Speaking of the Sith, I realized a few days ago that each of the main villains embodies one path to the dark side. Dooku is fear because he is constantly under pressure to make sure that the clone wars is in Palpatine's favor and is mostly a puppet during the Clone Wars. Kylo Ren is anger because we see him act out of rage on multiple occasions and has less control over his actions. Maul is hatred because of his obvious hatred of Kenobi, which keeps him alive on the trash planet and drives most of his motives during the Clone Wars. Vader is suffering because his suit forces him to undergo constant pain, which fuels the dark side in him. Palpatine is the manifestation of the dark side itself for obvious reasons.
He was so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create... Life. They say he was so powerful he could even save the ones he cared about from dying. The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... Unnatural. He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, and then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
@M true, I heard about that recently but even then it angers me that Palp is regarded as the most powerful but then only ruled for ~20 years while other sith ruled for thousands
@@_aWiseMan From recollection that sounds right. I think the idea was lost but Bane upon decrypting the Holocron(or was it ancient text/scrolls?) brought the concept to fruition.
Technically, like all other sith, palpatine *never* conquered the entire republic, much less the entire galaxy. Hutt space and many other territories, though primarily hutt, impeded that. Because of that I'd even argue that Krayt had a really good shot at having had more political influence and power in the galaxy than palpatine. Many of the organizations that palpatine couldn't deal with as a leader were already gone by Krayt's time, and technically, more of the galaxy had been discovered and explored when he controlled moat of it. On that note, I'd also argue that some sith had effectively immeasurable political power and Influence in this regard. Namely those that ventured through the unknown regions and wild space, places we know they've been and ruled, but don't know much about. For all we know, the unknown regions could be more vastly populated than the rims and core combined, and what we do know of outside republic space is terrifying, yet the sith have braved it and ruled in it.
I always saw it as a time where there weren't as many powerful Jedi and they had grown complacent during the centuries of no sith, Palpatine had Jedi that were easy pickings, back in the old Republic era they were a larger amount of powerful Jedi compared to now and they were constantly at war and ready for another. It was way harder back than to conquer the Jedi and Republic back then compared to Clone wars era
@@armaniwebb4467 I have, and a lot of other legends materials that it draws from. Hutts are terrifying, just one in a central trading zone can turn every bounty hunter in the galaxy and then some on you. There’s a reason hutt space persisted for longer than the republic.
@@5stargrim from war of the bounty hunters then you know sidious ruled all of that. Vader single handedly wiped out the Hutt council when he went to the crimson dawn auction, aswell as take out the black sun's. Hence why jaba was the sole ruler by rotj. They didn't say anything to him. He killed and slaughtered indiscriminately with no push back. Only the crimson dawn had true power from the shadows. Infiltrating Infiltrating hurts, black sums, pykes, rebel alliance, and empire
Hutt space belonged to the Empire. Huts were just the regional rulers with slightly more liberty than others. Palpatine left some factions to maintain power but they were still under him and part of the empire
Nobody ever talks about Dooku. He apprenticed under both Yoda, arguably the best light side user of all time, and Palpatine, arguably the best dark side user of all time. He defeated Kenobi twice, cut off Anakin's arm and stood his ground against his former master Yoda. Besides Sidious and maybe Anakin in his prime, he has to be the best combination of dark side user and swordsman.
He just lost because he didn't fought full hearted. He knew Anikin needed to defeat him. It was more to bring out anger and hate. He would of defeated Anakin.
I didn't think Dooku was a full Sith nor fully embraced the dark side..thus eyes didn't turn orange or red or yellow, didn't effect his appearance like many Sith besides the original red skinned Sith. I'm far from an expert on the subject just read a few book over the years. Great light saber duelist though.
Great video! And I absolutely agree with the verdict, but it's a shame you didn't include on the list Darth Bane and Marka Ragnos. Especially Ragnos is very underrated, he ruled for over 100 years in a period where sith constantly tried to kill each others, even Vitiate didn't dared to challenged him. He's also one of the few sith that died of old age and even after his death his spirit continued influencing sith history. Personally I consider him the first sith emperor.
I feel Revan should have been on here somewhere. I think the fact that both the jedi and the sith in a time where there were many powerful sith/jedi speaks volumes to his power and capability.
Yes but if you think about it when he was a Sith Lord he really didn’t rule over much. He was like a Sith Warlord. He did a lot of fighting and had a strong army but the truth was he was just a puppet for The true Sith Lord.
Revan is very powerfull, but Vitiate and Sidious would beat him in a force duel. Only Tulak Hord would defeat Revan in pure lightsaber combat, while Sidious and Krayt would be his equal.
@@danmarusan2878 actually I don't know who would considering a miniature figuring siad revan was as strong as sidious and vilate and that was produced by Disney or Lucasfilm before being bought by Disney also revan was stronger when he dead then alive so you could make a case for revan
The transformation from the ancient sith species to dark Jedi is an important detail- The real sith, as you mentioned were a specific species and were wiped out hundreds of thousands of years ago. The sith we see in the movies and canon are dark jedi following the sith code.
@@RaikkonenCEO yep yep! Wayyyy back, Mandalorians expanded out from their own planet (which they later lost) in a massive wave of military conquest, but of course they had finite numbers and so could not sustain even small losses over time. However they would offer people who’s military prowess had impressed them a place among their number providing they committed to the code, and began the foundling tradition. Eventually there were none of the original species left. It’s the source of the helmet design, it wasn’t for humans .
@@joshuadouglass8225 yes but Revan is the only force user to release the force in its puriest form which is extremely powerful. I think Sadow and Revan would be an excellent fight and could go either way
In canon it’s been said that Vader was the most powerful in terms of raw power and lightsaber skill but Palpatine held more knowledge and was pretty much equal to Vader in duelling. Of course in legends it’s Valkorian.
Power is more then just physical strength and strength in the force. Also valkorian literally got defeated many times..he is weak bro. He only prevailed after the mandalorian wars, the jedi Civil War, and the sith triumvirate. Less then 100 jedi by the time he struck
@@armaniwebb4467 Here is Anakin Skywalker before he (truly) becomes Darth Vader. “Darth Vader will become more powerful than either of us!” (Darth Sidious) “I am becoming more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of.” (Anakin Skywlker/Darth Vader) “I am more powerful than the Chancellor! I can overthrow him!” (Anakin Skywaker/Darth vader) Revenge of the Sith “Kanan said he was he greatest warrior the Jedi had in the Clone Wars.” (Ezra Bridger) “He was powerful. He rarely lost a battle.” (Ahsoka Tano) Rebels “You’re lucky Anakin didn’t show up. The way you’re fighting, you wouldn’t have lasted long.” (Ahsoka to Maul) The Clone Wars s7 He has utterly overmatched and defeated Count Dooku in combat, who held a lasting fight against Yoda. Was considered too powerful for Maul who’s held his own against Sidious and Windu. And blitzed through the Jedi temple killing Jedi left, right and centre including Shaak Ti (a leading member of the council) and Cin Drallig (Battlemaster of the order), leaving the, once light side force nexus, permanently tainted with the Dark Side. By Revenge of the Sith he is very near the level of Yoda and Sidious and considered to be one of, if not the, greatest force user of that time…and this was nothing on the power he wielded as Darth Vader. His injuries had deformed his body, left it broken, but they’d perfected his spirit, strengthening his connection to the Force. … The armor separated him from the galaxy, from everyone, made him singular, freed him from the needs of the flesh, the concerns of the body that once had plagued him, and allowed him to focus solely on his relationship to the Force. Lords of the Sith Vader and Sidious both knew Vader to be far more powerful than he had been as Anakin. So if he’s far more powerful than someone who was almost the most powerful force wielder in the galaxy… Plus Vader has: Overpowered Sidious Overpowered a Jedi Master more powerful than ROTS Kenobi (Kirak Infil’a) while flooding a city with the force. Beaten all of the Inquisitors (possibly at once) Held back an ocean with the force Controlled celestial monsters with the force (and used them to attack Star Destroyers) Killed the Ender (city-sized, civilisation-ending, monster) Crushed an AT-AT with the force. Wiped out squads of fighters with the force Wiped out a swarm of vulture droids with the force Vader took hold of another vulture droid’s belly and tore it open, then another. Clouds of buzz droids filled space with countless small explosions, wreaking havoc on the vulture droid swarm. Lords of the Sith Wiped out entire races with the force Slaughtered Rebel armies Wiped out killer droid infestations Slaughtered hordes of lyleks Vader raised a hand, fell into the Force, and loosed a blast of power that slammed into the lyleks on the ravine’s floor, driving them backward, partially back up the ravine’s side, and into those that came behind. Lords of the Sith Kept the Grand Inquisitor alive with the force Cracked the crust of Mustafar (with the help of a force nexus) Broke the force nexus he used to crack the crust of Mustafar Created a whole new force nexus on Mustafar (life only returned to planet by TROS) Torn open the entrance into the netherworld of the force So those are some of Vader’s highlights. No other individual Sith has ever done anything like this (in canon). Then you have Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren’s whole goal as a villain is to become as powerful as Darth Vader. In TFA he thinks that he will never be as strong as Vader And finally, to cap all this off, Vader has explicitly been called the most powerful Sith. “The most powerful Sith in the galaxy” Fallen Order “Through his veins courses the bloodline of the most powerful Jedi and Sith.” (Referring to Kylo Ren) The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary “No.1 in the list of best red lightsaber wielders” Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know (but only refers to lightsaber ability) The only other Sith who is close to Vader is Sidious. But Sidious has never been stated to be more powerful than Vader, nor does he have any feats to suggest he is. The two of them have clashed 5 times throughout the saga. Sidious only comes out on top in 2 of them. The first of which Vader didn’t even fight back. The second time, Vader had literally lost his connection to the dark side (as stated by Sidious himself) and had just visited Padme’s grave. Plus he was ganged up on by Royal Guards. And Sidious himself calls Vader’s powers unparalleled: “You are a true Sith Lord Vader. Your dedication is unerring, your powers, unparalleled.” Tarkin novel So if that doesn’t prove Vader is the most powerful Sith in Canon then I don’t know what does. But at the very least this makes it impossible to prove that he isn’t.
I personally think vitiate was the strongest not just because of his accomplishments, but because his sheer presence was a leverage on the force. after his final death life on nathema, ziost and all the other planets he consumed returned and the force felt way lighter.
Palpatine in dark empire scales to an insanely op Luke, and in order to defeat sidious, Luke had to be amped by all of Leias force power, and all the Jedi from all time to defeat his spirit
if we include potentially most powerful sith lords, the answer has to be Darth Vader. If he had his full body, he most likely could have destroyed the Death Star with the Force if he wanted to.
If Vader had won against Obi Wan but still had that pure rage he gained after losing, he I would say Vader would probably more powerful in pure force strength than Nihilus.
I would argue and say Vader would have become a force entity like nihilus became cuz wasn't Anakin basically a force entity cuz he was created from the force
@@armaniwebb4467 revan would clap vaders robotic cheeks.....man cane back to life as both a light side entity sland a dark side one at the same time.....
Powers in the dark side is hard to tell. I would guess Nihilus since he can completely drain planets. But most power in general is probably Palpatine with his empire. He pretty much controlled the whole galaxy for a bit.
The issue with relying on drawing strength from the emotions or life force of your enemies is when you are facing droids, Like Darth Scourge for instance.
Great video I really enjoyed it! Just one small detail about Tulak Hord. He was the Dark lord of the Sith during the early Sith empire aka the Golden age of the Sith, in centuries following the Jedi civil wars and the 2 Schisms after which the remaining dark Jedi fled from the order and started to rule over the species Sith. In these centuries all records of Republic were forgotten and Tulak Hord, aswell as the rest of the Sith empire, never met any Jedi nor knew of Galactic republic until the Great Hyperspace war during the rule of Naga Sadow.
Everyone seems to forget Nihilus Got his amazing force power from the same device that created Zion(the sith who was held together by the force) and the character you play in Kotor 2 who can wound anyone to the force and drain them and why Nihilus was able to be defeated. The Mass Shadow Generator on Malachor V was a freak accident that pretty much intertwined with these 3 Siths DNA when they were all fighting the war on Malachor V That made them wounds in the force and gave them all unique and amazing feats of power that were near unstoppable. Always enjoyed that lore.... they were basically mutated Sith lords.
And all 3 got trained by Kreia/darth traya who was also Darth Revans master. They basically were all groomed for greatness. Was sad how all that power eventually consumed each one of them way more rapidly then most Sith
1:30 - King adas was NOT a Sith Lord!! Not a member of the Sith Order!!! He was just a leader of united sith (species) tribes of Korriban, wayy before "sith" meant something other than the species. The first Sith Lord of the Sith Order was Ajunta Pall, a human, who came on Korriban with his fellow Dark Jedi exiles after the second great schism in 7000's BBY. HE started the Sith Order, not a tribal leader who lived tens of thousands of years prior.
I've made a Sith Lord of my own that I use in Star Wars tabletop RPG's. The concept started with KOTOR2, but I named him Darth Avarice. Instead of anger and hate being the dominant emotions that fuel him, it's fear and depression. His iconic force powers are along the lines of Plague and Insanity, having long lasting affects on the psyche and body of his opponents. He is sluggish in movement, but fights with wreckless abandon, not really caring whether he gets injured or not. He's a master of Form V: Shien and implements Tràkata (disorienting feints by turning off the lightsaber and reigniting it mid strike) into his fighting style. I like to imagine that Darth Avarice's use of the force to cripple and demoralize his opponents to be as effective (but opposite) as Battle Meditation; on that big of a scale. He's not a flashy fighter, not the best duelist, and not even the strongest force user. Darth Avarice's strength is dragging his opponents to physical and mental exhaustion and keeping them there. He's not even trying to kill you, he's trying to share his pain with you. He wears a long, obscuring black cloak and a porcelain mask with two faces intertwined and looking in different directions. On the back side of the mask are long, heavy, bladed chains that dangle like dreadlocks and constantly slash his back as he moves. The back of his robes are torn and frayed and what portions of skin you can see are heavily scarred or have open wounds. He spreads paranoia, sadness, and fear wherever he goes. It's a shadow that follows behind him and he's constantly seeking to spread that dread to the galaxy.
(For the contest) My ideal lightsaber would be a sith Saber with a smaller handle with unique Zeffo type of designs on it, it would be a bronze color with white around it, the blade color would be red but it would have a short blade on the other side that is orange, (to represent energy and fire(it could also be black, to show darkness, hate, emptiness and aggression)). There would be handle guards around the emitter. The design fits my personality, (not the colors seeing as I'm not a heartless killer) but because it kinda just feels right to me. Almost like a kyber
Wasn't the rule of two set specifically to "breed" the most powerful sith possible, as whoever survived of the two was more powerful than the one who didn't and Sidious was the pinnacle of this system, only surpassed in potential by a person borne purely out of the force.
That was the idea, though I always felt this basically left a single point of failure during the time where the master had just killed his apprentice or vice versa. After all Sith Lords aren’t immortal, and some catastrophic event like a ship’s engine exploding would kill even the strongest force user…
That was the thought..but there were cases where it was feared a master never found a rightful heir to pass on the knowledge, destroyed their apprentice and had to search all over again. With that, grew too old and was killed by a lesser apprentice thus still weakening. Before that there were clans that backstabbed, used subtrifuge, had in-fighting, and most stayed Mid. So I suppose the Rule of Two still was the better approach with Sidious being the pinnacle as you stated. Risky though without room for error.
Darth Vitiate (Also known as Valkorion and originally Tenebrae) is not only objectively the most powerful, what with him sustaining his own life in some form for over 1000 years and literally stripping the Living Force from multiple planets, but he is also one of the most powerful puppetmaster/political figures in Star Wars. He not only manipulated and melded Revan AND Mandalore into becoming his tool to test the Old Republic's military strength for a total of two seperate instances, but he also built two empires at the same time more or less from the ground up. He equals and even outranks Palpatine in terms of both physical power, willpower, and cunning. His legacy was so profound, that by the time Palpatine came into power, he even credits Darth Vitiate as being the first sith to *Effectively* extend his life in ways not completely understood and create a fueled immortality.
Suggestion: For the sake of the viewers, it would be nice if there was a disclaimer a few seconds in advance when a picture of Abeloth comes into the video, just so one can look away.
This is for the lightsaber contest my friend. My saber would be based on a draconic theme. The saber itself would be black with gold inlay, around the emitter would be the words "the force shall set me free" in high sith written in kittat in the same gold inlay, with my sith name "Darth Azgorath the Monolith" sewn into a leather grip appearing to be dragons hide wrapped around the handle. It would be a cross guard lightsaber, each of the other 2 emitters having being the same shinny black as the rest with 5 golden rings (either solid or in the say sith language and writing representing or spelling out) the other 5 lines of the code. The pommel would be a octagonal peace of dragons horn with the end cap being the sith symbol used as my PFP. On the hilt the switch to power on the saber would be ver similar to the Kylo Ren Force FX black series original switch, being quit hidden at the top of the primary emitter, it would be the peace with "Force" written on it. Underneath the grip would be 7 peaces of thin deacon bone strips coming up from the pommel, these would be painted red to represent the blood of my enemies, each one representing a different age of the sith. Adas to the Jin Jedi, Paul to Ragnos, Hyperspace Hyperspace War, Rain of The Sith emperor, The brother hood of darkness, Bainite era, and the rule of one under Darth Krayt. In between would ones again be repeated the sith code line by line in the same language and alphabet. The clip to hang it off ones belt would be 2 dragon claws attached together at the tips with a pen going between them at their base attaching to paint between the hilt and the pommel. The way to access the crystal chamber would be by undoing the dragons leather wrap and pushing down on the panel in reading "peace is a lie" this would press in and a door would pop open, the leather grip acting as a locking mechanism. Inside would be a red crystal, or (if you want to follow cannon crystal lore) a bled Krayt dragon crystal along with a place for a screw driver to boost or lower the energy emitted output. To the left the plasma flow would be reduced allowing for a more stable blade until it shuts off, the right would make it less stable and more powerful looking like Kylo's until the blade shorts out. The overall casing itself would be made of black cortosis. Now to get into the nitty gritty reality, the saber would have a special tool that came with it to allow you to unlock and unscrew the pommel to access the batter pack. The pommel itself would act as the a speaker with heavy souter connections to the main hilt, this would be large enough to give a slight rumble in the hand as it is being swung and the volume would increase with the blade intensity as well as a volume switch in the crystal chamber. The entire system would be rechargeable with a USB hidden under one of the bone segments that would simply pop off, I would say the one representing the bainite sith and it would come with 3 battery banks allowing you exchange them for longer sessions. The crystal would light up using a laser pointer diode and the crystal would be exchangeable similar to the Disney system. The blades would be the best you could offer. But ya, that's my idea, my lightsaber.
Darth Nihilus has always been my favorite sith lord and Asharad Hett turned out to be one of my favorite Jedi, and to learn that he eventually turns into a sith lord was dope too
What we’re talking about sith I realized that the rule of two always was in play no matter what. Mom got killed in the Phantom Menace, or so we thought so Palpatine brought in Dooku, who had grievous but grievous is in a sith he’s just a Jedi assassin. Then Palpatine ordered the death of dooku so that Palpatine could implement anakin as the second sith
For being a large heavily muscled man his power and speed with a saber were insane. To dodge and deflect rain for I think it stated around 40 seconds before a drop hit him is crazy!
Palpatine was definitely the smartest and most cunning of all the Sith lords, but he is still an old ass man. He didn't survive using hatred or anger (like Maul or Vader), but instead had to clone himself in order to come back to life, where he could only use force lightning.
tom veich on his Twitter before he passed away confirmed that exar kun spirit was Similar to emperor papaltine reborn who was papaltine strongest and most powerful version, Leia even confirmed that exar kun spirit was more powerful than krueller who was as powerful as the emperor papaltine reborn who became a dark side nexus after he came back and exar kun spirit was weakened and depleted by the wall of light made by over 2000 jed.combat.
Personally, I'd say Viciate and Nilius are at best tied for potential and Viciate being THE best. After he drained Nathema, he was able to do it again without needing the ritual.
Just fyi, Tulak Hord is mostly considered an amazing dualist because he more or less created form 2 lightsaber fighting in a time where everyone only had form 1.
No Bane? No Revan? And for everyone saying Vader, yeah he was a beast with the force and could swing a saber.. but no lightning, no life force absorption, I am glad that Nihilus was a point of conversation here thiugh
He can do all those things and even more in the comics. Like drawing force from the dead. The shows and movies just never include it which is annoying. Plus prime Anakin could swing his saber and hit a lighting bolt
What about Marka Ragnos? It is said his rule was the most prosperous of all, the only one stated as GOLDEN AGE of the Sith Empire. The Imperial Remnant even tryed to bring him back from the dead (Jedi Academy game).
I have to give it to Vader for all the INSANE beat-downs he's been through and survived it. I mean, after going through all the comics, it seems like Vader is just like the Energizer bunny (except in black and all evil, lol) where he's just been thought hell after hell after hell and come out stronger. I will say, he went down like a b, however, with Palpatine. That whole death scene was a little too "vanilla" for me.
Fascinating to me that, when the Republic finally fell, it was through internal machinations. As someone who lives in Anerica, this has *very* interesting comparisons to certain events from about 17 months ago that are currently nack in the news.
Also tom veich on his Twitter before he passed away confirmed that exar kun spirit was Similar to emperor papaltine reborn who was papaltine strongest and most powerful version, Leia even confirmed that exar kun spirit was more powerful than krueller who was as powerful as the emperor papaltine reborn who became a dark side nexus after he came back and exar kun spirit was weakened and depleted by the wall of light made by over 2000 jed.combat.
In my mind it’s between Ada’s and vitiate Ada’s has too little feats but his Holocene alone causes Greta problems for Jedi who come in contact with it so his true self had to have been something to behold he cut down the rakata on the battlefield with his own men
My ideal lightsaber would be mace windu’s lightsaber. I feel like as one of the few main black characters in stars it always gave me someone I could see myself in when I was younger look up to. he is portrayed as powerful, intelligent and has a dark side that that he controls with discipline. #giveaway #myfirstsaber #macewindu
Vader with all his limbs would have been out of control! More of a force entity then a with lord. But Vader in his suit drew on suffering to become a unstoppable force. His hate anger and pain were what he drew his power from however palpatine used those to keep Vader under his thumb not that Vader didn’t have a way to overthrow the emperor. As he stated to Luke together Vader and Luke would have been the most ridiculously powerful dark side team in the galaxy ever ! Anakin and Luke as Jedi masters together is also a mind blowing idea
I personally don't think Palpatine should have been shown with a lightsaber in ROTS, along with Yoda. I always felt they were both better showing other skills none of us had ever seen before(like Palpatine using force lightening in ROTJ).
I only know the movies, and out of those, only one Sith has been Emperor: the main man, the one and only, Darth Sidious. Power levels, midichlorian count, lightsaber skills... none of it matters if you're not sitting on the throne. All hail the Emperor, Darth Sidious!
11:45 in... I think and are guessing that it's the aspect of being FREE that defines a Sith. Breaking FREE of Chains that bind you so you can explore power to gain power. Of all the ones you haven't mentioned yet I think it's either BANE or EXAR KUN. Both were able to break their chains and free themselves from any other responsibilities other that obtaining power.
It’s Palpatine he controlled the Republic as Grand Chancellor was de facto leader of the Jedi and the Trade Federation. He destroyed two Force Traditions the Night Sisters and Jedi not to mention how many were lost in the destruction of Jehda.
Everyone is skipping Naga Sadow. Truly terrifying sith. With the help of a chamber he could great illusionary armies thar could effect reality but you couldnt damage army. Not to mention start supernovas wiping out galaxies. Guy was broke!!! Lol
I always wondered if anakin had been properly healed and fitted with correct prosthetics and such would he have been more powerful now that he was inincumbered, less pain and suffering, etc or less powerful as learning to deal with the limitations of his body and his need to constantly block out the pain made his force powers even stronger
i personally think sidious was the most powerful due to the fact he created his own force power which was a sith wormhole in space that could transport an entire fleet of ships in mere seconds. (not that no other sith couldn't do this but i do not know of any other sith OR jedi besides grandmaster luke who could do that)

Technically, like all other sith, palpatine *never* conquered the entire republic, much less the entire galaxy. Hutt space and many other territories, though primarily hutt, impeded that. Because of that I'd even argue that Krayt had a really good shot at having had more political influence and power in the galaxy than palpatine. Many of the organizations that palpatine couldn't deal with as a leader were already gone by Krayt's time, and technically, more of the galaxy had been discovered and explored when he controlled moat of it. On that note, I'd also argue that some sith had effectively immeasurable political power and Influence in this regard. Namely those that ventured through the unknown regions and wild space, places we know they've been and ruled, but don't know much about. For all we know, the unknown regions could be more vastly populated than the rims and core combined, and what we do know of outside republic space is terrifying, yet the sith have braved it and ruled in it.
You have read war of the bounty hunters then
I always saw it as a time where there weren't as many powerful Jedi and they had grown complacent during the centuries of no sith, Palpatine had Jedi that were easy pickings, back in the old Republic era they were a larger amount of powerful Jedi compared to now and they were constantly at war and ready for another. It was way harder back than to conquer the Jedi and Republic back then compared to Clone wars era

Hutt space belonged to the Empire. Huts were just the regional rulers with slightly more liberty than others. Palpatine left some factions to maintain power but they were still under him and part of the empire
Nobody ever talks about Dooku. He apprenticed under both Yoda, arguably the best light side user of all time, and Palpatine, arguably the best dark side user of all time. He defeated Kenobi twice, cut off Anakin's arm and stood his ground against his former master Yoda. Besides Sidious and maybe Anakin in his prime, he has to be the best combination of dark side user and swordsman.
Fr dooku was one of the best duelists of all time
He just lost because he didn't fought full hearted. He knew Anikin needed to defeat him. It was more to bring out anger and hate. He would of defeated Anakin.
@@Predash051 he wouldn’t, if you read the novel you can see dooku got overwhelmed after anakin thought Obi had died
I didn't think Dooku was a full Sith nor fully embraced the dark side..thus eyes didn't turn orange or red or yellow, didn't effect his appearance like many Sith besides the original red skinned Sith. I'm far from an expert on the subject just read a few book over the years. Great light saber duelist though.
Dooku didnt embrace either side. He was more akin to windu. Had windu fallen he would have been unstoppable
Great video! And I absolutely agree with the verdict, but it's a shame you didn't include on the list Darth Bane and Marka Ragnos. Especially Ragnos is very underrated, he ruled for over 100 years in a period where sith constantly tried to kill each others, even Vitiate didn't dared to challenged him. He's also one of the few sith that died of old age and even after his death his spirit continued influencing sith history. Personally I consider him the first sith emperor.
what race is that at 10:57?
Ragnos is an absolute beast not wrong
Darth Jar Jar had force-annoyance. The ability to upset everyone he ever came into contact with.
I feel Revan should have been on here somewhere. I think the fact that both the jedi and the sith in a time where there were many powerful sith/jedi speaks volumes to his power and capability.
Yes but if you think about it when he was a Sith Lord he really didn’t rule over much. He was like a Sith Warlord. He did a lot of fighting and had a strong army but the truth was he was just a puppet for The true Sith Lord.
He was‘nt that strong as a Sith Lord…
But later on he became very powerfull
@@ADreadBellow Very true if you want to get technical as he was somewhere in the middle when he had most of his power.
Revan is very powerfull, but Vitiate and Sidious would beat him in a force duel.
Only Tulak Hord would defeat Revan in pure lightsaber combat, while Sidious and Krayt would be his equal.
@@danmarusan2878 actually I don't know who would considering a miniature figuring siad revan was as strong as sidious and vilate and that was produced by Disney or Lucasfilm before being bought by Disney also revan was stronger when he dead then alive so you could make a case for revan
The transformation from the ancient sith species to dark Jedi is an important detail- The real sith, as you mentioned were a specific species and were wiped out hundreds of thousands of years ago. The sith we see in the movies and canon are dark jedi following the sith code.
Same with Mandalorians, originally a lizard-like species but now it's a code.
@@TheBaconWizard I have never heard that before daaamn
@@RaikkonenCEO yep yep! Wayyyy back, Mandalorians expanded out from their own planet (which they later lost) in a massive wave of military conquest, but of course they had finite numbers and so could not sustain even small losses over time.
However they would offer people who’s military prowess had impressed them a place among their number providing they committed to the code, and began the foundling tradition. Eventually there were none of the original species left.
It’s the source of the helmet design, it wasn’t for humans .
Thats not- oh my goodness. Lucas said that the Sith came from Jedi, and were ORIGINALLY jedi. They turned Dark.
Revan definitely deserves a spot on this list in my opinion, as I feel only Vitiate and maybe Palpatine and Krayt could beat him
Naga Sadow could kill him as well
@@joshuadouglass8225 potentially. Revan has some really big feats like desitegrating Darth Nyriss and his dark half refusing to die
@@Jits75 Sadow ripped the core of a star out and threw it at a planet
@@joshuadouglass8225 yes but Revan is the only force user to release the force in its puriest form which is extremely powerful. I think Sadow and Revan would be an excellent fight and could go either way
@@Jits75 no way Krayt could kill revan if Sadow couldn’t.
In canon it’s been said that Vader was the most powerful in terms of raw power and lightsaber skill but Palpatine held more knowledge and was pretty much equal to Vader in duelling. Of course in legends it’s Valkorian.
Yes, that’s true
Power is more then just physical strength and strength in the force.
Also valkorian literally got defeated many times..he is weak bro. He only prevailed after the mandalorian wars, the jedi Civil War, and the sith triumvirate. Less then 100 jedi by the time he struck
@@armaniwebb4467 Here is Anakin Skywalker before he (truly) becomes Darth Vader.
“Darth Vader will become more powerful than either of us!”
(Darth Sidious)
“I am becoming more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of.”
(Anakin Skywlker/Darth Vader)
“I am more powerful than the Chancellor! I can overthrow him!”
(Anakin Skywaker/Darth vader)
Revenge of the Sith
“Kanan said he was he greatest warrior the Jedi had in the Clone Wars.”
(Ezra Bridger)
“He was powerful. He rarely lost a battle.”
(Ahsoka Tano)
Rebels
“You’re lucky Anakin didn’t show up. The way you’re fighting, you wouldn’t have lasted long.”
(Ahsoka to Maul)
The Clone Wars s7
He has utterly overmatched and defeated Count Dooku in combat, who held a lasting fight against Yoda.
Was considered too powerful for Maul who’s held his own against Sidious and Windu.
And blitzed through the Jedi temple killing Jedi left, right and centre including Shaak Ti (a leading member of the council) and Cin Drallig (Battlemaster of the order), leaving the, once light side force nexus, permanently tainted with the Dark Side.
By Revenge of the Sith he is very near the level of Yoda and Sidious and considered to be one of, if not the, greatest force user of that time…and this was nothing on the power he wielded as Darth Vader.
His injuries had deformed his body, left it broken, but they’d perfected his spirit, strengthening his connection to the Force.
…
The armor separated him from the galaxy, from everyone, made him singular, freed him from the needs of the flesh, the concerns of the body that once had plagued him, and allowed him to focus solely on his relationship to the Force.
Lords of the Sith
Vader and Sidious both knew Vader to be far more powerful than he had been as Anakin. So if he’s far more powerful than someone who was almost the most powerful force wielder in the galaxy…
Plus Vader has:
Overpowered Sidious
Overpowered a Jedi Master more powerful than ROTS Kenobi (Kirak Infil’a) while flooding a city with the force.
Beaten all of the Inquisitors (possibly at once)
Held back an ocean with the force
Controlled celestial monsters with the force (and used them to attack Star Destroyers)
Killed the Ender (city-sized, civilisation-ending, monster)
Crushed an AT-AT with the force.
Wiped out squads of fighters with the force
Wiped out a swarm of vulture droids with the force
Vader took hold of another vulture droid’s belly and tore it open, then another. Clouds of buzz droids filled space with countless small explosions, wreaking havoc on the vulture droid swarm.
Lords of the Sith
Wiped out entire races with the force
Slaughtered Rebel armies
Wiped out killer droid infestations
Slaughtered hordes of lyleks
Vader raised a hand, fell into the Force, and loosed a blast of power that slammed into the lyleks on the ravine’s floor, driving them backward, partially back up the ravine’s side, and into those that came behind.
Lords of the Sith
Kept the Grand Inquisitor alive with the force
Cracked the crust of Mustafar (with the help of a force nexus)
Broke the force nexus he used to crack the crust of Mustafar
Created a whole new force nexus on Mustafar (life only returned to planet by TROS)
Torn open the entrance into the netherworld of the force
So those are some of Vader’s highlights. No other individual Sith has ever done anything like this (in canon).
Then you have Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren’s whole goal as a villain is to become as powerful as Darth Vader. In TFA he thinks that he will never be as strong as Vader
And finally, to cap all this off, Vader has explicitly been called the most powerful Sith.
“The most powerful Sith in the galaxy”
Fallen Order
“Through his veins courses the bloodline of the most powerful Jedi and Sith.”
(Referring to Kylo Ren)
The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary
“No.1 in the list of best red lightsaber wielders”
Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know (but only refers to lightsaber ability)
The only other Sith who is close to Vader is Sidious. But Sidious has never been stated to be more powerful than Vader, nor does he have any feats to suggest he is.
The two of them have clashed 5 times throughout the saga. Sidious only comes out on top in 2 of them. The first of which Vader didn’t even fight back.
The second time, Vader had literally lost his connection to the dark side (as stated by Sidious himself) and had just visited Padme’s grave. Plus he was ganged up on by Royal Guards.
And Sidious himself calls Vader’s powers unparalleled:
“You are a true Sith Lord Vader. Your dedication is unerring, your powers, unparalleled.”
Tarkin novel
So if that doesn’t prove Vader is the most powerful Sith in Canon then I don’t know what does. But at the very least this makes it impossible to prove that he isn’t.

My man pulling out Star Wars quotes like bible verses.
@@armaniwebb4467 The Jedi had rebuilt well beyond that by the time the Galactic War began.
I personally think vitiate was the strongest not just because of his accomplishments, but because his sheer presence was a leverage on the force. after his final death life on nathema, ziost and all the other planets he consumed returned and the force felt way lighter.
palpatine is easily naturally more powerful, vitiate was always over rated to me
Palps wipe the floor with vitiate lol,
Palpatine in dark empire scales to an insanely op Luke, and in order to defeat sidious, Luke had to be amped by all of Leias force power, and all the Jedi from all time to defeat his spirit
@@Sparkinator005 dude dark empire Luke and Sidious is all time best and fav 😍
if we include potentially most powerful sith lords, the answer has to be Darth Vader. If he had his full body, he most likely could have destroyed the Death Star with the Force if he wanted to.
If Vader had won against Obi Wan but still had that pure rage he gained after losing, he I would say Vader would probably more powerful in pure force strength than Nihilus.
I would argue and say Vader would have become a force entity like nihilus became cuz wasn't Anakin basically a force entity cuz he was created from the force

The issue with relying on drawing strength from the emotions or life force of your enemies is when you are facing droids, Like Darth Scourge for instance.
what race is that at 10:57?
Great video I really enjoyed it! Just one small detail about Tulak Hord. He was the Dark lord of the Sith during the early Sith empire aka the Golden age of the Sith, in centuries following the Jedi civil wars and the 2 Schisms after which the remaining dark Jedi fled from the order and started to rule over the species Sith. In these centuries all records of Republic were forgotten and Tulak Hord, aswell as the rest of the Sith empire, never met any Jedi nor knew of Galactic republic until the Great Hyperspace war during the rule of Naga Sadow.
Everyone seems to forget Nihilus Got his amazing force power from the same device that created Zion(the sith who was held together by the force) and the character you play in Kotor 2 who can wound anyone to the force and drain them and why Nihilus was able to be defeated. The Mass Shadow Generator on Malachor V was a freak accident that pretty much intertwined with these 3 Siths DNA when they were all fighting the war on Malachor V That made them wounds in the force and gave them all unique and amazing feats of power that were near unstoppable. Always enjoyed that lore.... they were basically mutated Sith lords.
And all 3 got trained by Kreia/darth traya who was also Darth Revans master. They basically were all groomed for greatness. Was sad how all that power eventually consumed each one of them way more rapidly then most Sith
The most powerful Sith, is whoever the writer wants. :P
Palpatine also almost brought down an entire rebel fleet of millions of ships with his lighting powers.
And legends he’s so powerful
I hear by the fact that Plagueis that you haven't heard his tragic tale
6:45
Yoda: "I'm about to ruin this guy's whole career"
I will always love the image of Naga Sadow destroying a star fleet with a freaking solar flare he pulls out of a star.
1:30 - King adas was NOT a Sith Lord!! Not a member of the Sith Order!!! He was just a leader of united sith (species) tribes of Korriban, wayy before "sith" meant something other than the species. The first Sith Lord of the Sith Order was Ajunta Pall, a human, who came on Korriban with his fellow Dark Jedi exiles after the second great schism in 7000's BBY. HE started the Sith Order, not a tribal leader who lived tens of thousands of years prior.
I've made a Sith Lord of my own that I use in Star Wars tabletop RPG's. The concept started with KOTOR2, but I named him Darth Avarice. Instead of anger and hate being the dominant emotions that fuel him, it's fear and depression. His iconic force powers are along the lines of Plague and Insanity, having long lasting affects on the psyche and body of his opponents. He is sluggish in movement, but fights with wreckless abandon, not really caring whether he gets injured or not. He's a master of Form V: Shien and implements Tràkata (disorienting feints by turning off the lightsaber and reigniting it mid strike) into his fighting style. I like to imagine that Darth Avarice's use of the force to cripple and demoralize his opponents to be as effective (but opposite) as Battle Meditation; on that big of a scale. He's not a flashy fighter, not the best duelist, and not even the strongest force user. Darth Avarice's strength is dragging his opponents to physical and mental exhaustion and keeping them there. He's not even trying to kill you, he's trying to share his pain with you.
He wears a long, obscuring black cloak and a porcelain mask with two faces intertwined and looking in different directions. On the back side of the mask are long, heavy, bladed chains that dangle like dreadlocks and constantly slash his back as he moves. The back of his robes are torn and frayed and what portions of skin you can see are heavily scarred or have open wounds. He spreads paranoia, sadness, and fear wherever he goes. It's a shadow that follows behind him and he's constantly seeking to spread that dread to the galaxy.
Greetings. My first time watching your content and I'm definitely enjoying it. Subscribed!
(For the contest)
My ideal lightsaber would be a sith Saber with a smaller handle with unique Zeffo type of designs on it, it would be a bronze color with white around it, the blade color would be red but it would have a short blade on the other side that is orange, (to represent energy and fire(it could also be black, to show darkness, hate, emptiness and aggression)). There would be handle guards around the emitter.
The design fits my personality, (not the colors seeing as I'm not a heartless killer) but because it kinda just feels right to me. Almost like a kyber
Wasn't the rule of two set specifically to "breed" the most powerful sith possible, as whoever survived of the two was more powerful than the one who didn't and Sidious was the pinnacle of this system, only surpassed in potential by a person borne purely out of the force.
That was the idea, though I always felt this basically left a single point of failure during the time where the master had just killed his apprentice or vice versa. After all Sith Lords aren’t immortal, and some catastrophic event like a ship’s engine exploding would kill even the strongest force user…
That was the thought..but there were cases where it was feared a master never found a rightful heir to pass on the knowledge, destroyed their apprentice and had to search all over again. With that, grew too old and was killed by a lesser apprentice thus still weakening. Before that there were clans that backstabbed, used subtrifuge, had in-fighting, and most stayed Mid. So I suppose the Rule of Two still was the better approach with Sidious being the pinnacle as you stated. Risky though without room for error.
you missed one: Marka Ragnos. He was so Powerful that no Sith or Jedi dared to Challenge him, during his entire Life.
Being the most powerful during a certain period doesn’t necessarily translate to being among the most powerful ever.
Darth Vitiate (Also known as Valkorion and originally Tenebrae) is not only objectively the most powerful, what with him sustaining his own life in some form for over 1000 years and literally stripping the Living Force from multiple planets, but he is also one of the most powerful puppetmaster/political figures in Star Wars. He not only manipulated and melded Revan AND Mandalore into becoming his tool to test the Old Republic's military strength for a total of two seperate instances, but he also built two empires at the same time more or less from the ground up. He equals and even outranks Palpatine in terms of both physical power, willpower, and cunning. His legacy was so profound, that by the time Palpatine came into power, he even credits Darth Vitiate as being the first sith to *Effectively* extend his life in ways not completely understood and create a fueled immortality.

Suggestion: For the sake of the viewers, it would be nice if there was a disclaimer a few seconds in advance when a picture of Abeloth comes into the video, just so one can look away.
This is for the lightsaber contest my friend.
My saber would be based on a draconic theme. The saber itself would be black with gold inlay, around the emitter would be the words "the force shall set me free" in high sith written in kittat in the same gold inlay, with my sith name "Darth Azgorath the Monolith" sewn into a leather grip appearing to be dragons hide wrapped around the handle. It would be a cross guard lightsaber, each of the other 2 emitters having being the same shinny black as the rest with 5 golden rings (either solid or in the say sith language and writing representing or spelling out) the other 5 lines of the code. The pommel would be a octagonal peace of dragons horn with the end cap being the sith symbol used as my PFP. On the hilt the switch to power on the saber would be ver similar to the Kylo Ren Force FX black series original switch, being quit hidden at the top of the primary emitter, it would be the peace with "Force" written on it. Underneath the grip would be 7 peaces of thin deacon bone strips coming up from the pommel, these would be painted red to represent the blood of my enemies, each one representing a different age of the sith. Adas to the Jin Jedi, Paul to Ragnos, Hyperspace Hyperspace War, Rain of The Sith emperor, The brother hood of darkness, Bainite era, and the rule of one under Darth Krayt. In between would ones again be repeated the sith code line by line in the same language and alphabet. The clip to hang it off ones belt would be 2 dragon claws attached together at the tips with a pen going between them at their base attaching to paint between the hilt and the pommel. The way to access the crystal chamber would be by undoing the dragons leather wrap and pushing down on the panel in reading "peace is a lie" this would press in and a door would pop open, the leather grip acting as a locking mechanism. Inside would be a red crystal, or (if you want to follow cannon crystal lore) a bled Krayt dragon crystal along with a place for a screw driver to boost or lower the energy emitted output. To the left the plasma flow would be reduced allowing for a more stable blade until it shuts off, the right would make it less stable and more powerful looking like Kylo's until the blade shorts out. The overall casing itself would be made of black cortosis.
Now to get into the nitty gritty reality, the saber would have a special tool that came with it to allow you to unlock and unscrew the pommel to access the batter pack. The pommel itself would act as the a speaker with heavy souter connections to the main hilt, this would be large enough to give a slight rumble in the hand as it is being swung and the volume would increase with the blade intensity as well as a volume switch in the crystal chamber. The entire system would be rechargeable with a USB hidden under one of the bone segments that would simply pop off, I would say the one representing the bainite sith and it would come with 3 battery banks allowing you exchange them for longer sessions. The crystal would light up using a laser pointer diode and the crystal would be exchangeable similar to the Disney system. The blades would be the best you could offer.
But ya, that's my idea, my lightsaber.
Darth Nihilus has always been my favorite sith lord and Asharad Hett turned out to be one of my favorite Jedi, and to learn that he eventually turns into a sith lord was dope too
What we’re talking about sith I realized that the rule of two always was in play no matter what. Mom got killed in the Phantom Menace, or so we thought so Palpatine brought in Dooku, who had grievous but grievous is in a sith he’s just a Jedi assassin. Then Palpatine ordered the death of dooku so that Palpatine could implement anakin as the second sith
As Bane destroyed the entire Sith army, and gave us the rule of two I have to go with him.
For being a large heavily muscled man his power and speed with a saber were insane. To dodge and deflect rain for I think it stated around 40 seconds before a drop hit him is crazy!
Bane was better in Batman Imo.
@@ciresolstice I remember that part of the book. In his prime Vin Disel would have been the perfect Bane.
According to George Lucas Palpatine was the most powerful sith of all time ....
Palpatine was definitely the smartest and most cunning of all the Sith lords, but he is still an old ass man. He didn't survive using hatred or anger (like Maul or Vader), but instead had to clone himself in order to come back to life, where he could only use force lightning.

Hon. Mentions:

Marka Ragnos
Exar Kun.
Somehow you made me cheer for Vitiate.
Personally, I'd say Viciate and Nilius are at best tied for potential and Viciate being THE best. After he drained Nathema, he was able to do it again without needing the ritual.
Vader was literally born of the force itself... he is the force
It's got to be Vitiate with Exar Kun as a close second IMO
Just fyi, Tulak Hord is mostly considered an amazing dualist because he more or less created form 2 lightsaber fighting in a time where everyone only had form 1.
No Bane? No Revan? And for everyone saying Vader, yeah he was a beast with the force and could swing a saber.. but no lightning, no life force absorption, I am glad that Nihilus was a point of conversation here thiugh
Vader gets to much credit and not nihilus
He can do all those things and even more in the comics. Like drawing force from the dead. The shows and movies just never include it which is annoying. Plus prime Anakin could swing his saber and hit a lighting bolt
What about Marka Ragnos? It is said his rule was the most prosperous of all, the only one stated as GOLDEN AGE of the Sith Empire.
The Imperial Remnant even tryed to bring him back from the dead (Jedi Academy game).
Surely Kathleen Kennedy is the most powerful Sith Lord ever as she destroyed the Star Wars universe.
Vader is somthing special
My ideal lightsaber would be: Darth Vader hilt, doubled blade, red and green + inquisitor ring
Love the long video
Has anyone ever told you that you sound like the main roadie from Waynes World 2?
I have to give it to Vader for all the INSANE beat-downs he's been through and survived it. I mean, after going through all the comics, it seems like Vader is just like the Energizer bunny (except in black and all evil, lol) where he's just been thought hell after hell after hell and come out stronger.
I will say, he went down like a b, however, with Palpatine. That whole death scene was a little too "vanilla" for me.
His suit was week to lightning. That's why he died
Fascinating to me that, when the Republic finally fell, it was through internal machinations. As someone who lives in Anerica, this has *very* interesting comparisons to certain events from about 17 months ago that are currently nack in the news.
Man they should've used that dark transfer thing to at least somewhat explain palpatine's return in rise of skywalker
Oh wait I just searched it up and he did do that
But what the heck is up with those cloens
I would also have listed the likes of Exar Kun and Marka Ragnos here.
Revan
You didn't mention Darth JarJar. Think due to his special power to hide in plane sight. Guess this makes him the strongest Sith of all time..

In my mind it’s between Ada’s and vitiate
Ada’s has too little feats but his Holocene alone causes Greta problems for Jedi who come in contact with it so his true self had to have been something to behold
he cut down the rakata on the battlefield with his own men
My ideal lightsaber would be mace windu’s lightsaber. I feel like as one of the few main black characters in stars it always gave me someone I could see myself in when I was younger look up to. he is portrayed as powerful, intelligent and has a dark side that that he controls with discipline. #giveaway #myfirstsaber #macewindu
Vader with all his limbs would have been out of control! More of a force entity then a with lord. But Vader in his suit drew on suffering to become a unstoppable force. His hate anger and pain were what he drew his power from however palpatine used those to keep Vader under his thumb not that Vader didn’t have a way to overthrow the emperor. As he stated to Luke together Vader and Luke would have been the most ridiculously powerful dark side team in the galaxy ever ! Anakin and Luke as Jedi masters together is also a mind blowing idea

I think we can all agree that Old Republic sith are overrated as shit.
People swear that characters like Nihilus and Revan could ever beat Palpatine.
I personally don't think Palpatine should have been shown with a lightsaber in ROTS, along with Yoda. I always felt they were both better showing other skills none of us had ever seen before(like Palpatine using force lightening in ROTJ).

3. Malagus

2. Darth sidious
3. Star killer

I only know the movies, and out of those, only one Sith has been Emperor: the main man, the one and only, Darth Sidious. Power levels, midichlorian count, lightsaber skills... none of it matters if you're not sitting on the throne. All hail the Emperor, Darth Sidious!
Sith Choosen One is Certainly the Strongest, all that is known and unknowns to other siths he knows it.
No Darth Revan? No Darth Plaigus? No Darth Bane? No Darth Vader?! No Kylo Rin....? Ok, never mind him.
11:45 in... I think and are guessing that it's the aspect of being FREE that defines a Sith. Breaking FREE of Chains that bind you so you can explore power to gain power. Of all the ones you haven't mentioned yet I think it's either BANE or EXAR KUN. Both were able to break their chains and free themselves from any other responsibilities other that obtaining power.
YOU FORGOT DARTH BANE!!

Everyone is skipping Naga Sadow. Truly terrifying sith. With the help of a chamber he could great illusionary armies thar could effect reality but you couldnt damage army. Not to mention start supernovas wiping out galaxies. Guy was broke!!! Lol
Its very interesting how u speak ! Sounds almost like 2 people
I always wondered if anakin had been properly healed and fitted with correct prosthetics and such would he have been more powerful now that he was inincumbered, less pain and suffering, etc or less powerful as learning to deal with the limitations of his body and his need to constantly block out the pain made his force powers even stronger
Have you heard the legend of dark plagues the wise
i personally think sidious was the most powerful due to the fact he created his own force power which was a sith wormhole in space that could transport an entire fleet of ships in mere seconds. (not that no other sith couldn't do this but i do not know of any other sith OR jedi besides grandmaster luke who could do that)
Don't worry Sith Lords are my specialty
