Most useful Force users for a galactic war

Who would you want to add to your army the most?

Rules:

- no godlike beings / temporary amps / etc.
- ignore the optics, ethics, loyalty issues, etc.
- in-character (or you can say who you'd want if it were out of character too)

Are you asking us to compose an entire faction or just choose one well-rounded individual to do everything?

Anakin and the Dread Masters.

1. Luke Skywalker
2. Darth Sidious
3. Knightfall Vader
4. The Hero of Tython
5. Revan
6. The Dread Masters
7. Starkiller(s) (Galen Marek / Starkiller / The Dark Apprentice)
8. Darth Vader (RotJ)
9. Darth Tyranus
10. Darth Malgus

Basically anyone with large-scale haxx and destructive powers. Also some stealthier types to go in and disrupt the enemy from the inside. You likely also want people who can defend their own side from Force attacks.

I'd rather have the Hero of Tython than Revan because survival rates (and therefore morale) would go up.

And I just realized I forgot to include UnuThul.

Galen Marek as a Sith assassin and pretty powerful Force user would be pretty solid.

But tbh, I think Geis has it right that any single individual Force user is going to be more valuable as a figure head and someone to increase morale then as an actual asset in a galaxy spanning conflict.

Revan's a genius, but he has a history of sacrificing fvcktons of people. And the heroic figurehead thing he has going for him is part of what makes him more valuable than the Dread Masters from my point of view.

Emperor Palpatine is probably the best with his combination of telepathy, Battle Meditation and Wormholes, as well as Essence Transfer as an insurance policy. Without plot-induced elements he's going to be hard to get rid of whilst being remotely able to contribute significant amounts to warfare.

On a lesser scale, the Dread Masters have fleet crippling powers and can spawn some sort of corrupt armies. That said, they're clearly a lot more vulnerable than the Emperor. There's also Naga Sadow, who can spawn endless illusory armies and essentially win any battle if he's not caught, and he can pull off supernovae as a last resort. Both are secondary to Sheev but would be satisfactory supporting Force users if the Emperor's not available. There's also Bastila I guess.

Revan (well, if we base it off the KotOR games) is supposed to be a brilliant tactician with incredible powers of foresight and is a lot more involved in actual combat. But he's far from the most compassionate, is pretty disregarding of life and he's something of a heretic. He would probably make a lot of strange or questionable decisions that he'd not bother making sure everyone understands. And he's a got a history of falling to the dark side, lol. Darth Revan may be his most desirable incarnation.

As straight up fighters, I would pick Anakin and Luke Skywalker above anyone else. Preferably, Anakin should come with Obi-Wan, since they work well together.

All good mentions so far.

Honestly, for small scale factions, barring the overpowered tiers, Traya and Talzin can’t be overestimated. The damage the two of them can deal on their own completely undetected is frankly ludicrous.

Excluding Palpatine, my dream team would be:

Darth Revan (commander)
Outlander (commander)
Vergere (advisor)
Dread Masters (anti-fleet weapon)
Kaan (head of recruitment)
Anakin Skywalker (frontliner)
Fay (...moral support 😱 )

Darth Revan as a commander(fleet admiral), he would be able to deal with other powerful force users without confronting them. Aka, if he encountered Nihilus as Darth Revan, he simply would out play with tactics, and blast him into space, without having to confront him, would probably do this to any Powerful force user, if confronted in a space battle.

Sidious, as the 5 star general, as he is extremely efficient with Battle mediation of a Galactic scale, as well as amping force users etc. with his wormholes etc, he is the perfect, Supporting role.

On planet battles, I would choose, the likes of KF Anakin/Yoda/Exar kun, as they could annihlate armies single handedly.

For keeping order,I would have Valkorian, as he could simply telepathically dominate Millions/Billions of people who got out of hand. And dominating fleets(A superior version of the dread masters)

Palpatine dominates the enemy faction with TP while sending Force Storms to destroy their shit.

Your no fun.

For army busting:

Palpatine and it's not even close - can basically solo most galactic militaries via Force storms + telepathy.

For taking out enemy Force users:

Luke Skywalker or Palpatine.

For leadership:

Revan for tactics, and/or Palpatine for battle meditation.

For long-term growth:

Anakin Skywalker given his potential.

Anakin / Palpatine / DMs / Bastila / Revan, probably.

Lol, Palpatine wrecks them all. He has the greatest military power. So, yeah, I pick him. 🙂

All the best Force sensitive pilots

There is that brain damaged kid who could cloak entire fleets in TOR.

There's a strong association between SWTOR and brain-damaged kids, but I don't remember this one.
