Revan's Lightsaber Abilities Overview [Discussion Thread]

The quote directly states it's apart of the "Old Republic timeline."
Either you A.) Contact Starwars.com or B.) Concede to my superiority.

*double standards and bias intensify*

Spoiler:
Still love you though (at times)

See my edit.

The Old Republic era in terms of the "the core game and... novels and comics", not the BBY timeline.

I bet you'd never call Neph "papa bear" though Ant...

A prequel that took place 300 years before TOR. Prequels don't have to be set in the same era as their linked source. I'd think a Star Wars fan would know that.

Honestly, I don't think that fight reeeeeally counts.

I mean come on, you might hate these arguments, but he was on a Nexus, his personal Nexus. Had time to charge an attack that would stop Revan from even making it to him due to his guard, which was his style. Revan had been out of combat for close to 4 years, and yet survived long enough for them to actually kill him.

And yes they would have killed him without Scourges interruption, but Vitiate would have survived as an Essence.

I told you NOT to send that to anyone... apparently you sent it to everyone on DMBE. 😠 😮

You are aware that Kotor stands for "Knights of the Old Republic", right? As in, Knights who were part of the Old Republic era?

As I said, Vitiate was alive and he and his Sith were specifically referred to in the games. He counts.

I'm sorry, but I was drinking lemonade and I spit it all over my computer screen in laughter when I read this. Ugh, everything is now sticky.

Mr. Avellone said he was referring to Naga Sadow and his Empire, actually.

None of his Sith even came close. Nyriss was the Titan of the council and got executed by him, even in a dark rage on a nexus. What a pleb.

Vitiate on the other hand would probably be a decent fight, had it been off Nexus with no prep. Not prime vitiate, but Revan:Vitiate was kinda meh.

There was no "personal nexus", and Revan also had prep and knowledge of Vitiate's abilities on his side. It totally counts. Revan himself says that he couldn't last long against Vitiate and he didn't.

No, they probably would have lost. Revan was injured and Meetra and Scourge were fodder.

Good thread.

I still rate Surik higher given how focused she was on Bladework. But very impressive, I hadn't properly drawn together the Hord feats, nice job.

Huh, bladework? because she defeated Kreia or did i miss something? I'd put Meetra above Revan because of her wound ability.

1.) Trying to pass off Revan hungering for knowledge as him wanting to learn more lightsaber techniques seems pretty fallacious to me.

Yeah a bit, that quote is open to interpretation, but it is kinda true.

2.) Revan didn't keep Tulak Hord's holocron, he gave it to the Academy and was never confirmed to have taken it back.

Yeah, agreed. Also ant, we don't know if Uthar kept the Holocron on his person or if Revan searched his quarters for the Holocron. that really is just speculation.

So here's my critique:

1 - "He knows Shii-Cho, Makashi and Soresu because he trained with Kreia."
By that logic Both Sion and Nihilius know of Shii-Cho, Makashi and Soresu. what are you basing this on if i may ask? because Meetra only learned of them because she already knew them.

2 - Revan didn't defeat Calo Nord alone, he had his allies to assist him and we do not know who those allies were.

3 - Revan didn't drive the Sith away single-handedly, his allies waited for him in the Temple and assisted him when he returned and, several quotes state that many sith remained on Korriban after Revan left the planet and they turned on one another. Kreia, Sion and if we count N-canon, even Bastile states this. Also keep in mind that several texts from PoD say that the stories of the ancient sith were glorified.

Aside from that stuff, the thread is alright. Nice work.

Mother, forgive him. He doesn't understand like we do.

Meetra was fodder to Nyriss, for whatever reason. Vitiate could have killed her by twitching aggressively at her.

It's a dark side Nexus, thus its a nexus for Vitiate.

And they would have won, Vitiate could barely handle Revan and T3, those 3 would slaughterfest...

@Neph You're about to have a women's wrath on you, bruh. Better run (I heard she's fast).
I'll be sitting back enjoying myself though... I still remember last time she gave you a royal spanking.

I think "Revan knows Forms 1-3 because Drew said he had some skill in all forms" is a bit more solid reasoning than "Revan knew forms 1-3 because Traya was his master."

That's why I included both.
