In today's Star Wars analysis we will be discussing whether or not a Jedi or Sith can Destroy A Planet through his/her own violation as well as exploring the destructive power of these characters as a whole.

I do NoT own the movie footage used in this. Star Wars is owned by Lucasfilm, Disney, and Fox.

New tracks used:

“I Can Feel it Coming” by Kevin MacLeod

“Shadowlands 3: Machine” by Kevin MacLeod

My Dorsk 81 Feat Stats:

Dorsk 81 reached deep into the Force to the point of achieving oneness with it and, with the combined powers of 30 other trainees boosting him even further, conjured a single Force Push that blew away entire fleet Star Destroyers (17 to be exact) across the Yavin System.

Now for the Weight:

While both the exact weight of a Star Destroyer and the scale of the Yavin System have ever been specified, we do have enough information presented to us that we can make an educated guess.

As noted by Imperial Sourcebook (Second Edition), a single Imperial-Class Star Destroyer has a length of 1,600 meters which is just under 5 times that of a Nimitz-Class Nuclear aircraft carrier. A Nimitz is made of Alloy Steel and has a full-load displacement of about 100,000–104,000 tons. A Star Destroyer, given it’s functionality is likely composed of Ferroceramic Steel which I’m going to assume weighs about as much as Alloy Steel since both are noted specifically for their ability to withstand atmospheric entry. So, we multiply the Nimitz’s weight by a factor of 5 and you get 500,000 tons. Add this the ship’s maximum platoon capacity of 9,700 troopers, which equates to roughly 855.3945 Tons, given that Han Solo was about the same size as your average StormTrooper and he officially weighs 176.37 LBS and the maximum cargo capacity of 36,000 metric tons (39,683.207 Tons) and we get roughly a total of 540,538.6015 Tons for a Single Star Destroyer. Thats…quite a bit. But we’re not done, now we gotta multiply that by 17 to get the weigh of the Fleet that attacked the Academy which comes out to a whopping 9,189,156.2255 Tons!!!

Now for the setting:

The Yavin System is officially classified as Star System that houses 1 Sun, 1 Gas Giant, 3 planets, 1 Comet and 26 moons, only three of which are habitable. This means that the area can also be classified as either a Planetary or Solar System as both are defined as a set of gravitationally bound non-steller objects that orbit a star. Many of the system’s inhabitants have also been given official size designations. The primary Sun, known simply as Yavin is categorized as “K” class star with a lifespan of about sixty billion years, making it at least as large as our sun. Yavin Prime, the Gas Giant, has a diameter of 198,500 km, making it about 58,000 kilometers wider than Jupiter, and Yavin 4 (As noted by the Essential Atlas) has a diameter of 10,200 km, which makes it nearly triple the size of our Moon. Due to these stats, I don’t think its unreasonable to assume that the Yavin System is, at the very-least equal in size to our own Solar System. This would make it about 122 astronomical units across which equates to 18,250,940,225.4 Kilometers!!! Even if we were to cut that in half to account for the occasional “halfway across the system” designation, we would get a lesser but still gargantuan 61 astronomical units or 9,125,470,112.7 kilometers in distance!


Now for timing:

We know that it takes light about 5 hours to reach Pluto from our Sun, so logically it would only take 2.5 hours to reach the middle of our Solar System. While the book never specifies exactly how long it took the displaced fleet to exit the Yavin system, Pelion orders a statutes report following the event and an officer responds with “We’ve been thrown outside the solar system in a matter of seconds”. Even if we were to seriously lowball this feat to taking 45 seconds, this would mean that the fleet was traveling at a rate of 7,456,450,000 miles per hour or


Now then, putting ALL THAT TOGETHER, this means that in the sequence, Dorsk 81 and his companions were moving the equivalent 9,189,156.2255 Tons (8,336,262,301.2495995 kg) a distance of 150 million kilometers (150,000,000,000 Meters)!
