Darth Sidious vs. Darth Revan

Started by Dark-Kenshin5 pages

It's a cycle no different than the struggle between the Jedi and Sith. Sure, Sheevites have the majority now, but 10 years from now, I suspect the opinions of today will seem . . . heretical.

If Legends versus debating is still a thing, maybe, but I actually think the antedeluvians are permanently a thing of the past; I don't see how they're going to come back.

Unless Revan's spirit comes back resurrected and Exar Kun's a bunch of powerful individuals, yeah, I don't see it happening.

Well I mean there's still room for Bioware to wank Valkorion and co., but the Kun's are basically lost.

I was referring to when Exar Kun stomped Luke and the NJO as a spirit.

Though if he does it to Luke it would probably be labeled as an inconsistency, while impressive.

Watch him come back as a spirit and ragdoll Abeloth or some shit, raising the bar.

Legends probably isn't continuing, so there's no chance of something like that happening unless if Bioware resurrects Kun's spirit and has him blow up a moon or something.

....I was referring to Revan replicating Kun's feat on a bigger scale.

In fairness, the facts support Sheev tremendously.

We still got one or two more seasons of GGkorion. Something tells me he's going to outstrip Sidious, as I was saying back in 2014 🙂

By coincidence, more or less. A lot of the people who were writing for Revan wanted him to be stronger than Palpatine, but mysteriously failed. It's not like there was a concerted effort by the mythos to pen Palpatine as more powerful, although certainly a sizable minority agreed to write about how he is.

There's a lot of sourcebooks penning him as the most powerful Sith Lord/dark side practitioner. It's been going on since the early 90's, and nobody's dared to contradict that.

Yeah, I mean with regard to feats, a lot of Sidious's best weren't written by the same people who wrote that he was the most powerful, and they probably didn't carefully vet them to make sure that they'd converge on that conclusion. But I guess the random nature of feats wars is just a common facet of these debates.

In fairness, DE's killed off all of the competition until Valkorion, lol.

So many old avatars and usernames.

Maybe I just root for the underdog but I used to support Papa Palpatine along with Lighty and a few others. But these days, I side a bit more with the older Sith like Bane, Kun and Revan.

It's small wonder, though - I've actually played KOTOR now. Revan is "me." No wonder I (and a lot of other KOTOR players) want him to be da strongest.

If nothing else, he has a way better design than Palpatine.

How the **** can anyone make an argument for Revan winning? I'd love to hear it. Sidious > Revan in force, knowledge, power, lightsaber skill. How the hell does he lose?
