Originally posted by chilled monkeyI can't believe I missed this. He beat Vader as a Light sider sure, but beat three Jedi masters as a Dark sider.

Nope. As a Lightsider he has all of the skill and experience he had when he defeated those three, and more. Plus he has a lot more clarity of mind and heart.Heck, his Light self utterly defeated Darth Vader who is more skilled, experienced, refined and controlled than his RotS self. Not to mention he fought and beat PROXY who was using Anakin's appearance and skills, which gives him the advantage of foreknowledge.
So I'd say Lightside Galen is a lot MORE 'badass' than his Dark self and would beat Anakin.

By that logic:
Vader killed dozens of Jedi.
In my opinion, the combined might of dozens of Jedi = better than Vader.
Ergo, Vader > Vader.
Red, Galen became a Jedi towards the end of his life. Before he was a dark side user. When Vader took him as his apprentice he had already watched his father murdered and over the past 15 years was indoctrinated that the true power was the dark side. His life was shaped by violence of another creation - Vader created Starkiller, but Kota brought back Galen Marek.
I take back what I wrote earlier. I believe Galen would give Anakin of ROTS a serious battle. I agree with Elite Hunter that due to Galen's assasination training he would win an All Out fight incorporating his training during the fight. Saber wise, I believe Anakin would defeat him, but not quickly. Force . . . hmm. Galen did surprise Vader when he fought him on the DS - Galen's FL caused serious damage to Vader and he did beat him in a lightsaber fight. Galen beat Vader, but could he beat Anakin - that is an excellent question.
