[The Devil Man]

Okay, Your Good Friend Devil Man really, REALLY needs your help, people!

I was recently watching the ENTIRE Star Wars saga, back to back, in one crazed 15 hour session. I was like this by the time it finished --->

One thing struck me throughout the series. That Darth Vader is a bit of a wuss and no way near the bad-ass I always thought he was.

My question is this: Who is the most powerful Darth in the WHOLE of the Star Wars History? Like... this includes everything! Including all the games, films, cartoon series, comics, etc, etc... who is the most powerful Darth to ever have existed?

I read somewhere it is Darth Revan, who was one of the first Darth's, but I aint too sure Can anyone fill me in on this?

Edit Or maybe it was Darth Krayt who is a Post-Darth Vader Darth and pretty evil. See link in a Post Below.

May The Force Be With You (Hee hee! )

It was long ago when I watched Star Wars, and I stopped watching it when it went 'kiddy', so I'd still say Darth Vader.

[Twilight Edge]

Vader owns all.

[Paro]

Darth Revan is pretty badass

[McLovin']

Revan. I was such a good Padawan.

Do you mean the most powerful Sith, or just the most powerful Sith to take on the title of Darth? Either way, whatever Azar says is right.

See, I've become bit of a Star Wars geek in recent weeks. I was watching the scene where Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine tells Anakin about the very first Darth who was worried about his family and discovered the 'dark side' etc, etc... (I may have got a little mixed up there. It was late at night).

Anyhoo, I was more interested in the history of the Darths so I dipped in and did further research to find out more. For anyone else who is interested, this is a list of the Darth's:

All the Darth's

And now I am trying to figure out who was the most powerful Darth of them all. But I get confused with all the Sith stuff at the same time. Because I thought a Darth was representative of the most powerful Sith's, right? At any rate, Darth Vader wasn't the most outright powerful Darth of them all. Darth Revan was a heck of a lot more powerful and probably more evil:

Darth Revan

And their was a female Darth, who was pretty darn evil, Darth Talon who came way after Darth Vader:

Darth Talon

And out of all of the Post-Darth Sidious Darth's, Darth Krayt was very evil and, ummm, very bad:

Darth Krayt

So yeah, I am trying to work out who is the most evil Darth/Sith and who it is that actually represents the Sith philosophy and beliefs.

As I said... I am becoming bit more of a Star Wars geek in recent weeks so I am interested in this!

Darth Revan is from the Knights of the Old Republic games, and he is definitely very cool.

MAJOR, MAJOR, Crucial, Key, Game Spoiler:
Spoiler: 
But after being mind-wiped he returned to the Jedi (well, you get to decide in the game whether he does or not, but officially he became "good" again) to stop his former co-conspirator and apprentice Darth Malak from taking over the galaxy.


Hopefully we will get a final KoTOR game to answer the question of whether Revan's turn to the Dark Side was visionary genius on his part or a totally misguided quest for forbidden power.

Actually the KoTOR games have some pretty nifty Darths, but in terms of power I'll go with Darth Sidious from the movies. This guy succeeded in taking over the galaxy and making the Chosen One his puppet. He effectively eliminated the Jedi Order that had survived for thousands of years. How much of that was his Force abilities and how much was simply his intelligence and cunning? It's hard to say, but the results are devastating and unmistakable. His one flaw was allowing himself to grow overconfident over his hold on Vader. Oh, and IMNSHO he pwned Yoda.
