    It would also be interesting to see the reasons why people picked who they did, so everyone is free to list their reasons as well.

    Revan!

    He kicked the Mandolorian's asses, he kicked the Jedi's asses, and laid the foundation for the entire Rule of Two.

    Vader was just an emo :p

    I'm going to hold off for now, but the answer is obviously His Imperial Majesty the Galactic Emperor or Lord Vader.

    Any other answers are simply incorrect.

    I voted for Bane - no Bane = no Sidious, Vader or others.

    I'm dissapointed Caedus isn't on the list...



























    ...cause it would be hilarious to see him get no votes :p

    So that punk who was Coruscant's first high school president is the best leader because without him there would be no chancellors or emperors?

    :p

    Revan.

    People followed Sidious, Vader and almost all of the others out of fear. People followed Revan WILLINGLY. That and Revan would probably be able to kick both Vader's and Sidious's butts with one hand tied behind his back. That and if it wasn't for his holocron, then Bane wouldn't have gotten the idea for the rule of Two. You could argue that all of Galactic history from the Mandalorian wars onwards was Revan's planning. Now that's power.

    I have to say Sidious because I heard that one of the WEG or a sourcebook said that he knew every single dark side power and then started inventing some. Now he may not be the most powerful(strength wise) but know all of that does rate him on the top of the greatness scale.




    *Watches as he misquoted accidently and gets torn a new one*


    It could happen.

    Nobody feared Palpatine. They loved him--remember that nobody knew he was a Sith.

    "Many regard Palpatine as a demigod" - CatCW
    "Without Palpatine, the Republic would collapse" - LOE
    "Soon the Emperor would die, and while the galaxy would bend from the horror of that loss" - ROTJ
    "Many see the Emperor as a beloved old man" - SWG

    Notably, his Force skills are rated as beyond possible comprehension--they are literally orders of magnitude higher than anyone else's. Others claim that Luke "beat" him, but his RPG stats (while directly meaningless, they're useful in comparison) place Palpatine leagues beyond Skywalker and anyone else.

    Revan was a chump compared to him. He didn't have access to many powers, nor was he as talented at using them.

    I wish Caedus were on this poll so I could give him his one sympathy vote.

    Edit: Although I voted for someone else (*cough* obvious), I think Palpatine has to get props for having actually succeeded at the goal every prior Sith failed at. And Krayt too, I guess, but meh, somehow I think Palps > Krayt because he was the original. :p

    They may have loved Palpatine, but the people never really saw him as a Sith Lord - Sidious is basically an alter-ego.

    Thus, he succeeded where the others had failed. He created Sith domination and nobody even knew it.

    People loved Palpatine because they believed his lies. People loved Revan because he was a Revan. He did not lie about what he was like Palpatine. He didn't lie to get people to love him. He turned almost all of the Jedi that followed him into the Mandalorian wars into Sith and they were willing to choose the darkside to continue following him.

    He didn't lie to his followers? Is that why he left them to rot?

    Deception is an essential Sith quality, and neglecting him to fall for the mary sue is silly. :p

    I actually don't know half of them. But out of the ones I did, I'd have to say Palpatine/Sidious because he was a Sith lord right under the nose of the Jedi and they didn't know it.

    Sidious got his butt handed to him by a teenager and a half-dead cyborg. He came back and got his butt handed to him yet again by said Teenager, now a few years older.

    Revan got BLOWN UP and still survived. He then came back and destroyed the Star Force practically single handedly. He then wiped the floor with said sith Lord who blew him up.

    Sidious was incredibly smart, perhaps even a genius, I'll give you that. However in terms of power and influence, I just don't think he even touches how amazing Revan was. I think Kreia said it best that when she looked at Revan it was like looking at the heart of the force. And As I said before, he chose the dark side, he didn't fall. He commanded the dark side, not the other way around. All of the other sith lords were controlled by the dark side because they fell into its lure.

    Darth Bane. Deception, reinvention, cunning, power...

    Some of the others are major hotshots in the Dark Side stakes too, but Darth Bane is my pick.

    I'm so torn on this poll.

    I don't think there's a clear cut answer at all.
