Marka Ragnos vs. Darth Bandon

Ok, NOW you're just being a contrarian.

"Has Ragnos even proved that he can Force push a technician into a console?"

Well, he beat the living crap out of Simus in a fair fight and by all accounts weathered several challenges to his rule from his fellow Sith (this in an era where Sith Magic and the like were still very common, mind ye).

"No? Then what's to stop Bandon from doing that?"

Oh, I don't doubt Bandon can PROBABLY do that if he gets lucky. The question is if it will DO anything.

Remember, this is a guy who nearly brought down the New Republic a few millenia after he DIED. we have seen absolutely nothing from Bandon to believe he is anywhere near that caliber.

the most powerful lord of the sith in history was Darth Bandon. His apprentice, who hid for millenia within the Jedi order themselves was Plo Koon.

Submit or be frozen within a creek.

Yep, no question about it. You are DEFINITIVELY just being a contrarian now.

"so was this before, or after, the time period's best non-assisted showing: throwing a brick?"

Most likely before.

"the most powerful lord of the sith in history was Darth Bandon."

....as shown by his loosing in a 3v3 fight against Revan, ja? And if he was the most powerful Sith Lord in history, why was it Sidious and not he who conquered the Galaxy?

"His apprentice, who hid for millenia within the Jedi order themselves was Plo Koon."

Contradicted by virtually every material dealing with Plo Koon.

"Submit or be frozen within a creek."

Just. TRY.

For example, it is canon fact that Palpatine once went to Korriban and "DEMANDED" that the Sith Lords teach him a secret of immortality, they smacked him down and would have likely destroyed him utterly had his body guard driven them off long enough to get the **** out of there.

wtf

Use your head here: a group of ancient Sith managed to cow Palpatine as per the Emperor's Pawns. The amount of those Sith or the details of the conflict were never given. Furthermore, if Palpatine's bodyguard (Jeng Droga) was able to drive them off, that's very telling on what Palpatine himself may have been able to do, since Droga is nowhere near Palpatine's level.

Your argument is silly; a group of clones were shown to be able to kill and defeat Jedi in Revenge of the Sith, but that doesn't mean that they are individually superior to the Jedi.

The irony on this statement isn't lost on me.

Ragnos would uber-pwn Bandon in 5 seconds flat.

Hardly.

Correct. Ragnos will pwn Bandon hard. 😮

Hardly.

It took the heart of the force and two companions to beat Bandon, and he is secretly still alive. Bandon stomps this "sith lord" and shows him who is "the most powerful of the most powerful".

Contrarian sounds like an alien race.

"We tried that already, but you know what the Contrarians' idea of "diplomacy" is when they catch unwelcomed ships in their territory."
