Darth Revan: One of the greatest military generals, EVER?

It was an analogy, you do/or had English classes right?

Yes, and logic classes. However, that analogy was irrelevant, didn't make any sense, and was utterly stupid, hence why it "threw me off".

I'm sure something that has absolutely nothing to do with the specific debate wouldn't through you off?

"z0mg a cat 4nd a crad13, th3ref0ur 1nan1m4te 0bj3ct < fuzzb4ll, cuz 1ts h3vi1r cuz 1t c4n 3at. "

That was just an example of what your analogy sounds like. Seeing as it has nothing to do with the actual debate.

lmao

I got to jump in on this one. Thrawn had his skills. I will give him that. He battled the more highly trained New Republic. But the republic is not a waring people. They are not raised to fight, raised to war with in themselves and other systems. They fight for defence not for conquest. Sure they may of been better trained for battle then the empire or the rebels but Thrawn was still never fully challenged.

Now we have Revan. He led the republic into battle against the most highly of trained solders ever. The Mandelorians (spell check). These people were trained from birth to fight. Fight for defence and for conquest. You could not find a better, tougher army to face.

Now not knowing too much about the Mandelorian Wars and Revans battles you can not truly compare. You will have to wait for the next installment of KOTOR to know, thats if they go into more detail. So I would like rather follow Revan in to battle. At least he was a Jedi/Sith. Revan can do one thing I don't think Thrawn has ever done and that was defeat a force user in one on one battle.

Your battle prowess has no bearing, none, on your mano a mano fighting skill....Thrawn was going against the entire New Republic and even planned ahead for his own death

Ok, let me put it into two terms. I meant they were both unexperienced factions, one just being a little more skilled than the other.

And, I suppose "a lot better trained and motivated" = a little more skilled?

Well, I am sorry guys, but I just absolutely hate Zhan, his books are terrible, its the only thing I don't consider Star Wars.

Lol, you've just dissed easily one of the best pieces of SW literature...

It doesnt even feel like Star Wars. Cloned Dark Jedi, animals that could block the force.

First off, the "Battle of Dxun" was lead by the Exile, not Revan, was it not?

Also, the Ysalamari are considered VERY canon, whether you like it or not.

And clones are a BIG part of Star Wars, how can you say it feels like non-Star Wars?

Anything from Zhan > All other EU.

Oh, Revan would certainly rank up there as far as tactics are concerned. But in my opinion, the undisputed tactical genius of Star Wars has, and will always be, Grand Admiral Thrawn. He nearly drove the Republic to the brink of destruction with less than a quarter of the Empire's forces, even when they were allied with Iblis [who is a tactical juggernaut in his own right] and Admiral Ackbar.

Im sorry, but Zhan does not feel like Star Wars.

Which has no relevancy whatsoever.

I have to disagree, Shatterpoint from a quality of literature perspective is easily the best SW novel.

Thrawn shit is as un star wars as NJ order.
