Originally posted by Darth ThorI don't know about Maul, definitely dedicated to an extreme but I always felt his grasp of the dark side was incomplete and he was very much indoctrinated/brainwashed into thinking a certain way from a young age.
Barring Luke, Yoda and Sidious, I'd say Kenobi and Maul are the perfect Jedi and Sith/Darksiders respectively. Neither one would sway to the other side IMO.
Sidious basically gave him a personality, and stamped anything to the contrary, so there is potentially another/buried side to him that could be teased out. Someone like Palpatine or Bane on the other hand who considered and chose the dark side simply doesn't have that weakness.
Re: The most incorruptible..?
Coming at this from a movie perspective.

Barring Yoda(the obvious choice), who is the most incorruptible Jedi in the mythos? Which Jedi would simply never allow themselves to be influenced/tainted by any aspect of the dark side? Basically, who is the most good?

Same coin, which Sith has the greatest dark sided resolve? Which Sith would never allow themselves to be swayed/conflicted/redeemed by the light? Basically, who is the most evil?

For Sith I think it would honestly be Nihilus. Given his relationship with the Dark Side (a slave to the hunger it gives him), redemption should be effectively impossible for him. He has no human connections or feelings that could persuade him toward the Light.
Originally posted by AstnerNihilus was still a dark side user/Sith Lord, though(which is what my OP asks.) Him being described as a wound in the force or whathaveyou isn't much different than Dooku describing Palpatine as "a black hole of the force", imo.
Nihilius wasn't a regular Force user though, he was a Force wound.
Honestly, agreed somewhat. Considering that outside of Nathema actual voids in the force aren't a thing, Nihilus and Meetra's status as "wounds" is probably a lot less complicated than KOTOR II seems to make it out to be. As is the case with most of the things that came out of KOTOR II. 😕
That being said, despite the fact that he's more of a mindless monster than a conscious evildoer, I agree that Nihilus is arguably the least capable of returning to the light side of the Force. And I like your description of Maul's relationship with the Dark Side, tbh Beni.
Yes, it is. Dooku was being metaphorical when describing Sidious as a black hole, his intentions being to capture the extent of his darkness.
When Nihilus is described as a wound, it is a literal reference to his nature as a dead spot in the Force, where the Living Force does not exist.
Sidious doesn't possess any of Nihilus' unique characteristics to suggest they are even remotely similar.

I'm honestly wondering if this is something that might be explored in future content, with Maul masterless, motherless and purposeless.

Originally posted by BeniboyblingI never suggested that Palpatine and Nihilus were similar characters. At all.

Originally posted by chilled monkeyYes. And describing a character's position in the force "with exhilarating precision" =/= simple hyperbole, imo. That is literally(not figuratively) how Dooku perceived Palpatine. 🙂
Are you not familiar with the concept of hyperbole?
