The greatest failures among SW characters

Top 1, top 3, top 5, random mentions, whatever. You decide what "failure" is. Persons who were failures for their rank? Persons who failed in everything they did? Persons who accomplished incredible things that turned to be pointless and failure too? Great guys whose campaigns turned out to be other failures?

Here are my top 10 epic failures in SW.

1. Darth Tenebrous - this list can't exist without him. If someone is the definition of a failure, it's Tenebrous. His greatest accomplishment, the manipulation of maxi-chlorians, turned out to be a useless failure that damned him for eternity. His supposedly magnificent Force Sense demonstrated itself as nothing but a failure. His passion for lightsaber dueling and knowing everything about what Plagueis was taught didn't allow him to prepare Venamis to beat him despite Venamis being comparable physically. Supposedly inhumanly intelligent, he was retarded enough to go from slurring at Plagueis to admiring him and slurring again within just three pages.

2. Revan - while Tenebrous is not much of a serious character, and more like an utter failure that's hard to be taken seriously, Revan's "failure" is more tragic and dramatic. Despite being incredible in everything, he failed at everything in life. He saved the Republic from the Mandalorians, only to fall to Vitiate and start destroying the Republic. Trying to find Vitiate, he got captured and all his power couldn't help him in that situation. Trying to assassinate Vitiate, he got imprisoned for 300 years. Foundry was a failure. Then he even helped Vitiate.

3. Darth Maul - definitely not a failure as a person. Maul is the guy who pushed forward forever, never stopped, despite all the shit that happened to him. He and Revan both suffered no mental hindrances (except retarded SOR Revan) and were as strong as person can be, but their lifes turned out to be failures. Got abandoned by his master, got beaten up by him when he did his best to return to power just because his master found a new student. Had his brother killed by a being none bar Yoda could fight. Had his mother killed after a great plan for revenge. Became a hopeless exile trying to murder Vader, but failed there too.

4. Yoda - he spent his entire lifespan when the Rule of Two grew. The Order was basically his for few hundred years, and during these hundreds of years, the Sith created the perfect plan to destroy his Order, and he could do nothing about it.

5. Count Dooku - cuck. What happened to him in the end turned out to prove Dooku as the ultimate cuck.

6. Anakin Skywalker - mental wreck and an idiot who deserved all of his tragic fate. In RotJ, I always thought Vader was the tragic guy who got lured to the Dark Side. He wasn't, he didn't fall into some grand manipulation. He was played like a dumb child and deserved all he got.

7. Darth Zannah - fight in the stone prison is enough to deem her the true failure.

8. Darth Wyyrlok III - he thought he killed his master and gained power, but the killed guy returned and humiliated him. He couldn't gather the support of any truly meaningful Sith. He was a total failure.

9. Agen Kolar - thought to be one of the greatest swordsmen and him+Windu > any Sith Lord they would face. Died in one strike, never mentioned again.

10. Rahm Kota - the guy's story is getting his ass kicked. Getting his ass kicked by Galen, falling into algohul, getting destroyed by Vader, getting destroyed by Palpatine, then preventing Galen from killing the damned Emperor, having Galen killed, running away helplessly, getting tired to death in the arena, getting his ass kicked by Boba Fett.

Anakin is the biggest failure ever, just an absolute dickhead.
Yoda is really up there, just an arrogant little piece of shit.
Maul is far from a failure tho

Yeah, Maul is one of the most incredible characters in terms of willpower. Just his live and all he touched were failures.

And Agen wasn't a failure lol. Getting killed by Sidious is hardly something to hold against him. Had Sheev gone straight at Fisto, he too would be dead in one shot

Folks getting roasted in this thread.

To be fair Maul was always chasing impossible goals. Attempting to defeat Sidious with a nightmother is bold and he did pretty well in capturing Grievous and Dooku. His lapses in combat are embarrassing but that's Filoni's fault and can hardly be attributed to failure on the grand scale.

Your list is cancer, as as Bane isn't included here 🙂

Yeah Maul has had some legit successes, but ultimately ended in failure due to powers beyond his control. As far as personal failings go he has few.

Kyp Durron.

No Jacen?

Revan and Maul. Barts list is pretty spot on.

Yeah, so sad it is. He never had a gf, or?

@Ching No Jacen. Maybe Exar, tho.

Exar was not. He didn't have enough time, simple as that.

He was unlucky. As was Maul/Dooku/etc. And he missed Ulic. Lol.

How dare you speak his name, Ulic is a legend.

Ulic is awesome, but Exar couldn't hold him as friend, lol.

Coz Exar is a prick.

Yeah. Exar is a cool loser 🙂
