Do the Tribe outnumber the Jedi?

Depends: This Lord Gaalen was stated to be at Kyp/Katarn level.

And he isn't even a High Lord (or is he? I forgot)

This doesn't make sense.

star wars is so lame now

I thought he was the high lord actually.

I am the High Lord. Geez, it's like you didn't even get the memo.

He was Kyp's & Kyle's equal as a swordsmaster - nothing was mentioned how strong he was in the Force. He (Gaalan) has no combat experience fighting a drawn out war against a vicious enemy like the YV.

actually he was able to stymie luke's tk. i'm guessing the tribe is nothing to sneeze at. the lignon crystals enhance their abilities.

Remember that Luke had to work against the shuttle moving upwards.

no question. I'm pointing out however, these Sith aren't chumps.

I disagree - everytime they've fought Luke, Ben and now Dyon (who isn't even a Jedi) they've suffered heavy losses. That stupid High Lord Gaalan wasn't even close to defeated Luke in a lightsaber contest. If he didn't hop on the shuttle, he would have been KIA like the other two Saber's. Rememer, there was more than three Sith and it is possible they were aiding him to lift the shuttle.

Galaan was stated to be at the level of Kyp or Kyle.

Ria was stated to be the level of a Jedi Master,

Vestera was stated to be the level of a Jedi Knight.

That makes them not-chumps.

These Sith are not chumps, but no where near the level of power that Revan, Bane, Vader much less Sidious wielded. And Jedi fought all 4 of those Sith. It is possible that they (Tribe) did not know of the Force abilities like Force Storm. We have to take into account that these are not Old Republic Jedi, but post - YV and Second Galactic Civil War ones.

What does force storm have to do with anything?

And what do you know of the power wielded by Revan?

And what are you saying, exactly? A planet of sith at the master/knight level is much more dangerous than one or 2 high level Sith.

Bane was clearly wrong about the rule of 2.

In what respect?

About it being the way to make the Sith Order the Strongest. I'll take a planet full of Sith over 2 people hiding in the shadows anytime. 2 Sith are too easily killed. Heck, it almost got wiped out during Bane's own lifetime. He should have rethought his theory right then.

In reasonable terms, yes. But within Star Wars, Bane's Rule has achieved the most for the Sith (as an ideology).

That's only because they went thousands of years without trying the other way.

What did bane's rule achieve for them? 20 years at the top? After 4000 of near extinction? No thanks. Besides, I haven't read the comics, but hasn't Krayt been at the top nearly that long too? without the rule of 2?

Krayt got killed by a rival Sith. The irony of him bastardising the rule of 2 is heavy indeed.
