Time to put this one to rest. Who is definitively the most powerful Anakin, KF Ani or End of Life Vader? Give me your most convincing arguments, this feud must be settled once and for all.
When Plagueis and Sidious shifted the balance of the force towards darkness, it's said that the Jedi's powers weakened and they lost use of certain abilities. What were the exact effects of this shroud? I know one was that they no longer could have visions, but was their ability to use the force in general weakened by any significant margin?
As of DC K.O. how powerful would you say this, let's call him, Absolute Darkseid is? This is definitely one of the most powerful depictions we've ever seen of this character, and I believe he is still True Darkseid as well.
You think he's surpassed the likes of Perpetua, The Darkest Knight, and the Empty Hand? We already know he's soundly more powerful than the World Forger, Time Trapper, and Eclipso, which by extension puts him above the Anti-Monitor and Spectre.
I at least know he's gotta be in the top 5 for strongest characters in the verse right now.
Based on lore and context given in the Plagueis novel and backed up by some feats, I think Darth Plagueis is stronger than every sith prior to him, including Vitiate.
The book has Plagueis directly compare his talents to the ancient sith who he was well aware of. Even knowing their feats, Plagueis still concludes he is superior to them. He says this after the book made it clear that he was aware of the existence of Vitiate, so he would be included in this assumption. While you could easily say that Plagueis is just giving into narcissism, there are feats that I personally believe back up his claims.
The main feat that I think proves Plagueis' superiority is the ritual that shifted the balance of the force to the dark side. While Sidious was helping with this ritual, that doesn't take away from the fact that this is a monumental and unprecedented feat. They fundamentally altered the laws of the galaxy through the power of just two sith. This trumps anything Vitiate did imo, his initial absorption of Nathema took the energy of thousands of beings. The ability to manipulate midichlorians to preserve and create life is also unique to Plagueis, not to mention that he is the only being in history that the force directly retaliated against as it felt itself being attacked. The manipulation of the force was felt by every force sensitive and weakened the jedi for the entirety of the PT and OT until Sidious was finally killed.
The reason most people would put Vitiate above Plagueis is just due to the depictions and usage of their powers. Vitiate did big, visually destructive DBZ level shit, while Plagueis' usage of the force was much more subtle. I think Plagueis and Palpatine were capable of the same things as Vitiate, it just wouldn't have made sense for their mission and likely would've gotten them killed.
I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but I personally think Plagueis was more powerful than all sith that preceded him unless you're counting spirit Exar Kun.
What is the consensus on who their biological mother is? In the Plagueis novel, Maul's mother was a nightsister named Kycina, where as Son of Dathomir states that Talzin is his mother. I know Son of Dathomir is considered as part of both the EU and Canon, so what's the consensus. My interpretation is that Talzin is not their biological mother and rather claims to be to gain a further hold on Maul. Since Maul wouldn't know his real mother, he has no way of really refuting her claims.
What do you think? Is it just a retcon or a trick?
So, how do you think the voice acting is gonna be handled for Veronica? You think we’re getting Stephanie Panisello, Jeff Schine, and Craig Burnatowski back for Claire, Chris, and Wesker? Or do you think we might see some VA changes?
I feel if anyone’s to be changed, Chris would make the most sense since this is a much younger version
of him. We just had Craig in Requiem so I imagine he’ll still be Wesker, but I have no idea if Stephanie is returning as Claire.
Does whether or not we side with Malgus at the end actually matter? They give us multiple dialogue options to agree with Malgus and even have us protect him from debris during his speech. Malgus acknowledges that we're on his side and actually seems happy about it. But knowing SWTOR, I just have a feeling that this won't really matter in the end and Malgus will find some way to be at odds with us.
For a long time it has been questioned who the strongest Sith of the SWTOR era was outside of Vitiate. The two candidates have always been Darth Malgus and Darth Jadus.
In the latest patch of SWTOR, these two finally fought, but it isn't exactly cut and dry. Through out all their fights, Jadus was just using force illusions to face Malgus and the Outlander with both of them visibly tired from the fights. Now, this would make you think Jadus was stronger right? Well, not exactly. Cause during these illusion fights, Jadus was being amped by Naga Sadow's Meditation Sphere, so this doesn't represent his normal feats.
One point in Jadus' favor is that he did take down the Outlander with his illusions without the Meditation Sphere in the previous update, and it's been basically confirmed at this point that the Outlander = Malgus.
So, based on what we've seen, can we come to a verdict on who's stronger, or is it still unclear?
Honestly, to this day, the Android Saga squad is still probably the most legendary Z Fighter lineup of all time. It's just so iconic and I can't say another lineup that surpasses it. I'd say a close second is probably the Moro saga Avengers assemble lineup, that was pretty hype.
Something I’ve been seeing more and more in the fandom is people that hold the sentiment that TCW ‘08 and its related content, was removed from Legends once it was added to Disney Canon. This is just not true.
We have Legends content that has been directly connected to concepts in the show like the Tho Yor and Abeloth being related to the Ones of Mortis.
This attempt to remove TCW from Legends has been in effect since before Disney bought the franchise due to people being angry about inconsistencies with the CWMMP. Sure, not everything makes sense, but like it or not, both TCW ‘08 and CWMMP are parts of Legends and that includes works such as Son of Dathomir.
Next week is big for games as we are getting both PlayStation State of Play and Summer Games Fest. The next DLC is supposedly releasing this summer, so I feel there’s a pretty good chance we get more details about it during one of these shows.
The biggest point of discussion is whether or not the Horizons protagonists will stick around for Gen 10. While it’s hard to say for certain, the beginning of the current arc does imply that there is more to do with the characters.
Essentially, the kids have been given an open ended goal that’s simply adventure and have new experiences, a goal that’s as vague as wanting to be a Pokemon Master. Already, we have an excuse for pretty much endless content with the Horizons cast as traveling to the Gen 10 region would still align with their goals.
While popularity of the Horizons anime has waned overtime, the popularity of Liko and Dot as characters has stayed strong in Japan, this may add to the anime staff’s reluctance to drop them just yet. Nothing’s set in stone, but there are grounds to keep this cast now.
Something I find interesting and kinda wild about Luke's lightsaber combat during the OT is the fact he essentially had no formal lightsaber form.
Luke's form was entirely improvised through out the trilogy with him being trained very briefly in Shi-cho by Obi Wan and apparently learning a little Ataru from Yoda. It wasn't until his final battle with Vader that Luke started using Djem So which he picked up on the fly from Vader himself.
This really speaks to how much a prodigy he is. He fought almost entirely on instinct and managed to get by, even the weakest Jedi at least knows Shi-cho, but Luke barely even knew that. Also him managing to just replicate Vader's form mid-fight and then use it to win is pretty crazy.
Set Harth was a temporary apprentice to Darth Zannah who eventually defected from the Banite Order. He held onto Darth Andeddu's holocron for centuries, becoming a master of essence transfer. Using clones of himself that he could transfer into, Set Harth lived all the way into Luke's era with him being confirmed to be alive during the Yuuzahn Vong war.
This got me thinking, if EU had continued, do you think they would've eventually used Set Harth as a big bad? He was one of the oldest living sith, having been alive at the very beginning of the Banite lineage, he has knowledge of ancient dark side abilities and had watched the galaxy change for over a thousand years. He'd basically be like Darth Krayt on crack.
In Jedi vs. Sith, the comic Path of Destruction is based off of, a lot of time was spent on the three force sensitive cousins, Derovit, Hardin, and Zannah. In that comic they even had Derovit become Githany's apprentice. For whatever reason, the novel completely writes the two boys out and only shows the very end of Zannah's story.
Why'd the novel skip over such a big part of the original story? Even if they wanted to keep the focus on Bane, they could've at least had a throwaway line about Githany taking on Derovit as an apprentice, it just seems strange to remove them. Not to mention, they also skipped over Githany confronting her former lover.
The Sith Apprentice who surpassed Darth Bane vs. the man who brought the Republic to the brink of destruction then pulled it right back.
Revan was a master strategist and force user. Defeated Mandalore the Ultimate, a Star Forge boosted Malak, and nearly defeated Vitiate. Master of both the light and dark sides of the force. Just half of his being was enough to hold off a task force of the most powerful combatants of the period. This included Satele Shan, Darth Marr, Shae Vizla, and of course the Outlander.
Zannah was the first apprentice in the Banite lineage. A master of Sith sorcery and a cunning combatant. She proved herself superior to Bane, defeating him in single combat and overpowered him during his attempted essence transfer. Bane himself was the strongest Sith of his era, taking a good chunk of his knowledge directly from Revan along with other ancient Sith Lords. By extension, Bane’s achievements are reflected on the apprentice that surpassed him.
Who between these two powerful force users reigns supreme?
Over the course of the EU, there are multiple different stories about the acquisition of the Death Star plans. Most famous one is Kyle Katarn in Dark Forces, but then there's also a version where Han Solo helps steal them as well as various versions where different Rebel groups are responsible for stealing them.
As far as I know, the different versions all seem to be canon in some fashion, so could it be assumed that all these different people were merely stealing fragments of the Death Star's schematics which were scattered across different Imperial facilities?
