Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings: #5

The 5th character for the Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings is…Revan!

Revan Overall = 97

The epitome of the Old Republic, Revan was a legend of his time.

As some characters are straight forward and easy to grasp, Revan is the complete opposite.

Known as one of the most gifted Force-users ever, Revan played both sides throughout his life.

Revan was dynamic wielding a lightsaber but his lethal understanding and vast knowledge of the Force provided him with enough firepower to eliminate anyone.

As the story goes, he fell to the Dark Side after being influenced by the Sith Emperor and then eventually redeemed himself only to be recaptured by the Sith and experience a schism of the mind leading to Darth Revan.

Not only was he one of the best on the battlefield but his legacy could be felt through generations.

The Jedi Master Satele Shan is a descendant of Revan himself.

In fact, some have wondered if Rey might have a possible connection to the storied Revan as well!

But who is Revan exactly? There’s much unknown about the character like what’s his real name for instance?

Oddly enough, no one knows his real name.

No matter what, one thing is for sure. The cloud of mystery surrounding one of the most prolific characters in Star Wars history only adds to his fabled reputation.

Characteristics

• Force Unleashed (Strength, 99/100)- When it comes to strength and potency in the Force, Revan is arguably the best. At the strongest point in his life, he was able to channel both the light and dark and use his own soul as a conductor. One of his more grotesque skills was the ability to mangle his enemy as he would literally crush his opponents organs. What’s interesting about Revan however is his lack of freestyle. What I mean by this is his powers were relatively simple! Revan had the talent to do literally anything he wanted but he was a practical man and referred to results rather than eccentric displays of his power, something Malak would have preferred. He was very keen on enhancing his physical limitations as he used the Force to augment his reflexes, strength, speed etc. Unfortunately, having the capability of simultaneously utilizing the Dark Side with the Light will have severely crippling consequences…I’ll touch on that in a little bit.
• Power Among Friends (Strength, 95/100)- Throughout Revan’s life, one thing he most certainly had was power. He always generated a massive following whether that was while he was on the side of the Jedi or within the darkness as a Sith. Many constantly gravitated to him because he gave off an aura of sheer strength of cataclysmic proportions. What’s more, he made people believers through his example. Cutting down, mutilating and just plain defeating his adversaries, with the Force as his ally Revan was the hammer to the Galaxy’s nail.
• Rebellion Leader (Strength, 94/100)- As the Jedi Order continued to sit out the ongoing Mandalorian Wars, it was Revan who took a stand. Leading what was known as the Revanchist movement, the Jedi forces spearheaded the war effort. Through these actions the legend was born as their leader officially took on the name Revan. As he and the squadron of fighters he controlled joined up with the Republic military, he was chosen as the Supreme Commander. Within the fighting the Jedi Knight discovered a mask of a Mandalorian that was killed in action. This mask would go on to be forever synonymous with triumph and pain as he would continue to wear it even with the Sith.
• Military Prowess (Strength, 97/100)- Throughout these power rankings I’ve made a point to mention all the great military leaders that had a strong effect on the battlefield. When it comes to Revan, he was at the top. Revan was the Supreme Commander during the Mandalorian Wars. His knowledge of warfare and Jedi experience molded his mind into the ultimate chess player when it came down to decisions. He was a statistical genius as he continuously crunched numbers in his head in attempts to sort through various strategies. As the Wars raged on, he grew more and more hardened as he would often try to put himself in his enemies shoes and look through their eyes to create a plan of attack. However, this ended up severely damaging Revan’s state of mind as he began to care very little of even his own men as he was willing to sacrifice everything for victory.
• Sponge of a Mind (Weakness, 60/100)- Revan’s mind was so advanced that he was so easily influenced. Always trying to find an edge, Revan was a staunch Jedi who was so intensely dedicated to the Order. Before each battle, Revan would stare at his reflection in a mirror while wearing his mask and recited the Jedi Code repeatedly until the words seemed to blur together. So how did he fall to the Sith? After stumbling upon Dromund Kaas and shown the Dark Side by the Sith Emperor, he was in trouble. Immediately, Revan saw opportunity, he saw potential and he saw promise. Revan’s biggest flaw was his tendency to take on whatever he felt gave him the immediate advantage in that specific moment. In the end of course, he’d fully endorse the Dark Side which never would have happened had he not been so experimental with his obsession of advancment. He always wanted to push himself to the next level, this most definitely played role in his devotion to the Sith.

Intangibles

• Hazardous Effects (Weakness,*)- When Revan was finally freed from the Sith Emperor’s clutches after hundreds of years, he tried creating a strategy to defeat the Empire. Unfortunately, he was killed before completion. This is where things get crazy…What happens when torture at the hands of the Emperor as well as embracing both spectrums of the Force finally take its toll? Schism! At Revan’s “death”, his mind splintered as half went on to become one with the Force leaving the remaining half alone. It was at this moment when Revan’s remaining conscience surrounded itself with the Dark Side. In the end immediately before his final death, Revan’s mind would form together one last time as the man was finally at peace.

Final Word

The significance of Revan is so staggering that it almost seems made up. He was a Republic soldier, a Master of the Jedi and the Sith, a disciple of pure darkness and a loved father and husband that’s bloodline would continue to dominate the Galaxy with it’s greatness. Revan’s legacy is so vast that even Darth Bane is directly influenced by him. As Bane was creating his Rule of Two philosophy, he just happened to stumble upon Revan’s Sith Holocron in which he used the teachings to develop his own thoughts towards what would be the Sith’s ultimate guideline. You see, Revan was unbelievably unique. You know who he so badly reminds me of? Anakin Skywalker. It’s very interesting because it almost seems as if Revan was the “chosen one” of the Old Republic. The parallels are definitely there. Revan’s time in existence has long-lasting affects throughout the Galaxy as we’re starting to see with Vader/Anakin in the new age of Star Wars, The Force Awakens. Nonetheless, Revan is easily one of the most powerful Force-users ever. Easily.

Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings: #6

The 6th character for the Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings is…Obi-Wan Kenobi!

Obi-Wan Kenobi Overall = 96

With the intense dedication and the unfathomable sacrifices made in the name of the Jedi, it’s no surprise that the great Obi-Wan Kenobi is where he is in the Power Rankings.

As the only member of the Jedi Council besides Yoda to survive Order 66, Kenobi is at the very top when it comes to importance, power and legacy.

It is true that he wasn’t blessed with any extraordinary gifts or abilities yet he still excelled.

With the most prolific work ethic in the Jedi Order, Kenobi earned every bit of what was given to him.

His resume is as impressive as it is lengthy.

Racking up high-profile kills in General Grievous, Darth Maul*, Anakin Skywalker* and others as well as being the Jedi Council’s go-to man for important missions, Kenobi really was in a class of his own.

The ultimate tribute to Obi-Wan however is not his dynamic accolades or his slaying of Sith Lords and traitors but his incredible consistency and unwavering loyalty to the Jedi Code.

A true leader on and off the battlefield, he never hesitated to question morality no matter who was in charge.

These are just a few more well deserved labels for a Jedi Master who the Galaxy can never thank enough.

Characteristics

• Model of Consistency (Strength, 98/100)- As I said before, the level of consistency Kenobi routinely displayed is probably his most important trait. Never faltering, always fighting to the bitter end and putting in the work in between, the Jedi Master seldom complained and when he did, it was about his wild and rambunctious Padawan. In being the Jedi Council’s top man for missions imperative to succeed, his level of consistency is what attracted his peers in granting him their trust.
• “He will do what he must” (Strength, 97/100)-Probably the most even keel Jedi, except when Anakin flies, his calm state of mind allowed him to get things done without the entanglement of emotions. Absolutely gifted in this ability and most definitely the best in this regard save Master Yoda, Kenobi knew what needed to get done and almost always saw it through to the end. The most telling example is his sacrifice to the Skywalker lineage in staying remotely close to young Luke Skywalker and only approaching him when the time was right. You talk about patience and devotion, look no further than Kenobi.
• Leadership (Strength, 95/100)- In the Clone Wars like most members of the Jedi Council, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a General on the battlefield. What’s most fascinating however is his ridiculous record of success in battles he commandeered. With his “lead by example” attitude, his subordinates had no problem following the Jedi Master into bloody conflicts. Not only could he dominate a battle on an advisory level but his choices in designating leaders was elite as well! It was with General Kenobi did the famous Commander Cody serve under. Obi-Wan saw the ability in Cody himself and personally picked the clone to command his troops!
• Cerebral (Strength, 96/100)- Kenobi had the gift of patience. With his patient and think first react second attitude, he was able to gain the upper hand in practically any bout he participated in. The mental capabilities of the Jedi Master were outstanding. He was a surgeon out there as he dissected situations with his mind, playing out certain scenarios and weighing his odds of this and that against each other. He would only dive into a battle when he knew the appropriate way on how he should go about the mission. The ability to think and breakdown a target’s strengths and weaknesses did the man well throughout his life.
• Teaching Ability (Strength/Weakness, 90/100)- In the end as we know, Kenobi fails his longtime friend and former Padawan Anakin. Always being so critical, Anakin and Obi-Wan had tremendous tension between the two even though they were so close. Although Kenobi wasn’t completely responsible, in being a  Master he failed to diffuse it. However, as he failed with Anakin, when it came to Luke he succeeded. Rededicating himself to the Force as well as addressing his methods of teaching, Obi-Wan did some major soul searching during his time in exile on Tatooine. In the end, it yielded tremendous results as Luke would go on to avenge the Jedi and play a major role in defeating the Emperor. So I guess you could say Obi-Wan Kenobi was 1 for 2 when it came to teaching!

Intangibles

• Rise to the Occasion (Strength, 99/100)- Even though he was not blessed with overwhelmingly dominate abilities, Obi-Wan Kenobi was gifted in another way. He had a knack for delivering in the clutch when it was needed most. I want you to think about this…Anakin Skywalker warped with the Dark Side of the Force was a gargantuan task for Kenobi to combat. If the battle was fought on paper, Skywalker would have been disastrously victorious 100 times out of 100. But of course the results of the battle were incredibly different. Kenobi bested his former apprentice, his former compatriot and his best friend. But how you say? With the Force, of course. Possessing legendary concentration, he never let his mind wander from where it was required to be if he was to win. A true wizard with the light, Obi-Wan Kenobi has shown the versatile ability to submerse himself within it and become one with the Force therefore making no task too big.

Final Word

When grading a legend like Obi-Wan Kenobi, it’s actually a puzzling experience. Here’s a guy who was great at everything or above average at all Jedi capabilities. Great but not excellent. His skills were practically, well, normal! Kenobi is the perfect story of what happens when you work hard and dedicate yourself to your craft. In sports there’s a saying, “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” That’s spot on Obi-Wan, perfectly summed up. The reality of it all is Obi-Wan Kenobi was born to be a Jedi Master. He was born to carry out his duty and represent the Republic while pledging himself for his beloved Jedi Order. He was unique as he was precise. He didn’t have blind loyalty, he questioned everything given to him and made sure it was the right choice for humanity and not himself. His intelligence and preparation was off the charts as it translated to just about anything he willed it to. He was never judgmental of Anakin, in fact he knew about his attachments with Padmé as he turned a blind eye and let Anakin to his own business. He was certainly overbearing in other circumstances but for the most part, he was truly a great friend. I rated Kenobi the sixth overall Force-user in all of Star Wars but honestly, he truly has the ability to be number one. His willingness to follow orders, to question shady directives and to rise to the occasion and always deliver is what sets him apart. Obi-Wan Kenobi, is a legend and a true Jedi Knight.

Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings: #7

The 7th character for the Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings is…Darth Vader!

Darth Vader Overall = 96

Possibly the most recognizable character of all time in movies, Darth Vader is as menacing as he is evil.

Encased in his metallic black suit, a storm forever rages on.

Brought into this world through betrayal, hatred and greed, Darth Vader is a being hellbent on death and destruction.

Though his abilities as Anakin Skywalker were severely limited after his transformation, the man was so talented and powerful that he completely remade his entire combat style

To understand the full power of Vader’s, you first must realize what he has become.

For starters, only one of his four limbs are flesh, his entire body is brutally devastated via burns and his mind has been chewed up and spit out.

With that being said, how is he the 7th most powerful Force-user in all of Star Wars!?

To answer this you must recognize the mental acuity that is within Darth Vader.

Next and maybe the quintessential piece, Anakin Skywalker was the Force.

Although Vader’s physical prowess has been permanently damaged, his control of the Force remains vigorously intense.

Lastly, throughout everything that is Star Wars no individual has ever been more driven, more resolute in his actions and more revenge-driven than Lord Vader.

So what’s the final outcome?

Let’s take a look.

Characteristics

• Mindset (Strength, 96/100)- The Dark Lord of the Sith’s discipline is so legendary that annihilates any task he ever puts his mind to. The Force is a stale frigid wind that submerses itself within his very soul. Possibly only contained within his suit, Darth Vader will accomplish any goal he desires, any action he feels necessary and any point he seeks to prove. Some people say they have a chip on their shoulder well when it comes to Vader? Yea he has an entire mountain on his…
• Skill Set (Strength, 97/100)- As Anakin, he was blessed with the best of the best abilities, reflexes and attributes. After losing practically his entire body, his emotional state of mind and his style of warfare no longer possible, Vader had no choice but to change things up. A testament to his will and sheer power, the Sith Lord completely evolved his game into a totally different style. One that included power instead of maneuverability, patience instead of spontaneity and tenacious hate instead of fluidity. The conquering of change is already impressive but the pure dominance that Vader achieved even after his near entanglement with death is nothing short of miraculous. Darth Vader is one hell of a badass.
• Command of the Force (Strength, 97/100)- As time went on, Darth Vader came to the understanding that he was no longer able to move freely or capable of such fantastic physical feats that only Anakin Skywalker could claim. This absence within him drove him to delve deeper into his pursuit of the Dark Side. When he finally came up to take a breath of air, he was a masterful wielder of it all. Really, he was able to command the Dark Side so skillfully that he made it into that of an art. His go-to move in the Force choke became so synonymous with himself that individuals would begin clawing at their own throats even before he put up a finger! Fear, the very stench of it gave Vader exhilarating happiness.
• Commander in Chief (Strength, 96/100)- Virtually in charge of the entire Galaxy, Darth Vader was the face of order in the Empire. It is true that the Emperor Palpatine was the head honcho but as the enforcer, Vader abused the title to no end. What adds to his already astonishing prowess, Darth Vader was in total command of the entire Imperial fleet. Not only could he destroy an entire enemy force himself, but he controlled the latest state of the art weaponry that was the mighty Empire. A masterful leader on the battlefield, Lord Vader was elite in the business of direction and giving out orders to ensure victory.
• Art of the Lightsaber (Strength, 98/100)- When Darth Vader ignited that flaming red beam of death, pain and mutilation were only moments away. As a person who cared not for anything but himself, Vader would absolutely butcher all that got in his way. Whether that means a child or a pregnant woman, it mattered little to the man in the black. But the way he handled a lightsaber is truly unique. Many have been as dynamic as him but the way he was able to skillfully move his blade is what sets him apart. The Jedi teach that the lightsaber is just an extension of oneself. Well as a Sith Lord, Darth Vader fully bought into that idea which blended hate with discipline and thus made him that much more of an efficient killing machine.
• Limitations of the Suit (Weakness, 20/100)- Up to this point, this characteristic is the most vitally weak attribute to any character. But is it justified? You bet it is. It’s extremely ironic that one who regards himself as an invincible force of nature is actually as vulnerable and fragile as a young child. It’s as simple as this: Darth Vader’s breathing apparatus is his life. His lungs are shriveled and charred. They no longer have the ability on their own to carry the vital oxygen themselves. If his suit is damaged in any way, the situation would turn extremely dire.

Intangibles

• Top Gun (Strength, 95/100)- Not only can Vader fight, command troops and instill fear, but he’s also the very best fighter pilot…ever! No one is as dynamic in a cockpit as Vader is, no one. Like Anakin Skywalker before him, Darth Vader was fully able to submerse himself into the Force and allow his instincts to fully take over. Why is it so difficult to shoot him down? He’s so familiar with space and his knowledge of warfare is so precise that he can calculate the attempts of his adversaries before they even know what to do! It’s true. The Force is without a doubt his number one ally, but his understanding of battle scenarios is so intricate that he knows what’s coming. All in all, he’s deadly on the ground and lethal in the air.

Final Word

Why is Vader so important? What is his legacy? To put it as simply as I can, Darth Vader is Star Wars. The first time he appears in the movies, he has an aura of ghoulish malevolence.

 

 

 

 

Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings: #8

The 8th character for the Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings is…Darth Nihilus !

Darth Nihilus Overall = 96

While creating this list, one of the things that I’ve realized more than before is that the Old Republic era is absolutely filled with power hungry, manipulative gargantuan forces.

None more so than Darth Nihilus

Given the name Lord of Hunger, Nihilus was a unique individual.

Directly effected by Revan and Malak’s activation of the Mass Shadow Generator super weapon, Nihilus was on Malachor V at the time it was surrounded by the destructive spatial phenomenon known as the mass shadow.

It was through this experience that made Nihilus begin to crave Force energy.

He would go on to turn against his Master and consume her strength within the Force.

However, as his hunger grew, he was forced to use the Dark Side of the Force to combine his own lifeforce with his mask and armor.

Nihilus would go on to wreck entire planets as he would feed on the energy of Jedi, living beings and pretty much anything he desired as his hunger was insatiable.

Truly a terror, it would take two Jedi and Mandalore the Preserver to take him down.

But if you ever miss him, don’t worry too much…

After all, his soul can still be contacted where he is buried on Korriban!

Characteristics

• Hunger (Strength, 99/100)- Up to this point in the Sith Pacify Power Rankings, Nihilus’ power of consuming another Force-user’s energy is the most dominant ability. It’s pretty simple, he would beat you down and then take your power through the Force and add it on to his. Talk about being a bully!
• Offensive Minded (Strength, 96/100)- A key characteristic of Darth Nihilus was his style of combat. He always wanted to strike the first move. He was known to launch dynamic ambushes in attempts to eliminate the enemy and strip them completely dry of everything they owned and everything they ever knew. Darth Nihilus could really be a terrifying force. He used that fear to his advantage too as he would willingly search out with his feelings for power sources in which he would go on and consume the energy.
• Domination (Strength, 95/100)- Something you have to keep in mind when discussing Darth Nihilus is his pure domination of the Galaxy. Look, during his time, to say they were turbulent and tumultuous years is a gross understatement…You had a Jedi Purge going on, you had the Galaxy still feeling the effects of Revan and Malak’s power and you had an evil Force sensitive vacuum cleaner trying to devour everything it could!  Times were tough and when you saw that distinct and infamous white and red mask, it was game over.
• Insatiable Appetite (Weakness, 50/100)- As I said earlier, Darth Nihilus had an insatiable appetite…Is that a good thing? Nope. It was just a matter of time till he found himself on the wrong end of an ambush. What ended up happening that ultimately caused the Sith Lord’s downfall was his naivety. The Jedi would set up a trap in which they only had to wait Nihilus to spring it, and he eventually did which of course, was the end of that!

Intangibles

• Complete Package (Strength, 91/100)- When it came to Darth Nihilus’ abilities, they were exceptional. He wasn’t just a world-eating maniac that would be in trouble if he came face to face with someone his size, no. He was an all-around elite player in the Force. One who was devastatingly physical, voraciously tough and overwhelmingly dominant in practically every way. That is what you call well rounded.

Final Word

As the Sith Pacify Power Rankings continue on, I find myself getting into rare territory. Darth Nihilus is so powerful and so legendary, that he could easily be in the top 3. However, his weakness in his lack of self-control is what kept him away from that level. Nihilus was a terror that deserves all the recognition he receives. When people see that awesome mask of his, they know what they’re dealing with. In the end, it’s a good thing he was stopped. The depths of his hunger might have taken everyone and everything Star Wars related with it!

Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings: #9

The 9th character for the Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings is…Darth Bane!

Darth Bane Overall = 95

Throughout Star Wars history, few are more important than Darth Bane.

The Dark Lord of the Sith would set up the infamous Rule of Two which would go on to forever be the formula for those of the dark.

A thousand years before the Clone Wars, the Jedi Order unleashed a devastating offensive that crippled the Sith.

The Jedi attack left every Sith dead…except one.

Darth Bane was the lone survivor and in his gift of life, he recognized a flaw in the system.

About as revolutionary as one could get, Bane decided to reorganize the Sith into a simple order of Master and Apprentice. No more no less.

It was he who came to the realization that in having no cap in the amount of Sith Lords running about, conflict would arise.

He understood that the Sith continued to fight for position within themselves and plot to overthrow each other rather than focusing on the Jedi.

As the Sith lineage condensed, Darth Bane granted the Sith a thousand years of secrecy and precious time to plot against their nemeses, the Jedi.

In the end, Bane was hunted down and defeated by the Jedi.

However, the Jedi believed the Sith died with Bane which of course we know, was not the case.

Characteristics

• A True Visionary (Strength, 98/100)-Darth Bane’s creation of the Rule of Two will forever go down as one of if not the most instrumental decisions ever made on behalf of the Sith. It was simply pure genius. The fact is, the Sith were getting way out of hand, they were extremely disorganized and were failing as a group to gain any ground at all against the Jedi. Although the move by Bane was a radical one for sure, it was completely necessary for the longevity of the Sith.
• Legacy (Strength, 96/100)- Darth Bane is immortal. Forget the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual states for a minute. He is immortal because every Sith from his time and on would forever forge on in the structure of his implementation. That takes true leadership, unfathomable command of the Dark Side and of course, sheer ingenuity.
• Orbalisk Armor (Strength, 95/100)- Darth Bane was one of the few beings who could ever withstand the immense responsibility and burden of the parasitic creatures. Basically what this suit of armor was made of small almost-invincible parasites that were sheathed in rock-like shells that were able to deflect almost anything including lightsabers. The creatures hung on to the host using thousands of teeth as they fed off the Dark Side of the Force within their host. This piece of armor that Bane used was incredibly powerful. It’s just another testament to Bane’s power.
• Can’t Escape the Inevitable (Weakness, 68/100)- Darth Bane was powerful indeed, but he could not escape the Jedi. To be fair, he wanted it to be just Master and Apprentice so of course the Jedi would have the upper hand. Bane knew he’d eventually be slayed but hoped to delay the act for as long as he could. Unfortunately, no amount of time would ever be long enough for him.

Intangibles

• Lightsaber (Strength, 94/100)- Darth Bane’s saber was so effective and powerful that it is said that it was virtually weightless. The sword was phenomenally crafted as it passed through many Sith Lord’s hands before it made its way to Bane.

Final Word

He might not be the strongest but Darth Bane is definitely one of the most critical. If this list were based purely off of legacy, achievements and contributions, Darth Bane would easily be in the top 3. His vision and desire for the Sith to persevere is top notch. Without his presence in the Sith, the Jedi would have been victorious in exterminating the Sith without difficulty. The thing is, the Sith have so much incredible, revolutionary thinkers and beings on their side that they always seem to motivate the Dark Side to evolve and to transform into something that is untraceable until it’s too late. But make no mistake about it, Darth Bane is about as influential in the Force as anyone before and after his time. The Sith are lucky he was on their side.

Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings: #10

The 10th character for the Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings is…Darth Malgus!

Darth Malgus Overall = 95

Some villains are bad and some villains are evil.

Darth Malgus was one devilish man.

He was about as fierce and fiery of an individual as we’ve ever seen.

Standing at a whopping 7’2, Malgus was the absolute epitome of intimidating.

Known for his unrelenting thirst for power and greatness, Darth Malgus had all the makings of a legendary Force-user.

Besides the fact that he was an elite offensive fighter, he also is extraordinary in other ways as well.

Darth Malgus has perhaps the highest pain tolerance of almost any being on the Sith Pacify Power Rankings.

In a surprise attack on Alderaan, Malgus was grievously injured on multiple occasions.

At two different moments, the Sith Lord’s face was permanently scarred due to rockets and grenades that were unleashed upon him by Republic Special Forces.

But it wasn’t until he came face-to-face with his nemesis Satele Shan that he bore the brunt of his injuries.

Shan’s final attack that defeated Malgus seared the skin around his mouth and jaw bone as well as causing deep divots along the sides of his face.

The extent of his injuries ended up severely damaging his lungs as Malgus would have to wear a breathing apparatus for the rest of his life.

Malgus would ultimately get his revenge though as he would take down the Republic capital on Coruscant.

So how powerful is he?

Let’s find out.

Characteristics

• Pain Threshold (Strength, 98/100)- Can you imagine your face being subjected to not one but two cataclysmic explosions at point-blank range? And on top of that, being injured so badly that your lungs could no longer operate on their own!? Well that’s exactly what happened to Darth Malgus. But the kicker? He didn’t feel a thing. That’s right, the Sith Lord was so preoccupied with the emotional pain of defeat that he felt no pain in regard to his physical injuries. Talk about a monster!
• Power (Strength, 95/100)- Everything Darth Malgus did was intertwined with Dark Side power. From his stare to his slashes with a lightsaber, Malgus was filled with crackling pure electric energy. His strength was what set him apart from other Force-users. From a physical standpoint, you could make a legitimate argument that Darth Malgus was the strongest of all time.
• Will (Strength, 94/100)- Malgus’ dedication in seeing things through combined with his mental intensity created a recipe for annihilation. Arguably his best characteristic, Malgus’ strong personality blocked him from pain, fear and other emotions that would have ordinarily held him back. His willpower was so intense that Malgus often carried through with his own ambitions even if they conflicted with direct orders.
• Physicality (Strength, 95/100)- By now it’s easy to tell what kind of a warrior Malgus is. He’s a pure beast that would rather beat his enemy to a bloody pulp with anything available to him instead of taking prisoners. What makes him so powerful is his extremely overwhelming ability to crush anyone in his way. Malgus famously murdered his rival, Lord Adraas by choking the man. Only thing is, normally that would mean through the Force. Well, Malgus hated Adraas so deeply that he actually choked him with his bare hands…
• Military Tactician (Strength, 97/100)-Malgus was absolutely imposing in a battle but he was also a military genius. From retaking Korriban to the sacking of Coruscant. There’s a reason why his superiors continuously tabbed Malgus as the leader in these high stakes campaigns! His provato on the battlefield provided his compatriots with all the incentive and drive they needed to be victorious.
• Love (Weakness, 57/100)- Darth Malgus had a dark secret. For quite a long time, he actually had a lover in a Twi’lek slave girl named Eleena Daru whom he fought side by side with in multiple battles. Although he tried to keep his relationship with the girl secret, his rival Lord Adraas would eventually discover his bond with her and try to take advantage. In the end, Malgus kills Daru in an attempt to cut loose ends and to prevent anything from holding him back.

Intangibles

• Steely-Eyed Stare (Strength, 92/100)- It is said that no one could ever hold Darth Malgus’ stare for a long period of time. The sheer power of this guy seemingly emanated through his glare as if they were incendiary lasers. Through his awesome power of the Dark Side, Malgus was able to create such an intimidating reputation that was accentuated that much more just by his eyes alone!

Final Word

Few are like Darth Malgus. In a time where the Sith Empire was playing the game of “political grandstanding” to add more to its already massive amount of territory, Malgus would have none of it. In despising politics, the Dark Lord was a true Sith warrior. He preferred to kill, he loved to kill. Heck, when he was just a young boy he killed a Twi’lek servant on his father’s estate for no apparent reason! The man was a human wrecking ball that craved blood. The ferocity in his actions were so prevalent that he made a name for himself wherever he went. The merciless and punishing nature of Darth Malgus is why he is a top 10 Force-user.

Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings: #11

The 11th character for the Official Sith Pacify Power Rankings is…Mace Windu!

Mace Windu Overall = 94

The Korun we know as Mace Windu exemplified the true nature of the Jedi.

As a member of the High Council and second in command to only Yoda, Mace Windu was about as epic as epic can be.

His understanding of the times were revolutionary as he saw to engage and bring peace by force, if the situation called for that.

Not only did he personally create one of if not the most complicated, diabolical and dangerous lightsaber combat styles in Vaapad (Form VII) but he is universally known as the strongest duelist within the Jedi during his time.

Although he was spectacularly scintillating with a lightsaber, he was almost just as powerful with the Force.

Born with the innate ability to recognize shatterpoints within individuals as well as inanimate objects, he was able to perceive the fault lines and directly influence them.

It was at the Battle of Genosis in which Windu was forever changed.

In witnessing the vanquishing of hundreds of Jedi Knights, he returned from the Outer Rim as a broken man.

Never again to be the same, Mace Windu fully embraced the attitude of warrior in which he selflessly went out and explicitly performed his duty all in the name of the Republic.

Three years after the Battle of Geonosis, Mace Windu would be infamously struck down by a ironic combination of Darth Sidious and Anakin Skywalker.

Characteristics

• Swordsman (Strength, 98/100)- There have been some pretty damn good Force-users with a lightsaber but Mace Windu is right up there with the best. Not only was he able to create a new style of lightsaber combat, but he mastered it! So many tried to follow him in this path of perfecting Form VII yet some turned to the Dark Side as others perished. Not only was he an amazing duelist, he had an awesome saber with a unique amethyst crystal!
• Ways of the Force (Strength, 94/100)- Mace Windu is a warrior, make no mistake about it. It’s no coincidence that his abilities portrayed in the Force benefit his combatant-like status. His usage of the Force during combat was the perfect compliment to his style. It truly accentuated his prowess with a lightsaber as well as his experience of the martial arts. But what sets him apart from other strong Force-users is his shatterpoint capabilities. This skill allowed Windu to save lives, win battles and topple oppressive regimes.
• No Nonsense Attitude (Strength, 90/100)- It’s worth noting that Mace Windu didn’t care what people thought of him. He was about his business and with such temperament came the indispensable ability to read people. I think he is viewed as a stone-faced, cold man when in reality that may be true yet he is so much more and deserves such recognition. His repertoire includes discipline, intelligence, experience and trust.  All these traits played a major role in the outing of the Dark Lord, Darth Sidious. Of course Anakin’s confirmation was the final straw but many other top ranking Jedi began to suspect the Supreme Chancellor’s office in having ulterior motives. Windu was staunch in his criticism of the Chancellor as the Clone Wars dragged on. I think it’s remarkable how he never really trusted Anakin with all his being throughout their time in the Jedi Order and yet in the end, it was Skywalker himself who directly had a hand in his death. His suspicions of Palpatine were unduly confirmed with Mace’s loss of life to the man himself.
• Loyalty (Strength, 92/100)- As a Jedi of superior status, Mace Windu boasted the strongest and most intense dedication out of any Jedi within the Order. He was all about service and understood that his life was just a small cog in the mighty machine that is the Republic. He regarded the Republic as his number one love and ended up being martyred in his attempt to protect it.
• Trust (Weakness, 67/100)- It’s ironic and rare for a strength to be a weakness as well. Mace Windu was a prolific judge of character in people but he went too far with Anakin Skywalker. It is my opinion that so much conflict and tumultuous terror could have possibly been avoided. Of course it’s impossible to know for sure but if he just gave Anakin the assurance and faith that he so desperately desired, who knows what could have happened.

Intangibles 

• Vaapad (Strength, 99/100)- Mace Windu’s most deadliest weapon was his invaluable and dynamite-like usage of Vaapad. Very few Jedi are able to take advantage of their emotions and manipulate them to their advantage. Mace Windu was one of these individuals. His usage of the fighting style gave him a dominance over practically any opponent he ever faced. This skill was truly the difference maker in Mace Windu’s nature of engagement.

Final Word

This one was very tough for me. When I originally started to compile this list, I had Mace Windu in the 5-7 range. Unfortunately, I had to bump Windu up but his accomplishments still will receive the recognition they rightfully deserve. I don’t know how many people have realized that Mace Windu was a slash of his lightsaber away from being one of the most influential and important Jedi of all time. If he did kill Sidious in their duel, he’d be vaulted to incredible heights. Sadly he lost and the Galaxy fell into darkness. Nonetheless, the legend that is Mace Windu will never be forgotten. From his iconic stare, to his artistic skill with a lightsaber, Windu is a pillar of light through and through.
