You're acting like there's actually an Anakin Brigade.

I didn't think this had to actually be explained, but sure, I'll do it.Everyone you will debate on these boards already have a pretty locked down opinion on how Star Wars goes and who beats who. You're not going to change Nephthys' opinion that the Hero of Tython isn't better than Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're not going to make FreshestSlice believe that Darth Vader is weaker than Darth Bane. No matter what argument you can bring forward, it won't work. And the reason isn't that they are simply ignorant and won't change their views. It's that the arguments you are bringing forward has already been brought to them before, dozens and dozens of times. We've all seen the quotes that puts Palpatine as the most powerful Sith Lord in history. We've all seen the statements declaring Skywalker as potentially the greatest Jedi of all time. We've seen it across countless debates and we've all formed a 101 reasons why it means nothing and its supporters have made 101 reasons why it should be perceived as law. You aren't bringing anything new to the table, just following in the footsteps of all those who came before you. Your arguments aren't special. They aren't unique. They've been used many times and honestly, in most instances, with far greater logic than what you're doing. It's the reason why as you go across the forums preaching why Luke Skywalker is so great, no one is really caring. We've all seen it before. We've all heard the praise and also the reasons why he stinks. It's the reason why this forum is dying: every debate that could have happened has already happened. You're late to the party and trying to argue stuff that everyone already has battled over for months and years. No one really cares anymore. Unless you actually bring something new to the table, no one's going to listen. And when you bring something old and then act as if you are the discoverer of this grand new idea, expect for members to laugh at you for it, like we all are here.
Revan wins. 👆
Such cancer.
Even despite that, reflecting on the darkest of days, I can go to sleep at night knowing that while I have since been cured of my disease and have seen the light, Beni has not.
Beni was born with a tumor. A relatively large one. It grows and grows and now - especially now - you see the effects.
For other members, they may reveal their symptoms every so often. But with Beni, there is literally no escape. Every debate. Every post. Every thought.
Cancer. Cancer. Cancer.
Before, the cancer was just a state of mind. But it has intensified to such a point that it has manifested itself into a physical reality.
So, I sleep knowing that one day he will die - betrayed by the very own building blocks that make him up.
And it will be beautiful.
🤣

NewGuy, Ant and myself, I'm certain we'll grow in time.
You guys do realize that Anakin and Vader are the same person right? I know some pure OT Vader fans try to ignore that, but it's true.
So I don't really get having an "Anakin" brigade, saying Anakin's >>> Vader! Or vice versa.

Because there are those who don't see the greatness of Anakin and why Vader still never gained the power he had before.
Considering Vader's just his older self and actually got superior feats (aside from Mortis), I'm not sure why some of you guys are trying to pit the same guy against himself. They're "both" >>> Maul and Dooku, but still below Yoda and Palpatine (for the most part).

I don't know about Ant, but that's the angle I'm hitting it from. That said, they're very different combatants, so obviously they can't be looked at as if Anakin streamlines into being Vader; there's a pretty important de-limbing and roasting that happens somewhere in the mix.

On another note, what was Ellimist banned for? I'm assuming it was creating an excessive amount of threads lol.
Is this really serious? Both the thread and the responses. I honestly can't tell anymore. I thought the Anakin stuff was some big elaborate joke but it seems like it's gone on too long for that to be the case.
Like, I mean, honestly, Darth Sidious vs Anakin? Are we honestly debating this? Don't you guys think this is a tad bit ridiculous?

Well it is "Sabers only".
And Mace beat him didn't he? So it is possible in a Saber only scenario, especially given Anakin's like a pretty dope Jedi. Like easily the 3rd most powerful. Possibly 2nd.
Plus there's always One Off's like Anakin dominating The Son and Daughter... So let's not pretend it's not at all possible.
