I did some homework and I'm back to bring all of you one thing:
Dementors!
They're the spooky reaper ghosts that used to serve as the guards for wizard prison.
Neat nerd stuff:
- Impossible to destroy or kill
- Can only be fended off with a rare spell
- Feed on peace, hope, and happiness
- Can put their victims in a vegetative state for which there is no cure
- Their numbers grow from death and decay
- Their presence alone brings cold and saps positive emotions, both of which are amplified with their numbers
- they fly and are undead
- Muggles can't see them (So, everyone in the Star Wars universe!)
...[i]And there are so very many of them[/i]...
Go ahead and blow up all the planets you want! They'll just fly into your ships, through your fancy lightsaber swings, and suck the life outta ya!
Thank you for coming to my DedTalk

So like... the offspring of Nihilus?

While not capable of eating a planet in one sitting, a slow creeping sweep would eventually result in the same fate. The deaths create more, governments start evacuations and the Dementors tag along unseen. Blow up the planet to contain this strange outbreak? They're not dead, they do not breathe and they can fly... through the vacuum of space...from world to world leaving more death in their wake. Death that swells their numbers... ... [i]I love them[/i]...

But that makes me curious, how fast are dementors? Sure they can travel through the vacuums of space but how fast can they do it because space is a huge place. If you knew a invasion of dementors were coming couldn’t you get into a spaceship and fly away to another planet and live out your life before they reach you? I’m not too sure I haven’t read or watched Harry Potter in a long time and it’s not like the muggles of the Star Wars universe would be able to see them anyways.

Faster than people, but not ships. Still a slow, creeping, inevitable death!
-
[i]Curious...[/i] —But— If they're sentient, they're still vulnerable. Just toss a thought bomb at 'em and their spirt will be shattered into itty-bitty pieces. Literally having their existence blown from reality. Pretty sure Nihilus would just... eat them. The force flows through all things and they're dark existence looks rather... delectable. And Nihilus wouldn't be effected by them since he is nothing but a void-emotionless entity of consumption. And if either of those don't work, the Jedi could just use a wall of light, which is basically Expecto Patronum x100.
-
So from what I've read of Thought Bombs, they only work on Force Sensitives and don't actually wipe them from existence but absorb their spirits into a thing to torment them. It should also be noted that not everything in the Star Wars universe is connected to the Force, such as the Yuuhzan Vong. That and there is no Force in the HPverse. So Dementors are not connected to it and Nihilus cannot feed upon them, but he would be effected by them indirectly because he can starve to death while they cannot! They would inflict upon him the greatest insult an enemy can endure: to be ignored! And as Holmes said, a Patronus is more than just light, it's literally just an Anti Dementor summons.
-
That’s really not true though. They may be sentient but they are not necessarily vulnerable. A bomb will not hurt them. Noting is know to really kill a dementor. The Patronum charm doesn’t even kill them but instead prevents against them. And I don’t know much about this wall of light, so I could be wrong, but it isn’t the light which stops the dementors. A Patronus is a projection of all the things a dementor feeds on. Although it cannot feel despair and therefor the dementor cannot harm it. It’s a prevention method and has nothing to do with the light. Now the thing you said about Nihilus, well I really don’t know. I don’t know that much about Nihilus to be qualified to debate that. He may just eat them. But then again the force technically doesn’t flow through them since the force doesn’t exist in the wizarding world so who knows if that would count or not.
-
And this is why I alway take the blind fighting proficiency and have a wizard travel around with me. So so can actually survive an attack from creatures like dementors. and if the wizard doesn’t know the Patronus Charm then at least I can outrun them and put some distance between the dementor and myself so I could eat a sandwich or have time to think of a cheesy one liners before I die.

Wait your just going to leave me? What a good meat shield.....I mean what a good friend you are! Get back here! I don’t have any strength or constitution and my d4/d6 hit dice body cannot survive much! You have a lot is strength and I am probably pretty light, you can carry me! I could conjure something to distract the dementor or teleport us out of here! Get your low THACOS/high to hit modifier (depending on what edition we are going on. I would play any with you) self back here right this instant!
-
Fine Fine I suppose i could carry you. But these things are scary! I don’t have any magicy do-dads or crinkum-crankums that can fight these spells. I don’t have any spells or incantations that can help me survive against the magical inhabitants of this world. The best I can do is use a silver bar as a improvised weapon and hope creatures have a weakness to it or use a shotgun. I can’t even see this dementor creature, but fine let’s get out of here! And if we come across some powerful sword that can be pulled out of a hat I get to keep it because I actually have a thaco less then 13 at level 20.

Your afraid? I am the one who he being left for dead here. But then that makes sense. I brave this universe meagerly robes while you make sure to dress head to toe in metal before walking out of your front door! But your a fighter! This is what you do. It is your job. You may be afraid but that doesn’t mean you cannot be brave. For being brave is just looking into the face of fear and spitting into its eyes. Be brave my comrade. Hopefully that inspiring speech saved my life. Realistically, with my constitution, I would have been dead before I got the change to say it but who cares. Now, your swords may not be able to fend off these creatures, but your emotions can. They can be fended off for a small while with positive emotions, I believe hopefully I am not sending you to your death, so use that. You may not swing your axe but you can swing your mind axe while I think of a way to use my spells and get us out of here. For I am a wizard and that’s what I do. Of course I would give you any sword we come across. You know I don’t know how on earth/Oerth/Toril/Kryn/Nirn/Sigil/whether other setting we are at, to use one. It’s better in your hands than mine.
