@darthor:
True, but it does mean that Muur is quite powerful enough to match Vader.
No it doesn't. If we both want a football and you pull a pepper spray from behind your back and spray me in the eyes, that's not something I can account for. It's not you being better or more skilled, or even comparably so. It took Morne's power plus Muur's plus over a dozen Rakghouls with blasters that could turn Vader with a single scratch just to drive Vader off.
Thats not a fair comparison. An amulet is created based on the inner abilities of the character in the force. If the pepper spray is something that I personally created, and you know I'm coming at you with it (Vader does), then I think that still means that I can win in a normal fight
Also, Morne was actively fighting back against Muur per multiple sources, so Muur in full power is still above Vader
Kun is quite powerful in Jedi Academy, and can easily contend with Kyp.
Not in raw power, he can't.
True, but raw power and real power are very different.
If Muur is only a small boost for Vader to overthrow Sidious, then there is no reason why Muur will become the new master.
I've explained that above.
Me too
This argument simply doesn't make sense. You conceded yourself that Vader is already close to Sidious in ROTS, and Muur is superior to this version of Vader.
Again, not true.
How is it not true? The Talisman is a straight possessing ability. If it can work to opponents far greater, then Valk can possess the Bedlam spirits. Its even harder to possess somebody then to resist it.
Also, Vader was not afraid of the power of the Talisman. He knows not to take it. He is afraid that he will have the serve Muur after killing Sidious.
...Yes, consistent with his fear that he'll be mentally enslaved, not that Muur is more powerful. That's pure headcanon.
True, but if I can beat you to the point that you becomes my servant, I will still say I am more powerful
And I don't see why this doesn't scale up to Revan, as EoO Revan >>>>>>>>> Muur, and logically above Vader, who is close to Palpatine
Because you're trying to apply a no limits fallacy to this.
Let's put it this way. Imagine Sidious is 100, and Vader is - let's say - 80. Vader is already a very real threat to Sidious, and has the power to threaten him. Muur comes along and is - let's say - 10, but 20 if we factor in his forbidden knowledge (which is a significant part of his hype).
Vader takes the talisman, wears it for a time, learns from Muur, and becomes his slave. He and Muur then combine their power - with Vader doing most of the work - and kill ROTS Sidious.
However, to do so, Vader has already surrendered power and control to Muur. We see this in the case of Valkorion and the Outlander, where giving a spirit too much influence or control can let them take over, even though your willpower is too strong for them to dominate:
"My spirit invaded your body in search of a new host. You resisted."
Exactly, Muur is not just the 20, he is superior to this Vader. If not, then theres no reason why he can enslave Vader in the first place
-
The Talisman is naturally corrupting, and possessed by a master of Sith sorcery and alchemy, areas that Vader falls significantly short in. Vader knows of Muur's reputation, and his abilities, from his research.
True, another reason why Muur will beat Vader, his superior force sorcery
What is happening here is that Vader is worried that by physically bonding with the Talisman, Muur may find a way to take control and possess him. That's not a matter of Muur being more powerful. That's a matter of Muur either A) being stronger than he expects, B) being more cunning than Vader expects, or C) using Sorcery and Alchemy to take control.
What? The quote is pretty straightforward. Muur is above Vader, thus, if they kill Palpatine, Muur will become the master.
Also, Pall is confirmed above Muur as he is the leader of the Exile. Given Muur's treacherous nature, theres nothing to suggests that if he is less powerful than Pall, why he will not take control of the Exile.
There's no evidence that Muur was interested in leading the Exiles. Quite the opposite, actually. He was a scientist and was more interested in alchemy. As I recall, there are also strong implications that he either equalled or surpassed Pall.
Can you possibly post some of these implications? Also, Muur is Pall's shadow hands, so I doubt he is more powerful.
Ajunta Pall beheaded their ruler, Hakagram Graush, and claimed the throne as the blood heir to the ancestral King Adas -- and we became his Shadow Hands.
Book of the Sith
Heck, even Syn, who is confirmed below Pall, has the ability to make an artifact stated to be twice as powerful as the talisman.
Going to need a statement for Syn actually succeeding, or doing so without it being forged by or with another Sith.
He probably didn't. I just reread some passages.
On another note, scaling Revan - at least KOTOR Revan - off of Pall is sketchy ground by itself. Pall was a heavily weakened Sith Spirit who avoided using the Dark Side and could barely string together two sentences.
Thats not the basis of my scaling. The entirety of the Exile's powers aside from their Jedi training (which is pretty average) is the Star Map, something that they fear. And the Star Forge is infinitely more powerful than the Star Map and Malak can control it with ease.
Also, Malak >> Kun >> all previous Sith
