Most Studied Force Users?

Throw in some random names, make a top ten list, it's up to you. Just wanted to get the ball rolling on a discussion regarding the most studied and learned of Force users. Preferably, the criteria would be based on the number of knowledge sources that we know them to have acquired, but you can resort to the amount of Force techniques they're shown to know (and the rarity/difficulty of them) as well.

Odan Urr, Exar Kun, Palpatine, Yoda. A lot of the Ancients and maybe Jerec and Traya too?

Vitiate and Hego as well

1. Valkorion
2. Palpatine | Yoda
3. Revan
4. Darth Thanaton
5. Luke Skywalker
6. Darth Plagueis
7. Jacen Solo
8. Odan-Urr | Talzin | Vergere
9. Exar Kun | Freedon Nadd
10. Karness Muur | Naga Sadow | Thon | Arca Jeth | Kreia | Yaddle | Saraasu Talon | Darth Krayt

Lol at Jacen having more knowledge than Kun and Nadd

I'll later give reasons, and may change the list.

1./2. Darth Sidious/Luke Skywalker
3. Valkorion
4. Darth Caedus
5. Darth Plagueis
6./7./8. Vergere/Revan/Yoda
9./10. Exar Kun/Traya

Dark side cults and prophets would no doubt have an abundance of knowledge too

Cronal/Nadd/Tenebrous/Wyyrlok III/Krayt could also very well be in the list.

Luke, Sidious, Jacen, Plagueis, Revan, Vitiate/Valkorian, Yoda, Talzin, the other two spots probably go to the Ancients or someone like Traya/Vergere.

In terms of abundance and opportunity to study? Have to have Vitiate/Valky at #1. Also have to include Nadd and Ragnos as they had around a century and a plethora of knowledge. You can include Palpatine as well in the top 5.

Sheev.

Studied the Force in all its guises throughout the Galaxy, plundered the greatest lore from over a million worlds, etc.

Do you imply, that Nadd and Ragnos are more knowlegable than Palpatine?

I'm implying that had access to more, absolutely. I'm not stating they knew more because Palpatine studied the force 24/7.

Palpatine gathered the greatest works of Force knowledge from "over a million worlds" across the galaxy. That's exponentially more worlds than just what comprised the ancient Sith empire.

Vader should be mentioned as well. He's pretty underrated as far as knowledge goes.

Wouldn't we consider this hyperbole since I don't recall the GE even had control of that many, or even that many different force groups in the galaxy. And even if we were to take that quote seriously, Palpatine didn't have lifetimes to study all of that.
