A huh, I fail to see anyway how the Jedi Archives could be complete in any way considering the TREMENDOUS amount of damage three and possibly four successive wars have done to the Jedi Order. During the time of Exar Kun's defeat on Yavin the Jedi numbered in the thousands, and by the end of KOTOR 2 there were less then 100 Jedi even in the galaxy, the most prominent being Jedi Exile and Bastila. Also considering the Jedi had abandoned the Coruscant temple, and the Dantooine temple archives have been looted, and Exar's destruction of the Jedi Library on Ossus, you can't seriously tell me the the archives were complete...
And considering the quote that gets thrown around so much, it also has "It is believed" before it and its logically impossible for him to have knowledge of EVERY Jedi power, considering
A. He couldn't even open the one holocron we are shown him having, I can't see ANY Jedi holocrons opening for him.
B. NO Jedi spirit would teach him ANYTHING
C. Honestly how many powerful Jedi were left in the galaxy that could teach him anything he didn't already know. He killed the best of the best already.
Its impossible.
Has that been confirmed to have been a Force attack? Likewise, the question you asked me "well why hasn't Palpatine performed [insert feat here] elsewhere?". I ask you the same. If this is a Force based attack and if it is so deadly, why aren't there accounts of him doing it elsewhere? Why not on the Jedi who confronted him? Why not on the Republic fleets he engaged?
I didn't say that don't put quotation marks around it if I didn't say it. And does it matter? He must do the feat in abundance for it ti be acceptable, THe Rataka referred to force powers as "magic" and said Revan called it the force. They do the same when The One says Revan used his magic to rip their language from their heads and install basic, note he did this to every single one of them on the planet.
Revan has not performed any attacks such as this. To assert that he is as powerful as the Emperor - or even extremely close to him may be difficult. I do not deny that Revan has a chance in single combat, but he has not performed any feat as powerful as Sidious's own.
Not quite, considering Revan himself is stronger then a PLANET so saturated in Dark Side energy that its affects could be felt from space, so powerful that it broke and corrupted Kreia, Since we know that Revan has a Battle Precognition on a higher level then the most powerful Echani generals who could see months in the future, meaning he could effectively combat Sidious's speed in a straight duel I'd give an edge to Revan however in the force as I've said Sidious is stronger, and would probably overall win more often then not its just not the utter WTFpwnage that certain users want you to believe coughlightsnakecough 😛
