Star Wars Character with greatest Jedi Powers
I have to say Emperor Palpatine. Supporting Arguments:
1) Allegedly killed his Sith master, Darth Plagis, who was renowned for his unparalleled knowledge of the Dark Side. 2) When confronted by Master Windu and 3 other Jedi, he easily disposes of the other 3 and destroys Windu with Anakin's help. 3) Was victorious in his duel with Yoda. 4) Lights up Luke in ROTJ. Is killed only when Vader turns on him. This is at best a draw, since Vader couldn't handle the Sith lightning and dies as well. 5) His plot of using the Republic to destroy the Jedi and establish the Galactic Empire, nefarious as it was, was brilliant. All other Star Wars characters had glaring weaknesses exposed in their various head to head duels, including Anakin, Obi Wan, Yoda, Dooku, Darth Maul, and Qui Gon. Palpatine was the only consistent performer. What say you? |

Re: Star Wars Character with greatest Jedi Powers
I know
I'm trying to reconcile the fact that he was the bad guy we're all scared off as a kid with the fact we know now that he was a lovesick teenager, turned into a machine, and was so crippled by his artifical limbs he couldn't saber duel worth a [censored] later in life and couldn't use Force Lightning because he had no arms...

Re: Star Wars Character with greatest Jedi Powers
first of all i am not as educated with star wars as yall are so if i am wrong please just correct me and not flame me.
wasn't palpatine getting worked by samuel l. before anakin stepped in and saved him? and isn't the downfall of the darkside is using emotion when fighting? i dunno, it just seems like first of all someone from the darkside doesnt have jedi powers therefore can't have the greatest jedi powers but if you were to debate who were the most powerful then it would have to be between a jedi knight and not someone from the darkside. but i am probably wrong. |

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, everybody has a losing session every now and again. Jedi is a long term game, Palpatine has +EV. [ QUOTE ] and isn't the downfall of the darkside is using emotion when fighting? [/ QUOTE ] Anger clouds the mind so it can mess up judgement, although it is a very useful weapon in combat. Sith use anger and Jedi remain calm to keep clarity and focus. This relates very much to Martial Arts. [ QUOTE ] i dunno, it just seems like first of all someone from the darkside doesnt have jedi powers therefore can't have the greatest jedi powers but if you were to debate who were the most powerful then it would have to be between a jedi knight and not someone from the darkside. [/ QUOTE ] You have the Force which is just "there" and then two groups: Jedi and Sith. Both train with a lightsaber, how they use it is different. The Jedi meditate and try to 'feel' what the force is telling them and be at peace with themselves, where the Sith just use the force for their own selfish reasons. Both would have started out "Jedi", its just that "Sith" broke away and embraced the darkside where some original members didn't ... thus Jedi became a term for the light side, Sith for the dark. [ QUOTE ] but i am probably wrong. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe I am too, I have never been to a Star Wars convention, and only read one novel and none of the EU comics but I will say this. If I was given a choice, I'd choose Sith ... that lightening [censored] is too cool, if I had that power I would be zapping motherfuckers left right and centre every day. Me: "How long is the waiting list for the 10/20" Poker Boss: "There are 5 people ahead of you" Me: "What?" *zap* Poker Boss: "You're next" Me: "What?" *zap* Poker Boss: "I'll kick someone off the table for you" Me: "Thats right bitch, you will" [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] (now back to reality of me getting my ass kicked every day in real life) [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |
