Hey, Force Scream is a perfectly legitimate tactic for whenever there are things nearby you that are numerous and may be crawling. Such as in your skin. Within wounds that will not heal. In all seriousness, the Force Powers list is silly in its comprehensiveness, like most Wikis, but it certainly has some valuable and interesting stuff in there.
Yeah, and some of the stuff I found funny was listing things with a tone of utmost gravity which did not really need a name. :::PPP e.g. I can buy that maybe you can use the Force to enhance your senses because why not, but I'm still going to laugh at a particular use of it that cropped up in two EU novels being called "Force Smell" and given its own article. :::PPP But there's also stuff that just makes me go, "Oh, come on." Like aforementioned walking through walls. Or this (apparently Palpy didn't actually need the Death Star, because he could devastate planets all by himself? 888|||).
so tempted to write it into my fic that snoke can TOTALLY DO THAT YOU GUYS HE JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT RIGHT NOW and they only built starkiller because snoke didn't want to get wormhole on his manicure
In game-world, Force Scream is basically a sonic burst that stuns and knocks the opponent back. The Jedi equivalent is done by whipping your lightsaber REALLY FAST so the "vvvrrm" noise is especially loud or something. For once the Sith figured out the less ridiculous way to do something
I've never read Dark Empire, but everything I hear about it makes it sound like they made Palpy into the galaxy's biggest Villain Sue. :::PPP And Kylo definitely seems like the kind of guy who'd swallow "oh yeah I can TOTALLY do this ancient legendary technique, I just don't want to because reasons." The wiki just took every instance of the Skyward Scream and Big No tropes performed by somebody Dark Side and decided it was a special power. :::PPP I guess because there were a few of them where it happened and somebody was all "OMG A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE." Part of why it's funny to me is that the whole article is acting like the scream is the important part, when that is so hilariously obviously not the intention. (I mean, make a Sith upset enough about something that they scream in melodramatic anguish, duh they're going to make ripples in the Force. Not because they're screaming, just because they have TOO MANY FEELINGS AND THEY CAN'T HOLD IT IN. :::PPP)
i find myself not entirely trusting wookiepedia... not to mention it's a chore trying to figure out which powers are canon, which are from non-canon books, and which are from games. games are necessarily going to have an assload of extra powers just to be fun, but i'm not putting them in my damn fic. mainly i want to know whether leia could hide her fleet in the same system as a planet kylo's marooned on and not have him know about it, or snoke sense it through him.
I would think him not knowing would be be pretty reasonable? For all that Star Wars isn't good at scale, star systems are big. I highly doubt he's be able to pick up anyone's thoughts from another planet. And even if he could sense that there was a large population of people in the galactic neighborhood (which might be plausible- lots of people making low-key disturbances in the Force by having lives and feelings probably adds up enough that you can spot it from a good ways away if you're looking), if there was an inhabited planet in the system he'd probably assume it was that.
If Vader or old Palpy-scmalple could have just combed every planet in a system for anomalous life signatures without expending a great deal of time/effort, you'd think that the Yavin or Hoth bases would have been found out sooner than they were. Luke and Vader certainly displayed some long-distance sensing abilities, but they were super-keyed into each other. And as far as Kylo goes... Spoiler: Force Awakens spoiler Han was camped out in the SAME ROOM as Kylo and he had to run out and be all "HAY" before Kylo was like "O mai, you're literally right there!" I don't think Kylo's exactly the greatest at sensing things. I'd call it reasonable.
Yeah, and Kylo also doesn't seem like the type to focus on learning to sense things really well. He goes for blunt force and showiness.
Spoiler: TFA Spoiler Huh, I never thought to read the scene like that. I was under the impression that Kylo knew Han was around and went out on the narrow bridge in order to draw him out by putting himself in a dangerous position, but it now occurs to me that I have no idea if Kylo would have known that that would be a dangerous position. I may have been attributing a lot more foresight and clever planning to him than he's shown to be capable of....
They're having to do reshoots with Kiefer Sutherland after they realized they cast the wrong guy as Punished 3P0.
you make a good point. and even if he did know han was there on starkiller, it was after snoke told him to expect him. so yeah, he's not going to look up at the sky and go "oho, mumsy is hiding behind the third moon with a carrier and two battleships!" or something. especially since he's got a lot of other shit to think about at the time, aka snoke being extremely unhelpful in that 'impatient sith boss' way. ok, thanks guys, i am unstuck. :D
Oooooo. I like that. I'm going to have to look into it. Look into it and possibly cross-stitch the Sith Code for my wall. ETA: With asphodel and red carnations, maybe. Pretty, pretty murderborder.
