If you could have a character for a war

Rank the characters that would be the most useful for a conventional galactic war, handwaving the issue of loyalty/public relations.

Thrawn and Revan come to mind for strategy.

It might be DE Sidious.

Bastila Shan, Thrawn, Ackbar, Revan, and Palpatine all come to mind.

Revan because of his tactical ability / fighting ability, Thrawn for his tactical ability, Ahsoka (because **** you) to set up intelligence and networking infrastructure, Anakin because of his fighting ability / piloting ability, Palpatine because duh, Bastila because of Battle Meditation, etc.

Darth Bane for cannon fodder soldiers to die on the frontlines

Revan and Galen.

No particular order, except that Palpatine and Luke are probably at the top:

Palpatine
Luke
Nihilus
Vitiate
Plagueis
Revan
Yoda

Sidious

Assuming that all the sides of the conflict have equal numbers and resources:

Thrawn
Darth Sidious
Revan
Darth Traya
Bastila Shan
Ackbar
Satele Shan

Well, Thrawn, Revan, and Ackbar would serve as commanders.

Bastila would win any engagement she participates in.

Kreia and Satele are absolutely useless in a large-scale conflict.

Palpatine can probably solo any empire with his Force storms.

Picking Bastila for BM when there's Yoda is pretty kekworthy.

Well, you can use Bastila for other things, tho.

Maul for creating an army in a short amount of time.

Obviously not a Sith as I'd rather not be guilty of various war crimes.

I'd pick Yoda or Luke since they're the best, on-paper, but they aren't men for conflicts and would play mostly passively.

So Anakin. Close enough to them in raw power, and much more ready to be a battlefield commander. Besides just him, there's Force users like Nihilus or Sidious, but they're Sith and... not going that route.

As for non-Force sensitives, Thrawn, Ackbar and General Grievous are pretty good picks.

Dread Masters.

Sidious is above the Dread Masters in every meaningful way. But the answer might even be Anakin given his eventual potential.

Empirically we'd say Luke, given that he wins like everything.

Some random guy on a remote planet in the Deep Core so I don't have to be a retard fighting in a war
