well althou i am completely in favour of revan, he did however had great jedi talents like the exile and malak(traitor from afar, but still, he was only defeated by revan) and i am sure many more.
thrawn on the other hand, had a much bigger fleet, but still couldnt prevail against dying republic.
REVAN
ps. maybe i got a lil carried away with that anal raping and all 🙂
i can't see revan winning actually: i mean, have you read outbound flight?
the way Thrawn made an entire battle fleet, and remember, that fleet was supposed to destroy FIVE ships full of JEDI. that's how deadly that fleet was supposed to be, and thrawn destroyed it with the equivalent of a squadron of fighters.
All we have to describe Revan's exploits in tactics are the quotes of people that revere revan (Mandalore, Bao Dur, etc. ) we don't actually know HOW he did it. Remember, Revan is human, so Thrawn has studied human art, and by that figured pretty much exactly how to defeat every human he encountered.
Thrawn had equal or betters troops compared to his opponents.
Revan had the ain't-worth-a-shit Old Republic soldiers.
Thraw opponents were used to using overwhelming force or guerilla tactics to win BATTLES. Neither as a whole had much foresight in winning a war.
The Mandalorians entire culture was based on warfare. They knew pretty much everything there was to know about any-type of confict.
Their commanders were capable of brilliant tactics again and again.
And the Old Republic Fleet was all but defeated and he still managed to pushed them back an defeated them.
Revan ftw.
Constuctive enough?

Thrawn's aim was to place himself on the Imperial Throne. He'd have to win a war with the New Republic to do that.
Successful use of guerilla tactics is a measure of one's brilliance.
Revan knew the Mandalorians most obvious flaw was their love of battle. It's not too hard for someone as intelligent as him to put that knowledge to his advantage. Thrawn meantime was working with a deeply fractured Imperial Remnant (unofficially named so) split by warlordism and Republic attacks.
He rose to power using only a few initial Star Destroyers, took back 1/3 of Republic territory, killed 10% of their forces, wounded another 30%, and that being just an average doesn't actually include the world Thrawn hit. All that in one year.
Damn, I'm gonna read the Thrawn trilogy again. Best SW books IMO.

Thats one thing I never got however. If I want to debate on duku vs himself at age 2, and I do a search for it, like a good boy, I see it, i go in it, and now wtf am i supposed to do? Im not allowed to revive old threads so i might as well just make a new one...
