So, in everyone's opinon are the sith or the jedi stronger?

i personally rekon the sith are

This question required you to define 'stronger'.

In any ultimate sense, GL is very clear- the Dark Side will destroy itself. Good defeats evil, Light defeats Dark.

Well I for one agree with Yoda for he said in the Empire Strikes Back that the dark side was not stronger. I mean if you look at it every Sith Lord has always been defeated.

Jedi and Sith are equal in terms of raw power.

However, the Jedi are by far mentally stronger than the Sith, who are seemingly obssesed with "UNLIMITED POWAAAAHHHHH:

It does seem to be a stumbling block to them...

Depends...

Neither one of them is really more powerful, power just comes easier to the Sith because they are more willing to take it. They are willing to kill hundreds for training purposes they are willing to slaughter entire villages for knowledge where as Jedi would not do so. So Sith are able to get power faster, however in the end neither one of them is really more powerful. And like Ush said the Dark Side will destroy itself sooner or later.

In the 'now', the Darkside is more powerful. So in the 'now' the Sith are more powerful.

In the 'then' the lightside is more powerful. So in the 'then' the Jedi are more powerful.

In the end the Jedi are alive and well, where the Sith are not. So the lightside wins in the long run.

Hell, Ragnos may have been a demi-god, but he still died. Sadow could blow up stars, but he's dead too. Kun and Revan did what they did, and the Light got them eventually. Palpatine was stabbed in the back by his own Dark Side tutelage, who in turn was redeemed.

Fact 'o the matter is, all these baddies were the most powerful Force-users of their time, not just that, but Dark Siders as well. In the end though, all of 'em except Ragnos were defeated by the Light, despite their Raw Power advantage. Jedi, in the long run, pwnd the Sith.

The Dark Side is "stronger" in the sense of a power and authority perspective. It's weaker in the sense that it's innate nature is self-destructive. There isn't one side that's intrinsically stronger than the other.

offencivly the darkside has an edge over the light, but that doesnt mean they have more overall power. id say their fairly equal, just different. the darkside has the major weakness though. while it does seem to increase combat abilitiy it looks like it weakens self control and the ability to sense other things when your engaged in a fight becuase your so filled with anger and hate and single mindedly trying to destroy your opponant. so i think their around the same, just different stats in different places.

the dark side is a quicker way to gain power, but in the end, it's selfish nature and greed for power will ensure it's own destruction.
the lightside seems far less powerful, but can become almost unstoppable if you are like yoda or luke

Dark Side IMO. I don't like Jedi philosophy and they are usually humiliated - they win only if Sith fights each other, or because of greater numbers.
And Sith always come back.

Except they won't BE coming back anymore, because the Jedi destroyed them.

You mean like they did in about five different clashes?

Yup. Only this time I'm going to be thoroughly pissed. Palpatine, the last Sith, was supposed to be dead, taking his idealoligy with him. But noooooo... the authors have to reincarnate them for post-DN.

Wrong.

sith pwn in the short quick battles like in a fight and stuff but the jedi always win in the long run

yes, losing hunderds warriors. Jedi fight like gobklins in LotR.

The Sith keep losing, yeah, but there's only two at once. Saying that, if there were more they would turn on one another ALL the time intead of just on weekends.

If the Sith could develop a structure of hierarchy that catered for more at once (and worked) then the jedi would be nothing more than a distant memory for fanboyz.

Erm... The Sith are stronger. The Jedi just have a ton more. (EX: The Clone Wars) But like Ush said, the Sith end up destroying themselves.

All the really powerful guys usually got overpowered by large groups of Jedi.

Yes, Sith are most powerful, pwn Jedi, get bored, pwned themselves and the story continues.

When you think about it, the Sith only fell after Ragnos's death and they took the offensive? Why? because the Sith can never work together, they are more likely a bunch of traitors amongst themselves, each and every one of them would save their own skins or murder their superior, thereby meaning their unity is short lived, and so are their victories..

So it isnt a question of their power, in my view, they far surpass the Jedi...EG. Kun needed the betrayal of Ulic and thousands of Jedi converging on him, to win...

But due to their nature to gain personal power for themselves, they forsake their Empire, meaning in the end, they destroy themselves. If they could all band together and stick as a united group, they would easily defeat the Jedi..

It's not just that Sith destroy themselves. It is that they are innately parasitic, whereas the Light Side is symbiotic.

The Light Side knows true friendship, honour, trust, comradeship, team-spirit... these are all strengths that the Dark Side lack.

As far as George Lucas was concerned, the Sith were totally destroyed in ROTJ. There is no-one left to pass on their teachings- everyone who knew them is dead.

light will triumph because of numbers but there will always be some one with a diffrent point of view so there will always be a battle. unless the univers ends both sids will fight and one will be above the other.

If we accept the role playing game, the dark side starts out stronger, and increases in strength faster, but then plateaus after a a few levels, the light side on the other hand has a more steady rate of increase.

So for the first few levels (i forget where the plateau is) the dark side kicks some serious A. A few levels after that plateau however, the light side takes control. So as long as there's enough time, the light side wins.

True, however, im saying even in darkness, if those Sith had some form of reliability, and some trust, rather than seeking personal gain, their superior powers and strength are sufficient to take down the Jedi and the Republic..

as for the GL quote, if only they didn't write DE and NJO etc...it wouldnt insipire so many Luke fanboys

*sigh* Legacy better be good, or I'll just be pissed at it for reviving Sith. Or maybe it's just a tagline?

The Sith are dead. Lumiya calls herself a Sith, but she's just a ***** that Luke pwnd.

You guys can't be serious...The Sith posess every ability the Jedi do. The difference is that the Sith also posess abilities that the Jedi don't. The Sith are smart enough to use their power for personal gain. All of the offensive capabilities like force-choke, Sith lightening, etc make them more powerful than the Jedi.

The Jedi won't even read a mind even though it's one of many abilities one can master thru The Force. The Sith will go so far as to not only read minds, but plant dreams and suggestions in others if it serves their purpose.

The Sith are always defeated because it is the will of The Force. That's out of GL's mouth. VIVA SITH!

That's why Sith always lose, right?

Oh, so Legacy has none of the characters we know right?

Jedi no question about it, if the sith were stronger they would have more time in control of the galaxy.

The Jedi win due to treachery amongst the Sith ranks, adding to that, the Sith inevitably destroy themselves, they are never outrightly defeated by the Jedi

Simple answer neither The Jedi or the Sit hwhill ever win completely, sure you can kill the Sith, But the sith is a believe and their teacthing whill continue, and there is always eomeone else to take up the roll of dark lord of the sith, as is it the other way, the jedi could be almost completly whiped out, there is always someone to take up the teacthings of both side's and whill always continue on

If we are basing this just on the movies then the Jedi are stronger.
If we are basing this with the overpowered EU Sith Lords that can nuke planets then the Sith.

Agreed.
