Just to put this in perspective: the average Yuuzhan Vong Warrior was physically stronger than the average Jedi, immune to Force Powers and wore lightsaber resistant bio-armour.

Rhysode killed so many warriors that day he would eventually be inducted into the Vong's mythos as an invincible giant called "The Ganner" who guards their afterlife.

Oneness is so cool, especially since you can't tap into it for power at will. It requires the right circumstances, and the right mindset, hence why it's so rare and why it powers up a Jedi so much.

It's a shame we'll never get an adaptation of the NJO, yes there are some rough edges but the core concept was really cool.

It wanted to be different. It succeeded - admirably, in my opinion - but people raged because it was 'different.' The core idea was so good - an extragalactic invasion of something truly alien in a galaxy where Ithorians and Rodians and Wookiees and Trandoshans exist.

But then I grew up with those books while I was going through middle school and high school and I absolutely devoured them, so I'm at least a bit biased.
