Yeah. Did he use Battle Meditation? I think I saw a custom with it on bloomilk somewhere.

I don't ever recall it being specifically mentioned that he did canonically. But Sidious could, so Yoda probably could have done it. Though it may not have reached the strength of Bastila's or Sidious'.

Sidious could? That's odd...I thought it was light-side...

Nah, the Sith could use it too (remember Bastila, she was temporarily dark sided and still used it, as did Joruus C'Boath and Grand Admiral Nial Declann). Palps used it secretely. Let me give you an excellent quote from Grand Admiral Thrawn:
You must have wondered how a few dozen Rebel ships could possibly rout an Imperial force that outgunned it by at least ten to one… The Rebels did indeed fight better, but not because of any special abilities or training. They fought better than the fleet because the Emperor was dead… you must have noticed it. The sudden loss of coordination between crew members and ships; the loss of efficiency and discipline. The loss, in short, of that elusive quality we call fighting spirit… You had no real fighting spirit of your own anymore—none of you in the Imperial fleet did. It was the Emperor's will that drove you; the Emperor's mind that provided you with strength and resolve and efficiency. You were as dependent on that presence as if you were all borg-implanted into a combat computer"

Never read about either Joruus (though I read Outbound Flight, which is probably my favorite EU novel), or Declann.
Oh...fascinating. While Thrawn never comes out and says it, it's pretty clear what he's talking about. Very cool.

I've never read about them either, but I read up on random Wook articles. And, with the Joruus in the NLT, I've learned a lot about the character.
Yeah. It's a really interesting point.

I imagine. He was cloned from the original Jorus C'Baoth from Outbound Flight? Just like Luuke was cloned from Luke?

Yep. I never read the books though. Pretty much all of what I know about the EU is from video games or the Wook.

Lol. Video games are good sources. They're generally not A canon, though.

Yeah. Like the novels, they can exaggerate some things.

Right. That det-tape was a bit overpowered in the Clone Commando novels.

Lol. I'm curious: how so? (I never read the novels.)

Oh. It was a bit bizzarre: it was a cool concept, but it's not entirely realistic. There are two parts of it, without both parts, it's not dangerous. When the two are wound around each other, they can be stuck to a doorframe, or something, and a meter of the tape has the same power as a missle from the main cannons from a LAAT/i.  |

Wow. That is pretty powerful. Missile vs Tape. I'd take the Missile personally.

I'd take the LAAT/i. Lol. Firepower, and a good way to get the hell out of there if you're outmatched.  The LAAT/i was always my favorite PT ship. I made a mini of it, have you seen it? |
