We're not arguing his justification for doing so though. The idea that its better to sacrifice the Sith Empire for the rest of the galaxy is....sound if not a little utilitarian. But his actions still indicate he has some strong DS influence. Although it is strange that he's supported by the Jedi Council. Its possible they intended to use it as a last ditch effort if HoT failed.

True, and I don't mean to justify a genocide. He didn't talk like a dark sider in the foundry though. He seemed like Anakin to me but much wiser of course.
Anakin was basically a darksider in all but name. He was force choking prisoners and generally being a violent sociopath even before RotS. Revan was in a very dark place in TOR, at the least on the knife-edge between Jedi and Sith. Very reminiscent of his evil actions in the Mando War before he fully fell.

While you are right about Revan, I don't fully agree about Anakin. He wasn't a darksider in all at least. There were a lot of times where Anakin showed compassion, mercy and maturity. Especially in TCW series. There was conflict in him and with each movie, the darker side became stronger. He wasnt in darkness from the beginning though.
Because he took on the second greatest lightsaber duelist of all time and defeated him. (yeah yeah circumstances I know)
Beyond that Windu is routinely put on the highest possible level as a lightsaber duelist and by comparison Revan has nowhere near the feats or hype to contend.
Revan takes Force powers but I don't believe it's as solidly as Windu takes lightsaber combat.
Originally posted by AncientPowernowhere near the feats? Are you sure we're talking about the same character here? Off of the top of my head I can recall revan solidly beating malak (one of the greatest duelists of their era), running a train on the hundreds of sith and robots on the star forge (keep in mind how easily these sith slaughtered the jedi strike team that was sent to assist you), defeating a sith apprentice when he only had the training of a soldier, beating one of the toughest bounty hunters in the galaxy (twice), killing terentareks (keep in mind how they killed the previous jedi masters that were sent to kill them), casually defeating sith assassins that were sent for him and bastila shan, relearning the ways of the force in record breaking time, casually murdering a dark counsel member that was stomping on the exile and Lord scourge at the same time, killing Vitiate's bodyguards, having a force duel with an amped Vitiate (who's widely considered to be the second most powerful sith lord in all of SW), and beating an amped malak for a second time without any of the knowledge that he had when he was a sith and outright stated by malak to have grown even more powerful. Yeah, I'll go ahead and say that he does have the feats to contend with windu.
