Revan's Raw Power Comparison

Started by Nephthys35 pages

Vitiate doesn't even exist in canon.

Plus it is not as if they overwrite the previous quotes.

The lightning was a stream. It was connected from the blade to his hand and was continuously blasting. It was not a single bolt like Vitiates was. And Sidious adds the second hand as Yoda is being disarmed. The lightning of his second hand connects before the lightsaber goes from his grip.

They were unleashed in quick succession, but were far enough apart that Revan batted one aside, ducked the second then deflected the third. So either Revan is just that fast or they were not almost simultaneous.

Almost anything from Lucas is considered G canon. Maybe not over on your forum, but here the script is taken as accurate. It explains how Sidious was disarmed at least. And in the script Yoda was deflecting Sidious' lightning with his lightsaber. And Revan wouldn't be more exhausted. Yoda is much older, had recently been knocked out and uses Ataru which is known to expend a lot of energy and fatigue practitioners swiftly. And Yoda had just had a saber battle with Darth Mofo-ing Sidious, which would obviously require Yoda to draw on a lot of energy to pull off. Revan by comparison had barely had to physically exert himself at all and his battle so far had been brief.

Isn't your own argument here against Ant that Yoda takes a while to build up his full strength? Isn't it possible it just took Yoda a second to get into the groove?

I wasn't aware it had to be proved that Vitiate's lightning is superior to Yoda's. It's hardly his strongest suit. Also I bite my thumb at that nexus argument.

Never in any sources have a read have I come across a situation in which a bolt of lightining is not continually connected to the wielder's hands.

Its the same thing, Vitiate released a three-pronged "stream" of lightning at Revan as did Yoda, attempting to make a disparity between the two is simply nitpicking. I really doubt it the stream had had an additional prong or two would it have knocked Revan's lightsaber from his grasp.

And no, as far as we can tell the whole thing is one-handed, we only see him intensify the stream with a second hand after Yoda has been disarmed and uses tutanimis.

Indeed the fact that Yoda initially catches the blast with but one-hand and later two indicates that this was the case.

Force User's can react in split-seconds, he is that fast.

But if it didn't happen in the movie its not canon, I couldn't really care less the what the "rules" of canon are here, fans don't make the rules. The script as far as I'm aware bears no canonical weight.

Yes and Revan had just enduring a powerful mental assault from the Emperor and unleashed a massive amount of energy through oneness.

And yes while that is true, this is as I said negated by Yoda's Force superiority and the fact that Sidious was not sitting on a DS nexus.

Lol Sidious.

And do that if you will, but I'm pretty sure the book itself describes as thrumming with the dark side, and the Sith Emperor would have most certainly designed his Citadel to focus DS energies.

Wow Legend you really are a nutter, I'll reply to that later but my advise is read other again and try your best to address my points.

I know, but this should stop me from considering canon information about canon characters?

I don't debate with differentiation between Legends and Canon in mind, I just consider all official data.

Then Yoda > Luke as well.

Its honest advice, I'm very much like you to review your response before I reply because it is in many parts evasive and irrelevant.

The first burst of lightning that Sidious unleashed on Yoda, was not continually connected with his hands.

Yes, I recall Emperor Vitiate unleashing 3 bolts in quick succession. Not sure if Emperor Vitiate continuously unleashed these bolts on Revan or not.

Not sure about this. Dark Temple was designed to harness the power of dark side in specific ways though.

If I am getting something wrong, you can clarify in your next response.

You do know that Legends and Canon are now two separate continuities right?

Perfect, then that means you cannot dismiss that there are two quotes naming Yoda the most powerful Jedi up to his time.

And the fact that the Ones' quote of being more powerful than any the Jedi have ever seen is higher up than Vitiate's accolades 👆

I know, but this is not my point.

My point is that if I cam discussing a canon character, I tend to consider his canon information in debates.

Legends continuity covers Canon continuity within it.

No, Disney have retconned Yoda's previous hype.

Legends continuity contradicts this.

I don't recall them saying any statements about Yoda is a derogatory way.
If you are referring to that the clones would overcome him on Kashyyk, that is nothing new.
No mere Sith/Jedi can stand against thousands of Clone Troopers with armored vehicles and ships.

Its not that. Yoda had been hyped as most powerful practitioner of light and most powerful Jedi ever in older sources. Disney retconned this with the declaration that he is stronger then most.

How does that retcon anything? It doesn't contradict anything.

I find it funny that you separate the continuities sometimes, yet pool them together other times when it suits your purposes.

The "stronger then most" was a reference to his Force power as a whole, not just limited to the Jedi Order.
People like The Son, The Daughter, The Father, Abeloth, and some of those entities from TOR are above Yoda.

Mr. Lucas promoted The Ones as most powerful Force-users of the mythos in 2011. BioWare contradicted this by promoting Sith Emperor as the most powerful Force-user of the mythos in 2012. Now, the ball is in the court of Disney. It refrained from re-promoting The Ones as most powerful Force-users ever, it just asserted that The Ones are superior to any known mortal.

Lucas>Bioware bro

The forum rules you can find here: http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f6/t441813.html , state that Lucas' word is law.

3. Anything George Lucas says about the Star Wars universe is incontestable. We kinda take that as a point of common sense.
