Besides, we presume that malak is draining jedi to replace lost stamina. If im not wrong, dooku himself was drawing evergy on the force itself to replace lost stamina in his duel with anakin skywalker. I think this is from the ROTS novel.

Interesting phrase. But no, you're not wrong. Dooku does indeed replenish himself through the Force in the ROTS novel.

Originally posted by Slash_KMC I think everyone is aware that Revan can use the Force. But do we know that he only uses the Force? Obi-Wan also primarily uses the Force and a lightsaber, but how did he defeat Grievous?

It depends upon the circumstances. Obi-wan had to save himself from a fall and used a nearby lying blaster to kill Grievous. He got lucky in a sense, if I am not wrong.

Regarding Revan: He also fought against some powerful non-Jedi foes.

Revan defeated Mandalore - The Ultimate in what has been termed as hand-to-hand combat (A fair contest?). And this was the guy who could knock out a Jedi without much difficulty.

Against Yusanis - It was pointed out in his description in KoTOR that in spite of his own great fighting capabilities, he fell to the powers of Darth Revan.

For Revan's final duel, see below.

This is not the first time you tell me to ask the creators for more facts. As long as they haven't given the information, it doesn't exist.

Most characters from the comics and games are well developed. Galen Marek has a novel supporting the Force Unleashed in which a lot more details are given than anything that supports Revan's battles.


I understand. However, the tid bits we know regarding Revan's duels do not suggest that he was stretched to his limits or he won through sheer luck. So we have to work with what we have got as of yet.

We do not know the full details, we do not know any details. The draining of the Jedi is not a detail nor is the outcome of the battle.

He used captive Jedi to help fuel his power within the heart of the Star Forge. (Star Forge Databank)

Shadows and Light reveals Revan standing near fallen Malak with his Lightsaber ignited. This indicates that Revan had a Lightsaber duel with Malak and managed to land a killer blow.

Yes! We do not have full details but we do know that Malak was well prepared and yet Revan defeated him.

Lets use your own logic by interpreting pictures. Did the picture show Malak decapitated? Lightsabers tend to slice things apart on contact and we didn't see malak decapitated, how do you know Revan didn't pull out a blaster or dropped a few mines during the duel along with using his lightsaber? How do you know the picture is even accurate?

How do you know that picture, which was simply a vision of that jedi even turns out to be accurate? The image shows the redeemed revan in his sith armor and mask, the TOR website shows him in a regular jedi robe during the star forge incident with a hood and without a mask. Thats a direct contradiction, and the latter seems to make much more sense than the former considering all post jedi civil war Revan pics show him in a brown jedi robe without a mask.

Revan only wore the mask in public outings. Had to look scary for the masses.

Ever heard of word "stabbing"? (For example: Darth Maul stabbed Gui-Gon to death.)

That picture is a vision of a Jedi and visions of future events can be true.

And you don't see Revan armed with a blaster or do you?

Revan could have been wearing an armor and a mask while confronting Malak. As far as the holocron is concerned, it does not contradicts with the vision of Duron because Revan is wearing a hood and an armor, as you can see here. We can't see the mask though.

Dude. If Revan killed Malak on the Star Forge with a blaster and kill Mandalore the Ultimate with a blaster, it'd make a pretty compelling case for him being able to kill Dooku with one, as well.

😐

Do you have anything that proves Revan stabbed Malak? How do you know he stabbed him? How do you know he was stabbed? How do you know he didn't hide a blaster or a grenade within his robes? Too many variables.

Future events can be true, but that doesn't mean everything is identical in the vision physically, especially when one vision shows a redeemed revan in dark side armor when external more credible sources show him in Jedi robes and different armor.

Yes it does, one image shows him in his original dark side armor, the other shows him in a jedi robe and brown armor and other images like the redeemed Revan shows him without a mask.

And why would he change into his sith armor just to fight malak? It doesn't make sense, especially when one image show him in a jedi robe/armor.

Ever heard of slicing out someone's knee cap and capping them in the heart with a blaster bolt fired from a gun you tucked back in to your robes?

Keyword: can. "Always in motion is the future."

A.) That picture has Bastila present in that fight when she was not present. It's validity is shattered with that alone. B.) Regardless of its validity, even if Bastila wasn't in it, it still shows Revan in loose-fitted free-flowing skirt. That vision of Qel-Droma's has him in a billowing cloak. So which is it? The ambiguous vision or the non-canon drawing?

@Enyalus: Mandalore the Ultimate and Malak are nowhere near the level of Dooku. If he killed them with a blaster, it really says nothing about what he could do with a blaster against Dooku.

Revan was faster than Malak. He very possibly ran circles around malak,turning around to fire every ten seconds or so, never allowing Malak (a very STUPID opponent, if I might add) to get close enough to swing his lightsaber. Dooku is NOT stupid, and has never been potrayed as stupid, so such a strategy would never work with him.

How many instant heal health packs did Revan take during his fight with Malak? I'm guessing more than a few. Since it would be really unfair to give revan instant heal health packs and not give them to dooku, Revan is going to have a heck of a time winning without them.

Mandalore was....Mandalore. And a Taung, no less. Mandalores are always a match for a Jedi, and if Revan killed him with a blaster through his lightsaber-resistant armor, exactly what makes you think Dooku would do any better? Mace had serious difficulty deflecting Jango's shots, proving that a skilled sharpshooter is a dangerous opponent...and Mace's style is much more suited to blocking blaster bolts than Dooku's is.

As for a Dark Lord of the Sith empowered directly by the Star Forge and the drainage of multiple Jedi Knights to further fuel that power being 'nowhere near the level of Dooku'....I disagree.

Also, instant heal packs? In the game, maybe. In-universe, there's no such thing. C'mon.

Thats malak on the SF, a vjun empowered dooku was powerful enough to tool a force user powerful enough to give ROTS anakin a run for his money by lifting a finger.

And we have absolutely no idea how skilled Revan is with a blaster.

lol

If Revan used a blaster to kill Malak and Mandalore, I would say we have our skill level.

You can't just go, "lulz wut if revan used a blaster instead of a lightsaber 4 hiz battels" and then, I accept your scenario, and you reply with "lol wel we dunt no his skill wit a blaster tho"

Stop it.

Stop it now.

Obviously the only incarnation of the character in question.

Ventress, Dark Rendezvous, and there's no reason to believe he couldn't do so anywhere else.

Be careful Faunus. Only defeat, embarassment, and unsubstantiated speculation waits for those who attempts to prove anything is or isn't true about Revan.

Where is it stated that mandalores are always matches for Jedi?

And why would Dooku do better than a mandalorian with no combat feats or stated abilities? Is that a real question? Did you see AOTC kenobi vs. "the most dangerous bounty hunter in the galaxy?"

Okay, i'll bite. Please prove that Malak is near Dooku's power level. Dooku was in the top 2 or 3 Jedi of the "golden age of the Jedi" He then became more powerful when he became a Sith.

He defeated Kenobi, who was able to defeat the chosen one. He laid Assajji Ventress low with a finger flick. Better than Grievous...

These are actual things he has done against substantiated opponents.
What's Malak got?

Also, instant heal packs? In the game, maybe. In-universe, there's no such thing. C'mon.

So no game mechanics? Is that what you are saying? (please please please say yes)

So name one force power that Revan knew that doesn't require a ritual and multiplie sith. From the first Bane book, we know he knew force storm and the thought bomb. These require help. Can you name one power that he DEFINITLY knew?

Choke.

It's observation, not statement. Mandalore the Indomitable did very well against Ulic, Mandalore the Ultimate was basically feared by Malak and Zayne Carrick (and lost his duel with Revan), Canderous Ordo was Mandalore and helped defeat multiple Sith, Jango Fett killed multiple Jedi with his bare hands and, aside from what you think, I thought he did fine against Obi-Wan in AOTC, and Boba went toe-to-toe with Vader and held his own, on more than one occasion. Mandalores have a history of being a match for a Jedi. Not statement. Empirical evidence.

Jango doesn't have lightsaber resistant armor unlike the Mandalore Revan beat with, apparently, a blaster? Unless your argument is that blaster > lightsaber.

Pardon? It was your assertion that the reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, empowered by a powerful dark side artifact and multiple Jedi lifeforces to feed on isn't on the level of Dooku. Perhaps you should prove that, since you said it.

I'm not understanding how any of this is relevant. Revan apparently isn't wielding a lightsaber here, according to your posit. And Ventress' Force abilities are laughable - akin to Maul's.

I'm saying if it doesn't exist in-universe, it doesn't exist. You want bacta patches? Okay. Insta-heals? No, sorry.

Considering that he was a fully trained Jedi Knight (I think the Essential Atlas calls him a Jedi Master, though?) I would assume at bare minimum the standard Force Push, Saber Throw, etc. However, why are you asking me this? It's not like you're allowing for him to actually do anything with the Force. He's gonna shoot at Dooku from about 30 meters away with his blaster, amirite?
