Something I don't know about? Do tell.

Some Dark Jedi flee Coruscant.

They turned on a superweapon called the "Cosmic Turbine". They done goofed, and the detonation destroys the entire star system and the dark jedi.

It causes the great sith war.

Oh cool. I really need to learn more about the Ancient Sith in Star Wars.

Can you explain the situation in which it happened or link a source to it?

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.

And who is to say Palpatine never heard Precogniation. Palpatine mastered all lightsaber forms to their highest levels. One of you stated that I read about Exar Kun. I know he is a user of Form IV: Niman and Palpatine used that, including its variant Jar'Kai duel blade fencing and was a master at it(watch Palpatine vs Darth Maul and Savage Opress who are impressive in their own right) Palpatine was able to use force stealth to hide from the entire Jedi Fucking Order! No one saw that he was Darth Sidious until he choose to reveal himself and he did that for DECADES. I want to see Revan do that.

Palpatine also had far sight as well and Mandalore the Ultimate didn't have force abilities so he doesn't count and Revan being a force sensitive could have used force augmented strikes to take down Mandalore the Ultimate.

He doesn't know the light and the dark, he had been a Jedi and a Sith Lord, nothing else. You also have to consider the fact that their were no Massasi during Palpatine's time. PS, Palpatine had the power to drain planets with force storm, PLANETS!

Planets.

An entire race.

An entire race > 1 planet


You don't much about Mandalore the Ultimate, do you? Guy's called "Ultimate" for a bloody reason.

Revan didn't need to hide behind a mask to absolutely terrify the Jedi Order in a couple of short years, and drive them to the edge.

He became a Jedi master. He fought in the Mandalorian wars. Afterwars, he turned to the dark side. Went to the lost world.

Created a sith empire. Then, he studied under the jedi again.

He knew both the light and the dark.

You mean this statement right?

"Near the end of the Sith War, Kun's prowess in the dark side had reached esoteric levels, such as when he drained the life-force out of almost the entire Massassi race and when he abandoned his mortal body."

This is of course in reference to when he enslaved the population on Yavin IV am I correct?

Actually not only force storms but also with his telepathy as displayed on Byss.

How many Purebloods were their at that time? I want to know because Purebloods are nearly extinct. You already stated that "he knew both the light and the dark". Palpatine created the most powerful Empire the galaxy had ever known and destroyed the Galactic Republic which existed for 24,000+ plus

Well for the race planet argument that's debatable but Exar Kun is much more powerful then I gave him credit for telepathically I think.


Well it is just a title but his feats show him to be an accomplished warrior.

While I agree Revan was charismatic and tactical genius Sidious's plot orchestrating the downfall of the Republic is on par or above Revan's own tactical prowess.

True.

True.

True.

I guarantee they were already extinct.

Well the Empire was indeed powerful at its peak probably the most powerful Empire in Galactic History and Luke Skywalker destroying Palpatine for the first time was what really caused the fall of the Empire as he had tied his very will to it.

Exactly.

Palpatine was the kingpin of the sith empire. Without him, the empire faded away into a wimpy remnant.

When Revan disappeared, another took his place.

Well likely the same thing would have happened if Darth Vader had survived and remained on the Dark Side. In essence I'm not arguing which faction was stronger but who was personally stronger.

You mean Darth Malak who had to resort to being a pussy and betraying Revan in another ship than fighting Revan head on?

Revan's system ensured powerful enough underlings for his empire to survive.

Sidious basically took the rule of two and added a bunch of blaster firing soldiers, and a few acolytes.

By the way the Empire survived. You should read the Dark Empire Arc. Palpatine survived the Death Star. Also the Imperial Remnant was still a powerhouse in those times and it was what was left of the Galactic Empire

That doesn't help your argument at all.

The fact that his own apprentice, who was also utilizing the power of the Star Forge had to resort to underhanded tactics (and still failed) only strengthens my argument.
