Actually the force makes people fast as lightning making it seem as they would have a pre-cog ability. Well...still Yoda didn't need a lightsaber to avoid strikes from three Jedi Council members. Do you realy think Revan can do more attacks on Yoda than three Jedi Council Members can at once ?
The size thing just weakens Revans ability to attack Yoda. If you believe Revan used a flawless lightsaber form they would continue to fight forever since none of them would be able to hit the other.
Sorry if it seemed to you as I were comparing the movie Sith to Revan. Obviously they are children compared to Revan. I was just talking about general problems somebody would have when he has to fight Yoda.
That things said in KOTOR are still counting for "normal" users of that technique not for people who have used it for 800 years and have Yodas force knowledge. And still you would end up with two opponents both unable to hit the other with all advantages (read the thing about size I have postet) on Yodas side.
Please...try to keep that discussion "logical". There were no wars vs. Sith during Yodas times. If something is in the archieves he still wouldn't never seen it in real action. And all the other things could also be in the archieves since every Sith had access to worlds like Korriban and could have learned the "advanced" techniques.
We still turning in circles here. If Yoda never had contact to any Sith or Sith teachings past the battle of Ruusan, he wouldn't have known about the "one master one apprentice" rule of the Sith. And for the "advanced Sith techniques" - a deathfield is nothing compared to the ability to create life or control the medichlorians like Plagueis could do.
Yes ? If you have the ability to react on things fired at you with a high amount of speed (for example: arrows) but you don't know about guns: Would you still be able to block or avoid a bullet ?
Or for Yoda: It depends on what you thing how his force defence works. In my oppinion it's like that: Somebody manipulates the force to throw something on Yoda. Yoda senses the manipulation and then he
a) sees the movement in the force and reverses it to throw the things back that were thrown at him.
b) simply stops the movement in the force and absorbs what was thrown on him
In both cases he would be able to redirect or absorb everything that is thrown at him even without knowing what that thing thrown at him would do. If you have another idea how force defence works please give me your oppinion.
And again there is something without logic. If they found a tablet from Darth Bane they must have known that the Sith were still around.
The pre-cog doesn't nullify the things I said about size. See...the size just will give Revan a hard time to hit Yoda. And still the "never faced something with his form" thing counts for both sides.
Take a look at what I have written about force defence. And we saw Yoda using the force in an offensive way in ROTS.
-The thing is I actually do beleive Revan could do better than the three jedi did, his pre-cog is very advanced to the point where he knows what his opponents doing before his opponent does and if he knows exactly where yoda will jump to before yoda thinks,"I guess I'll jump there," and he moves just as quickly, so he would be able to know exactly where to hit down to the milimeter which is why I said it would negate size, it would still pose a small problem but definitley not anything that would make a difference. I also beleive that revans form is that much better, even in the movie you see sidious was able to disarm yoda with a simple burst of force lightning, and Revans force abilities are far beyond those of sidious.
-As for force defense, certain techniques just can't be blocked, as for how it actually works I beleive he takes the power thrown at him and tries to channel it back into the force or could absorb the force energy into his midichlorians and then expend the excess at his will, but that being said there is only so much he could handle, sids threw a force storm at him and he struggled A LOT to the point where you could say it pretty much broke his force defense and that is absolutley nothing compared what Revan could throw at him, you said it yourself, Sidious is but a child compared to him. As for yoda's offensive powers, it was more of a counterattack then an attack, he merely took what was thrown at him and returned it.
- As for the sith knowledge being in the academy, other then the fact yoda never used anything like death field or slow in his fights, powers that would pretty much alow him to anhilate his opponents, The tombs on korriban were destroyed in the fighting when revans sith empire, the knowledge on malachor v was lost after the planet was destroyed, and the knowledge on the outer rim worlds could've only been brought back by Revan or the exile because as far as we know they're the only two that went there. Also some of Revans knowledge came from his own experience which would make it almost exclusive to him.
-Yoda never fought in the battle of ruusan as it occured before he was born and after that the jedi thought all the sith were dead, how yoda knows the one master one aprrentice rule is either,
a. Lucas is an idiot
b. he found something written and merely assumed it to be written by the last of the sith or by freedon nadd.
As for Revan inventing his own style he is actually shown using his own style during one of the cutscenes from KOTOR 1.
Also not just anyone could learn the advanced techniques, you have to be at a cetrain level of power.
As for the sith holocrons, I doubt it, dooku probably learned it from sidious, and it being recorded in the archives is extemely likely as it's a power that's been used countless times against the jedi it would make sence that they leave a, this really hurts and most bad guys will use it against you style of warning.
As for my bullet example if you don't know a gun shoots bullets, chances are you won't catch one.
-finally the statement hundreds of years and a thousand years could and probably do mean the same thing, it doesn't dissprove or contadict it merely says it in a different way.
If there's anything you guys said that I forgot to adress please tell me and keep up the good posts these are more of the intelligent debates this forum neads, really good work fohl and darkstar.
