Sidious from ROS (post dyad)

Grandmaster Luke (whichever era was his most powerful) from Legends continuity.

You think Luke > the power of all Sith?

I dont think a single Sith could have destroyed that many ships with One Lightning blast.

Even DE Sidious needed a storm to do that. And that was pre-made.

It's difficult to do cross-fiction (I'd basically call canon a different fiction for these purposes given the lack of a clear scaling anchor between canon and legends) versus with Legends characters due to the extreme range of feats for them - you have plenty of reason to believe that Legends Luke is on the level of lower-end interpretations of Superman, but then you also have him struggle with 4 YVH droids. Granted, a lot of Luke's lower-end feats can be handwaved by his propensity to hold back a lot (as admitted even IU), but it probably doesn't rationalize it completely.

ROS Sidious has an advantage in that he doesn't have the opportunities to have that many lower-end feats. If we use reasonably higher-end Luke (which I think is fair - he tends to scale up and down to his competition) and we don't say Sidious lifted the fleet at the beginning of the film, I'd say Luke *could* win by virtue of his performances against Abeloth, UnuThul, and DE Sidious (the latter of which was a massively pre-prime Luke).

Sidious's main points are:

- having the power of "all the sith" - if this literally translates into in-the-moment combat power, then Sidious would have a case for winning, but then again UnuThul has trillions of killiks and Luke stomped him.

- lightning feat against the fleet - depends on whether you think this is just raw lightning with zero amplification effects baked into the technique (e.g. if it was a proto-force storm)

Luke speedblitzes and cuts his head off. ROS Palpy was powerful, but didn't really have any combat feats.
