―The Emperor's Wrath
The same Sidious who Starkiller was 'no match for'. I rate the Sith Emperor as being on par with ROTS Sidious if not a bit more powerful than ROTS Sidious in the force. And in a contest of the force Sidious still can zap Starkiller.
Marek was no match in unfair contest, he was tanking lightning like Yoda but without Force absorb. Marek can use lightsaber to block lightning instead.
Pretty sure the DB said that he was just no match for Sidious.
He could try to block Sidious' lightning with a saber, of course he'd end up eating Lightsaber just as Mace Windu was about to. Marek isn't really close to Mace in swordsmanship he was getting his ass handed to him by Kazdan Paratus, Shaak Ti, and Vader in sabers, its his force prowess which gives him his claim to fame.
No he wasn't. He beat all of them in Sabers except for Shaak Ti who suicide attacked him - so technically that was a stalemate, and even that was before a couple of power ups later on in the book.
If I recall correctly, in the novel, during their saber-fight, Vader was hammering at Galen. I believe Galen enraged him with something he said, causing him to go on a complete offense, and leave an opening that Galen then hammered upon, and continued to barrage Vader with Force Powers.
Vader was hammering at Galen but he did successfully defend himself from that hammering.
Still Galen was the one who found the opening and got through Vader's defenses. Even if he used some Dun Moch crap to do it, don't see how that makes Vader superior.
I am pretty sure that in at least one of the sources he was getting stomped by Shaak Ti in raw sabers. I may be wrong but I'd like a quote if possible.
