>"Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant to the power of the Force."
What did Darth Vader mean by this? Are mild telepathic powers truly stronger than the ability to vaporize entire planets and kill billions in the matter of seconds?
You know how religious people say faith can movie mountains? Kinda like that.
Michael Williams
Yes it is.
Joseph Edwards
luke destroyed the death star with that mild telepathic power
Justin Howard
No, the Death Star was destroyed because one of the lead engineers put in a design flaw specifically to have it destroyed :^)
Elijah Reed
Well said technological terror got destroyed by a teenager with the force so he wasn't wrong
Austin Bailey
And some photon torpedoes.
Juan Watson
The Force includes mind manipulation.
Check mate atheists.
Adrian Bennett
At the time this line was written the force was a mystery, so he was right for all we knew at the time. Before we knew what force users can do, and before the Emperor was a Sith lord.
Turns out the Death Star was commissioned by the greatest Sith to ever exist, so I guess he felt that the ability to destroy a planet is pretty useful after all.
In universe excuse is that Luke used the force to blow up the death star. So force > death star.
Elijah Thompson
When that line was written, said powerful sith wasn't envisioned yet, so what he said was true, from a contemporary point of view
Thomas Perez
A "design flaw" that was supposed to be impossible to exploit, but the Force is bullshit, so...
Sebastian Cook
True. The force works in mysterious ways. As does pottery.
Cooper Stewart
PLANETS DON'T HAVE MINDS
Jayden Rodriguez
Darth nihilus destroyed a whole planet of force users with just the force.
Brandon Jenkins
Darth Noncanonius destroyed the whole universe and then remade it back in .4 of a second.
My fan fiction is better.
Noah Adams
Sheev conquered whole galaxy thanks to the force. So yeah
Colton Bell
Delete this comment, it hurts my feelings
Connor Hernandez
>Everyone is having a fine discussion on the Death Star, the rebels, and the Galactic Senate >Vader interrupts out of nowhere and starts talking about the force
Did he have autism?
Noah Gray
You seem to be really defensive about what happens in your children's movies.
Isaac Nguyen
kek
Connor Thompson
Have you seen the prequels?
Jeremiah Turner
He meant that no man's construct can ever go against the Way of the Universe. In the end, it will all be as it was supposed to be.
Connor Edwards
Vader saw this little man for what he was, a jabbering monkey with a stick. He had to put him in his place, and he did.
Michael Brooks
From a contemporary point of view, the high ground was evil
Ethan Richardson
So Force wanted all those Jedi/Clones/Rebels/Stormtroopers to be killed and Alderaan to be destroyed?
Austin Russell
>yfw the Force is gravity
Robert Stewart
Don't forget those fucking younglings.
The force works in mysterious ways.
Brayden Watson
Stop believing in your ancient religion.
Angel Johnson
hokey religion
Cooper Evans
>clones >not unnatural aberrations
The force had every right to genocide those monstrosities!
Jaxon Moore
>present space-year >believing in hokey religions and ancient weapons
Brody Thomas
>Actaully Han, the force is real. I, myself, your close friend, have fought alongside the force using grand master of the Jedi Order, Yoda, in the Clone Wars on my home planet. >I assure you Han, it is not joke. >But then again, it's not like you understand anything I say to you, Han.
You said it Chewie.
Noah Hill
It's not impossible. I used to bullseye womprats with my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than 2 meters.
Jonathan Cox
>yfw you see the entire spectrum of the force
Feels good not to be an fool who deals in absolutes
Owen Nguyen
Excuse me?
Jaxson Phillips
Well in the long term I would say yes the force is more powerful. In terms of destruction of course the Death Star is stronger but the ability to manipulate people and things at will can cause more vast consequences then merely destroying a planet.
Grayson Gonzalez
If I was Vader I would use force to crush his head
Makes no sense, because Kyber crystals, which are used by the Death Star, are Force-attuned.
So ROGUE ONE makes A New Hope even more fucked up.
Eli King
Don't "choke" on your aspirations.
Hunter Watson
>Death Star >blew up one planet and was taken out by a kid who felt the force >The Force >has been used to take control of the entire galaxy multiple times
Checkmate Atheists.
Christian Collins
>Kyber crystals lol
Jeremiah Gray
Who made the Death Star? By the Empire. Who created the Empre? Sheev. How did Sheev create the Empire? With the force.
atheists: 0 catholics: 100000
Angel Brown
That's what I thought they were mining on the desert planet.
Noah Richardson
Maybe, but that's some wookiepdia level of obscure shit that no one cares or knows about.
Gavin Clark
>atheists: 0 >catholics: 100000
Is that a checkmate?
Brody Campbell
and the weapon uses force-attuned crystals. So the Death Star is powered by the force.
Jonathan Miller
They did. They mentioned Kyber in the movie
Camden Kelly
They mention them several times in Rogue One
Matthew Rivera
>Kyber crystals >Cyber crystals
what were they thinking, this is like that "order 66" bullshit again
Samuel Rogers
Yeah and no one cares about generic MacGuffins in Star Wars anymore than they do in Marvel movies.
Ask a normie about it and he won't have a clue wtf you are talking about.
Ethan Foster
The point is that rogue one contradicts Vader's speech that OP posted.
Nicholas Roberts
...
Robert Jenkins
Normies wouldn't go to Star Wars spin-off flick
Daniel Smith
Terrible b8.
Dylan Powell
We already established that ANH was written before vast majority of the lore was developed.
The emperor isn't a Sith in ANH, Vader isn't Luke's father and the "Sith" are mercenary pirates.
Cameron Wood
You have to care now. You have to.
Mason Cox
came here to post this
Ryan Butler
Why would they? There's literally nothing interesting in that movie for people who don't care about Star Wars
Kevin Bailey
did you watch the end of the movie? where Luke uses the Force and blows up the Death Star
hmmmmmmm
Ian Perez
Fuck off nigger.
Benjamin Rivera
Are you a Disney exec or something?
Alexander Collins
But he doesn't.
Lincoln Adams
>get btfo >s-shill! Every time. Not even him either, faggot.
Angel Foster
Why? Did I somehow imply that I am taking pride in the fact that a shitty movie is making bank, as if I had a personal stake in it?
Once more, fuck off nigger, the normies ate this movie up, and they will continue to do so with anything with "Star Wars" in the title for the next decade or so.
Also, stay in highschool.
Jaxon Wilson
Death Star is only technology easily destroyed, which it was twice. The force is super space magic that can't be destroyed.
Isaac Stewart
Vader knew the Death Star was bullshit.
James Cox
Thrice.
When will the Empire learn.
Lucas Campbell
Star Wars is the biggest franchise in the world. Adult fans and children can easily give them that kind of money. They don't need normies.
Aiden Cruz
I'm not the other other guy, you stupid fuckwit. He was so goddamned triggered he posted box office numbers for Christ's sake.
Samuel Long
TFA isn't a star wars film
Thomas Clark
I can't tell if I'm being b8ed anymore. But here is your, theoretical, (you) for the effort.
David Bailey
Edgy.
Camden Gomez
Go fuck yourself, you whiny faggot.
Michael Butler
Well yeah because if all the people on the planet are Jedi who know how to become ghosts then even if you kill them they'll just all haunt the Death Star and the crew will be too spooked to operate it properly.
Dylan Ramirez
It's co-written by the guy who co-wrote the best Star Wars movie though.
Jack Bell
This.
Lucas Lee
Diversity defeated the death star you fucking shit lords
Thomas Stewart
They mention it multiple time in the movie. Go watch it before you poop post
Ayden Young
I don't care, still irrelevant.
Gavin Mitchell
You need to learn how to read, this is a third user pointing out how fucking retarded you are
Eli Edwards
The death star can be constructed by using the power of the force, but the force cannot be constructed with a death star.
Josiah Bell
No, white males did. Nearly everything that has ever happened in history, good and bad, has been ultimately been caused by white males. Because we are the closest things to Gods in this universe. We enslave. We kill. We destroy civilizations. White males conquered the world. White males still control the world. They have for most of recorded history. Because of inherent superiority.
Carson Rivera
That's deep, yo
Joseph Johnson
The Rebels leaders in A New Hope say "may the force be with you" to the pilots before they take off. The Force is regarded as the overall good in the galaxy, not just "a thing that lets you push people".
Christian Jackson
You caring is irrelevant I agree.
It still isn't obscure. Go watch the movie before you shit.
Eli Collins
But who is trolling who?
Joseph Butler
Han was a secret jedi master all along who was testing luke resolve and watching over him, also he was a backup master in case luke failed, he would have trained leia
Darth Vader in "Darth Vader Tales: The Empire Wars: Scourge of Mandalore" Destroyed Mandalore by hurling a galaxy towards it using the force
Mason Baker
>It still isn't obscure. It's about as relevant as Sifo-Dyias or Plagueis.
So completely obscure and irrelevant to non nerds.
Caleb Jenkins
>Darth Vader in "Darth Vader Tales: The Empire Wars: Scourge of Mandalore" Destroyed Mandalore by hurling a galaxy towards it using the force Can't tell if shitposting or actual EU.
Seems like a 50/50
Jason Stewart
I'm on 9 levels of irony, the only one who's trolling me is myself.
Brayden Campbell
Do niggers even comprehend irony?
Kevin Jenkins
What's a meter?
Owen Butler
Sure thing, Chief.
Isaiah Lopez
Meter is to yards what kino is to flicks.
Wyatt Torres
Whoa
Aiden Ross
Yeah, in KOTOR 2 there's a guy who can basically kill billions in an instant with the Force
Hudson Ward
When will Sup Forums learn to stop treating fan fiction as canon?
Jonathan Cooper
I feel like the ability to "destroy" a planet doesn't require a massively expensive space lazer, it could be done with traditional ordinance. The empire seems to have supreme air space authority, just fly a star destroyer over a planet and drop 10 000 space nukes, boom done.
The only time a weapon like the death star would be advantageous is if you could fire it from a vast distance away like in TFA for an all in eradication strike to prevent a counter attack.
