Star Wars: Darth Revan vs. Darth Vader, Who is The More Powerful Sith Lord?
Darth Vader may be a powerful Star Wars villain, but Darth Revan gives him a run for his money in raw power alone. Which Sith Lord is more powerful?

Darth Vader is the poster boy of the dark side of the Force in the Star Wars films. He’s Palpatine’s prized goat and the most iconic character in the sagas so far which is weird when one considers that he’s a villain. Suffice to say, not many Sith lords can match him.
One does come close, however– Darth Revan from the Old Republic. Even though they’re thousands of years apart in the Star Wars timeline, they’re both powerful Sith lords and share the same defining features. Both wear masks and love long flowy black capes. Both also had intimate connections to the Jedi. Still, there can only be one ultimate masked Sith lord, let’s see who deserves the title…
10 FORCE POWERS: DARTH REVAN
How powerful Darth Revan is can be a huge subject of debate as George Lucas still seems to be conservative on which version of him to retain in canon and in Legends. Even so, going off from the Revan presented to us in developer Bioware’s Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game, Revan is pretty much Darth Vader and Palpatine rolled into one.
Revan, at one point, became the ultimate Sith, the one with the apprentices. His force powers were also unmatched in his prime, being able to use any aspect of the force from lightning to the more standard telekinesis. He’s the complete Sith package.
9 LIGHTSABER SKILLS: DARTH REVAN
When it comes to lightsaber combat, it’s also pretty close between the two. Most people never really got to see Revan digitally in his prime but the comic books and stories involving him did paint him in a more menacing light than Darth Vader.
It would seem that Revan’s Force powers were so strong that he can wield two lightsabers proficiently using the Force alone in addition to the one in his arm. Hence, his fighting style with the lightsaber ought to throw off Darth Vader’s more conventional approach.
8 LEGACY: DARTH VADER
Darth Revan lived an unnaturally long life which was more or less 400 years. However, 300 of this was just imprisonment and Revan didn’t leave much of a legacy after he died on the light side of the Force.
Anakin or Darth Vader, however, was the Chosen One by prophetic right and he did bring balance to the Force. Moreover, he spawned some additional Skywalkers to continue the Skywalker saga which will surely live longer than Revan thanks to Disney insistence.
7 FEATS: DARTH REVAN
Apart from lasting several lifetimes which is impressive for a human, Darth Revan was also quite the war hero back in his Jedi days. He practically ended a longstanding war caused by the Mandalorians.
Moreover, he managed to defeat those who betrayed him, lost his memories, get re-trained by the Jedi, gets fractured into the light side and dark side version, and destroy himself to become one with the Force is the stuff of, well, legends. It makes Darth Vader’s Sith tenure seem monotonous.
6 ENEMIES: DARTH REVAN
Darth Vader’s enemies? They’re mostly the fractured remains of a weakened Jedi Order. Some notable pariahs and fugitives here and there, his own son and daughter, Obi-Wan, and his own master. Not many of them seem that threatening, at least compared to Revan’s enemies.
That’s because Revan’s even Revan’s enemies hold him in high regard which is saying something because the most dangerous among them were several Sith lords. That’s also in addition to a strong Jedi Order and Mandalorians at their prime.
5 KILL COUNT: DARTH VADER
Here’s another difficult category in measuring the power of the two Sith Lords. There’s no official tally of how many people they’ve massacred and how it affected their notoriety in the galaxies.
Revan waged war on both the Sith and the Jedi while he was a Sith and assumingly killed countless people. Vader, in his shorter time as a Sith Lord presumably also killed innumerably. Vader’s introduction to the dark side, however, was more notorious because it involved killing defenseless children so he wins here… which isn’t exactly something to clap about.
4 MEDIA APPEARANCES: DARTH VADER
Darth Revan was first introduced in a Star Wars video game back in 2003. Darth Vader long existed before him in the real world, several decades earlier, and has had several movies already.
Sadly, the only time Revan has appeared in digital form was in video games. Meanwhile, Vader has appeared in all forms of media imaginable from films, tv shows, comic books, and of course, video games.
3 POPULARITY: DARTH VADER
Yet another win for Darth Vader is just how popular he was both in his own universe and the real world. Vader was pretty much a household name in the galaxy thanks to his penchant to knock at everyone’s door using a lightsaber.
Meanwhile, he’s way too ubiquitous here in the real world. Darth Vader comes in the form of toys, cosplayers, and even household materials. Darth Revan simply doesn’t enjoy this kind of treatment from the general population.
2 FEAR FACTOR: DARTH VADER
Around half of Darth Vader is no longer human after numerous extensive battle scars and injuries. He pretty much became a cyborg shortly after joining the Sith (because of Obi-Wan). His mask and helmet were also made to resemble a certain WWII fascist group’s army helmet.
This is a lot more relatable and fear-inducing than Revan’s edgy and shady hooded masked man attire. Vader’s darker get-up coupled with his machine voice and labored breathing that everyone can recognize makes him a more fearsome figure.
1 WINNER: DARTH VADER
It was a close match but there can only be one lord of the Sith. Darth Vader takes the trophy home as the top Sith Lord thanks to his symbolic design and bigger impact in pop culture. His accolades in his own universe are no slouch either.
Darth Revan might never be able to surpass Darth Vader’s mass appeal and popularity but his rising fanbase and more colorful life still make him an interesting Sith lord and worthy competitor to the established heavyweights of the Star Wars movies.
