What was the most devastating/miraculous thing ever done by a jedi, or group of jedi, Vader said that the power to destroy a planet is insigificant next to the force, yet we've never seen a jedi destroy a planet purely with force, (ie- using a force storm, or shooting a beam from his hand at it) Was the most powerful Jedi ever Exar Kun/Naga Sadow perhaps?

1. Anakin, Yoda, and perhaps Luke Skywalker are all more powerful than Naga Sadow.

2. The Force-storm that destroyed the Executor was a hugely powerful one.

3. Vader's "ability to destroy a planet" quote most likely referred to his philosophical belief that the Force could allow its wielders to control the Galaxy, as he was doing at the time.

4. The other candidate for the most powerful Force-technique ever observed was the Jedi Academy trilogy's movement of an entire fleet of Star Destroyers over the distance of several light-years in just seconds. True, this was not a repeatable event, but it still demonstrated unimaginable power.

I read something about the Sith Lords of old at some point being able to destroy stars with their Force power; then again, this may be another KJA kleenex-leaving.

Ossus, wasn't the Eclipse destroyed by a force storm? The Executor was destroyer when it collided with DS2.

Maybe we'll see some powerful force acts in Ep. 3.

Didn't they also need a force focusing pyramid, and some of them croaked after it? that's not that powerful, an 120 light years hyperdrive gets you 2 light years in 2 minutes, and it IS repeatable, and there are faster hyperdrives.

Palp also using Ressurection abilities is pretty high.

Avoiding death is not physically powerful but speaks volumes of what that means for the person.

That and yes Kintaro found a small oops in Ossus' comment...that and it swallowed numerous ships before such and he did it quickly.

I thought Naga Sadow destroyed stars with the force, is it easier or harder to destroy an earth sized terrestrial planet than a star?

D'OH! Yes, I was referring to the Eclipse. Sorry, everyone.

Eclipse.

They did need a Force-focusing pyramid, and one of them was killed in the effort (so it's not repeatable), but that's the thing. The Force-shove pushed those ISD's so far that they could NOT return to Yavin IV for a substantial period of time--so long that their attack plan would have been invalidated. Since even slow hyperdrives can easily travel hundreds of light years, they must have been shoved for a substantial distance in a hurry, or seriously damaged in the attempt. Either or both of these would have required substantial amounts of energy.

They were hurled superluminally.

Because of this, and other bits, Valiento corresponded with KJA, who said that the trick the students pulled is a variation/related to Palpatine's Force Storm ability.

How is that so? Given that Naga Sadow has actually destroyed stars while they have not.

Anakin is openly lauded as the most powerful Force sensitive ever. Anakin himself believes his son has even greater potential.

I dunno if that really means anything, it seems subjective compared to witnessing of actual accomplishments, just like how God is openly lauded to be omnipotent yet can't defeat bronze age soldiers because they have iron chariots.

Don't forget his little amulet thing helped.

It's a wildcard yes, but I believe it was not a power amulet, but a mental focusing amulet.

That's an assumption you're using that your assertion (blowing up the star is a direct application of his power alone) depends on.

Furthermore, the star destruction shown in the beginning of the KoToR w/ Kun and such showed two stars slamming together. This is so impossible it must be an exaggerated history recorded in the Holocron.

Furthermore, the device in Sadow's ship was able to be triggered by Aleema Keto, who was comparitively weak, to destroy the Cron cluster.

Actually I believe there are two kinds of "power", the raw power of people like Anakin, Yoda and Luke, and the great abilities of people like Naga Sadow and Dooku and also Yoda in this category.
I believe the amulet enhanced ones focus and ability to wield the force.

I'd say no, the Jedi already violate stuff like conservation of momentum and such, so I say, don't knock it if you got it, and we got it.
And you say this is in the beginning of KoToR? The game? Do you like have some preview or something?
