One nerd correction, Sidious didn't hold back against Windu. He wanted to kill him asap but Windu was a master of Vaapad, a forbidden lightsaber style that uses the enemy's dark side power to power your attacks. It also gives you foresight, being able to see all weak points and predict where the enemy will attack. Windu was without a doubt one of the most dangerous lightsaber users to have ever lived, which is why his death is so freaking stupid.
@@mikeor- Exactly everything was Sidius's plan, making Anakin sit on the Council knowing hed not be made Master, used his love of Padma to break him more and anyone can tell Sidius was holding back against Master Windu its why he screams "Unlimited Power" he needed to make Anakin involved, he knew he was coming and just needed one more push.
Bruh the title is the most dangerous Sith 1. Vitiate (immortal Sith emperor who will one day destroy the entire galaxy) 2. Sheev ( force storm could literally tear holes in time space) 3. Nihilus (devoured planets) This list is all jacked up
This is my list: 1. Darth Sidious (who was basically a Force Lightning Demigod and created the evil Galactic Empire) 2. Darth Vader (the most famous villain in cinematic history) 3. Darth Revan (a Jedi and a Sith, using both sides in moderation to defeat Darth Malak) 4. Darth Plagueis (he could influence the midichlorians and create life) 5. Darth Bane (always two there are, no more no less; A Master and an Apprentice) 6. Darth Malgus (creating Force Storms) 7. Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus (could use lightning, and one of the greatest duelists in history) 8. Darth Maul (weakened during the Clone Wars) 9. Darth Desolous (who killed 20,000 Jedi) 10. Darth Phobos (built the Sith Temple on Malachor V) Darth Nihilus, Darth Sion, Tulak Hord, and Vitiate are not Canon, and power is more important than vitality could ever be. Revan lived to be 356, and he is number 3.
By right, it SHOULD be pronounced 'Reevan' because of the spelling. If it was meant to be pronounced the way you prefer it, it should be spelt Revvan. That's a fact for you iliterate kids out there.
Darth Vectivus is not Canon, and I don't want him to be. Because if he was, he would ruin George Lucas' ideas that the Sith are evil. Darth Vectivus was different, and I don't like him.
Fox Scout Gaming. Also why is Darth krayte never mentioned. He. And Luke did team up and kill abadoth a force entity that is the strongest thing in starwars
Mct219 Nihliius survived on the consumption of force sensitives which is why his hunger was killing him. He couldn’t subsist for long draining non force sensitive planets.
@@GannerRhysode It was Naga Sadow, I believe, that could cause stars to supernova and destroy entire star systems, with the assistance of his meditation chamber. Far outshines what Sidious could do with a wormhole.
He says soooo many things wrong, but I suppose when the videos come out daily, I can’t complain too much, though I’m sad he never had the chance to see Star Wars, and very sad he never got to play KOTOR (and will never get to without knowing the story already)
I am the Senate But Nihulus was more efficient at destroying lives. The Death Star needed thousands of members and far more time. And Nihulus didn't have to worry about a vent port problem.
I am the Senate What about Krayt? Sure the previous Sith lords hated him, especially for getting rid of the rule of two, and he was desperate to get Cade to save his life, but he was also pretty powerful.
As far as I know (mace windu being the exception....maybe) no Jedi or sith has ever died from just a fall, no matter how high. And since maul was cut in half before his fall, and still survived, I think it entirely plausible windu survived as well.
I dunno. Windu was hit pretty hard and was cought off gaurd. I don't believe he suffered the full "planet melting" blast of force lightning. But he still made a grunt noise on his way out, which means he was at least alive, if not cognizant when he went out the window. Just my thoughts on the matter. I certainly don't have any evidence. I did see a comic once, that showed him hit a few walls on the way down and use his rage to land on the street. He then marches off with his broken and lightning scarred body possibly to become snoke
Vitiate is one my favorites of the Sith Lords. He wasn't just a simple Sith Lord, full of hate, etc. He, in his own words, was more. Very well thought out character.
@@shanehallusa He held his own after being shot with a bow caster. I would imagine if he was never shot, the story line would have ended after The Force Awakened. She wouldn't have stood a chance against a fully healed Kylo.
Kylo Ren is not a Sith: He doesn't have yellow eyes, and nor does Supreme Leader Snoke. Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, and Darth Maul all have yellow eyes, and in the Clone Wars, so does Dooku.
Your second mistake is Darth plagueis higher than Darth bane. There's lines of dialogue in books where Darth plagueis is talking about how he wouldn't hold candle the anciant sith Lords of the old republic like Darth bane, not to mention Darth bane used a extremely difficult force ability in a dark sith ritual known as a thought bomb that killed every single Sith besides him in the Galaxy at once. Star wars and the force are kind of like Naruto in that sense it diminishes with time and all the people of the old republic most certainly would have merced pretty much everybody who existed from the clone wars era and beyond besides a few exceptional cases like Yoda, sidious, and Luke Skywalker. I guess you could also say it's kind of like Fable in that sense the Jedi were the "heroes" and eventually they just became unneeded.
Darth bane gave the thought bomb ritual to the leader of the sith army. The only ritual I remember him performing was force lightning that he stole everyone's energy for. He is probably my favorite sith Lord lol
@@terryowens3860 Bane was still physically present on the planet as the bomb went off, and like Rain/Zannah actually survived it, unlike all other Jedi and Sith on that planet. Majority of Bane's other feats however involve planning, or come from being empowered by the Orbalisk Armor. I'd still put him higher on the list than he is though, and certainly above Plagueis, who while had a lot of fine control of the Force never used it in actual combat once, being instead the true mastermind behind the Galactic Empire.
Darth Bane might not be dead, he learned the art of force transference from Darth Andenndu. HE won the fight with Darth Zannah by transferring his spirit into HER body, destroying his body and her spirit in the process.
Revan needs to be MUCH higher on this list. That guy, whether Jedi or Sith, was the Alexander The Great of Star Wars, especially in terms of his tactical brilliance. Also, Simon, to help you pronounce Revan's name right, here's a little tip for you: his name comes from the word "Revenant," meaning a spirit of vengeance. In fact, his full title is Darth Revan, Lord Of Vengeance.
"One master must embody the power of the Dark Side, and he must take an apprentice to continue the Sith Order. There must be two, no more, no less. Together, they may attract legions of minions, but true power will remain concentrated. Always two there are, no more, no less. A Master and an Apprentice." -Darth Bane.
@@DT25659 No the most Sidious could do was come back to life through clones of his self on the outter rim and a host to jump to when he died. Vitatie could make a whole solar system his host bodies so even in death he was immortal, the only reason he died in swtor was because the main character went in there own brain and killed him from the inside and that was only his apparition so he could still be alive in the films for all we know Snoke is but a body of the real emperor. all in all vitiate could just consume Sidious and then all of his clones there after just adding to his life force, most Sidious could do is try force lightning him but vitiate can use force mass barriers to stop force powers and Lightsabers even coming near him, he would have to use the death star or a star fortress to kill him.
Not immediately, or you would never have gotten off Ziost; Vitiate on all planet-sucking feats needed to build up to that, even as he's tossing mind-controlled puppets at you he's building up in the background. Nihilus did it essentially by instinct, no one beats his mastery of that power. Vitiate was still far stronger than Nihilus in all other aspects. Sidious was built up a LOT by Dark Empire, that's where that "rip the space-time continuum apart" thing came from, though Sidious barely could control the Force Storm, hence why he got killed by his own storm (that body at least, that wasn't his final death unlike what's hinted at here, there's a Dark Empire 2 after all). Personally I'd put the top three as Vitiate 1, Ragnos 2, Sidious 3. And probably push Bane up a few notches. And also add Exar Kun to the list, in the mid-tiers. Naga Sadow, while cool, I'd leave off still.
I'm a pretty full on Star Wars and I say you did really well at summarising an extremely complex topic! Bits and pieces were slightly wrong, but nothing that cant be overlooked! Keep it up!!
Exar Kun should have made the list. He was a Dark Lord of the Sith, during the era of the Old Sith Wars. *NEEEEEERRRRRRDDDDD RAGE!!!!!!! joking aside, Exar Kun has always been one of my favourite Star Wars characters I have always enjoy the graphic novels that have involved him. Overall this video was a fun list to watch.
The Dark Side has nothing to do with fear. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.
yes Passion is the key word, which can be anything from love to hate to fear and so on and the Jedi taught against love there philosophy was basically to stay numb, but really the only way any of the Jedis won against a Sith is when they got angry, Obi Wan went into berserker mode to beat Maul, same thing with Luke Skywalker against his dad Anakin/ Vader, Vader mentioned his twin sister and Luke went berserk and defeated him. So it proves there is only passion.
And the light side has nothing to do with love or even truth. Both sides believe themselves to be correct and honest depictions of the way the force is ment to be used. And both jedi and sith lie but for very different reasons. Someone who wields the dark side of the force would say that the sith may lie to others for personal gain but the jedi lie to themselves.
Fear is a path to the dark side fear leads to anger anger leads to hate hate leads to suffering. Fear has everything to do with the dark side it is the first step down the dark path
@@budman_0493 fear can also lead to thr light as fear leads to understanding which leads to growth and empathy. As a fear of oneself leads to becoming a better version of oneself and the ability to understand the fear of others
And in regards to the fight between Darth Sidious and Mace Windu, Mace Windu was able to defeat Sidious in lightsaber combat relatively easily as Mace had created a lightsaber form (the name of which currently eludes me) which was an adaptation of another form which directly drew on the Darkside. Mace Windu's form required the Jedi to basically skirt the edges of Light and Darkside power, this allowed the Jedi to use an opposing Sith Lords power in the Darkside against themselves, the more powerful the Sith was with the Darkside, the more powerful the Jedi using Mace Windu's form became. Anakin once requested to learn this form from Windu, but was refused because Windu as well as Yoda were very concerned with Anakins tendency towards emotion and personal connections, since properly using the form without falling required the self control very, very few Jedi, even among masters, are capable of.
I think Nihilus is often underrated...! He should be at least among the top 3. His pure presence was enough to kill the population of whole planets and consume their force and life energy...!
Here is a correction: Sion Dooku Revan Bane Vader Plagueis Tulak Sidious Vitiate/Valkorion Nihilus. Now the reason i put Nihilus the number 1 on this list is because of his draining ability, we don't know whether Sidious or Valkorion can resist the drain.
Rhys Burai in a contest of mass killing yes (mainly referring to nihilus), 1 on 1 no. Revan could've held his own quite well, however he has less margin for error, Nihilus while skilled may be tier 3 as a duelist (Kit fisto and the like) and tier 1 as a force user, we know that both Sidious, Vitiate, and pre-Vader anakin could resist force drain, the first 2 mentioned could use it on a similar scale with more difficulty. Revan is certainly powerful but most of his ability is hinted at through statements (although he has no shortage of feats) the heart of the force seems to be referring less to his power and more his knowledge and attitude, think Qui-Gon Jinn, he followed the will of the force, his power does not come from being a chosen one or being extremely force talented, it comes from his intelligence and balance. When you use the dark side it consumes you, you may be more powerful but you also no longer exist as you once did, Revans the better way to be, Vaders the better combatant (to quote jensaarai1 in his Yoda vs vader video.) Nihilus has feats unlike most, however this only comes into affect in a setting slanted to him or if the opponent cannot resist force drain, and all 3 previously mentioned could and likely would. Vader couldn't drain the life from a population, however he could slaughter most in a 1v1. Nihilus is a biological nuke, Revan a shotgun, Vader a tank.
BillYLikespewdiepiexxxxxxX20 Darth Revan is just slightly above Dooku, Darth Vader would defeat Darth Revan. MAYBE, Revan Redeemed would stand a chance, Revan Reborn would defeat Vader, and SHRevan (Shadow of Revan, or Revan the returned) would stomp Vader. I am the Senate Wrong. 1 Two things i want to point out is, there is FORCE DRAIN, and LIFE DRAIN, which Nihilus knew both, Nihilus' planetary drain was force drain, whereas Vitiate's was life drain, and a ritual too. So again, we don't know if Valkorion or Sidious can resist it. My opinion is they can, but let aside my opinion since it is not a fact, and it hasn't been proven that they can resist it. 2 This is false. I haven't seen anywhere in the book of Sith stating such information, which page was it? 3 Nihilus' drain was insta kill. Considering the Katarr incident in Unseen Unheard, ''When my lord spoke, every living thing on Katarr died'' this clearly proves it to be insta kill. It was stated he can ''consume planets with just a thought'' this also makes it insta kill. Traya FORCE DRAINED the Jedi masters in the ruins of the Jedi enclave instantly, which proves again it is an insta kill. He failed to kill Traya because he had no intentions to kill her. 4 On this, i will agree with.
There's not even two E's!!! Where is he getting the hard e sound?? Seriously "Reevan" there are only 3 video games and 2 novels centered around his story how could he have never heard the name??
Darth Vitiate I never said the list itself was correct. I said the piece was well researched. I was genuinely shocked at just how much detail they pulled for a channel that doesn't focus exclusively on Star Wars. There were several bits where when they mentioned them I was surprised because only hardcore fans spend that much time researching it.
Beat them in direct combat? No, but Sion could not have beaten Revan either... outlasted him, probably, but not beaten him. Nihilus and Sion are very similar in that regard, they are mediocre in all aspects but that one that they do better than anyone else (yes, Nihilus did the Drain better than Vitiate even; Vitiate needed a whole ritual to do it, Nihilus did it practically by instinct, that doesn't make Nihilus stronger than Vitiate). Darth Vader was extremely powerful, even with his limitations... but even so I kinda agree when it comes to Revan. Revan was largely what Vader would have been without his limitations.
@@Sacremas yea if vader wasmt given outdated prosthetics and actually allowed to customize his suit the way he wanted then he would be on revans level and maybe surpass him, but as he was the limitations, especially the built in lightning weakness puts him lower
Oh, so wrong list. Here my list. 1. Vitiate 2. Freedon Nadd 3. Marka Ragnos 4. Tulak Hord 5. Sidious 6. Revan 7 Bane 8 Vader 9. Nihilus 10. Malgus - List about raw power - 1. Vitiate 2. Bane 3. Sidious 4 Revan 5. Vader - List about Most complete power and vise - 1. Revan 2. Tulak Hord 3. Bane 4. Sidious 5. Malgus
BillYLikespewdiepiexxxxxxX20 Honestly, I took "Dangerous" to mean more than just combat power. I honestly think she was probably more dangerous than most of the Sith on this list, considering she nearly accomplished a plan that would have destroyed the Force. Kleizar I understand that, but, you do realize her master plan was to destroy the Force itself? How do you get any more destructive than that?
The novels suggest that Palpatine was not holding back but that Mace Windu was unique in that he had developed his own style skirted the Darkside and that no one else could have done it.
I have a few gripes with the video, but foremost among them is the inclusion of Darth Bane. You yourself mentioned in the video he was killed by his apprentice Darth Zannah, so why did you leave her out completely? Not only that, but aside from Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, none of Bane's successors - all of whom were more powerful than Bane - were on the list. Why? In the _Darth Bane_ trilogy of novels it is explained that Bane's Rule of Two system functioned as follows: A master would train an apprentice and teach them everything they knew. When there was nothing more for the apprentice to learn, they would challenge the master to a duel to the death. If the apprentice lost, they were deemed too weak and the master would take on another pupil. If they won, however, they would assume the mantle of Sith master for themselves, then select and train an apprentice of their own. The inevitable byproduct of this system is that each generation would grow more powerful than the last. Bane was surpassed and killed by Zannah, who was surpassed and killed by Cognus, and so on. In the novel _Darth Plagueis_ - which details the exploits of the penultimate member of Bane's lineage who also happens to be the titular character: Darth Plagueis; as well as his apprentice, Darth Sidious, prior to and during the events of _The Phantom Menace_ - it is revealed that the cycle of killing your master, training and apprentice, and being surpassed yourself, has continued for a thousand years and there have been 30 consecutive Sith Lords in a linear line each more powerful than the last. This is as Bane intended it to be, and that fact is echoed throughout many other works in the _Star Wars_ universe. It is one of those fundamental, inarguable cornerstones of the mythos that has been regurgitated in the source material for almost two decades now. So the obvious question is the one I pose to you now: How can Bane be included in a list of the ten most powerful Sith Lords, when by his own design there are twenty-nine Sith, each more powerful than Bane by way of irrefutable fact? It doesn't work. Bane can at best be the last guy in a top 30 list, but never any higher than that. My second issue, and this is completely unrelated to the previous one, is the claim that Darth Nihilus used the Force Drain ability like no one ever has. This is in my opinion an incorrect estimation. While Nihilus is monstrously powerful with the ability, his displays still fall short of the greatest Dark Lord who ever lived: Emperor Palpatine. You accurately acknowledge his supremacy amongst the Sith, but aside from Force Storms, gloss over his greatest showcases of Force mastery. One of them is his subjucation and life drain of the people of Byss. Shortly after the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire, Palpatine started luring eager nobles to the idyllic world of Byss. This would be a trap, as upon arriving, Palpatine would take hold of their minds with the Force and turn them into mindless slaves of will. He would then start feasting on their life energy to extend his lifespan in his bid for immortality. More and more citizens were transported to Byss as time went on, and as soon as arriving there, the Emperor destroyed their minds and started leeching. All this is detailed in the comic _Evasive Action: Recruitment_ as well as various guidebooks such as _The Official Star Wars Fact File_ and _Dark Empire Sourcebook._ The reasons why Palpatine's feat is greater are as follows: He did this to a far greater amounts of people than Nihilus did. In the end Byss housed almost 20 billion people, as opposed to the meager population of Katarr numbering only a few million at the time Nihilus consumed them. The next reason is that Palpatine employed other Force powers in conjunction with Force Drain. Nihilus simply devoured their life force, whereas Palpatine used complex telepathic powers alongside his draining ones. The third reason is that Sidious never got addicted to feeding off of others, whereas Nihilus became a slave to his hunger. The fourth and biggest reason is the fact that Nihilus had to manually travel to the planet he was looking to drain, meaning the range of his powers only extended to planetary distances. Emperor Palpatine on the other hand could feast on the people of Byss no matter his location. The range of his abilities covered the entire galaxy, and he was maintaining the feeding for almost three decades in a row. Take any comic, book or video game, or even the original movies, and he is at the back of his mind leeching on the helpless people of Byss as they endlessly fuel his power. The fifth and final reason is that this of course means the feat takes no effort on Palpatine's part, and as such means it is not even close to his theoretical limit with the power. Nihilus on the other hand had to exert maximum effort on draining a much smaller amount of people, and even then there was a survivor, indicating that killing them all was beyond his ability. Sidious' feat is greater in its scope, magnitude, the level of effortlessness as well as range. No contest.
@Alvin Walters and the greatest troll of the month award goes too Alvin Walters for his riveting argument that forced me to rethink humanity and question my own existence.
Like a petulant toddler throwing its toys out of the cot! They made a clip about your favourite thing but it wasn’t perfect and It appears you are so obsessively self entitled your psyche can’t handle anything that Isn’t
You've put together something that was fascinating to watch. That was a great way to learn about Star Wars lore! I wish they'd make movies about THIS instead of how Death Star plans were acquired.
Out of that list you presented I’m surprised Vader even made top 5, he was powerful but had just too many weaknesses not to mention being in conflict with himself the whole time.
Palpatine did make Vader’s armor like that, but he was multiple times offered to have it upgraded to prevent things like lightning, etc. Along with that Vader didn’t Upgrade it, because it caused him lots of pain giving him more power.
It seems that most people don't know enough about the Expanded Universe version of Darth Sidious. He was OP and George Lucas said he was probably the most powerful sith ever.
lol what? You call him Reeevan a few times then suddenly start pronouncing it right a bunch of times. You really couldn't take 5 mins to redo the start of the speech to say his name correctly? Production value
Ok, Simon is a great narrator and orator, he is excellent at talking and explaining many things. We all have faults and Simon's fault is that he cannot get past his UK accent in order to pronunciate names correctly from the Star wars universe. Please give the guy a break. I understand Simon has that British arrogant attitude, but just remember we are all human.
"Im... (cough) Impossible. I... I cannot be beaten. I am the Dark Lord of the Sith! Still... (cough) Still spouting the wisdom of the Jedi I see. Maybe there is some truth in their code after all. I... I cannot help but wonder, Revan, what would happen, had our positions been reversed. What if Fate had decreed I would be captured by the Jedi? Could I have returned to the Light as you did? (cough) If you had not let me down the Dark Path in the first place, what destiny would I have found? I suppose... I suppose you speak the truth. I alone must accept responsibility for my fate. I wanted to be Master of the Sith and ruler of the galaxy. But that destiny was never mine, Revan. (cough) It might have been yours, perhaps... but never mine. And in the end, as the darkness takes me, I am nothing." -Darth Malak.
