Poll: Revan vs. Galen

[Mr. Charple]

Darth Revan vs. Galen Marek

(Game limitations aside, ex. KoTOR being limited in graphics and game play capabilities).

Sorry, couldn't fit every option. Thanks

Revan, simply because he wasn't an angsty douchebag. Hell, even the Exile is stronger than Galen, she made a freakin' hole in the force.

Also, Revan was dual-wielding lightsabers before it was cool.

Also, versus threads are baaaaaad!

 

[ssgt splatter]

I've never played KOTOR so I'd have to go with Galen Marek...that is Starkiller's real name right?

 

[Woodsey]

Revan's a BOSS.

Sorry about the whole "vs. thing", is was something my brother and I were having trouble deciding, I won't say who was for whom though...

 

[ZeroMachine]

Revan, hands down. Marek was good- very good- but he didn't have proper discipline or training. He was young, brash, and arrogant. Revan was a strategic and tactical genius, and an amazing leader. Not to mention he kicked ass with a Lightsaber.

Marek may have him beat with brute force Force abilities, but that isn't all that it takes.

Besides, way I see it? It's bullshit that Marek could even stand a chance against Vader. And the fact that he almost beat Palpatine? Fuck that shit.

 

[Thespian]

Well, Marek could just fucking sneeze and make a Star Cruiser fall out of the sky to kill ANYone, but Revan is much damn cooler. In a work of fiction with any respect for the Franchise, Revan would kill Marek

 

[genamp]

Revan, of course. (S)He had nearly every single advantage over the latter. This is mostly due to the fact that he just could take on nearly everyone, while calmly controlling themselves, having their memory wiped, and battling all of the sith. Now that takes talent. Marek is just... meh.

 

[darth.pixie]

Yeah, Revan. Hands down. Strategist, fighter, force weilder. Possibly one of the most powerful individuals in the franchise.

 

[wammnebu]

Revan was so hardcore she lost her memory to gain more power. Not to mention that she is worshipped by both the republic and sith

 

[iNsAnEHAV0C]

Revan, no contest. He is arguably one of the 5 most powerful force users in all of Star Wars lore, not to mention his skills with light sabers are unmatched by all, but a few.

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

Revan.
Hands down.

Marek has amazing force capabilities yes.
But Revan has disipline over his.

Marek was a strong fighter.
But Revan was a saber and stratigic master.

Marek had to bend cannon to be powerful.
Revan was powerful, within the cannon.

And Revan has a badass mandalorian mask.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Revan, by far. HE was revered as the most strategical mind blowing genius of a boss if there ever was one.

 

[MisterShine]

I'll inject a bit of "lore" into this discussion:

It's mentioned sometimes in the Star Wars universe that as time has gone on peoples connection with the force has gotten weaker. People in 5,000 bby (1k before KOTOR) were significantly stronger than those who lived during KOTOR's period, and force users around the time of the movies were significantly weaker than those who were around during the KOTOR period.

So yeah, Revan would probably stomp all over Starkiller.

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Revan. No contest, in my mind. Revan started wars, destabilised a galaxy, hovered in the grey area between Jedi and Sith, proved both doctrines wrong, set out to save a galaxy by making it destroy its own corrupt government and was just plain freaking badass. Also, Revan was trained by Kreia, who was fucking immense, and even made an enemy of the Exile - or rather, that's how I interpreted the story behind the series.

Galen is angsty. Galen is boring. Galen has overly-dramatic set pieces controlled via Quicktime Events. Galen can rip a Star Destroyer from orbit because the devs wanted to script someone strong. Revan is as strong as the player. Revan manages to have a kickass personality despite having no lines of dialogue. Galen has no personality and terrible dialogue. Revan didn't need a love interest. Galen has a horrible one.

Yeah, Revan wins.
