Yes you can.

Over several instances, a force user's power has been implied in the series.


Revan survived 300 years of torture.

He managed to destroy a sith, despite this sith having his powers being multiplied by an incredible amount as he was utilizing the Star Forge.

Darth Krayt is also quite powerful, as was Exar Kun. Both undoubtedly more so than Palpatine. Hell, it's possible Exar Kun is more powerful than Revan.


No you cannot.

Revan was kept in stasis by Vitiate.

He was able to defeat Malak a Sith of unknown power.

Why do you say that?
Nothing to see here. Move along.

That's not even his most impressive feat though considering the fact that he could just basically open up a black hole on any opponent besides GM Luke. :P

And he was able to beat Luke in their first encounter in a lightsaber duel. Despite Luke not being at his prime in terms of lightsaber combat, he was still extremely powerful and that was an impressive feat. Just note that in their second encounter, Luke defeated Palpatine but Palpatine was still able to hold up for a while.

Fancy lightning.

Starkiller does better.

And he's not even fucking close to Revan.


Starkiller is proficient in the use of lightning and perhaps has come close to Palpatine's own but that hardly matters as lightning is one of the least important aspects of a fight.

Why do you say he's not close to Revan?

Read up Exar Kun and Darth Krayt.


Malak was being boosted by the Star Forge. Even a meek apprentice would have power comparable to the greatest of sith lords if they were utilizing the Star Forge.

It sounds to me like you're just fanboying over your wrinkly old fuck.

Well in the second encounter he had Leia helping him so it's possible Sidious could have won the duel at that point also.

StarKiller has raw power, nothing else. He is just like Anakin, he uses raw power but never had the time to reach his full potential. Yes I am aware that Palpatine stated that StarKiller could even much him some day but guess what? he didn't. Also be more specific because their are three starkillers, the original one, Galen Marek and two other clones.

Because his accomplishments come nowhere near Revan's.

Revan, in the end never lost a fight. Even when he did, he always came back and won the rematch. The old republic canon never mentions how he died, or if he even did die.

I've read up on both.

You can't say that with any confidence considering they never specified how amped a force user would be when using the Star Forge.

I enjoy Dooku as a character but I am most certainly not a fanboy.

He actually did lose a fight to Vitiate and the Sith group in the KotOR multiplayer.

Where was the rematch with either of them?

Revan actually went to a similar station as the Star Forge called The Foundry where he began building a army of droid assassins with which to defeat Vitiate with. It is unknown what happened to him after that point.

No. I just know a lot about Star Wars and can beat your opinion with facts. I am not even above 20 years old. I
Palpatine was born after the Star Forge was destroyed. :roll: Also, can Exar Kun and Darth Krayt fight on equal terms with Yoda. Nop.

She provided a lot of support through the force and bolstered Luke. It also has to do with a prophecy of how Sidious would be defeated by the twins working together or something along those lines implying he could beat them individually.

1. Yep

Hell Nihilus fits two of those 3 descriptions.

You need to read up on Revan, and Naga Sadow.

Also, what about that one Sith Lord that destroyed an entire star system?

Not Dooku, Palpatine.

Exar Kun drained the life force from an entire fucking race.

Even as a spirit, he still kicked ass.


Revan had precognition. He killed Mandalore the Ultimate in single combat.

Kreia claims looking at Revan was like staring into the heart of the force.

He knew both light and dark.


He had farsight. He burned Darth Nyriss into ash by redirecting her own sith lightning.

He commanded an entire empire from the front lines.

A lot.

Only two active ones, but a lot.

I may not be knowledgeable on all Exar Kun's feats but I know Sidious mind wiping an entire planet beats mind wiping an entire race.

Same with Palpatine. He was able to use Essence Transfer to come back to life multiple times.


Most Jedi and Sith have precognition.

Impressive accolades but the feats just aren't there to back it up.

Many Jedi and Sith did.

An impressive feat.

More of a tactical feat but I'll give you that.

I'm pretty sure mind-wiping the Massassi is more impressive than mind-wiping a planet, considering they're on a lot more planets than one.
