Yeah, Solus, it doesn't make sense.
Palpatine managed to crawl his way up the political ladder until he became Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, where he had multiple face-to-face meetings with the likes of Yoda and Windu, as well as the Jedi Council.
He also dared to engineer a collosal war, knowing that - should he and Dooku die - the Sith would be extinct.
Revan's situation was different. Revan had hundreds of Dark Acolytes and an army as well. Palpatine had Dooku and a few Dark Jedi to assist him. Furthermore, Palpatine was seen as the institution.
What you consider a warrior is kind've weird. People shouldn't take needless risks. Palpatine's chance for success was greatly augmented by the fact that he controlled both ends, whereas Revan was a true warlord and just attempted to conquer his enemy. Essentially, while it was cooler - it was both reckless and extremely risky.
He says, "Do...do you think they can stop Revan, Lord Malak?"
To which Malak responds, "Of course not! But it will give me time to properly prepare the Star Forges defenses."
Revan walked into a place, with 2-5 other ppl, where an entire army of dark jedi, sith troopers, and a single powerful Sith Lord were expecting him.
Anakin walks into a place, with an army of the best of the best, where a few hundred to a few thousand jedi were not really expecting him (I got to admit though, this level was FREAKING hard in the Rots video game).
Anyways I say Revan wins, for the sole fact that he beat a powered up Malak that could 'POSSIBLY' demolish a Rots Yoda. But thats what I believe so noone get all their panties in a twist about it.

"Canon" Revan is a jedi and a Jedi would most likely attempt to avoid conflict. Like Old Ben on the death star, Revan probably tried to sneak through the Star Forge.
True, but the Death Star wasnt expecting Obiwan, hence his ability to avoid conflict on the Death Star. And Besides only Vader was there, if there had been at least 20 other dark jedi with intent to kill right then and there, aboard, Obi Wan wouldnt have made it past the Hangar. Scratch that, NOONE wouldve made it past the hanger.

yes that is the jedi way but being as how revan was a DLOTS and became redeemed don't you think he wanted to kill malak and his followers. i mean the jedi want a diplomatic resolve in everycase but when it comes to the sith i think they'd rather just kill them.

I actually want to say Anakin, but I'm not sure, we don't really have any solid setting or Revan's power.As for your question, Solus, it is a bad cover up for the OT's graphics. Lucas wanted to downplay Vader from the OT so that he had an excuse for why the PT movies are so much faster and... well, have the special effects and all. Although, Vader is very powerful from the OT, as we see from novels, the movies themselves, comics, how Old Ben mentioned that Vader hunted down and defeated the remaining Jedi Knights, and, believe it or not, Lucas himself. He shouldn't become less powerful because he loses body mass, it was just a lame cover-up, I mean, look at Yoda.
Exactly, but the problem is that you're using logic, which is strictly prohibited around here. Remember, everything Lucas says goes, nomatter WHAT it is, and everything about the SW movies makes perfect sense. 🙄

Yes except that Revan possibly had a stealth belt, while Obi didn't. And do we know there are hundreds?
If Revan is as powerful as you say he should be able to mask his precense in the force, and the game shows your able to use stealth/invisibility to sneak past almost any enemy....
And it's gameplay. I'm sure Jaden in JA didn't face hundreds of dark jedi alone, or is he at the level of Revan? Oh except the fact that Revan had team mates with him....
