Discussions What is the most important Force power ? (TK vs. TP)

What would you choose ?

- Telekinesis ?

- Telepathy ?

I believe this is a good comparision for TK vs. TP ;

 

The most important power is Vapaad of course. You should know this!
People can just suck the dark side out of everyone and pwn the entire galaxy!

 

I don't believe any is more important. Moreover, I don't believe all Force-Sensitives have all the same abilities nor should they. That is unoriginal and dull.

 

No, vaapad is a lightsaber form which was used by Master Windu for defeating Darth Sidious. I only asked force powers.

 

No no no! Vapaad is a force power and Mace pwns all!
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!
once he sinks into vapaad he is completely unstoppable. he defeated the most powerful sith lord so he pwns the whole sith order
god, people and their inane logic you know. they should know that mace pwns all!

 

Where do you get that information?

This is directly from the Wookieepedia article on Vaapad.

What's the greatest manifestation of Telepathy we see?

Telekinesis has been seen to reach across the galaxy (with the benefit of the Holonet) in TCW season 6.

And the EU has lots of large scale manifestations of it - moving starships, or vast (Star system-scale) volumes of gas.

 

REJECTED Just ignore him He has obsession about Mace Windu, he just can't accept the fact that Sidious lost a fight That's why he is trying to mock with others

Good point. Telekinesis seems more powerful than telepathy so far.

 

The Emperor can keep in touch with some of his Hands on the other side of the galaxy through telepathy. Haven't seen much in the way of telepathic control though - mind trick is good, but rarely that good.

 

Well, in the Knight Errant book, there is an entire planet that is being kept "enslaved" through force telepathy.

And if telepathy includes rituals, then I suppose Darth Vitiate/The Emperor from The Old Republic should top the list, considering how he completely drained an entire planet, hundreds of Sith and all the population of the planet in one fell swoop.

 

Not sure if "draining" counts, if it doesn't involve getting in a character's head first.

 

I was kidding. XD

Only erkan here gets the joke.

And lol I now can't accept that Sidious can't lose a fight when I admit that Yoda stalemated him(which means if he gets a lucky shot in which is likely if the battle dragged on he could win) and that GM Luke would beat him and when Sidious isn't even one of my favorite characters.

After choosing Byss as his resort homeworld, Palpatine lured eager nobles to the planet-the nused his dark side powers to enslave its people, channeling their life energies for use in his own vile experiments within the fell Imperial Citadel. Most of Byss's inhabitants lived in a dream-like state, their offworld communications censored.

What better lure for multitudes than Byss's siren call of beauty and peace? Once there, their wills are destroyed by the Emperor and his Adepts, and replaced with an illusion of tranquility as they blissfully surrender their life energy to sustain the Emperor.​

Here TP is used to dominate a whole planet.

When Mace Windu led a team of Jedi Masters to apprehend Darth Sidious, none of them expected to face the power of the Sith Lord. His innocent appearance as Chancellor Palpatine, along with an application of a concentrated dark side confusion haze, enabled Darth Sidious to take down Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto, and Saesee Tiin.​

TP used to confuse Jedi Council members.

There was no great collection of Dark Side lore, nor any gather of its masters. Realizing the task that lay before him, Palpatine knew he must begin at once to attain control over the Dark Side. With the resources of the galaxy at his disposal, he gathered the greatest works of knowledge from over a million worlds. He studied the Force in all its guises throughout the galaxy, whether it was the shamanism of Jarvashqiine or the tales of the Tyia. Coupled with the perversions of the secrets he ripped from the living minds of Jedi he captured during the Purge, he learned more than ever expected.​

TP used to rip information out of a Jedi's mind.

But the Force, of course, was quite real—and the black tentacles of its dark side had hardened Palpatine and his new pupil, Darth Vader, into evil incarnate. They shared its horrible energies, and used them to fill the minds of their subservient military minions with fear.​

Used TP to induce fear.

Dooku saw that he had been tricked. He had no doubt now that he and Lorian had been made team captains deliberately. The Jedi Council had wanted to pit them against each other to see how deep the tensions were.​

"Tricked you were not," Yoda said, as if he'd read Dooku's thoughts.​

--Taken from Legacy of the Jedi

Yoda uses TP to read Dooku's thoughts.

Dooku's slow pace spoke of an underlying arrogance and was in sharp contrast to the briskness of his invasion into Obi-Wan's mind. Obi-Wan bit back a gasp and fled, trying to set new mental barriers in his wake. He'd had other Force users in his mind before. Qui-Gon. Anakin. Even Master Yoda. But where their touches had been gentle, almost a caress, Dooku's was painful and humiliating.​

Yoda has read Obi-Wan's mind with TP.

 

They're both useful but I guess overall I'd say Telekinesis.
