Any of y'all ever pick up a rock? Like, maybe one even the size of a basketball? ****ers are heavy. Now pick up one the size of a small table. Many of those are gonna be a couple hundred pounds.
So let's be polite here and say it was a 100 lb rock moving at about 40 mph. And I think I'm being generous there as it was likely heavier and faster.
That's gonna be right at 150 kN of force at impact (since evidently doesn't actually get knocked backwards at all to absorb the energy so it's all imparted directly into his body).
Or, y'know, about 32 THOUSAND pounds. Vader gets hit with ONE of those rocks at that speed and it's about 16 tons of force. That rock over Obi's left shoulder probably weighs 500+ pounds so adjust your math accordingly.
"RAAAAWR!!!!"
{gets hit with 50 more of them - gets grumpy rather than literally pulverized}
This show was dumb - unquestionably dumber than it had to be.
