These work perfectly. 😬

Establishing Darth Vader's power would be pointless for an article on Star Wars Galaxies.
What's relevant is establishing his status within the empire and the galaxy at large.
And that's fine but that's not the quote I was referring to.

"Since entering the service of the Emperor, the Dark Prince is widely considered one of the powerful individuals in the galaxy."
If Vader's quote just read "mastery of the dark side," then yeah, but the "devotion to the Emperor" part makes it murky.

Why not? The line that precedes it details how imposing Vader is. That line could easily be followed up by, "that's because he's the second most powerful dude in the galaxy", which taken literally makes perfect sense. Why is this an issue, again? Who exactly is the other contender for #2...?
None.
Mace Windu
Solid Feats
Force
Slowed a landslide.
Pushed an ATET over a cliff.
Knocked down an enormous door.
Pushed back a mass of droids in a several meter radius.
Lightsaber Combat
Was driven back by a weakened Talzin.
Has implied parity with Dooku in multiple quotes.
Stated to be the second best duelist in the Order pre RotS.
Contending with pre prime Ventress for a decent length of time.
Contending with a hindered Grievous for a decent length of time.
Debatable Feats
Force
Tanked Sidious's Lightning: This is debatable because it's unclear if Mace retained his amp whilst he was being electrocuted or if his amp had faded by that point.
Lightsaber Combat
Contending With Dooku: Their engagement was too brief to gauge.

Even that quote doesn't seem to be referring to Force power, since Xizor's quote reads:"Since entering the service of the Emperor, the Dark Prince is widely considered one of the powerful individuals in the galaxy."

You can interpret it in the way you want I guess.

I don't find Sidious's technical skill to be as impressive as the rest of you and therefore I don't think it's a feat worthy of mention with the others I provided.
