Old Republic Vader Vs. New Republic Vader! Hope you all enjoy part 1 of the “Darth Malgus Mini-Marathon.

You forgot to mention the time Malgus scream shattered the eardrums of those around him and buckled the hull of a star crusier.

You incorrectly state Malgus has never faced offensive telepathy, but in Onslaught he fought Gnost-Dural, seeing through his illusions. "Gnost-Dural is a master of mind-tricks. Do not let yourself be deceived." "These are illusions, nothing more." --Darth Malgus to the Outlander during the fight with Gnost-Dural

If Darth Malgus was hunting me I'd just save him the time and effort by ending it all myself cuz ain't no way in hell am I taking him on at any point in time 😂

Malgus would probably focus only on the lightwhip and just tank the shit out of all the non-lethal strands, which Lumiya would not think any sane being would do. Tanking any non-lethal damage to get in a lethal hit like he did against Zallow.

Jensaarai, GreyJedi, Rico, Antoine, Reti, myself, Pre-2020 Evan, literally every versus maker: "Malgus' style is never confirmed in any source, but he looks like a Djem So practicioner." Old Republic Encyclopedia: *Am I a joke to you*

Every time I see a video featuring Malgus I'm always reminded how much I underestimate the bastard. He's insanely powerful.

Evan: mentioning the Hero of Tython Me, pretending that he's mentioning Darth Nox instead: =)

Worth the wait! So excited. Stay safe all Jedi and Sith out there! Much love from Dantoonie

After you finish the Malgus series, I have a few versus series suggestions: 1. Embo Vs Bossk 2. K'kruhk (Grandmaster )Vs Qui-Gon Jinn 3. Vader Vs Malgus

This was a very well-made video. At first glance I thought that Lumiya would be the victor (Very unorthodox weapon, greater speed and flexibility, being able to contend with Luke Skywalker), but when you brought up their force abilities, and how she considered herself to be lacking in the telekinetic department, I could definitely picture Malgus rag-dolling her if things were not going well for him in the sabers department. Otherwise, this long time versus series fan's glad to see more of your upcoming work.

Yoooo Evan!! Thanks for another great Matchup. My money is on Malgus

Now this is an interesting matchup and more importantly an interesting clash of styles. Hope you or the other Fanalysis council members consider these potential matchups: Rahm Kota vs. Plo Koon or Lucien Draay Shaak Ti vs. Mara Jade Saba Sebatyne vs. Oppo Rancisis Teneb Kel vs. Ferus Olin Aurra Sing(Legends) vs. Ventress(TCW+DD)

very well! nice video and, as always, Malgus kikking ass! don't know which other 2 opponents can hold his own against Malgus, so just to throw some name in: -Darth Malgus vs Anakin Skywalker -Darth Malgus vs General Grievious -Darth Malgus vs Shaak Ti -Darth Malgus vs Exar Kun -Darth Malgus vs Darth Zannah -Darth Malgus vs Darth Sion

Oke, now I am seriously hyped for the upcoming vids, even more than I thought I could be... great video and very awesome match xD A couple of suggestions: Aryn Leneer (given the Malgus Marathon, it might fit) vs Shado Vao, both are exceptionally skilled and renowed Jedi of their times, despite being not along the most well known Jedi. Wolf Sazen vs Lord Vindican (again fitting for Malgus), Vindican faired of against Darach, who just so happens to be a Zabrak master I see comparable to Sazen (and I'd just like to see an Sazen analysis). I like the Legacy era.

Still don't get why people feel a need to compare Return of the Jedi era Luke to Vader. It is like don't you people get Vader was toying with Luke? Because you know Vader and Palps were still working together to turn Luke to the Dark Side right? That isn't a fair comparison. Because if we just take away the fact Vader is still working to turn Luke to the Dark Side and if we take away the inner struggles Vader was dealing with during his fight with Luke. If Vader came at Luke with intent to kill Return of the Jedi era Luke would have been slaughtered. Change my mind.

If a wookie and a human have equal mastery when it comes to enhancing their physical prowess with the force, wouldn't the wookie still be stronger? Since he has 10 times the strength to begin with and only increase it further with the force? I mean if both can enhance their physical strength by 1500%, their physical bodies would still matter. Or doesn't muscle matter when it comes to enhancing the body through the force? I always assumed muscle mattered since Bane instructs Zannah to use fast style instead of strong style because she is physically weak compared to him.

+EvanNova95 I have a potential matchup in mind: Revan and Malak vs Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Two brothers vs another pair of brothers. A master and apprentice vs another master and apprentice. I hope u reply and possibly see potential in the idea keep up the great work and stay safe.

Satele Shan was saved *twice* from being killed by Darth Malgus, and she was one of the most powerful Jedi... and he beat her without problems, that's how powerful and skilled he is. When i played TWTOR, i was very disappointed in the dungeon which forces you to kill Malgus instead of giving you the option to join him.

Thanks Evan, looking forward to this one! Glad you continue to make content!

*Hello There*

I'm gonna call it that one of the two next Malgus matchups is against Cade Skywalker

Excellent as always, master Nova.

thank you for another amazing video, can't wait for the next one :D

So the only potential lore correction I have to make here is that we don't know how Malgus survived. Initially BioWare did want it to be that he was carbon frozen by the Eternal Empire, but they did away with that and had that end up being one of the rumors of how he survived along with that Empress Acina found him in the debris of the station and revived him via cybernetic reconstruction before placing him under the mental conditioning that we learn about in Onslaught. The only other correction is that Acina is pronounced with a C-sound rather than a K-sound, so Ah-See-Nuh rather than Ah-Kee-Nuh. This was a spectacular video and I'm looking forward to the next two confrontations between our main man Malgus and whoever his next opponents will be.

Awesome just Awesome and a bonus that it the video is between two of my favorite Sith can't wait for the rest of the Malgus beat down Marathon.

Great to see this coming back in to my feed. Now I have tons of great things to listen to while I pretend to do work from home XD

Finally, a new vs video. I feel like ive binged all the good ones

Greatly enjoyed the vid man, much respect 🙏

I do find it interesting that Lumiya operates as almost exactly the combatant most optimized to overcome it. A pattern fighter who operates by picking apart the stylistic flaws in her foes, while at the same time being a maverick, with a radical style based of shock and awe.

here is a idea for a vs video arcann from the old republic vs Anakin Skywalker

28:40. Hold on now, the Hero of Tython, without even counting in-game side quests, has fought more than their fair share of lightsaber-wielding opponents.

Oh my.... this is the battle I've been looking forward to.

Loved this episode!

Yay. New material to dig into. I can't wait.

Anyone else get a feeling one of the matches is probably going to be darth Malgus vs Kyle katarn???

A very good matchup indeed. It would be a very intense fight as well. It was quite entertaining I think! Very good!

I love malgus. And you did a great job whith this video I really enjoyed it👌🔥

Good to know you're staying safe Evan. I await to see what is next. May the Force be with you

Yes! Lumiya finally! Been requesting her since 2015 I think? I hope you'll bring Leia or Ben (Skywalker) into the ring some time soon too!

"Don't ask me how it works it was never fully explained." Thanks Evan you summed up everything involving Star Wars since Force Awakens came out

Dark Jedi Desann vs Jaina Solo Edit: Excellent work Evan

Really enjoyed this...

You've gotta love close fights. Especially when two opponents have decades of experience under their belts. By the way, Malgus can also use tutaminus, at least when absorbing blaster fire.

Can't wait for the next video!

Good video as always

Well done! Though I would love to hear you talk about other characters you don't usually talk about, such as Darth Maul, Darth Malak, Darth Revan, Bastila Shan, Luminara Unduli, Aayla Secura, etc.

Liked before I even started watching ;) I know this is gonna be good. I'll let you know what I think once I'm finished watching it :)

A suggestion! 😁 Darth Malgus vs Kam. I can’t remember Kam’s last name but he helped create the three rings of defense and it would be interesting.

Love these vids...

This was such an interesting much! And I always wanted a match involving Lumiya

On the note of Darth Vader violating the Rule of Two by training Lumiya, the very existence of the Inquisitorious made that a moot point. Sidious by this point didn't care about really preserving the Rule of Two so long as a Galen Marek didn't happen; instead concerned only with attaining his ascension to Godhood (like a good Tzeentch disciple).

Great work Evan.

Amazing video. :) You should be on the Rule of Two podcast with Star Wars Theory and Marc Fernandez from Collider. You would be an excellent guest to interview with your dedicated Star Wars knowledge. :D

One critique I have for your analysis of Darth Malgus (bear in mind this is my own theory) is in regard to his tunnel vision. Yes, he has suffered from it on more than one occasion, but consider this: Immediately after being defeated by Satele Shan, Malgus engaged a pair of Jedi and bested them. Then sometime later, during the sacking of Coruscant, Malgus engaged multiple adversaries at the same time. None of them were able to take him by surprise. What this tells me is that Darth Malgus Overcame His Tunnel Vision... at least to a certain degree. Could someone still exploit the environment against him? Perhaps. But I seriously doubt it will be as easy as many have suggested.

42:05 That honestly sounds like a mixture of Force Illusion and Tutaminis, and possibly Force Barrier, which says a lot of how powerful this lady was.

Great video 👍

Huh what a thrilling conclusion! This was one of the few times I was actually concerned for malgus sake and even sort of favored his opponent but i was surprised hoe much of a march they were for one another despite their different applications of attack. I agree with the conclusion all and all but my respect for the dark lady has only grown. Hmmm, lets see as for some potential fights.. Darth sion vs Durge Darth andedu vs Lord momin Mace windu vs any named Yuzzhan vong character you’d think would be up for the fight.

42:03 That honestly sounds like an advanced application of Tutaminis alongside Doppelganger illusion. Or in the very least, a Force barrier, similar to what Worror did before dying to protect Johun Othone from Bane's lightning on Tython.

42:02 WAIT WHAT?! That sounds like a really useful power that likely was never built upon!

I really wish you uploaded more often. Seriusly. Love you evan.

Also Malgus vs Lord Hoth, Kas’im, or Mac Windu?

It ticks me off that the Malgus Reborn set has symmetrical arm equipment.

good video so far

Great video as always. How about Revan vs. Exar Kun?

Vader seeing Lumiya after reconstruction Hey baby, wanna share feeding tubes xD

long time no see? nice to have this VS videos back, or have I just missed them? :o

I one time wondered what would happen if these two ever met. XD And this actually makes me wonder who would win between Dark Lord Starkiller (the darkside fully embraced version of Galen Marek shown in the non-canon darkside ending and dlc of the first Force Unleashed Game) vs. Lumiya.

Great video. Any idea when the next Star Wars Fanalysis video will be out and/or what it's about?

*treaty of corosant happens* Darth Malgus: It smell like b*tch in here

I think Mara Jade and Jaina Solo Fel should be in more of your awesome videos!

I agree with your assessment.

Mornin evan! Can you could make a playlist with all the versus series episodes? have a great day and keep up the good work!

Wow this is a hard match to call both are incredibly strong.

What do you think could of happened in the Expanded Universe had the story continued past the death of Darth Krayt how would the future of the galaxy unfold and how would you make it?

If a Jedi/sith survives 2 or 3 fights with lumiya her lightwhip style becomes useless. Luke hears she back and says "I guess I need to get my shoto." This proves 2 things about lumiya's style. First if you live though the encounter she's not likely to get the edge twice. Second Jar-kai style fighting used properly can counter and even beat her IF you've fought her before. I would also note lumiya had her cybernetic butt handed to her the last three duels and Luke just let her go for reasons (he's the Jedi grandmaster he not just gonna straight up nuke her).

My boy Malgus bringing the W.

Darth Marr and Vader VS Lumiya and Malgus

Playing on their pain of loosing so many friends and their secret fascination with the darkside seems to be the go to for alot of the darkside idiots the dark times. Count Dicku, Sora Bulkhead, and Jason Stullo and I'm sure I missing at least two.

Assuming that the Ilum arcs of every playable character in SWTOR is happening at the same time then Malgus was fighting all of those characters and depending on your play style their crews of companions as well.

Ven zallow vs Lucien Draay. Sylvar vs Arryn Leneer. Cal Kestis vs Darth Wredd. Ki adi mundi vs Agen Kolar. Kit Fisto vs Quigon Jinn. Quinlan Vos vs Wolf Sazen. Cay Qel Droma vs Teneb Kel. Arryn Leneer vs Depa Belaba. Barris offe vs Bulgar Swan. Antares Draco vs Jaden Korr. Galen mArek vs Sora Bulq.

Cool. Both are great fighters. Malgus might be able to win, though the Lightwhip would be a challenge for him.

Good match up , thx for the vid , but i think that the heavy armor Malgus wears would play a larger role in the martial part of the combat , small metal chains and pieces of leather would almost be a joke against that type of armor imho , and if Malgus decided to just grab that stuff directly ( which given the heavy armor around his forearms he could do ) , then Lumiya would be kind of screwed and her weapon would turn into her demise. Luke and Mara and the rest , had problems against her weapon because , they had to avoid the phisical part of the weapon on top of the enrgy part , with Malgus , just 1 good grab and its instadeath for her i think.

You also stated that a single blade could counter her whip if sufficiently skilled. Malgus has that in spades AND to spare. He is minimum council level AND a sith. So malgus would WRECK her especially because her hide tendrils would be less that flea bites to him even on his face the only real point they could hit.

I like Star Wars and The sith who are the coolest bad guys

Malgus wasn't freed from carbonite on Ossus. He was active again long before that, as Darth Acina had resurrected and kept him as a secret weapon long before that after the battle of Ilum. He's actually credited with having been the one who helped Acina take the throne.

An interesting match up for Malgus would be against Galen Marek considering how similar Vader and Malgus are. With Malgus being more agile and not as weak against force lightning as Vader could Malgus stand a chance against Marek

0:00 To paraphrase another KZfaqr that I have recently started watching: This guy tanked a mountain busting blast at point blank to the face, then dug himself out of that mountain and killed 2 Jedi, all while in base form. Lumiya would die!

Holy shit you said my name right on the first attempt you sir are in the top 10% of the world that can do that ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏🙃🙃🙃

If one goes into stasis like Malgus or Revan you stay the same age you were when you went into stasis but your power in the force can grow.

Why does it seem that everyone serving under Vader ends up losing limbs and being replaced with cybernetic transplants lol

Hi Evan, I've been wanting to get this together for a while now, but after you've finished with the Mini-Marathon, would you be interested in a podcast talking about certain topics regarding specific star wars characters? here's a list of potential topics: -Darth Vader is not 100% Powerful -Mace Windu character analysis -potential matchups featuring personal favourite characters -obscure force abilities -Analyzing duels from non-film Star Wars media (books, Tv, video games and comics) if you are interested please let me know as I plan to ask everyone in the council forcecast If they are interested, I'm also interested in interviewing every member of the Council regarding their stance on specific aspects of the star wars lore and any other franchises they are fans of.

Some possible battles for Darth Malgus: Darth Vader: Jensaarai1 did a great analysis of Vader versus Malgus years ago, but there were some important factors left out that could change the verdict. First, there is my own personal theory that Malgus overcame his tunnel vision, given how it hasn't been used against him since his loss to Satele (correct me if I'm wrong). And most importantly, he did not mention Malgus' Force Malestrom which Vader doesn't have a counter to and it would have defended him against Vader's telekinetic attacks. Darth Bane: Though Bane is generally held in higher regard, I think Malgus would defeat him due to the fact that Malgus is a seasoned warrior with multiple Jedi kills to his name while Bane had had only a handful of serious duels. That being said, those duels were against high caliber force wielders, so this could be interesting. Anakin Skywalker: Anakin may have better lightsaber technique, but I think Malgus would win due to his greater experience and use of Force abilities during combat, but it would still be fun to analyze Kyle Katarn: Do I really need to explain why this would be an interesting fight? Shaak Ti or Plo Koon: Blade to blade, I could see it going either way with either combatant, but I'm not sure how well either of them could handle Malgus' force abilities

When I saw the thumbnail I quickly concluded in my own head Malgus would win against Lumiya, but it would not be an easy fight. Edit: I still watched the whole video as I wanted to see Evan's full opinion.

Always had respect for lumiya but before watching this I thought it would've be a one sided slaughter in Malgus' favor but after this I'm now confident in my shear admiration for Lumiya.

You should rank all skywalkers (including solos) weakest to strongest I would really like to see that

Man...I hate when I get my head cut off.. its just so painful and uncomfortable

Plz do a video ranking all the skywalkers

Some spoilers for Naruto Shippuden: This dynamic reminds me of the fight between Sasuke Uchiha and Danzo in Naruto Shippuden. With Sasuke(at that point in his timeline) and Malgus being rage-fueled punching bags who tapered their raw power with a tactical mindset. And, Danzo and Lumia both being unorthodox fighters and grand scale manipulators who combine a rare skill set with esoteric techniques. The fight even ends in a way similar to what you described with Sasuke nullifying the benefits of the Isanagi by using his familiarity with the Sharingan and every other factor between the two of them being either a draw or tilted in Sasuke's favor.

Count Dooku vs Darth Malak. Darth Maul vs Lucien Draay. Darth Wredd vs Quinlan Vos. Darth Azard vs Lucien Draay. Darth Nihl vs Cay Qel Droma. A’Sharad Hett vs Quinlan Vos. Anakin Skywalker ( Padawan) vs K’KRUHK ( I concede that Anakin has more power and natural talent, but K’Kruhk’s physiology, emotional stability and experience evens the field.)
