Darth Revan/ Darth Nihilus....Who are they?

The war and more specifically the battle of Malachor is what transformed the person who will be Nihilus.

You forgot Dooku, -waves his hand like a Jedi.

No, Dooky isn't in their league. He'll be forgotten by the world of cinema in ten years.

Thar is what I've read is that Carrick becomes Darth Nihilus. How can somebody like Carrick become a great Sith Lord?

Zayne Carrick doesn't become a great Sith Lord. He simply becomes Darth Nihilus. Can't you see where this is going yet?

I agree with you, I wouldn't call him a great sith lord,I barely qualify him as sith. He would have turned against them once the jedi were gone. I would call him a powerful sith lord but not great. He massacred a planet which included a few dozen jedi but I see a great sith lords who has done something meaningful, like Ragnos,Kun,Revan,Bane,Sidious,etc.

No, he's just not a great character. Something original or unpredictable would have been nice.

That too 🙂

I would say that Nihilus is original. How many sith lords are there that we don't know who they originally were,how many of them are there that we know of who talks a language thta we can't understand,plus the whole he is a wound in the force has never been a sith lord. His hunger is an original concept.(even though I am not a fan of it)

Black cape. Red Laser sword. Legions of Henchman. Yeah. Original.

Did you not read what I said? Many sith have those stuff. Not many siht talk like he does,there are none besides him who is a wound in the force,his "hunger" is orginal"(even though I hate it) and they way he his henchmen serve him is pretty original.

Of course I read what you said. Because the writers give him a few novelties, some cheap tricks doesn't make the chap original.

Well if no one had them before then the idea is original even if we don't like them.

Original like Darth Maul, yes 🙂

WTF I'm confoosed now.

I'll cite my earlier point. And maybe add a little inkling, just for you.

Black capes. Red Lazer Swords. Legions of Henchmen. Shadowy Types. Theactrical Accents. Standing on your own brooding. Crazy magic powers. Played by British actors.

What does Nihilus add to this pile of cliche's? A new language? Oh. Woo for him, he has a Degree in linguistics. Now he only needs to run a second hand bookshops and he's the works.

Well since no one else speaks like that's an original idea.
A sith lord that is a wound in the force original
The way he the ravager and crew serve him is original
His hunger and that unqiue drain is original
Just because you don't like him (I am not a big fan of his) doesn't make him original

Now he only needs to run a second hand bookshops and he's the works.

The Maul comment is what got me a little.

Who said I don't like him? I'm just being reallistic. He is only original in the way Darth Maul is original and that, as you can tell by my tone, is not original.

Ok so every sith who is has the same basics as Sidious is not origianl. (red saber,dark robes,and henchmen)When the rider does add "novelties" to their character they are still not original! 😉

It's simply trying to lay some cheap "innovations" to a popular formula. Question. What does Nihilus' perculiar dialect add to his demeanour?

A) Mystery

B) Isolation

C) Personality

If answer A, then, yes of course no Sith Lord could ever be considered mysterious.

If B, then yes, Sith Lords are known for there rabid social schedules and regular dinner parties.

If C, then your just plain bonkers. The ability to communicate coherently only through the Force gives a greater sense of mystique. So see answer A.
