What if all the people in all the eras are actually equal?
Like, let's see.
Greatest an hero
TotJ - Nomi Sunrider
TOR - Revan
RotE - Yoda
NJO/early Legacy - Luke Skywalker
Legacy - Kol Skywalker
The main bad
TotJ - Exar Kun
TOR - Valkorion
RotE - Palpatine
NJO/early legacy - Darth Caedus
Legacy - Darth Krayt
The shining star of the era
TotJ - Ulic Qel-Droma
TOR - Hero of Tython
RotE - Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader
NJO/early Legacy - Jaina Solo
Legacy - Cade Skywalker
mind blown
Personally, I don't think the eras vary as much as many do- the amount of inborn potential isn't going to change much, nor is the level of talent in lightsaber dueling (which unlike force wielding, doesn't need as much trained knowledge to get tops in), and etc..
Not quite equal, but not as huge gaps as many assume.
Originally posted by NephthysRevan saved the republic from a threat equalling Valkorion.
The Hero of Tython is a superior an hero than Revan, in terms of TOR. Revan's literally the biggest **** up in SW history.Even 'Thor > Revan.
If the Star Forge continued, it would have quickly destroyed the republic.
He was able to stave off Vitiate for 300 years, giving them ample time to prepare for him.
Which they did, attributed by the Hero of Tython.
The Star Forge was only a factor because Revan found it and used it against the Republic. Malak was only a threat because Revan pushed him into the dark side. Vitiate's Sith Empire was only a threat because Revan's war had weakened the Republic enough and depleted the Jedi enough that they couldn't have possibly beaten it. They wouldn't have needed 300 years if he hadn't ****ed up.
Valkorion is only a threat because Revan revived him.

My HoT was never that stupid. I killed his ass first chance I got.Tol Braga was a twit, yeah. But his **** ups weren't on the same level as Revans.
He was planning to help Vitiate eat the galaxy. On purpose. Yeah, he ****ed up big.
Originally posted by FreshestSliceActually, at some point they broke free from his control, but they were already so dark-sided up that they just said "**** it", and continue down their dark path. Don't think Vitiate had anything to do with the Star Forge, if he wanted it so badly, he could have gotten it himself, and still used Revan and Malak as the puppets, no one would know it was him.
Revan and Malak attacked the Republic because Vitiate made them, and they only went after the Star Forge because Vitiate made them. If it wasn't those two, it would have been two others.
