You may as not a single person you listed is more powerful then Sidious.

Lightsaber styles are important but the difference in Form VII and Form I aren't so large that a Form VII practitioner would be able to survive nearly 100 times longer then a Form I practioner on a similar if lesser tier.

The consensus on the Sidious vs Mace fight is what I've stated and those that disagree are seen as little more then Windu fanboys. Don't tell me you're one.

Spoder wrote:Kit Fisto literally got his head cut off in a few seconds of fighting Palpatine.


Which simply strengthens my belief that Sidious played with Mace for the entirety of their duel given Fisto's own skill level.

The only reason why Kit Fisto was beaten by Palpatine was because the lightsaber form he uses Form I: Shii-Choo is specialized against multiple opponents, not one and it is wild and aggressive and doesn't have a calm nature. You may say that I am wrong and use a piece of evidence like Kit Fisto vs Grievous in where Kit Fisto defeated Grievous but Griveous had multiple weapons which Shii Choo can battle against because multiple opponents have multiple weapons

Can Naga Sadow, Marka Ragnos, and Revan be able to summon a force storm which devours worlds? Nop. Can they be able to master all lightsaber forms to their highest profiency? Nop Can they be able to defeat Grand Master Yoda or at least somewhat hold him off? Nop

The only reason why Mace was able to keep up with Palpatine was because he was using Form Seven, Vaapad which allows someone to channel in the dark side of the force as a useful tool in service of the light. Dooku doesn't go all fighting and animalistic like Darth Maul, he keeps a calm and calculated focus and before you even start to say that Dooku uses the dark side of the force in attacks like force push, telekinesis, let me state that telekinesis is a neutral power and possesses no alignment according to the star wars wikia and their is a light side force lightning power called Electric Judgement so yeah.


That is true but you should have seen Sidious in that duel with Yoda. Dooku probably was able to hold off Yoda because Yoda probably felt bad for him and didn't want to fight considering Dooku was Yoda's padawan but Yoda did fight like a boss.

:') Beautiful. I've been trying to explain this to them.

To be fair I do have to add that Dooku while being able to fight Yoda on equal terms for a while would have ultimately lost the fight.


I don't even think this people know what the lightsaber forms even are.

No I understand this I was simply making the point that since Mace's skill level while higher then Fisto's own they were still able to spar together and thus Mace must have had a specific amp for this fight to have survived so much longer the Fisto did in the first place regardless in the differences in their Lightsaber forms.

None of them have ever been able to create a force storm strong enough to devour worlds, mastered all forms of Lightsaber combat or are able to hold off Yoda. Nihilus doesn't use force storm nor has he master all Lightsaber forms and its debatable that he could beat Yoda as he'd simply be blitzed before he could use force drain.

I'm going to go with Mace Windu, since he came very close to killing Palpatine during a duel until Anakin intervened.

I think that was partly it but Dooku seemed skilled enough on his own to be able to hold Yoda off if only for a few minutes.

Some people sadly don't. :(

He had an amp during that fight that won't be present here and it has already been shown that he has fought evenly with a pre Sith Dooku and stalemated an opponent Dooku has beaten regularly. I don't see how the Sidious fight is applicable here at all.

I want to see a source of Naga Sadw. Revan, and Marka Ragnos summoning force storms. PS, Darth Nihilus was a 'wound in the force' and he consumed life force energies to make his hunger go away. It is even shown that when he hasn't consumed life force energies for a while, he becomes weak.

By the way, the era of Naga Sadow and Marka Ragnos concentrated on Sith Alchemy so fighting with swords usually took a back sit therefore they aren't even CLOSE to having the lightsaber mastery of GM Yoda. Also, Naga Sadow blowing up a star doesn't count considering it was a labor intensive technique and required a lot of focus where summoning force storms was also labor intensive and required a lot of focus but Sidious didn't need an artifact to do so where other Sith who have summoned force storms required an artifact.

Fisto only had Ataru on his side and a mastery of Shii Choo while Mace mastered all the lightsaber forms but I don't believe he could steel beat Dooku considering the fact that Dooku has lived for DECADES and has years of experience, and has refined Form II: Makashi to its highest level EVER!

Also Naga Sadow used an artifact to help him cause a dying son to go supernova and Revan's own force storm in the KotOR game effected a small area not even as large as a football field. I don't know why it's listed as a force storm but it apparently is.

Fisto was knowledgeable in other forms as shown in "The Cestus Deception" but I know what you're saying. I believe that Mace and Dooku are equals in terms of skill and versatility but Dooku has the experience and in my opinion superior force powers.

Oh trust me I have and I love both of them and their feats but we must consider combative applications of the force and Sidious has a lot of them. His force lightning was stated to burn someone's body. That's how powerful he is.

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.

Fancy lightning.

Starkiller does better.

And he's not even fucking close to Revan.
