This thread ought to be continued, for the sake of allowing the immense vestiges of fanboyism to be observed. Darth Somebody and Nai both made good points, but I'm surprised that they went as far as they did. Darth Somebody went out of his way to argue against Revan's Sith related accomplishments and his political skills. And then we have Nai who tried to argue that Sidious got lucky when he killed the Jedi Masters in his office and that Yoda is smarter than him.

Ok I am starting a debate on who is more powerful. Darth Revan or Darth Sidious and who would win in a fight? Personaly my money goes on Revan for several reasons. (note according to Lucasfilms Revan was a man sorry to any female fans out there) Sorry for my bad spelling!1. He defeated Mandalor who was one of the greatest warriors in the galaxy.
2. He was a master tactiction and brilliant military leader.
3. He was one of the most accomplished duelists of the time equaled(not rivaled) only by Malak.
4. He was one of the Ancient Sith Lords.
5. He amassed a force of Jedi under one banner to defeat the Mandalorian threat.
6. He is considered by many (not all) to be the most powerful Sith Lord of all time.
7. While Sidious was powerful and was the one to take over the Old Republic you must understand that Papaltine was very good at political maneuvering. Revan was also a skilled politian yet a warrior at the same time.
8. Revan would have conquered the Old Republic had Malak not betrayed him.
9. Just because Sidious could use Force Lightning does not mean crap. When he nearly killed Luke on the second Death Star it was only becasuse Luke being the idiot he was threw down his lightsaber and stood there like a fool. Revan could use Force Lightning just as well as any other Sith better even.
10. Revan was a master of both the Dark and Light sides.
11. Revan's will was so strong that he resisted the corruption of the Dark Side was still able to master and wield it just as well as any Sith.
12. Plus he just kicks ass.
