Star Wars Discussion Thread Canon/Legends- Episode VI Return of the Threadi

It was only now that I was researching Star Wars to make CRTS that I realized how skilled trained Force users are? In terms of combat technique.

One of the first trainings for Force-sensitive children (less than 9 years old) is to block blaster beams with all their senses blocked, relying on pure instinctive Force reaction, a reaction that allowed Luke to hit the weak point of the Death Star that was considered impossible to hit even for Sci-fi computers.

So we have Padawans who are > these young people in the initial phase of training, and soon after we have Jedi > padawans (generalizing, because we have examples of padawans sometimes being more skilled than their masters, as in the case of Obi-Wan).

And then we have General Grievous, a non-sensitive who, just by pure skill/technique (without having any supernatural powers), was able to fight and defeat several Jedi at the same time. These same Jedi who, in addition to being as skilled as I mentioned above, have the aid of instinctive reaction, telepathy, precognition, and Force Sense.

And then we have the superior level of skill like Obi-Wan who defeated General Grievous in direct lightsaber combat relatively quickly.

Seriously, after my attempt at a canon cosmology blog, I think I'll try to make a Jedi/Sith art blog or something.
I remember a blog listing the skill feats of Star Wars characters. There was one feat where Vader casually defeats a droid programmed with the knowledge of a hundred swordsmen and fighting styles. It's only for legends tho
 
That's Legends, which is the Grievous I'm referring to since I couldn't give less of a **** about Disney Star Wars.
😭

Because he was purposely nerfed for TCW in comparison to his debut which was the original Clone Wars mini-series, made both less competent and removing some of his stuff he had back in the day. Him fighting Mace is Legends only.
They had to nerf the bro 😭

I wanted some more canon scans of combat skills/techniques. I could only find two interesting ones to put on Vader's profile.
 
Using the force requires skill, right? This reminds me of Re:Zero's skill scaling, where characters are so skilled that they can fight only with their senses. You can make Jedi stupidly skilled if you buy the same BS Re:Zero supporters do

I didn't understand the first question. But using the Force depends on other factors.

The second one, like, we have the Stranger fighting several Jedi during the High Republic in the Acolyte series. He fought only with the helmet that blocked all his senses, he basically only fought guided by the Force.

I meant the force is skill-based. If we associate force sense with skill, then Jedi will be on par with Re: Zero mid tiers in swordsmanship. Figthing with your senses blocked is mad crazy, it will make the average Jedi Knight a skill monster, just imagine the scaling chain....
 
in a legends book, Padawans are able to fight by hearing the breath of their opponents and the way their shoes scrape against the floor. all whilst being blindfolded
 
Guys, it's over, I checked and mind probe can gain mind hax by causing mental damage with continuous use.

And in Rebels the Grand Inquisitor says that the Jedi are trained to resist the mind probe (which is confirmed with Kana, Erza (padawan) and Rey resisting it.

Mind, Telepathy, Memory, Pain hax resistance. gg

I'll just wait for a response from a staff member about the lightsabers.

Legends also have a lot more haxes in comparison to Canon as well

It gets pretty absurd especially if we looking into the Dark Empire arc and all with Force Ghosts and all.

Btw, Mace Windu literally punching droids to death with his Force Enhanced fist in the 2003 Clone War series that predates the later Clone War series.

 
Does anyone know if this calculation is correct? Or does anyone know of a better way to calculate the temperature of a lightsaber? It would be nice to have a concrete number since it is the main weapon.

Not sure and still a guesstimate not exactly confirmed by official sources.

It is unofficial as well so I wouldn’t relied on that completely. Still might been useful for how lightsaber’s temperatures varied (not factoring in any Force amps as well)

Oh, don’t forget, in the 2003 Clone War, Mace Windu literally force crushed General Grevious. He was such a menace to Mace Windu, he just opt to Force Crush the menace.

In the only other version of them fighting this still happens but only after Grievous scares the shit out of him by copying bits and pieces of Vapaad despite it literally requiring the Force to even function whatsoever.

This fight happened during the Battle of Coruscant. Do you remember when that novel take place? If before that scene, it would make sense Mace Windu just instantly force crushed General Grevious after Grevious “captured” Palpatine.

RotS novelization.
Actually the other fight also takes place during the Battle of Coruscant in the novel Labyrinth of Evil (which contradicts 2003 CW, unless you try and get creative with the timeline).
 
Gonna love conflicting materials in Legend continuity. Joy
How do you deal with this? I know there is the ABCD canon, I don't know what.

But with decades of stories, novels, and legendary series written by different people and writers, there will obviously be conflicts.

How do you decide what is most valid?

Before the Legends and Disney Canon split, it used to been called Expanded Universe with rules of canonicity if memories serves me right.

In fact, the Star Wars wiki has a lot of sources to solve that issue.

Oh before I forget to list them completely, if we use EU’s old canonicity rules, here is the list:

  1. G Canon (George Lucas Canon)
  2. T Canon (Television Canon)
  3. C Canon (Continuity Canon)
  4. S Canon (Secondary Canon)
  5. D Canon (Detour Canon)
  6. N (Non Canon)
However, they have long since abandoned those rules ever since the split occurred.

Should we even count TCW as part of Legends? It's considered a higher canon compared to Legends, and it's filled with hundreds upon hundreds of contradictions that creates timeline problems all over the place, and even has shit like Grievous losing to a bunch of Gungans

Filoni even said Legends and TCW are two separated universes

Yes, TCW has been repeatedly upheld as a stable of Legends, second only in priority of continuity to the movies themselves.

It creates a ton of contradictions because Filoni can’t control himself, but he was explicitly given a higher mandate.

Whether we like it or not, it is officially a part of Legends by Lucasfilm’s mandate, and takes priority over C-Canon material.

As mentioned above, for Legends there is a hierarchy of canonical sources that are grouped into tiers, with higher tiers taking priority over lower tiers:
  1. G-Canon: The 6 original movies plus some unknown lore addendums Lucas submitted to the Holocron.
  2. T-Canon: The 2008 TCW show.
  3. C-Canon: Most common media, books, comics, video games, etc. Within this tier, it has been stated that the radio dramas and movie novelizations take priority.
  4. S-Canon: Sources stated to be of lower priority, as well as things like video game statistics. Also includes most of the Star Wars Tales comics.
  5. N-Canon: Sources contradicted entirely or in large part by higher sources, or sources explicitly stated to be non-canon. Includes the Infinities, What-Ifs stories, the Insider magazine, Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles, etc.
Beyond that, Leland Chee (the guy in charge of the Holocron, responsible for tracking and establishing continuity by Lucasfilm) has highlighted that visibility (more viewed media taking priority) and date of publication (more recent works taking priority) are two of the key criteria used to determine which source takes priority over another within a tier.
 
Mind, Telepathy, Memory, Pain hax resistance. gg
A resistance to fear and paralysis and the Jedi would already have a good resistance to common things on the wiki.

There is the standard fear manipulation of force power, but it is said to magnify, we don't know how strong it is. I guess I can't give them resistance based on "They showed no fear when facing force-sensitives"

Speaking of which, I think that after the CRT I made now, all Jedi will have P&A very similar to the most skilled ones in Rezero, at least in terms of number of skills.

Since it will be like this:

Some of them are even superior to Rezero, like Force Sense, which is simply a ridiculous level of Galactic/interdimensional.

And all of this for common Jedis, without any kind of scale chain.

Force sense go brrrrrrr

Btw do Canon Jedi resist precog like their legends counterparts do?

I just realized the Ligthsaber's would be very op on vs threads once we have a calc fro their heat

I don't know, and I don't know if I want that.

Analytical prediction is more common than pure Precognation, so them having resistance doesn't matter much.

It would actually make the skill level of Jedis defeating other Jedi/Sith a little worse, because it would be up to them to defeat someone with Precognation, to defeat someone without Precognation.

Although it wouldn't affect General Grievos' skill level, which is part of the scale for higher levels.

Resistance to analytical prediction on the other hand would be very good.

I just realized the Ligthsaber's would be very op on vs threads once we have a calc fro their heat
That's why I want to find a calculation for this or find someone to calculate it.

Because depending on the thing, it will basically make their tier 8-A not matter for some battles.
 
Huh, I just realized many disney profiles don't have heat/plasma manip via Lightsabers (ex.Ahsoka)

I've already done the CRT. The lightsaber is listed in standard Jedi equipment, etc.
