To review: Both are considered great tactitians and/or strategists. Both are known for trying to limit collateral damage. Both may have taken power to try to prepare the Galaxy or Republic for an outside threat (Sith, Vong). Both may have been overreliant on a single secret base (Wayland for Thrawn, the Star Forge for Revan), though this is disputable. Both were defeated due to treachery from a subordinate during the heat of battle (Malak, the Noghiri bodyguard). So I'm wondering weather anyone else has noticed the similarities between the two characters, and weather anyone thinks that the character of Revan might have been influenced by Thrawn. Also, if the two were fighting against eachother with equal forces, who would win?

At the top of the first post, right side, there should be "add a poll" button, next to "reply".

Anyway, my money is on Revan, simply because of the Force. I voted for Thrawn probably wins, and it was only "probably" because of the Force. Really, its said what a great tacitian or strategist Revan was, but I don't think we know many details, since their's not much on Revan outside of KOTOR. Also, Thrawn dealt with Force users on multiple occasions. He was able to manipulate C'both (poorly though, and C'both was apparently insane), and he was able to threaten Luke and Leia on a number of occasions. He also, of course, beat the original C'both in Outbound Flight with inferior forces. Thrawn would expect Revan's advantage and would take measures to counter it. Also, Jedi/Sith precognition is not infallible, and Revan has not to my knowledge demonstrated the abillity to actually damage ships with the Force. His advantage in battle would be limited, and easily countered. Thrawn's advantages are less predictable, and less easilly countered.

Of course, Revan has more than just the Force. He was also supposed to be a skilled commander. Don't know if he was Thrawn's equal, though.

Thrawn repeatedly managed to counter Force users in battle. Unless Revan is strong enough to simply destroy star ships with the Force, or the two are evenly matched in terms of tactical/strategic skill, it won't change much. « Last Edit: Oct 14, 2009, 5:37am by thelastadmiral » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged "At an end your rule is, and not short enough it was". - Grand Master Yoda "Trust no one." - The X-Files Forum Jump--------------------» Home--------------------» Star Wars Films--------------------- Episode I: The Phantom Menace- Episode II: Attack of the Clones- Episode III: Revenge of the Sith- Episode IV: A New Hope- Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back- Episode VI: Return of the Jedi- Animation: The Clone Wars--------------------» Other Star Wars Boards--------------------- Other Star Wars Topics- Before/After the Movies (EU)- Star Wars Games- Star Wars Trivia- Fanart & Fanfilm Board- Role-Playing / Creativity Board--------------------» Site Boards--------------------- Announcements & Updates --- The Jedi Archives- Newbie Board- Site Suggestions & Help- Social Board- Life, The Universe & Everything- Forum Games & Fun
