The Campaign Guide books are c-canon. The stats of the characters which are defined in such books automatically become c-canon.
The "gameplay mechanics" and "stats of the characters" defined in the Star Wars games are actually not canon. The cutscenes, videos, events, and background descriptions regarding characters in the Star Wars games are however c-canon.

Then again as usual you derail the topic, i asked you to read those sourcebooks because they show the stats of sidious and njo luke.
Since when did I derailed this thread? I am debating on skills of Revan, which is an absolutely valid thing to do in this thread.
And Kindly spare me the hassle and reveal those stats here yourself along with external links of the sources for close inspection.

No its not, debating the powers from "virtually unknown characters" is based on established facts and feats, not on non canon stats.
The stats of the Darth Revan have been revealed by a couple of "Star Wars authors" recently. Those stats are based on Darth Revan's abilities prior to the events of KOTOR. They are not game based stats which would be regarded as non-canon and unreliable because in the game the player can define the stats in any manner as deemed fit.
So provide me a valid explanation and a quote from Leeland Chee (preferably) as to how the stats which are coming out from Star Wars books or published materials are also unreliable.

So because using stats is generally non canon and we cant use it so therefore we must ban those characters?
The stats define the capabilities of a character in a firm footing. If a character is virtually unknown, than it becomes impossible to debate on the powers and skills of such a character. We may know that the character managed to do this and that, but we cannot draw a fair comparison of powers of that character with those of well defined characters. So using the "virtually unknown characters" should be banned from debates until more becomes known about them.

Dude! I have raised a valid point above.
How can you even debate on the powers of characters which are vitually unknown?
Does it even makes sense to use such characters in vesus threads and than simply declare the more well defined characters as superior?
You need to think rationally.

Yes there is friend.A fan is a fan whereas a fanboy is incredibly biased towards his favourite character and argues with absolutely no logic and intelligence.
We do not work for George Lucas. We are all fans of Star Wars and our knowledge of things are not absolutely perfect.
We debate on Star Wars related subjects and put all options on the table. The purpose of the debates is to sort out the issues and solve the mysteries pertaining to the characters or objects involved.
So simply labelling a person a fanboy on the basis of his or her choices is foolishness. If a person wishes to debate only on Vader, than so be it. You can debate on 100 characters if you want to and bullshit about them all, that doesn't makes you any better than the person who debates on few characters.

I don't make unnecessary assumptions on Revan. I mostly put the available options on the table regarding Revan from various sources in which he has been featured and defined. So there is a difference.

Yeah malak and your favourite kotor characters, that again makes you a kotor fanboy.
And what about PT fanboys in this forum? They are more justified in their responses than me?

And then again the "force storm" required a ritual to execute the technique hence it is not of revans own power but the combined power of other force sensitives in the ritual.
I know this but it was instigated in the form or a ritual to augment its power. Several individuals joined hands to unleash the devastating technique with full fury. That doesn't means that Revan cannot churn out huge bolts of Lightning which would hit many individuals simultaneously. He knows the Force Storm! Period!

You must have never played TFU or read the book when galen beat the crap out of vader(who was able to easily restrain a jedi that tore a space station apart), topple ATAT's with relative ease, electrocute the great sarlacc with a massive wave of lightning and nearly fought with sidious on equal footing.
I know about Galen's feats. He was indeed very powerful and skilled. His powers are well defined and documented. The same is being desired for Revan, if one is draw a fair comparison and conclusion.

You must have failed to notice that galen was able to at least apply some force energy on a falling star destroyer, revan has yet to demonstrate TK anywhere even half of that level.
Only time will tell that what did Revan do in his life-time.

Revan(save for a few force feats) have done almost exactly nothing to even put himself near the levels of galen marek or even vader for that matter.
Really?
Revan has defeated some of the accomplished warriors of his time including:
1. Mandalore - The Ultimate (Who could put a Jedi on his @ss with a single blow.)
2. Yusanis (Possibly the greatest Echani duelist with exceptional precognitive capabilities.)
3. Darth Bandon (Killed many Jedi during the Jedi Civil War and was strong enough to challenge Darth Malak for the position of DLOTS.)
4. Bastilla Shan with support from Star Forge (She was more powerful than all but few Jedi Masters by this time and had the support of a Super Weapon to help her in combat situations.)
5. Darth Malak on the Star Forge (He became one of the most powerful force users of his era by that time after he managed to utilize the Star Forge for his goals.)
Apart from this; Revan defeated a large number of Battle Droids, Dark Jedi, Mandalorians, Sith Troopers, and wild beasts, even when the opponents would come in groups.
So even if we don't know much about Revan's powers, it is apparent from his victories that he was a exceptional fighter and would be a fair match for the likes of Vader and Galen.

Soooooooo?
He defeated Darth Malak on the "Star Forge" and it means something.

Uh huh? Ok.
Yeah right?

And by being undefeated does that mean that other combatants cannot beat him? Bane? Exar kun? Galen? Vader? Sidious? Luke?
Few can defeat him and I doubt that Vader is on that list.

Nobody is denying that he is an accomplished warrior, but he is not as "awesome" as you want him to be.
Contrary to your beliefs, most characters who met him consider him to be "awesome" and the list includes: Mandalore Canderous, Jedi Bastilla Shan, Ancient Sith Lord Ajusta Pall, and Jedi Master kriea. Surely, he was something to get such applause.

And the funny thing is that i accepted the fact that galen took a crap on vader, whereas you can never accept the fact that here are characters more powerful than your precious revan.
I do accept the fact that there are characters more powerful than Revan.
I want Revan's story to be completed so that the fans should know that where does he stands in the over-all context. Thankfully some Star Wars authors are trying to do that job amidst the controversies surrounding the character's gender.
