Alright well, I don't think Revan is being given enough credit by some people. Yes, he's gonna lose. And yes, it won't be an especially close fight. But Luke is going to work up a significant sweat winning this and I woudn't be surprised if he earned some nice news scars/fake body parts.

Work up a sweet,definitely but earning scars/fake body parts scars maybe but it definitely seems to be pushing it to me that revan make a luke lose a body part and then it would seem like luke would be driven to the limit in that case. And I don't think revan is that good to make luke lose body parts.
He lost his arm because he was distracted as to what was happening with Mara Jade. And when Luke was in "kill mode" he destroyed her. Luke would have no distractions here.
Darth Hord nailed it on the head. Twice. I wouldn't have such a problem with SW LeGenD or the KotoR era if he didn't make a habit of cramming in "Revan is very powerful!", "Revan is very smart!", and "Revan is a great Sith!" into every post he makes -- even if he acknowledges that Revan would get WTFpwned, he has to cram that detail in.
We comprehend: Revan's pretty damn uber. No one here has contested that. But are there stronger characters? Yes. Are there smarter characters? Yes. Are there characters with greater achievements? Yes. Are there characters who are have all three on Revan? Yes. And every time you fellate Revan, I make it my personal mission to fellate every other character to make the point.
Actually, it's a canon fact that Revan is less than RotS Yoda and RotS Sidious. It's been argued that they couldn't give Luke -- at this time -- that hard of a fight, so Revan likely won't either.
This is true. However, this was a half-distracted Luke who was using most of his energy trying to keep the bar patrons from killing him (and from Lumiya killing them), as well as fighting Lumiya at the same time. And he still won. Strength for strength? She doesn't register at all, and you know that.
The only way Revan's going to injure Luke is if he uses the circumstances against him: which is fair and legitimate, as Revan is surely -- tactically, at least -- Luke's superior. But is he anything approaching Luke's strength? No.
But we can't necessarily rely on that. That Lumiya managed to outwit Luke on one occasion and injure him due to manipulation of circumstances does not suggest that she will always be able to do so, nor that anyone else would. Emperor Palpatine manipulated the galaxy for two decades -- outwitting supremely powerful Force-users and experienced warriors -- and he's far closer to Luke than Revan is. If we use this line of logic, Palpatine will pwn Luke and anyone else every time simply because, not only is he comparable to Luke in strength, he's a hell of a lot smarter.
I dont really see the point of putting Luke in a 1on1 match with anyone. He'll always win, most of them quite easily I might add. Man, if I were only an admin here, I would add another rule stating that Luke should NOT be used in a 1 on 1 match. He can only be used if more than 1 combatant is against him.
Not questioning you or anything, but Im curious can you show me this canon fact or atleast point me to a source.
It pretty much goes like this ROTS Sidious is called the most powerful sith lord ever. And ROTS is called the most devastating foe the darkside has ever seen.(or something along those lines) Which means that post kotor revan (who is a jedi) can't be more powerful than yoda who was able to stalemate the most powerful sith lord ever. So by that line of thought he isnt more powerful.
You're entitled to question me whenever you please. As for your answer, in the RotS novelization, Yoda is called "the most devastatingly powerful foe the darkness had ever known" by the omniscient narrator.
Revan getting WTFpwned is a judgment that you cannot use in this case. You or anybody else don't know enough about Revan's abilities. But keeping Revan's feats in mind, it is hard to say that he will get WTFpwned in a fight.
You have to look at what Revan did on the Star Forge.
Revan's performance on the Star Forge:
"It is a place which was already filled with strong dark side presence and this would give the Sith stationed over there additional bonus.
Then when the fight began, Revan first destroyed an entire army of SF battle droids. Those droids were powerful enough to even deal with the Jedi as even Malak was surprised when they were wiped out but then he acknowledged that it happened only because of Revan. His two other companions were not powerful enough to do so by themselves.
Then Malak decided to send every thing at his disposal against Revan. Even then he doubted that it would stop Revan and would instead only slow him down. And we know that what happened to Malak's Sith and not to forget that they were being aided by Bastilla's powerful BM.
Then Revan reached Bastilla and overcame her singlehandedly even when the Star Forge was directly replenishing her energies.
After that he once again had to face a large numbers of SF battle droids by himself and they were being constantly generated by SF droid generators and still Revan overcame the odds.
Then finally, Revan faced the DLOTS who had made certain preparations that made him nearly unstoppable and despite of that, we know that who came out victorious."
NOTE: This is Revan who does not remembers his knowledge fully yet.
So we are talking about a person who managed to do all this inside the stronghold of the Sith and you think that he will get WTFpwned? Show me a "combat feat" of Darth Caedus that surpasses Revan's performance on the Star Forge.
OK! I admit that Revan would loose in this fight but even then you cannot say that he would go down "very easily." His abilities are not to be under-estimated.
Once again! Very few characters have surpassed Revan.
You and some others do not give enough credit to Revan. This is why I argue for him.
Again this means something?
Power is not the only deciding factor in fights. A character grows or changes with passage of time.
Even then Revan has shown us that he is damn good in combat and his feats are amazing.
You seem to forget that Mara Jade Skywalker was going to defeat Darth Caedus even when Caedus was more powerful. Her smartness is what gave her massive advantage. But then again Caedus was not an idiot either and manage to win through a cheap shot.
Now since Revan is very smart, he will most certainly try to take advantage of the circumstances around him to make some gains in the fight. Though Luke is so powerful that he manages to tolerate a lot more then any Jedi could, so he might still win.
Luke is the strongest character in SW mythos. So I don't think that he should be used in 1 on 1 fights any more.

First off let me state that no one here is underestimating Revan like you think.
And you wanted a feat from Jacen Solo well here is one during his duel with Omni. And this speaks for itself.
Jacen defeated Onimi and it is indeed an amazing accomplishment. But you have to keep in mind 3 points here:
1) Onimi is not a Force User. He could not use the Force offensively on Jacen.
2) Jacen had "Wong Sense" ability, which was an added bonus for him.
3) Then Jacen could use the Force to vastly amplify his strength, speed and effectiveness during combat against Onimi and he indeed did so.
Regarding Revan vs Malak on the Star Forge:
Like Revan, Malak was also among the exceptional warriors of his age.
"Though only a young man, his skill in battle and prowess with the lightsaber had already earned him renown within the Order." (Narration from official KOTOR website)
He was a master swordsman and also was strong in the Force. By the time when he became a DLOTS, his mastery in the Force improved so much that according to DSSB he wielded devastating dark side power.
Just like Revan, he too could use the Force offensively on his opponents at will and through the Force he could also amplify his strength, speed and effectiveness in combat.
Then this battle was taking place on the Star Forge, which was filled with strong dark side presence of the Force. This would also further boost the power of an already very powerful Sith Lord.
Then further add to this the Malak’s preparations that would give him noticeable advantage in the fight. "The Sith Lord had grotesquely adapted the Rakatan device to draw energy directly from chained Jedi captives. He replenished his life force from the captives by draining theirs.” (Star Wars databank)
So this fight was not at all on equal terms. Malak had made himself “nearly unstoppable” through the Star Forge and still Revan prevailed.
Now decide that who was better.

So Jacen reached that state and was never able to reach it again. Luke and Anakin also reached that state. Interesting how that wasn't the "First time", and that it was a common technique among the Jedi Order during ancient times.
