Though the Legacy of the Force series proves to be an utter tragedy and total embarrassment for anyone who calls himself a Star Wars fan, Jacen Solo was able to contend with a relatively pissed off Luke Skywalker in a lightsaber duel, whereas Darth Revan has not performed anything approaching that particular level of prowess as a swordsman -- and before some KotOR fanboy goes off on me -- I'm aware that he is certainly a talented duelist in all aspects. Still, even overpowering a Star Forge-enhanced Darth Malak does not compare to such a feat. The self-proclaimed Dark Lady Lumiya claimed that Jacen's knowledge of the Force is "broader" than Darth Sidious's, but given the scope of the Emperor's knowledge and the lack of formal knowledge bases Jacen has had to work with, as well as the sheer lack of time dedicated to studying the Force, we can either chalk this up to an outright lie or statement born from ignorance. With that in mind, I wouldn't hesitate to conclude that Revan most likely has a vastly superior understanding of the dark side of the Force, and given that Luke Skywalker was able to use the Force to sit and keep Jacen on his ass without "any effort" whatsoever might mean that Revan has a chance in a pure Force fight. But that would require more proof; all I know is that he won't win a lightsaber duel.

More proof would be nice, but I really have to say - Caedus is the biggest wuss Sith since Krayt. Hell, I give Krayt more credit. I'm pretty sure Caedus writes on his LJ when he's busy not making Jedi feel awkward.
Darth Krayt speaks of Darth Caedus with disdain, and refers to him as a "Sith lightning rod" while Krayt and company went about the real Sith business.
That said, contending with Luke Skywalker in lightsaber combat is a ridiculous indicator of skill. That said, one could argue that Skywalker's out-of-character rage and brutality might have hindered him than helped him, and he is miles ahead of Jacen in terms of Force prowess.
Outstanding. You have been spared; though, I personally found it to be the best book (right beside Exile) in the series, but only due to the sheer amount if Pellaeon!
Anyways, let me fill you in that one of Fett's lieutenants is about to kill Caedus but releases him, after shooting him in the kneecap, as per Boba's order that Jacen's death "belongs to [Jaina] Solo".
gender has little to do with power, so dont debate that. i will call the exile a man if i want to, if it doesnt change his powers/abiliteis in a debate....
