I love how much older Malgus looks from the most recent Cinematic compared to the first one. He’s also more… I dunno, wise. Intolerant towards others. I’m sure his younger self would’ve killed Zahar (green girl) or tried to manipulate her. Instead, he just drops some bars and leaves

[@ghoulknight1526]

Well, one was a sith warrior, who grew to kill and destroy the jedi but in the way he betrayed the sith and set out a path of his own. The other is the closest any living mortal being has ever gotten to a literal force god, he didn't care about anybody, only looking out for himself, creating multiple bodys and personas so that essentially it was impossible to kill. Both of them are a force to be afraid of. There's a reason why in all of the expansions, it's either Malgus or Vitiate who are the main antagonist (Vitiate is dead now, but up until this point he was the major antagonist). Probably that's why you like them so much. Because we know what they can do, but we also see their journey along the way (especially Malgus)

IMO, Malgus is the greatest duelist in the Star Wars universe. The four shorts that he is in give more than enough credence to that. He has one handed strength like no other, power through Jedi blocks and easily blocking their strikes. He also counterattacks at lightning speeds and can easily throw his opponent out of balance by using the Force in extremely well timed moments. He also uses lightning and rage to catch his prey off guard, and even when they have the upper hand in battle, he always uses that upper hand to grow their confidence and make them mess up, and then goes in for the easy killing blow. There are none like him.

Palps is highly overrated. He was the strongest as a manilpulator and schemer, and was more a jackl of all trades and master of none. There is a reason he had to get his master drunk and kill him in his sleep, he was not strong enough to do so head to head. Palp is considered the strongest because that's the way he was written by Lucas, because in the original trilogy, no others even existed or fleshed out. Today, there are plenty in canon that could have easily stood toe to toe with the Emperor. His accomplishments was clouding the Jedi Councils minds as he hid right under their nose. Nothing to scoff at, but that was his ultimate win. Manipulation, creating the clones and triggering them with Order 66, etc...his ideas, but not done by his hand alone. Vitiate had achieved what Palps wanted, eternal life. The ability to kill an entire planet and suck it's life force in seconds. Something some comic writer copied for Palps later on in something that is no longer canon. Truth is, Sith become weaker as a whole when the rule of two come along, their numbers thinned to near nothing.

[@Michael-kd1ho]

It was often the case with the Star Wars EU that the most dangerous Sith were former Jedi - Nadd, Exar Kun, the original Jedi exiles (Ajunta Pall and company), Revan etc. Malgus is an exception to the rule - he didn't "fall" to theDark Side, he fully embraced it. Ironically enough, he was more at peace with himself and his place in life than most Jedi. Vader is fundamentally diffrent. His greatest asset to Sidious was his supreme power in the Force - beng the Chosen One - but despite it all, Vader never fully embraced the Dark Side. He did what he did and served Sidious, because he simply had no alternatives - having lost everything he loved, the choice was between becoming a Sith or die, not strictly because Sidious would have killed him if he refused, but more because that's all he had left. Vader was filled with remorse for accidentally killing his wife - Malgus killed his wife deliberatly, who he loved, becasue he perceived she was a hinderance to his calling - to be an ultimate expression of the Dark Side, of conflict and war. Sidious himself remarked that Vader's ultimate weakness wasn't physical but psychological, and in all the years of his apprenticeship he tried and failed to weed that out of him. Malgus was not as powerful as Vader in the Force, certainly, and i very much doubt he could have been a serious threat to Sidious, but in the terms of Sith philosophy he was more "pure".

Just going to throw this out there darth nihlus would wipe the floor with palpatine. Palpatine as a sith is deadly because he's the greatest manipulator ever seen and incredibly smart which led him to near enough conqour the galaxy but he was no duelist palpatine despised lightsabers and believed true power is shown in your ability to utilise the force and actually wanted vader to use more of the force. So based of that knowledge yes palpatine could use a lightsaber but due to his favouring of the force. Due to nihlus constantly having to feed of the force and life essence the stronger the opponent was in the force the stronger nihlus got. Which is why the fucker could bleed an devour and entire planet nihlus could also hold his own in a duel so realistically palpatine would only get weaker the longer the fight goes on.

@@jolla9963 Since this is a legends debate, Palpatine was faking it according to the novelization of revenge of the sith. It was an act to get Anakin to turn against Windu. Also, Malgus wouldn't really be able to do anything to Palpatine who is far and away more powerful in all categories. Malgus may not be able to tolerate weakness, but there isn't much he can do when faced with someone more powerful than himself.

[@Jim54_]

George Lucas is clearly a student of history. Palpatine seems to be a well put together combination of Hitler, Stalin, Julius Caesar, Caesar Augustus, Caligula and Diocletian. George also seems to have mirrored historical events when writing about Palpatines plans, for example, Order 66 is an obvious copy of the Night of the Long Knives. This is very effective, as it makes the events in an otherwise unrealistic fantasy land seem very plausible. The fans who criticised the prequels obviously knew Fuck all about the world around them to not see that!

[@jordanturner7917]

Malgus, Vader, and Revan are the TOP sith characters ever and the only characters they need to be worried about making movies of right now. Such strong characters. Malgus would make a great movie.

Force Maelstrom ... like "mouse strum" - e.g. Akkadese Maelstrom in the Kessel sector which Han Solo flew through to achieve his 12 parsec Kessel run. Caling it "male storm" ... it's not raining men for Darth Malgus

Dromund Kaas was great. If someone was a dark lord or a lackey. Not so much if they’re a nobody. He reminds me of our word.

[@ds698]

He became my favorite character next to Vader and Fett, once SWTOR came out and those crisp ass videos…and then his lore I was like fucking aye man!!!

[@DJBop86]

Just wanted to say that it’s “maelstrom” (rather than “mael-storm”) - meaning a powerful whirlpool or also used to mean a kind of violent turmoil

[@MidWestRiverRat]

Thank you

[@kestonwelker5187]

Who would win in a fight between him and Vader? I’d assume Vader and I’ve seen many say Vader over him. But I want y’all’s opinion😁

[@TBAL83-Social]

Original Trilogy (OT) defined Star Wars and OT characters get much hype accordingly. In a hypothetical clash between Darth Malgus and Darth Vader, I would bet on Darth Malgus. Darth Vader managed to shatter large objects and structures to achieve desired outcomes? Darth Malgus have done the same. The latest SWTOR cinematic (Disorder) actually shows Darth Malgus shattering the entire Temple after obtaining the desired artifact. The scale of destruction he left in his wake is not shown on-screen though. Darth Malgus is extraordinarily learned in the ways of the Dark Side. He was able to hold his body together while being subjected to forces that would be sufficient to kill virtually any living being. Satele Shan and her allies tried to kill him on Aldeeran with everything they could muster to no avail. Other enemies threw him into the reactor shaft of the Emperor's Space Station but he managed to come back in one piece. For perspective, Darth Vader threw Palpatine into the reactor shaft of Death Star and Palpatine lost his body in the process. It looks like Darth Malgus has corporeal immortality of sorts. Darth Malgus also created new powers including Force Maelstrom which is one of the most intense and destructive combat-focused applications of the Force. Palpatine discovered the archives of Darth Malgus and learned to create a Force Maelstrom through his teachings - this is something to write about because how many can teach Palpatine new tricks? Palpatine was able to create massive Force Storm(s) after mastering Force Maelstrom. Imagine this. Darth Vader have limits when it comes to handling powerful bursts of Sith Lightning. Darth Malgus could create very powerful bursts of Sith Lightning much like Palpatine because these two learned to channel their HATRED to fuel their power on the level many Sith Lords could not, and Darth Malgus could create a Force Maelstrom when pushed too hard. Darth Malgus is well-equipped to fight and overwhelm Darth Vader through this mechanism alone.

just gonna put this out here... Disney missed making Vitiate every Sith Master through out Starwars History, learning of the rule of two he could have learned to bide his time being in the shadows making sure his next host was strong enough to endure his essence.

[@0errab0]

Malgus was born into the Sith Order and was a Fanatical believer in Only the Strong Deserve to Survive and that Power was most valued above all else. Palpatine would have been slaughtered by Malgus the second that Malgus realized that Palpatine feared direct confrontation with the Jedi and preferred to attack them indirectly using pawns. There are many that compare Malgus to Vader and outside of their uses of cybernetics, the similarities end there. Malgus is what Vader could have been if Anakin Skywalker had truly embraced being a Sith. Anakin only became a Sith because he had no other option after his attack on Windu (saving Padme was just going to be the icing at that point). I argue that Malgus would have shredded both Palpatine and Vader for their apparent weaknesses.

[@bobthegoat5005]

But isn’t Beating someone through deception and lies equally virtuous as killing Jedi according to the Sith philosophy

[@mathieulefebvre7812]

Never been a malgus fan maybe thats how well they made him grew up to despise him but he would make a formidable vilain in an upcoming triology if there would be any . Anything from the " old " era deserve more light on the screen . I get vader is a fan favorite but showing up that lore on the screen would be fantastic
