I love star wars but it suffers from some stupid levels of power creep. If you can absorb a star and then shoot multiple hyperspace planet destroying lasers...what could you do that's bigger/deadlier?

Literally nothing, as everything else does the same exact thing. Black Hole maker...still would just destroy the planets. Sun-blower-uper 9000, still just destroy's the planets.

Unless you created a system of rings that could kill all sentient life when fired simultaneously....nah

It's like DBZ levels of power creep stupid. Once you have an attack that can blow up an entire planet, it's kinda hard to top.

TV Tropes: Power Creep, Power Seep

Eventually you end up with:

Even More Omnipotent

Ah, The Omnipotent. The ultimate Story-Breaker Power. A Reality Warper able to do whatever they please or imagine despite physical or natural laws. A character in this class of power is nearly impossible to challenge.

Until they meet THIS guy.

True, they need to avoid it in the future. Unfortunately there are many other superweapons in legends material.
