emphasizes the difference in power.
Since much weaker Sith Lords like Tenebrous and Desolous mastered them, nothing should have stopped him from doing the same.
Even if he preferred normal lightning because it didn't kill his target instantly and instead inflicted pain, which he relished, it would have been nice to know he could have used its most powerful version if he so desired.
Especially since he always focused on learning and developing the secrets of the dark side.
Isn't that the most powerful variant of this technique?
He's one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, Force user in the history of the galaxy, and at this very moment, he's at the peak of his dark side powers. He's the embodiment of 1,000 years of development of the Bane Sith line.
And you're telling me someone like that could be thrown down a shaft like some lifeless effigy?
Sure, I can understand that, distracted by the joy of torturing Luke with Force lightning, he could have been surprised by Anakin and even picked up, but I can't imagine him not immediately realizing what was happening and not trying to defend himself with at least a Force push.
I realize that the plot required it, but in that case one could say that it was the emperor's greatest weakness, not his overconfidence.
PS, I know Lucas tried to explain it by saying that Palpatine had become so powerful in the dark side of the Force that he no longer understood any positive emotions (if Vader had attacked him out of anger rather than love for his son, Palpatine would have realized it and fried him) and was certain he had broken Vader, which is why he was defeated so easily. Still, it just doesn't convince me.
The rest look completely human, and unless they unleash a wave of aura or magic, no one would suspect them of being demons.
Meanwhile, Diablo not only has permanently black demonic eyes but can also transform his limbs, giving them long claws.
Does all this mean he's unique among his siblings?
Which trailer do you think made the most effort to match the soundtrack?
I'm torn between the first and second.
Seriously, although the soundtrack was generally on par with the visual effects throughout the film, this one, Resolution, is one of my favorites, alongside Divine.
Many complain about this aspect of the depiction of this process. They say it was either too quick, too influenced by outside interference, or simply idiotic.
In which case did you feel these feelings the least, or none at all?
If so, he held back quite well when striking Luke, even when he was about to kill him. On the other hand, if he had done this on the Death Star, he could have grounded it or even brought about its destruction himself.
I realize these are two different levels of power, but even then, underestimating the weaker side can hurt the stronger.
How much in this case?
If so, he held back quite well when striking Luke, even when he was about to kill him. On the other hand, if he had done this on the Death Star, he could have grounded it or even brought about its destruction himself.
Whenever I see various Dark Lords pitted against Mace, when it comes to this form of combat, regardless of the Sith's swordplay or experience, he's practically awarded the victory due to Vaapad and Shatter Points.
In Cadeus's case, however, the situation is completely different. The fandom is decidedly more cautious and doesn't readily grant Windu victory.
Why is this? What makes this Dark Lord such a dueling threat to perhaps the greatest swordsman of the prequel era, who literally wields kryptonite against Sith?
According to Lucas, if not for the wounds on Mustafar, Vader could have become twice as powerful as Palpatine at his full potential.
In my opinion, Sidious could even surpass that number with this body, considering all his dark side knowledge and the fact that, unlike Vader, he had no inhibiting internal conflict, being completely committed to the dark path he chose.
