Well, I don’t know about most dangerous weapon. Staying in universe, on a linear scale from „a stick“ to „the Death Star“, I’d argue it is pretty close to the stick.
The thing with the OT is that if you mentally replace James Earl Jones’ Vader voice with Hayden Christensen’s it all works perfectly. Vader’s imposing nature came entirely from the suit and the voice; deep down he was still just a kid whining about sand.
Ehh… I always had the impression that judicious Force use and guidance got Palpatine to where he was. In charge of the weapon of planetary destruction.
I wonder: since the Death Star was powered by kyber crystals, is it effectively a giant lightsaber? (Also, this allows me to share my long-held head canon that the reason Luke’s RotJ lightsaber is green is because the only kyber crystals he could find were salvaged from the Death Star wreckage)
Pretty sure the Sith and Jedi killed more people throughout history using lightsabers than either of the two death stars ever did, even with one of them blowing up an entire planet.
How likely do you think you’d be blown up by a nuke vs stabbed or cut with a knife, hmm? You are in more danger from cutting yourself making dinner tonight than you are of being nuked.
Yes, and a cat is much more likely to bite me than a great white shark. Yet I still pet cats and stay the fuck away from great white sharks. Wonder why that is?
Being in danger from something does not mean it’s the more dangerous weapon. But this is going to turn in to a pointless discussion about what it means for a weapon to be dangerous. So you’re right for some definitions of dangerous.

The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
Never demonstrates this

Anakin never reached the “show don’t tell” portion of his training before his corruption and fall

(Sorry for the fandom link, AFAIK Star Wars hasn’t migrated yet.)
I’m out of the loop… Why is everyone mad at Fandom?
Way too many ads, they deface wiki pages to cram more ads in etc.
Minecraft and a few other have moved away already, I hope Star Wars will follow soon.

Luke literally used the force to aim his shot that destroyed the first Death Star. 🤨
And Vader didn’t use the force to stop them!
Maybe he couldn’t sense Han coming in for the assist because Luke’s aura was too strong. 🤔

Kind of. The book about the girl from Rogue One goes into it but I don’t remember the details or even the name of the book

With that kind of reasoning knives are more dangerous than nukes in the real world.
