yeah, it was released in a time period were very few dark siders existed in legends continuity, lmao.

zekk kinda got there by default, tbh.

IIRC, quite a few existed. That being said, they don't really seem to ranked by strenght.
Or else Zekk > Gethzerion and Sedriss ,and possibly even above Sadow, Kressh and Ragnos.

Edit: Not sure if the TotJ Comics were released prior.

very few were actually explored and most of, if not all, of them listed were dark siders luke and co. encountered personally, or had mutual ties with.

Obviously.
Can we just agree that the writer of the article is a retard, for placing Zekk, Hethir, Trainee Lumiya etc. above Gethzerion (if it goes power-wise), and Wollf a [nice word] for using it?

and y in the fuck did they list reborn palpatine and the emperor as two separate entities?

.

Maybe bcz one is Palpatine and one is Tempest?
Or bcz the author was to dumb to include 12 chars.

I have no clue how Ulic or Naga Sadow had mutual ties with Luke, lmao.

Regardless, despite the fact that very few Dark Siders existed, among them were Ragnos, Kressh, Exar, Ulic, Joruus C'baoth, Jorus C'baoth and the likes -- all of whom were well-documented at the time of 1998(I think that's when this is published).
Zekk being ranked among this echelon of Force users is damn impressive.

I have no clue how Ulic or Naga Sadow had mutual ties with Luke, lmao.

keyword here being "almost". And Ulic had ties with Kun, who was listed as Luke's most deadly enemy per his own admission. So, mutual.

Yes, you basically listed all of then known at that time period - Zekk was listed because, besides him, who else would/could be listed?

all of whom were well-documented at the time of 1998

Not really. Very little was known of Ragnos during that time period, tbh. And it was 96, actually - so damn archaic it listed Palpatine twice. 😂

Now tell me Sadow's connection to Luke, please. Regardless, the entire article was about the twelve embodiments of the Dark Side within the SW mythos[period], not just the ones Luke faced. It simply lists a lot of characters Luke interacted with because most of those were the MVP Dark Siders of the time.

Ludo Kressh, Marka Ragnos, Freedon Nadd, Sedriss, Jerec(I think?), etc.

Ragnos was still considered above Naga and Ludo at the time, and it only lists Sheev twice if you go off the Wookiepedia article. The actual poster-article itself lists Palpatine just once, IIRC.

Great; I addressed that already. Just because most of them had ties with Luke means Luke just met a bunch of OP Dark Siders, not that the article is primarily focusing on Luke's life story.

Everyone but you and Fates sees the accolade as bullshit and I'm not gonna run around in circles explaining to your hard head again.

If you believe Zekk is anywhere near the guys listed, then be my guest, lmao.

That being said, they are obviously not the strongest DS that were created back then.
Guys like Zekk, and RotJ Lumiya should be all firmy below Gethzerion, Ragnos, Sedriss etc.

@Deronn

So far only you are the only one on this thread who voiced against it.

If your only argument is based on arbitrary ranking of characters and "herr, its only people who came in contact with Luke!" then be my guest. But it hardly disproves the accolade in any way.

Not really, tbh. Only when you mean the "Luke met many strong people" - part. But even then, you still asked that:

Yes, I asked because his argument is "it's mostly peeps who met Luke". That doesn't mean the article is exclusive to anyone who Luke came in contact with, hence why someone like Naga Sadow is there.

It's a flimsy argument.

That's not the point I'm making. My point is if Zekk can be counted within the echelon when there's other Dark Siders that weren't(such as Ludo Kressh and the likes) then that's a really solid accolade as a Force user to be considered an embodiment of the Dark Side alongside the likes of Brakiss and Kueller.

Let me just mention that I don't think Zekk is ~ Ulic Qel-Droma or Exar Kun.
Just that the accolade is valid and incredibly impressive.

Brakiss is mad underrated btw.
Did Naga's best feat without a amp 😉

Edited btw.

Clearly that isn't my argument, lmao. Sometimes, I wonder if you can even read properly.
