Swtor's rank and file is the best of any era and they have over a dozen times as much of them as other eras. And there elite is overall superior to the PT's as well.
Also the OP said "Which era in Star Wars history had the all around more powerful Jedi and Sith?" This is an easily misconstrued statement that fits closer to how the thread originally perceived it.

Even if that were true, SWTOR is still encumbered by sheer numbers of mediocre Sith and Jedi.

For what it's worth {I'm sure very little to you and your position}, the guy who wrote the OP confirmed my interpretation of its words a few pages back.
If its quantity then obviously its swtor. It spanned hundreds of years and and far more force users than any other.
If its quality id say Lukes era in general. Lukes era to me covers everything from ANH to Crucible, so about 45 years. If i broke it down to pre njo, njo, fotj type eras there would only be 5-10 years per era and a very small well to draw from compared to the decades and centuries of other eras.
So in Lukes era there was
Luke
Palpatine
Vader
Caedus
Kryat
Abeloth
Gethzerion
Lumiya
Mara
Lomo plo
Lord nyax
Cboath
Unu thul
Lukes masters council (corran, saba, kyle, kyp,)
Jaina
Id take the top 5-10 from there over probably any other era.

Well 2 million plus is easily over a dozen times bigger than 10,000. Right?

You mean empowered by a greater level of mediocrity compared to other era's. I mean.... in that swtors mediocre > other era's versions of mediocrity.

Yes I can read, thanks.

The encyclopedia puts SWTOR rank-and-file ahead of those from any other era before or after?

Yet another unexpected development.

That we know of. The PT Jedi were, as you know, largely made up of poor fighters and their combat abilities had waned. The post-movies Jedi and Sith were getting by on the scraps from the PT. The Bane-era was pretty bad. For the Sith at least and thus likely for the Jedi as well. And the Swtor guys were suped-up versions of the previous peaks of their orders.

This looks more like equivocation and less like proof. Do you have something concrete to provide in this respect?

A most curious interpretation of "heyday, the golden age of the Jedi." Your English must differ wildly from mine.

So. Neph.
When you say the bane line was pretty bad, do you mean Plagueis and Sidious or Zannah and Bane? They're the most detailed ones, and obviously you think one of those sets is bad...

I don't require a direct statement of which is better to make an informed comparison based upon the evidence.
We know the PT Jedi had moved away from a lot of combat and lightsaber dueling related techniques. My statement is supported by the evidence.

The very few ancient sith we DO know about (Hord, Ragnos) were powerhouses superior to the Bane line. But we don't know about anyone in between. And my wife would never say the word "sheev".

You say "no" very inefficiently.

Superior to all the Bane line or just some?
