And is the notion of reaction times so hard to grasp? or is it the notion that the jedi arent infallible that stirs you up more? Anyways


Lets say you have precognition, and I shoot a bullet at your face, you know its going to happen, right? but you cant move your body physically fast enough to dodge it, the precognition doesnt amp up your speed to keep up with what you are seeing

Precognition, moron: You react before the guy even lifts the pistol. That's the whole 'before' part, implied by 'pre'. Or are you just illiterate, like your fellow apologist?

Liiiiiiiiar. You said 'every board has obnoxious idiot posters' and cited the superman example. Don't lie: Your posts are held for posterity. Here, I'll quote it at you.
I will point out that I have seen people on this board try to actually argue that anyone from the SW's universe could beat superman,
every board has their obnoxious ignorant posters who always have to be right
I hate liars. Don't do it again.

And citing precog is an argument, bitch. Don't like it? Too bad. It's as real as Superman's heat vision.
..Because they didn't come to a conclusion you liked?
No, not at all

What the fuck part of PRECOGNITION do you not understand? It means you know about it before it happens! Reaction times are a fucking red herring, moron.

I know it's going to happen, so I get the fuck out of the way before you shoot it, you ignorant cumsucker. That's the entire fucking point of precognition; apparently, I shouldn't have assumed you are able to understand a basic English word longer than three syllables.

Really? so why didnt they react before the clone troopers fired on them? explain that without playing it off as a "surprise!" ok?

In Empire Strikes Back, Yoda makes the comment that the future is always in motion and it is difficult to see. I would assume that more temporally distant events are harder to see. So my question is, how far into the future can Jedi/Sith use precognition with reasonable accuracy? Are there any examples from within the EU that give us a reasonable estimate of this time?

If the delay between when the Jedi/Sith sense the event and when the event occurs is less than the Jedi's presumably biomechanically limited response/action time, then the precog would not matter.

Why not? Because you don't like it? Too bad, it's perfectly valid. This is why you're viewed as a fanwhore: You keep trying to artificially limit things away from the logical conclusions.

Recall the incident in TPM: Jedi are able to physically ramp up their response time. So, it took the Jedi three frames (IIRC) to move out of the blaster bolt's way down the hall. Further, IIRC, they phased themselves through the blaster; or was that just a visual illusion?

Blaster bolts are visible to the human eye, i can SEE them being fired, they are nowhere near as fast as superman, surely you'd know what being ever so intelligent

We knew he could see the event fairly clearly on Bespin, and that was many lightyears away. I don't see a reason why only the temporal dimension would be limiting, still, it establishes he can see with a high degree of accuracy, across probably hundreds or thousands of lightyears, hours in advance.

That's well and away enough to fight anyone.

You yourself fucking admitted it, motherfucker: their combat precog is reliable. Right here:

Give me an argument to reply to and I'll debate you. But you've decided you'd rather whine about insults and scream and throw a tantrum. So, until I decide to retire to my wife's side, I'll mock you. It's fun.

If you want to debate, of course, you're welcome to try.

Largely, its a few seconds, although typically less time. However, Jedi do seem to have a "Spidey Sense" so to speak, and can tell if danger is immient.
If the delay between when the Jedi/Sith sense the event and when the event occurs is less than the Jedi's presumably biomechanically limited response/action time, then the precog would not matter.
True, but the only times when a Jedi has proven physically too slow to react to something is either when their overwhelmed by sheer volume of fire, or when they are taken be complete and utter suprise (Order 66.) In the latter instance, the entire war, and Clone training was leading up to that moment, and Clone responses were tailored to made it very difficult for Jedi to predict the attack (although some did notice it, too late.)

Hey, you illiterate pigfucker: I was making a point about Jedi reaction times, not making a comparative argument between Superman and Jedi. Is that so hard to fucking understand, you assmonkey?

Are you fucking retarded? do I have to retype what you just fucking quoted? I will, and I'll do it slowly: it only seems to kick in during pod races and when blasters are being fired at them how does this stand up against a being who can move faster than light you cunt?
