The quest for Lego feats continues. Once again, this is from several different Lego Star Wars titles (Porgs vs the Death Star, Brick Bounty).
1. Porgs vs the Death Star
The feat of a character surviving the Death Star exploding is ridiculously consistent, happening 7 times in 6 seperate titles. Most of them would be the same as the initial calc (though some of them might be worth looking into at some point), but this one is different...

The Porgs don't just survive at some unknown distance; they survive the explosion at ground zero at the very core, meaning they tanking all of it (I'm not really a fan of TLJ, but respect where respect is due). The diameter of the first Death Star was 160km.
174 pixels = 160km
1 pixel = 160km/174 = 0.91954023km
Usually I'd just go with the explosion of the Death Star, but as this time the Death Star explodes into the shape of a Porg, we'll have to calculate the distance the fragments moved, then find our average speed.
Timeframe is 3 seconds and 25 frames.
T = 1s/30
= 33.3333333ms X 25
= 0.833333333s + 3s
= 3.83333333s
0.91954023km X 81 = 74.4827586km
0.91954023km X 333 = 306.206897km
0.91954023km X 282 = 259.310345km
0.91954023km X 257 = 236.321839km
0.91954023km X 301 = 276.781609km
0.91954023km X 204 = 187.586207km
0.91954023km X 177 = 162.758621km
0.91954023km X 628 = 577.471264km
Let's find out average distance the fragments moved.
L = 74.4827586km + 162.758621km + 187.586207km + 236.321839km + 259.310345km + 276.781609km + 306.206897km + 577.471264km
= 2080.9195406km/8
= 260.114943km
T = 260.114943km/3.83333333s
= 67856.0721m/s
Previously we calculated the mass of the 1st Death Star to be 2.19956389e17kg.
KE = (0.5)mv^2
= (0.5) X 2.19956389e17 X 67856.0721^2
= 5.06388715e26 joules
= 121.02980760038241215 petatons
That's not all though, the Porgs also are able to perceive and react when they're fired down the Death Star chute (even going into slow motion). So let's also get the speed for them being fired into the main reactor.
R = 169km/2
= 84.5km
Timeframe is 3 seconds and 11 frames.
T = 33.3333333ms X 11
= 0.366666666s + 3s
= 3.36666667s
T = 84.5km/3.36666667s
= 25099.0099/340.29
= Mach 73.7577064
2 Star Destroyer sends an asteroid flying
1:03
A Star Destroyer spirals out of control, whacking into an asteroid several times bigger than it is and sending it flying (and being only a little bit damaged). Let's find our speed first, as the B-Wings where able to almost outrace it (thankfully for them, the Star Destroyer then spiralled out of control, as per above), as it would've ben travelling at this speed before it spiralled out of control. An Imperial I-class Star Destroyer has a width of 900m.
Timeframe is 0.3 seconds.
73 pixels = 900m
1 pixel = 900m/73 = 12.3287671m
12.3287671m X 227 = 2798.63013m
2798.63013m/2 = 1399.31507m
12.3287671m X 203 = 2502.73972m
2502.73972m/2 = 1251.36986m
12.3287671m X 493 = 6078.08218m
T = 6078.08218m/0.3s
= 20260.2739/340.29
= Mach 59.5382583
Volume as an ellipsoid.
V = 4/3πabc
= 4/3 X π X 1399.31507 X 1251.36986 X 1251.36986
= 9.17858009e9m^3
= 9.17858009e+15cm^3
Asteroids of spectral classes C, S & M have a mean density of 1.38g/cm^3, 2.71g/cm^3 and 5.32 g/cm^3 respectively (see here and here). These will serve as our low, mid and high ends.
(Low end)
M = 9.17858009e+15 X 1.38g
= 1.26664405e16g (12666440500000kg)
(Mid end)
M = 9.17858009e+15 X 2.71g
= 2.4873952e16g (24873952000000kg)
(High end)
M = 9.17858009e+15 X 5.32
= 4.88300461e16g (48830046100000kg)
We have all of our masses, let's find our timeframe.
141 pixels = 2502.73972m
1 pixel = 2502.73972m/141 = 17.7499271m
17.7499271m X 118 = 2094.4914m
Timeframe is 0.19 seconds.
T = 2094.4914m/0.19s
= 11023.6389m/s
(Low end)
KE = (0.5)mv^2
= (0.5) X 12666440500000 X 11023.6389^2
= 183.94283389101337889 gigatons
(Mid end)
KE = (0.5)mv^2
= (0.5) X 24873952000000 X 11023.6389^2
= 1.51134897e21 joules
= 361.22107313575526177 gigatons
(High end)
KE = (0.5)mv^2
= (0.5) X 48830046100000 X 11023.6389^2
= 2.96692861e21 joules
= 709.1129565009559883 gigatons
3. Wampa throws Jar Jar from Hoth to Tattooine
We've had a lot of very consistent energy feats, but so far speedwise Lego Star War still has quite a way to catch up with Legends and even Disney. That ends today.
3:08
The Wampa throws Jar Jar Binks and a portion of the Death Star from Hoth to Tattooine, although there's a screen swipe to indicate the passing of time, it's still possible to find a timeframe for this. Brick Bounty is a comedic retelling of the Original Trilogy, with various scenes from each movie. Jar Jar is thrown during the Battle of Hoth and ends up on Tattooine during the Battle of the Pit of Carkoon, or at the start of Empire Strikes Back and the start of Return of the Jedi. Looking up the Star Wars timeline, Empire Strikes Back takes place over a month (the source being Star Wars: The Essential Atlas) while Return of the Jedi takes place a year after Empire, meaning the total amount of time Jar Jar was flying between worlds was a year and a month, or 13 months. A year is 365 days and a month is on average 30 days.
T = 365 + 30
= 395 X 24 X 60 X 60
= 34128000s
Now we need the distance from Hoth to Tattooine. The diameter of the Star Wars galaxy is 120,000 lightyears.
1380 pixels = 120,000LY
1 pixel = 120,000/1380 = 86.9565217LY
86.9565217LY X 529 = 46000LY
T = 46000LY/34128000s
= 1.27515327e13/299792458
= 42534.5347 C
Final Results
Porgs survive the Death Star exploding = 121.03 petatons
Porgs are fired into the Death Star vent = Mach 73.758
Star Destroyer spirals through asteroid field = Mach 59.538
Star Destroys knocks a giant asteroid (low end) = 183.943 gigatons
Star Destroys knocks a giant asteroid (mid end) = 361.221 gigatons
Star Destroys knocks a giant asteroid (high end) = 709.113 gigatons
Wampa throws Jar Jar from Hoth to Tattooine = 42534.535 C
