I agree with you there, but I still haven't seen anything that will ever make him compare to Yoda. Yoda has seen so much more than Revan and was far superior as a Jedi. Yes I know, Yoda is mostly a scholar, but the force is about knowledge
You're hopeless. Yoda is old. He's arthritic. He's a Jedi in a time of relatively weak Jedi. True, he was perhaps closer to an ideal Jedi than Revan as far as teachings go, but in terms of combat and wartime expertise, Revan wins. It's that simple. Revan's knowledge was of Sith and Jedi. He was a master planner, and an unrivaled Sith Lord in the times shortly after Exar Kun. Yoda was.... short, green, and looked like he was having trouble keeping that rock from crushing Obi and Anakin.
hmmm, Reavan conquered the republic, he claimed the title of of sith lord twice, he killed every1 who stood in his way.
yoda didnt kill any1 in the movies as far as i can remember(not jedi at least) revan has same amount of knowledge as yoda i think, and far more expirience. he is better with saber, and many said, that the force is like a storm around him. he is definatly more powerful then yoda.
Revan was never defeated, either. Unless you count getting shot from afar by a capital ship being defeated. And Yoda's 700+ years of knowledge come from post-Ruusan era Jedi, who were few in number and mostly diplomats who the majority of never fought a Sith in their life. Revan made a living defeating Sith and Jedi alike.
I see what you're saying, but if Yoda would have lived in the times of Revan I don't think Revan could defeat him darkside or lightside, and I know Yoda would whoop some serious *ss.
I just think it's funny you treat 700+ years of Jedi training (even if they are diplomats) so lightly. The things he's seen, the people he has known etc. And if those damn Skywalkers would have listened to him there wouldn't be an Emperor Palpatine problem
He's not saying its nothing, its just nothing compared to the knowledge Revan gathered. A lot more knowledge was avalaible to him... Not to mention that Revan fought a lot of enemy's, what the hell did Yoda fight? Yoda may have been one of the most powerful of his time, Revan was the most powerful. He was undefeated, he could not be beaten. And that in a time when there were so many more Sith and Jedi to fight... Yoda wouldn't have a real chance
More or less, yeah. Yoda is the man, and I'm sure in another age or time he would have been even better. But I think there's a reason we like Yoda and that's because he doesn't have to fight. He's a true Jedi. He fights only as a last result. And while because of that he's not the amazing saber dancer that Anakin is, or the Ninja that Obi is, he's still wise and powerful to boot.
But Revan was young and human and had the Force bursting out of his ears. He wanted to fight and fight and win. And he did. It's also a difference of perspectives.
I think we should consider that Jedi never reach the offensive capabilities of a Sith unless they give in to the dark side. Mace's power draws on both sides to some extent, and he is easily one of the best Jedi swordsman of all time. Yoda, for all his proclaimed power, wasn't able to murder Dooku in under a minute. And considering Revan could make Dooku his *****, I think the old Sith lord could whup Yoda's little green ass.
