Where do you think the line is drawn... I mean Anakin had hte greatest amount of midis ever... Where would have been the limit of his powers if someone had taught him well and he did not suffer the loss against Obi-Wan... If he could have studied since he was a little boy.. Could he have levitated by using the force... Or snap his fingers and blow someones heart? With some knows background info by you all I hope I can get my answer  .. Thank you already..._______________ =Y-Z= Yay Piccolo´s 777th post, [Yay Damien´s 250th post, [OMG LADY´s 800 POSTAH!!

Yes... But why not jedi use it... I mean someone strong enough liek Yoda... If he must kill someone.. If it is a must, why not snap him to death instead of chopping him into pieces _______________ =Y-Z= Yay Piccolo´s 777th post, [Yay Damien´s 250th post, [OMG LADY´s 800 POSTAH!!

Quote: so why can´t you forcepush trough someones chest and move his heart so that he dies Theoretically, a jedi could use the Force to rip a person's heart out of their body. However, Jedi would never do this because it is an extremely dark thing to do, and Dark Jedi would probably not do it because they'd prefer other ways of killing someone. Other ways that aren't quite so immediate, for example. When you choke someone, they feel their conciousness slip away as they need more and more oxygen that they don't have. The choker can have the satisfaction of watching the victim gasp and collapse. Comparatively, ripping someone's heart out is much too fast a death for them. _______________ Well then.

Someone said there is no forcepower strong enough for that... There are no powers really... Just different ways to ''control'' the midiclorians... Now if you just can control them well enough why couldn´t they make you stay in the air.. of course ot would be VERY hard and all but why not possible... And you can do forcethings to someone at the same planet even if far... Sidious could have choked the two sissies trough holo in ep1 so why can´t you forcepush trough someones chest and move his heart so that he dies _______________ =Y-Z= Yay Piccolo´s 777th post, [Yay Damien´s 250th post, [OMG LADY´s 800 POSTAH!!

Not completely-- they can't not fall. But it breaks down to the Force cancelling the acceleration of gravity, yeah. _______________ Well then. Just so you know, just because I don't post often doesn't mean I don't lurk this place multiple times every day... |

Quote: umm his physiology has to be different...by memeory i remember he bounced when he hit the floor then hit again...it either that or the physics is diff...or my memory sux. but if he did bounce...well then...soemthin is different...and ur science is correct..ull be accelerating at a speed of 9.85m/s squared...when ur falling... Yes, his physiology is obivous different. Note the "vastly" there. And you think we don't bounce if we hit the ground like that?* Gravity on earth accelerates things -9.82m/s/s (or m/s^2)-- do we know what Coruscant's gravity is? *Having never experienced a fall like that, I have no idea if humans bounce. Probably not, actually. But still, it doesn't negate my argument. _______________ Well then.

Presuming Yoda's physiology was not vastly different from ours, he would probably have-- at the very least-- cracked some ribs. More likely, most of them would have been broken, and he would have had serious internal hemorrhaging. And you say he "definitely" didn't use the Force to slow his fall? umm his physiology has to be different...by memeory i remember he bounced when he hit the floor then hit again...it either that or the physics is diff...or my memory sux. but if he did bounce...well then...soemthin is different...and ur science is correct..ull be accelerating at a speed of 9.85m/s squared...when ur falling... _______________ I don't wanna be the best, being the best doesn't mean I'm good...I wanna be perfect 'cause we always fall short, so if I aim for perfect I'll be good.... |

Quote: errrm imperator... yoda fell down from that height but he didnt die only because... well he was that strong  that definetly wasnt a force power... he just fell down like ordinary human lol K, I'm gonna have to change my name back to normal, people keep calling me imperator ...  How and why can you say it "definitely" wasn't a force power? I'd have to see the scene again (November First cannot come soon enough!) but I'm fairly certain that he falls from a fairly high... er... height. Assuming that, outside of the Force, physics works the same there as here, we can assume that an object that is falling will fall faster and faster every second until a) the object hits an immovable object or other force that stops or slows it, or b) the object reaches its terminal velocity. While, as I said, the scene is not available for me to time, I doubt Yoda's fall was long enough for him to reach terminal velocity (whatever his might be). Still, he certainly fell long enough to gain a respectable speed. Now, what happens if you trip and land flat on your chest? The wind is knocked out of you. Take that principle and magnify it to the speed Yoda was going. Presuming Yoda's physiology was not vastly different from ours, he would probably have-- at the very least-- cracked some ribs. More likely, most of them would have been broken, and he would have had serious internal hemorrhaging. And you say he "definitely" didn't use the Force to slow his fall? (If you find valid flaws in my scientific reasoning, don't worry-- I'm not an expert in any of this.) _______________ Well then.

It isn't levitate though. I always assume Yoda was levitating the seat he uses to move around in EP2. But that does still raise the point, he is levitating an object that is supporting him, but not levitating himself. So either this is hard for some reason, or we really haven't seen it because no writer movie/book/comic/etc has found a spot where they though levitation would be so cool. _______________ Silent Bob (Kevin Smith): You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude.

While I'm only going on my own memory on this, and have no reference material, I think that jedi cannot levitate themselves-- which is, for example, why Yoda didn't simply fly back up after being knocked off the platform in the Yoda/Sidious duel in ep. III. However, they can slow their falls, which is why Yoda didn't die after falling from such a height. What Luke did in the Gantoris fight was similar-- he didn't levitate himself up, he merely boosted his jumping power and lessened the pull of gravity, leaving him capable of jumping up to a tree branch. _______________ Well then.

Well.. in a way you have to concentrate and listen to your midichlorians to manipulate the force yeah? Moving other objects is no biggie, but moving yourself would be difficult. You may be able to temporarily levitate. But force jump and heal are evidence that jedi can manipulate themselves. Maybe you'd have to train your mind and stuff to be able to levitate. _______________ -Padawan of Virtue -Brother of Menaxia, *|irael, Krynn Adept, Majno, Ris Win Juljul, DaMi3N, Beowulf, Dash Starlight, Carrock and Yuken Zalak Bartender at Munes bar.

wasnt yoda leviatating in ep2 or was that jsu a hover chair...i liek to think he was leviataing with the chair...but even so...he would be liftin th echair...not himself...hmmm i wonder if they can do wat magneto did in X-men2, or wat static shock does in the cartoon...take soemthing round...hover it usin telekenisis..and stand on it...and make that round thing move.. _______________ I don't wanna be the best, being the best doesn't mean I'm good...I wanna be perfect 'cause we always fall short, so if I aim for perfect I'll be good.... |

depends on the person, Luke Skywalker levitated up to a tree during his duel with Gantoris in Jedi,I and he also levitated down to the ground from a height of like 2km up when he ejected from his X-wing in The courtship of princess Leia, however Corran Horn has trouble even levitating his lightsaber. However since Anakin is Luke's daddy i wouldnt b surprised if he was pwnz0r at levitation... why he didnt still confuses me. as for bursting a man's heart, thats quite different to force choking, choke is actual causing the victim's lungs to convulse and constrict, you could do that to someone's heart if your skilled enuyff not accidentally 'choke' oh i dont know, the pancreas, intestines etc. Choke is most common simply because the line can be traced through which a person breathes. _______________ Sanity is for the weak -Let the madness consume you...

Levitation eh? It certainly wouldn't surprise me, we've seen the force being used to lift even the heaviest of objects, lifting other people, or yourself should be too much of a challenge really. And blowing someone's heart at will doesn't seem to far-fetch'd when we look at Vader choking people from across the room in Episodes IV-VI. _______________ -Kauyon Draconis [Official master of Ataris] |
