Regarding Bane... 'Galen FTW'? C'mon, even without the Orbalisks I'd consider Bane a very difficult task for Marek. He could win, but definitely a close one.

1. Beating Anakin won't be particularly difficult- Anakin will ruin his shit in close-quarters combat, but Anakin's force aptitude is very, very lacking in comparison to Starkiller.

2. In RoT, much of Bane's style composed of the utilization of the orbalisks to their full extent; I doubt he'll suddenly be able to fight normally again after losing them. Without 'em, he also lacks much of his potency, so I'm pretty certain Starkiller will beat him down.

Another impressive thing he did was destroy an AT-AT with force lightning. that was something not often seen.

Just to say it: being the Imperial era would mean there's like... 5 people who practice Force Lightning. So, we wouldn't see many AT-AT pwnings by Lightning.

you make a fair point with that one. Seemed impressive just the same.

the most impressive thing, in my opinion that marek did was pull down a space elevator with the force. Not the star destroyer thing.

The other thing that IMO, gives him a high level is his powering of the cruiser ship on the garbage world, using only the force, as well as his force blast that killed hundreds of droids. I would put all three of those above moving the star destroyer.

Holy Goat Penis. I forgot about most of those. Yeah, Marek's a friggin' beast.

Edit: Truejedi, it was impressive. And so was imploding Maris's rancor's brain.

I've never heard of any of them.

And Gideon, your state sucks for voting McCain.

You've never heard of any of what?

And, hello, Faunus, welcome to the southern states of America. Anything below the Mason-Dixon line is going to be not just pro-McCain, but pro-Anyone-Who-Isn't-Obama.

Space elevator? Powering a ship?

Texas vote for McCain also. What this election proved is that liberals were so anxious to get rid of the Bush Administration, they would take anybody with a pulse. But I suppose taking Hussein is the epitome of irony.

Ugh...

It's ok I'm not making this into a political debate. Most pseudo intellectuals are liberal so I don't want to bring this to a star wars forum.

Uh-huh. You're very subtle.

As a trainwreck.

I wouldn't give him that much credit.

It wasn't my intention to be subtle, but lovely sarcasm.

Well for what it's worth, I still don't consider Marek to be nearly as powerful as everyone is making him out to be.

So he redirected a falling Star Destroyer. It's not nearly the most impressive feat we've ever seen. Tipping a falling object takes FAR less effort than lifting it, for instance. Nihilus freakin lifted the Ravager (which isn't quite as big, I know, but the fact that he pulled up rather than redirect takes FAR more energy). I'd say that beats Marek's feat pretty handily. Revan was called the most powerful of his age and the descriptions given to him pretty heavily outweigh the praise Nihilus gets, so he's probably stronger than Marek too. Exar Kun's spirit was able to strait up take down post-DE Luke. The actual man should have been at least as powerful, and I would definately give a fight between DE Luke (or Jedi Academy, really) and Marek to Luke. But, whatever, that's just my thoughts on it.

Uh, Glentract? Exar's spirit relied on trapping, surprising and double teaming Luke along with Luke's best student. If Kun tried to appear to Luke and actually fight him, his spirit would have suffered badly for it.

Trust me. It was warranted

I don't think Kyp really made a difference. Mostly, Luke just was unable to defend against that particular technique (what was it's name?) Exar used on him.

Luke was distracted by trying not to harm Kyp. Kyp unleashes a blast of the technique, catching Luke...then Kun joins in from the back.

Luke shouldn't have been even phased by anything Kyp could throw at that point. I'd say it was mostly Exar.

Kyp empowered by Exar would phase DE-era Luke.
