RESOLVED: In a fight to the death, Darth Vader would defeat Darth Revan

As I said in my third sentence, I did not refute any of my opponent's contentions because that would give me an unfair advantage. However now I will refute my opponent's contentions and then move on to my own. My opponent's first contention is that the only source that says Vader is the chosen one is a current one. Since when is this a bad thing? Current sources are based on all of the information one has and is the most reliable source. You wouldn't site a source for the U. S. economy from when Reagan was president. His next point is that Vader had little influence. This could not be farther from the truth. To understand why my opponent's statement is false, you must first realize that Vader was part of an established government. Almost all previous Sith Lords had been part of a move to take over the Republic. The key difference is that when you are leading a revolution your military leaders are on top of the chain of command. However when you are part of the established government on the defensive, political leaders, like the Grand Moffs, have more influence. Don't let this fool you, Vader was the second in the chain of command for the military, but much like the U. S. government, that doesn't mean he's number two overall. Despite what my opponents third contention says Vader tried several times to overthrow the Emperor, the most memorable time being when he fought Luke on Cloud City. After Vader's earlier attempts at this, the Emperor would often try to kill Vader, only to have his minions fail. Thus The Emperor himself realized that he could not afford to kill Vader, he could only thwart his attempts. Furthermore, Revan only trained with Malak, it was their minions that killed or turned most of the Jedi. Vader on the other hand, killed almost all of the Jedi that were left after Order 66. My opponent's fourth point is completely irrelevant since both Revan and Vader started off as Jedi (and as far as we know, Revan ended up a Jedi and forgot his Sith powers) Again, this point is completely muted based on the fact that Revan's skills varied depending on how you played the game. Furthermore older forms and weapons are often forgotten because they become obsolete. Do you see anyone using bows and arrows in wars anymore? Of course not. Now to defend my case My opponent agrees with me that Vader was one of the best fighters of his time. However there is nothing to prove that Revan was the best of his time. Revan was great at making battle plans, yes. However that does not make him a great individual fighter. In fact, he is never mentioned outside of the game at all. If he was so powerful, why isn't he on par with Exar Khun? In the cut scene where he fights Bastilla he is clearly retreating and on the defensive to a handful of Jedi Knights. That does not bode well for his fighting skills. Yes, there may have been a lot fewer force wielders after Order 66, however the ones that remained where hard to track down and some of the most powerful Jedi. Yet Vader beat almost all of them on his own. I would not say that Obi-Wan was ever a weak opponent. First of all, given all of their training he knew Vader's every move. Secondly, Obi-Wan was a Jedi Master of his own right and widely considered one of the best fighters second only to Mace Windu and Anakin/Vader. As for Vader being prepared, he was prepared for Luke. He knew Luke would be on the moon and that he'd confront Vader there. Furthermore he stopped Luke from attacking the Emperor. As for Han Solo, in Episode 5 Vader does block Solo's shots. As for Episode 4, it has always been known that perceiving someone's intentions in a space battle is much harder because of the speed and distance that everything is happening at. As for Revan taking on all of the Sith army, there was nothing unique about that. Similar situations happened before. In fact there were several scenes where Anakin takes on more opponents at once, sometimes by himself, than Revan ever did. And again, just to be clear, there is no evidence to prove that Revan went to the outer rim to become a Sith. He could have gone there to retire and live a peaceful life. Maybe he didn't even make there. We know he didn't have the Ebon Hawk anymore. Why? There is no reason to believe that the Jedi would not have Revan's midichlorian count numbers in the Jedi Achieves. No matter how you look at it, Revan is a Jedi at several points throughout the game, and thus they would have kept those records on file. Although Revan did have armor and clothes that benefited him as well, one must assume that the technology had advanced significantly over the millennium. Think about it? Does anyone still wear suits of armor? No, and that technology isn't even 500 years old, let alone 1000. Furthermore, Vader's suit was made from plastoid, not metal. Thus it would not conduct electricity.
