What's the context? Because taking it at face value on what's provided alone it looks like Luke's power is causing whatever stars his presence in the force nears to increase in overall brightness by them feeding off his power?
That's it.

Luke's mind and spirit were tapping into the Dark by Cronal. And he uses the Force to increase and restart the energy of those stars to make them burn brighter. The opening line after Luke enters the Dark seems to imply he was even reigniting their cores before telepathically communicating with the Melters.

I guess bare minimum we could possibly try and calc Luke brightening the luminosity of every star in the galaxy at the absolute low end I suppose

Would mesh better with Cronal musing he'd become the Galaxy using Luke's body at any rate.
Shadows of Mindor said:
With Luke Skywalker's body―and his unparalleled connection to the Force―to compliment Cronal's unparalleled knowledge of Sith alchemy and the unique properties of meltmassif, he would indeed rule the galaxy.
He could, should he choose, become the galaxy.
Every living thing would answer to his will...
That's it.

Was this part of this scene? :hm

Shadows of Mindor said:
As all this information was filtered through his consciousness, Luke at last became aware that the stellar cluster of which he was the center was itself moving, rolling through the Dark as if in orbit around some vastly more massive gravity source, something so huge and dark that it could be seen only by it's effect on the stars of the Melters in his cluster. One by one they were peeled from his cluster, stripped away to spiral into decaying orbits around the inescapable void until one by one they flare with a last brief burst of light as they slipped over some event horizon and vanished forever.
An event horizon of the Dark, consuming the last light of the universe...
Not really sure what to make of it if so. Brightening the sky is one thing, but this implies some kind of permanent destruction of the stars. Is this just a Force vision?

Not a Force vision. Seems like he was literally connecting and bridging himself to the stars to then connect with the Melters.

Combine what you posted with this excerpt:

Stars, he thought. Yes. That's it: stars. That's where they come from. That's where we meet. Because that's what I am, too.

Everything in the universe is born of dying stars. Every element is created in the fusion furnace of stellar cores. Every atom that exists was once part of some long-vanished star-and that star was part of others before it, an unbroken chain of ancestry back to the single cosmic fireball that had been the birth of the universe.

It is the death of stars that gives the universe life.

With the idea of stars on which to hang his imagination, he could bring his situation into a kind of focus. Instead of a formless field of barely perceptible energy, he visualized himself as part of a stellar cluster, vast and dim; those alien modulations of energy became distant stars.

Though every true star is functionally the same-a fusion furnace in space-each is also an individual. One may be larger, another hotter; one may be nearing the end of its life cycle, collapsing in upon itself or expanding to destruction, while another might be freshly forming by aggregating the dust and gases of ancient supernovae. In Luke's imagination, he could read their individual spectra the way he might recognize a human face: they looked tired, and old, and far apart, burning themselves out in the endless Dark.

But he, too, was a star, and the light that shone from him was the Force.

Each and every distant star on which he fixed his attention, however dim it was, instantly brightened as his light fed its own. They drew near, attracted by his energy, captured by his gravitational field, growing ever brighter as they approached, burning hotter, giving off bursts of exotic particles like gusts of delighted laughter. They fell into orbit around him, becoming a new system of infinite complexity wheeling through the Dark in joyous dance.

Here we are, in the Dark, he thought. And it's not empty. It's not meaningless. Not with us all here. It's beautiful.
And each one he had touched with the Force remained linked to him by pulsing threads of light as they basked gratefully in its power; they had been trapped in this freezing Dark for so long, their only light coming from the burning away of themselves and their kin, forever fading until one by one they would wink from existence...

Unfreezing this thread from carbonite. Cal is able to use Force Stasis on a storm.


Said storm seems to be visible from space.

I'm going to post some really impressive stuff. First is the D'vouran from the the Galaxy of Fear: Eaten Alive.
D'vouran is a living planet created by the Galactic Empire as part of Project Starscream.
The planet D'vouran pulls Zak, Hoole & Tash's spaceship out of hyperspace
Midis24.png

Midis25.png

Several people are pulled under the ground.
Midis28.png

Chood reveals that the planet itself ate them, sucking its victims under the ground to devour them. The only thing to stop it doing so (other than hovering) is to wear a special protective amulet.
Midis29.png

Midis30.png

Imperial scientists brought D'vouran to life, but lost control and were too devoured.
Midis31.png

D'vouran rotates so fast it becomes daytime

Midis36.png

After feeding the anti-D'vouran amulet to D'vouran, the planet goes crazy and its surface melts. Han & Chewie rescues the heroes, but then the planet starts following them. Han also says that in sublight speed at full thrusters, the Millenium Falcon should be half way out of the star system in four minutes.
Midis32.png

Even after depleting all energy sources to the engines, D'vouran is still catching up on them.
Midis33.png

With its prey escaping it, D'vouran collapses on itself and vanishes.
Midis34.png

The D'vouran is still alive, and has reformed several lightyears away where it's found more prey.
Midis35.png
That is, it for the D'vouran.

Stillsails are vast membraneous creatures that grow over 100,000km in size, found in the Stratos Distributiion in the Unknown Regions.
The Lugubraa originate in deep space in a vast corridor of dust and ice asteroids that the Wharls call the Stratos Distribution. This unique astrophysical environment harbors predatory lightning-jacks, membranous stillsails more than 100,000 kilometers across, and forests of crystalline cometary fronds. The roots of the Lu gubraa evolutionary tree can still be found here, with worm like chewers carving warrens inside mineral-rich rocks.

Hoole used to be a scientist working for the Empire. He and Gog researched and experimented on life itself, building huge generators that could focus the power of a star into a test tube. However, it went wrong and unleashed a huge explosion that killed everyone on the planet, turning them into wraiths (in truth the Emperor and Gog deliberately planned this genocide).
(From Galaxy of Fear: Army of Terror)
Midis40.png

So, the Galactic Empire can literally have an entire star to be small enough to fit into a size of a test tube, nice.

Next would be the infinite engine.
The infinite engine is a fragment of the star forge that has grown to a size enough that it can produce things on a vastly smaller scale than its parent. What is impressive is what it can build, and what powers it.


"The Revan says it is the force that feeds the infinite engine. We feed it with our thoughts. Our love, our hatred, all that we feel, it turns to energy and nourishes us in return."
The infinite engine by simply feeding the thoughts of the user can turn it into energy to be used.

"Here the light of the infinite engine warns our skin and lets us look upon our faces." "The Revan said to give our dead to the machine. It takes back all that it gave them through the years and returns it to us as food and medicine. Our homes are built and heated from the bodies of our dead."
It can be used to create food, medicine, and homes. Corpses can also serve as a power source.

"[The Star Forge] is the seed of worlds. Such power, even in a fragment.

A fleet... that's what I made of it. Almost laughable now. What it's smallest piece? It cannot build ships, no, what useless fragments does it generate?

Air. Life.

It feeds on the force. On energy, or mass, or whatever you give it. And it creates. That is its nature.

It begins where we all began. A breath of air, a drop of water. The first chains of carbon.
It also creates air, water, and even life itself.

"Can you not feel this wonderous machine's power?

The ages pass, and the infinite engine grows. It was the size of a fingertip when we came here, and it sustained few. Now, the infinite engine is large enough to sustain many of our people. It fulfils our every need, food, clothing, tools... even weapons and mechanical beings. "

"All we know us that the infinite engine was once part of an even greater machine - one that built the revan's mighty empire. Only revan knows the engine's secrets."

"As we sustain it, so does it sustain us."
Even an extremely tiny portion of the Star Forge had the capacity to create an army powerful enough to hold back against the Sith Empire.

Why bother with fleets when one day we might build our own galaxies?"

-Revan.
The fact that Revan actually believed that the Star Forge can be used to create an entire galaxy, lmfao. Interesting how that would happen.

Male sarlacc cling to the female sarlacc (similar to deep sea angler fish). They digest their prey from 500 to 1000 years, extending their lifespan in the process and keeping them in torment. The sarlacc will not only digest the body of their prey, but also consume their consciousness to assimilate its own semi-sentience.
pxLwiMY.jpg
HThphD1.jpg
To reproduce, sarlaccs shoot their spores into outer space, where the spores drift until they come to another planet and nest in their surfaces. This means the sarlaccs can fire projectiles that can reach escape velocity, and the sarlacc spores can survive re-entry.
L2OKzWI.png
Although sarlaccs were 100m long, many could reach even bigger sizes. The Ancient Abyss (Legends) on Felucia is a mega-sarlacc who's mouth was several kilometers in diameter.
The Force Unleashed novelization said:
There was no reception waiting for him as he neared the town's borders, which consisted of an irregular oval a kilometer or two across, surmounted by several of the strange giant teeth.
However, the teeth and gums of the Ancient Abyss covers hundreds of kilometers of the planets surface (it's also referred to as one of the biggest sarlaccs in the galaxy, implying there are other sarlaccs just as big if not bigger).

Space slugs, also known as exogorths are colossal silicon-based creatures that live in the asteroid fields across thegalaxy. Though they're 10m long when they reach maturity, they can grow to a staggering 900m, and can survive in the void of space. They reproduce via fission.
6JLNunS.jpg
One space slug almost successfully devoured the Millenium Falcon, and its mere teeth are about the size of the Falcon is. It also moves at incredible speeds given its size (and would therefore produce a tremendous amount of kinetic energy). For reference, the Millenium Falcon is over 34m long, 25m wide and almost 8m tall.
289WXP.gif

Exogorths sensory organs are able to pick up the reflected light to such an extent it can perceive other star systems, and travel there in sublight, going into hibernation as they do.
e0VNqi3.jpg
Space slugs feed off rock, metal, organic matter and other elements, and house entire ecosystems inside them.
k5lNgIL.jpg
At the time of the High Republic, a swarm of Exogorths attack the star system of Omonoth, devouring all the asteroids and planets in the system. Nothing the House of Adasca could do could stop them.
3kxqUVj.jpg
As Omonoth was a dying star, the space slugs went into hibernation. This gave the House of Adasca the chance to hijack the exogorth swarms brains (and there's far more than dozens of them).
mZOgTq6.jpg
The House of Adasca enhance the reproductive rate and abilities of the exogorth swarm, and give then hyperdrives, essentially weaponising them.

The B'rknaa are rock creatures from the moon of Indobok. Their life source comes from special crystals, which are indeed the young of their species.
ahZNyca.jpg
Just one of these crystals is capable of holding all of the energy systems for a small planet.
5AKcqBg.jpg
B'rknaa are a hivemind, and all of the b'rknaa seen so far are just children.

The B'rknaa can fuse together.
qVPNYNK.jpg
It catches and destroys the pirate spaceship.

The planet of Indobok itself is an adult b'rknaa (chances are that b'rknaa & Indobok are what the aforementioned kakran and K43 in Disney are based off).

Disney canon has it's own version of the Indobrok in the form of the Kakran. The biggest of these, K43 or the Kakran Grandmother, is a colossal rock/lava creature the size of a moon. Her young live on her surface. After an Imperial attack, she bursts out of her crust to attack the nearby Imperial fleet.
WWUZTao.jpg
She easily dwarves Star Destroyers.
OTtjhQt.jpg
ZQ2Xx1K.jpg
She destroys a Star Destroyer with a single attack (her fist is much bigger than the Star Destroyer too).
fRHv7lS.jpg
Han refers to her as a "moon-sized rock monster."
AfncVJR.jpg
We also see the other Kakran, and they too are enormous in size. They can hold many rock people (who are already over twice as tall as a person) in one hand.

Colossus Wasps are massive wasps who even in death were so powerful that people chose to make spaceships out of their carcasses for mining purposes (these are the Ithullan Ore Haulers).
TPyldoZ.jpg
They could reach 1km in length and travelled between planets, and though they fed off solar rays, stellar radiation and minerals, they also fed off organic matter, preying even on the space slugs.
