"He is already dead, it is simply a question of how many he kills before he falls." Darth Traya
Strong words.
Awesome statement
It took Nihilus and Sion to take on Darth Traya.
@@scottross5495That was before he became as strong as we know him for otherwise she wouldn’t have been his hype man for the entire game
Precisely
Drain Life was hardly unique to Nihilus though. What was unique about his Drain Life was the sheer scale of it
yeah. he did it instinctively. anyone around him would get instinctively drained, and when he was focused on draining something, he was insanely powerful with it.
@@harryhoudini9613so basically it all comes down to who was more powerful in the force? I’d still put my money on sidious
@@BrothaMan831hasn't it been stated all the ancient sith are way stronger?
@@majora919stronger warriors to be sure, but palpatine went the way of the force master rather than warrior, so its a different type of strength, blade on blade and he'd get smoked tho
Hehe
Fun Fact - The hunger was also eating away his physical form, so in a successful attempt to keep himself alive he bonded his spirit/consciousness, and his force to his robes and mask.
Another Fun Fact - His mask is still somewhere in the galaxy cursed with his soul and hunger. Rumor says who ever wears it will be possessed by him, the dark side of the force and the hunger that was eating away at him.
Star Wars Lich King!
They should bring him in the new movies with that theory of someone taking his mask and finding out it was cursed after wearing it.
It’s on volik..
@@cngotham4111let's not he is so op they don't even know how to kill him off. That's why they keep him in legends. Also Disney don't have the rights to him or the two women that were with him George Lucas refused to give those rights saying those characters will never be given do to how problematic they are and don't want anyone messing with them do to fan base.
@kuninagako9035 that's not true at all Disney owns all of star wars don't know where you get this information from lol.
I gotta admit, Darth Nihilus is my most favorite Sith Lord. His power level, abilities, knowledge, danger level and everything makes him look like he can take anyone in a fight
I’d love to see a well thought out ability to ability match up of Nihilus v Sidious
"Most favorite" is redundant and makes you sound like you're 3.

"He cares nothing for the Sith or its teachings… or the Jedi. And when the Jedi are dead, he will feed on the galaxy, the Republic, and eventually, consume the Sith as well."
Actually pretty similar to volkorion
I love how Nihilus legit spoke in some weird voice that nobody could really understand, makes him even creepier
it's believed that his language was that of the force
He speaks death
It's the sith language but sounded more terrifying echoing through the force
It's not Sith language since Nihilus was most likely a Jedi before Malachor V disaster.
Always made me think of a flushing toilet. :P
I saw Darth Nihilus at the gym once on the bunch press. Dude, makes EVERYONE look weak with the plates he was lifting.
So did Nihilus control his flag ship completely, to where he was the only thing keeping it together and moving, or did he lift it long enough for it to be repaired and usable again?
Because if it’s the former then that would be insanely impressive!
He controlled it enough to get it into orbit. It was operational by the time of the games. No one besides maybe Prime un-burnt Anakin, Legends Grandmaster Luke or The Ones could pull off holding every piece of a star cruiser together while going through hyper space. Nihilus was a goat, but honestly Papls, Vader, and even comics Kylo Ren beat him negative, mid and mid/high difficulty
@@DK666999 Thanks for the response. I was confused because in the short Nihilus comic it look like the ship is still in shambles while in space.
@@DK666999 Putting him against Ben just isn’t fair lmaoooo
@@DK666999 Did you just seriously say Kylo Ren would beat Darth Nihilus?
@@DK666999 Nihuls beats Kylo Ren negative diff
Also Nihilus can use red force lighting, the strongest variation, so I don't think Vader will have a fun time fighting him if he can't even tank Palpatine's lighting.
Ah Darth Galactus, one of my favorite characters from the three Kotor games, and a real powerful beast. Another power I THINK he had allowed him to use the Force to hurl the Ravager through hyperspace, as I don't believe that component of the ship was still functional, and like Galactus, there were times when Darth Nihilus was on a clock, and taking too long could mean death. He was a lot of un in Kotor 2. I always thought it was weird how hus ship's "crew" were still alive, barely, but it was like their life-force, and even consciousness, had been devoured, and there was nothing left of them, as the people they gad once been. Truly the Lord of Hunger, indeed.
Marvel turned Galan into a jobber or punching bag, being defeated by forces that should never be possible. Hes a universal force-balance or equity. Never sat right with me.
Darth Honeybadger doesn't have that problem.
I’ll bet he had to replace his crew every time.
This guy makes Sideous look like a puppy
Sidious ragdolls him
I wish we could see more of him one day, seeing more of his horrific power and signature design
I’d like to see some animated series or something on it.
There is not much to see. Kreia told us everything we needed to know about him.
He's just a broken bottomless force sink born from the force wound created on Malachor. From the day he rose up from the ashes of Malachor to the day of his demise on Telos, he didn't do much besides get a fraction of Kreia's teachings and aimlessly wander around the galaxy to feed.
There just is no material to work with for an adaptation. If your desire is just to witness a scene or two of him displaying his force powers, that's a pretty piss poor excuse for a show.
Sadly, Disney would never bring this character into Canon.
Nihilus was a brilliant concept. The epitome of a tragic character with nothing to lose.
I've always loved Nihilus' design. I just now started playing KOTOR2. Can't wait to face him!
He makes Palpatine and Darth Vader look like children this guy needs his own Star Wars movie.
Vader and Palpatine both beat him no difficulty. Both of them can resist force drain and they are much better in dueling than Nihilus. And if you use legends Palpatine, than it's overkill, he could create force sorms that ripped space apart, and he could drain planets too
@@mr.macsek8457 Nihilus can use red force lighting which is the strongest variation. Vader is getting fried by Nihilus.
@@1997lordofdoom just because he has red force lightning, it doesn't mean his lightning is stronger. Palpatine can disintegrate people with his force lightning too, and he was shutting down a whole fleet in Rise of Skywalker. And force lightning is not comparable to force storm, it literally teared space apart.
@@mr.macsek8457 I'm tired of fandoms coming up with every imaginable way to make it so the Palp/Vader duo always remains on top. We get it, you like those characters. Good on you. You get writers to come up with crazy explanations so you get your fantasy to live on, even if it's detrimental to the overall diversity of the SW narrative landscape.
When Nihilus was designed and written, "resistance to force drain" wasn't a thing. The only thing that could beat and actually defeated Nihilus was him trying to feed on a force wound. Not because Nihilus was strong, he never was strong as a Sith lord anyways, but just because he happened to have an ability that was otherwise impossible to counter.
Back in the days, it was pretty simple: you're a force wound, you kill Nihilus easily. If you are not and are a force sensitive lifeform, you die, period. Simple as. And it made Nihilus' character relevant, because he was meant to be a sort of "Dark Side Doom", like a sort of natural disaster that you can't stop with cunning or power of any sorts, only with the right tools.
All of this fluff that was added to have the "mainstream characters remain powerful" "compared" to older ones, so kiddies can still happily play "wHo StroNgeREst In Star Wers!!!?!!!1!" undermines the writting and is just an overall annoyance that doesn't add anything to the SW universe.
@@mr.macsek8457They can't resist the power Nihilus. Nihilus isn't simply using force drain, his ability is far beyond regular force drain. He doesn't just empower himself, he literally feeds off of it.
His ability was not only that powerful but also massive in scale. He didn't even have to step on a planet to drain the force from it entirely. He would do it from the bridge of his ship, which was already destroyed by the way. Nihilus simply held it together using the force and he did that passively without having much issue, we're talking a ship full of holes that lead to outer space btw.
The ship was being held together by him and lead by his undead crew which he also controlled using the force. The guy was literally death incarnate, surrounded by death, the death of the force and everything around him. He is not the kind of threat someone like Vader was meant to face.
You can't even look at Nihilus as a man, he was more like a walking embodiment of the Dark Side. The Jedi Exile was likely the only being in the entirety of Galactic history that could have taken him down, because of their unique relationship with the Force. Had they not crossed paths Nihilus would have drained all life from the Galaxy.
Darth Nihilus didn't become the Senate though :)
Not yet.
He ate the Senate.
didn't need to, he just ate them.
All of that was great because it made The Exile the ONLY person in the Galaxy that could stop Nihilus. Master-level skills, but similarly wounded in the Force to keep him from just obliterating her/him.
Waiting for the salty palpatine fanboys to show up in chat...
Fr
Didn't have to wait long lol
some of them don't know that Nihilus can do more than just force drain.
Didn't take long lol
Crazy the niihus fanboy are just as worse. Folks can't debate without having anyone be like "you're salty 🤓"
This guy literally ATE a freaking planet.
A. PLANET. OF JEDI.
People who think Vader could stomp this guy, holy shit that makes me laugh
I saw somewhere that he was Dark Skinned with Dreads before he was transformed into Darth Nihilus
I want nothing more than to know Darth Nihilus has Dreads
It's base off of the Nihilus acton figure.
Star Wars Black Series Darth Nihilus.
You could take off his hood and there would be dreads, that why you always see some fan arts of Nihilus with brown skin and dreads.
I wish I had it.
@@entityunknown732 Oh wow didn't even know about that feature, I had seen the figure around but never for sale, now I really gotta have one
i am a year late as of responding to this but yea i have this same figurine that comes with his lightsaber, detachable hood and cloth like robe.
it was limited edition so hasbro no longer makes it but i plan on keeping mine for as long as possible it could sell for alot to a conisseur lol
that an also have a limited edition General Grievous in his Kaleesh warlord form which also has detachable pieces to wear you can see what he looks like fully with no mask an what his hair woulda looked like
From all that I remember from Kreia, she described him as a Wound in the Force, or maybe malignant cancer? Either way, with something summarizing him like that and how he just keeps "eating" i figured him just this literal *_V O I D_* in barely contained human form, which would make sense why he'd be more powerful than Sidious.
I mean, being a literal black hole in human form capable of draining entire planets just by being nearby and _still_ be hungry to keep going's enough to say you're better than some dude who can cast super thunder in movies and cast super magic storms in Legends?
technically, nihilus himself was not all that powerful. but power did not matter when your enemy could murder you passively by being in the same space as you. against the exile, who was immune to his particular condition; nihilus fell like a sandcastle at high tide.
@@jacobmiller6289 hence why I was calling him a literal void in barely contained human form. It's not really his controlled powers that made him powerful, it's the fact he could just be in the same sector and you'd get soul sucked.
A favourite of mine too! 😍

Such a underrated character darth nihlus is
Nice job detaling hes powers, and how scray he realy was... but here is my problem, when u have sith with this kind of power, how can enyone call Sidious the greatest Sith to ever live??( i dont blame u for this i blame Disny)
There's a lot of people on Reddit who would STRONGLY disagree with you.
I don't go either way, but you should have a look.
I've always thought of darth nihilus as the most powerful and terrify sith ever. More powerful in terms of sheer raw force power than sideous and more brutal and menacing than darth vader.
Nihilus was in a completely different league compared to Sidious and Vader. When you are a wound in the force like Nihilus was it means that your connection with the force is at 100% ( basically you are one with the force itself ). Sidious and Vader were extremely powerful sith lords .... but nowhere near Nihilus raw power.
I think Vitiate holds that title
Never clicked so fast let’s gooooo
Sameee😂
Me too
TBH Palps looks weak AF compared to a plethora of ancient Sith.
It's not a question of "who was stronger".
Nihilus was written as an average Sith, but who happened to develop a particularly deadly and unavoidable ability.
Nihilus is NOT powerful, masterful, knowledgeable or cunning. He is in fact pretty weak overall.
What makes him dangerous is his tremendous connection to the force, being a literal bottomless sink collecting force energy. That's what allows him to hold a battleship together, and that's why he craves the force energy of all who live.
It's a simple characteristic, and the only relevant way to counter that terrifying ability was to make him try to feed on a wound himself, which resulted in him transfering his force energy to the force wound he tried to feed upon. What remained after this move was a shadow easily defeated by a pretty average jedi in terms of power, Meetra Surik.
Well, that was the relevant way in terms of proper writting, the one that was envisioned when he was designed... Let's ignore the idiotic addendums exonerating X,Y and Z characters for some reasons, just because fanboys and fangirls were outraged at the thought that their beloved favorite character could be killed by a simple plot device such as Nihilus' feeding.
Yes, Nihilus' force drain was written to be universally unavoidable except when interacting with force wounds. Like it or not, it was written this way and it was what made the character actually relevant to KotOR II's plot and overarching philosophy and deconstruction of the force concept. And yes, it means that when he was designed, he could theoretically kill anyone he sensed, who was in range, and who wasn't a force wound.
The biggest problem is for sidious the strongest sith
People say he is universal in power
Serious people
Yet if he was even planetary powerful with force storms and all
Or had the power to control the minds of millions of not billions
Then it begs the question why didn’t he control teh galatic senate or need to build the Death Star
Basically I hate to break it if people say siduous is the most powerful sith meaning more powerful than nihilus he would have done better
The simplistic explanation to why nihilus can destroy worlds is because there is a drawback to force drain
Taht would explain why palptine never did it
And emperor visiate needs rituals and force users to syphon his focus
Basically when it comes down to power you can’t simply say one is powerful in Star Wars
As the line gets blurry
Being around Nihlius is like having a constant uneasy feeling each second
Nihilus was more like an empty husk controlled by the Dark Side though...
Nihilus and Vitiate both seem to be raw force potential waaaaay off the charts. Vitiate was emperor of an army of Sith including other dark lords who were badass af. Palpatine is tactically the best, but his rule was kinda weak though.
20 years Vitiate was around for 1500 years, he's the energizer bunny of Sith he just kept going, and going, and going...
I wish we got a movie on dart nihlis
I never got the love affair with Nihilus. He's boring and never really did anything that note worthy. Is it the bad Scream mask knock off? Is it the goofy gibberish he speaks? I just don't get it. Every Sith Lord from that era is better, more interesting and more of a threat that Nihilus ever was. Revan, Malak, Traya, and yes, Sion are all better characters as far as I'm concerned. As for Nihlius making Palpatine look weak? Ha! Why is this even a discussion? Revan and Traya are the only Sith Lords from that era that would even have a chance at making Palpy look weak.
Nihilus was an immortal entity a darkside spirit the lord of hunger could have just drained palps
@@rowanseth2126 Funny, I destroyed him in about 5 minutes, with little effort. Twice. So Meetra can hand him his ass no problem. But not Palpatine? Ok.
@@jaylucien669 is Palpatine a wound in the force Jay?
@@jaylucien669 meetra was a wound in the force and when Nihilus tried to drain her it weakened him significantly it took another wound in the force to defeat him
I never got the love affair people have with Revan. 🤷♂️
One eats planets the other got picked up and tossed in a hole
darth nihilus is awesome
Yes
if They ever wanted to make Star Wars horror movie, it would be KOTOR 1 and 2 times with this Chad Sith Lord as a main Jump Scare :o
I don't know if there's enough material for a whole video each, but what about some on the characters from the Old Republic Era like Darth Marr, Darth Thanaton, and/or Darth Jadus from the Empire for example
While Sidious ' fan Boys see him as the most powerful... there are other sith that had far greater abilities. Not to take anything away from Palpatine... he was powerful... but an older Vader took him out in a way some others would not have suffered. Even Vader surpassed Sidious (while still in his prime) and killed him in hand to hand combat. That is very impressive.
Sidious was not the most powerful... yet still very impressive!
Sidious was not the most powerful but vader was still weaker than him
Legends Sidious is stronger than Nihilus
Darth Nihilus is one of the most badass sith, change my mind.
Revan >:)
@@AceTWW Key words: one of
He was powerful yes but a slave to his hunger and not in control of his power
@@damaskholdings9140 lol Nihilus would have killed palpatine by just talking.
@@AceTWW revan is amazing bro
To bad he was so god damn easy in Kotor2 should've been a more interesting fight.
he was easy? he lost to surik with visas betraying him almost dying in the process since she had a force bond with him and weakend him, plus surik was also a wound in the force and when nihilus tried to drain her he found noting but a void and got weaker, if it wasnt for surik beeing also a wound in the force nihilus wouldve smoked anyone present on the ravager.
Could you do a video like this on Lord Scourge? Feel like not enough is covered on one of my favorite characters
Love to see this as well!! Nice suggestion!!
A my opinion Darth nihilus may have started out as a dark lord of the Sith but towards the end was more akin to a dark force of nature. All but Unstoppable all-consuming, and I don't believe he is truly dead as long as his mask and robes remain there's a chance for him to possess another living body and come back. I wish they would do a Darth Nihilus storyline in Canon
Darth Sidious is the most powerful Sith ever, that's just a fact. He literally took on the two most powerful Jedi ever. Nihilus is certainly one of a few likely in the same area of power though along with Emperor Vitiate, Exar Kun, Darth Revan, and possibly Dartj Plaguies (based off the fact Sidious was to afraid to face Plaguies in open combat back around TPM). Darth Sidious ability with force lightning alone is insane; he literally destroyed almost a fleet of ships. He was the best Sith duelist ever as well by the time of ROTS, though perhaps Vader became a better duelist then him by TROTJ.
The thing about GL’a statement about siduous being the most powerful sith in history has to do with the fact he had power over the galaxy as he ruled it
Not that he was force power wise more powerful than every sith before him in the force but he is the only one in a sense of power gained control of the entire galaxy
That’s what GL means
As he said the Jedi of the prequel era were a threat to sidious and siduous couldn’t destroy a planet or control minds of an entire planet because if he could he wouldn’t need order 66 decades of planing or the death star
If he was force powerful wise just as strong as the past sith who could
It’s even clear the ancient sith are more powerful force wise
But their power didn’t get them control of the entire galaxy
But sidious has the potential to be on their level if he learns their secrets which in dark empire he does
But before dark empire he wasn’t on their level
Nihilus has cat ears
Would love to see a deep dive into Jedi Master Belth Allusis... but I don't think there's enough material for that yet.
I would like to see mother housing and the other night sisters? Love your video's GG
It seems that Darth Nihilus was the so called Force God that Darth Veciate Was hoping to become with all of these abilities. In his own twisted way he became something of the Sith Ari.
Vitiate is more powerful than nihilus so that doesn't make sense
Vitiate is so overated.
Yeah, Palpatine was powerful but definitely it at the level other the top tier Sith Lords. But what made Palpatine dangerous was that he was much more political and strategic. He played the king game of subterfuge and brought down both the Republic and the Jedi.
Legends Palpatine>Nihilus
Hello there
@Dragongamer 7 you are a bold one.
My opinion is this: somehow Darth Sidious is able to witness first-hand Darth Nihilus using his abilities to the fullest extent. Darth Sidious then says: "well, SHIT! I'm fucking toast. I just hope I have enough time to kiss my own ass goodbye"
Darth Nihilus then proceeds to use Force Drain to kill Darth Sidious with absolutely NO effort whatsoever, then Darth Nihilus: *BURP* "Excuse me". Hahahaha.
Galactu- I mean Darth Nihilus *HUNGERS!*
There were plenty of pre-rule of 2 Sith more powerful the Palpi, but people who only know Disney's canon don't know about them and believe him to be the most powerful. Nihilus, Viciate, Exar Kun, Palpatine pales compared to them
True exar kun is say by the sources and quotes to be the a multi galactic threat
Canon-wise sidious is the most powerful. I follow canon but it is cool to see these sith and what they could do legends-wise
@@jacksonyon5276 a big part of that is because those who were his betters aren't canon anymore. That like saying your the best in a competition no one else entered. He's the only one by default
Agreed!
@@jacksonyon5276 some of the Canon are more powerful too. You forget that the clone wars Cartoons are Canon as well. Brings in ones like Bane. Sidious was never meant to be the most powerful. Only his Fan boys believe that. In the end he is killed by Vader while in his prime. That puts Vader over him as well.
Sidious is the most opportunistic and was able to steal and complete his masters plan. This makes him one of the most successful Sith... but not necessarily most powerful.
Nihilus is my fav ever since I played KOTOR 2 on my og xbox as a kid
I just realized mitochondria and midochlorians are 2 different things
As always thank u I LOVE STAR WARS IM A SUPER GEEK OHHH YEA . PEACE IS A LIE THERE IS ONLY PASSION THROUGH PASSION IGAIN STRENGTH THROUGH STRENGTH I GAIN POWER THROUGH POWER MY CHAINS ARE BROKEN THEIR IS ONLY THE FORCE ..... I AM DARTH VENGEANCE
I wish Disney would do movies or a series set in the Old Republic era, or even earlier. The origins of different species in the galaxy far far away would be interesting to see.
Nihilus is superior due to what he represents, a malignant cancer in the force, sheer power ultimately slave to his hunger,
But yo no one makes palpatine look like a meme more than palpatine...
he's not really a sith though
Nihilus didn't care for the Jedi nor the sith.
@@entityunknown732 the original MGTOW
he might be the coolest sith ever. he needs a movie or a show all his own. also, correct me if im wrong, but wasnt is body also technically none corporeal? Like, he was more a dark shadow then a physical entity...??
If someone ever makes a live action standalone movie or TV series of this terrifying sith lord,it must be good enough to do justice for him in legends otherwise,it's gonna be met with a great amount of criticism and potentially dislike
Darth nihlus is *WEAK* . Darth nhilus depended on his hunger, his power didnot get more powerfull, he got *WEAKER*
I made a darth nihilus fan film, you are welcome to use footage from it in your videos. Everyone else does :)
I just watched it. Excellent job!
You made that? Wow that's cool bravo
Ah Darth Nihilus…one of my favorite Sith!
Would love to watch Any one of these Old School Sith Bitch slap any one or all of the so called modern day Sith. Would be a real treat!!
Wound in the force vs Sideous
Malgus vs.Vader
Exar Kun vs. Tyranus
Hmmm who would we use to crush Maul???
BANE!!!!! WAIT.... OVER WITH TOO QUICKLY BANE WOULD JUST CRUSH MAULS HEART before could so much as ignite his light saber.
Is that his face or a mask.
Mask
I think you guys are very wrong on sense of his lightsaber skills he was trained in all old sith forms and was a master of all of them he also did fight with both hands but mainly one hand. He was also the most powerful sith and most terrying at the time to ever exist as he couldn't be killed by any physical lighsaber attack as he was a physical entity feeding of living force to stay physical in a spiritual way and red force lightening is the most power form a sith can use and he wielded it the only reason he was defeated was because he met another wound in the force Meetra Surik just like him and force drain doesn't work on a wound in the force he was also weaker at that point but beat meetra surik in the original fight but it kept going and eventually nihilus faded because he couldn't feed hence why trays set that trap because she knew if he didn't fall for it, it meant extinction of jedi and sith that's how terrifying nihilus was even sidious years later feared him
Interesting fact this force heal that drains life was also used in the Jedi Outcast series an old game that was focused on Kyle Katarn 😁
kinda funny how the strongest siths had the shortest reign during pre and post mandolorian war era and surrounded with betrayal alot
NNNNNNOOOOOOO
Why he is always hungry ? If he is so powerful why can't he beat darth sidious ?
Is darth nihilus the Star Wars version of galacticis from marvel both eat a planets in some way
Darth Nihilus is my favorite.
Palpatine and Vitiate are still the most powerful sith in history.
Krayt vs Nihilus though
Usually, a lot of people would have already clicked on this video lol
i agree, but we are here early
He basically was the Grim Reaper of the Star Wars universe in his time
I wonder, i know that nihilus wants to eat all the energy of the universe, but i wonder if he knows that if he did that he would basically have nothing to feed on at somepoint and he would starve, but i do agree the he is way more powerfull then sideous
Darth sidious already can do force drain he did that on his own home planet a
No where does it say that.
Where's your proof at?
You might be confusing him for somebody else.
@@entityunknown732 he probably meant the dark empire comics
If Sidious was so powerful, y didn’t he use the force to destroy planets. Yet he built planet destroying machines. Sidious used weapons and Vitiate used rituals to drain/destroy life on a planetary scale. Darth Nihilus’s mere presence and hunger was enough to leech life where even multiple Jedi along with the 2 billion force sensitive Miralukas were present and couldn’t stop him.
vitiate (multiple planets)
Sidious kept it hidden that he was a sith. Destroying a planet might give that away and cause everyone to rise against the empire.
@@idontno0 thank you bro Sidious was smart enough to force manipulation 😂
He was busy making credits hahahah

Palpatine has a better self control and knowing his love of knowledge and power, I am sure that he study Darth Nihilus and Art of Force Drain and make sure that he doesn't make the same mistake.
No evidence he ever used it and if he could he wouldn't have had the need to use a death star to do the same as Nihilus did 🤷🤦.
Kreia said that this is something instinctual, born of experience, not something tht can be studied. The reason of such a state for Darth Nihilus was the Battle of Malachor V. Kreia just trained him to increase tht power, which could then be used to destroy life at a planetary scale
Nihlius could stand there and possibly bore Palpy to death.
@@danielsuarez3198 maybe that he rather used the Death Star than end up like Darth Nihilus. Palpatine is quite intelligent. Also Jaden, I am pretty sure that Sith found a way to replicate that ability due to their love of power and developing an edge in combat.
@@DeathScepter Nowhere is it stated that he could use it and considering how power hungry he was both in legends and Disney... He definitely would have used it if he did
I want Disney to do a series about Nihilus. Also Revan and Malak.
Yep he is definitely a lot more powerful than sidious
This guy would have destroyed Darth Vader
Is he a part of any group in the STAR WARS ?
If the witch king of angmar went to star wars
a star wars game like kenshi wud be cool🤨
4:39 you forget Gaelen Marak. He moved an imperial star destroyer with telekinesis.
nihilus pulled the ravager and an entire fleet that were mere wrecks held together by his sheer power. What starkiller did was like nothing special compared with nihilus power.

In terms of lightsaber combat, Lord Sidious absolutely CRUSHES Lord Nihilus 100% of the time.
That being said however, if (and I stress the word IF) Lord Nihilus is able to use his Force Drain ability (I think that's what it's called) then Lord Sidious would be dead before he even had a chance to kiss his own Sith ass goodbye.
Which in my opinion makes Lord Nihilus one of only two Sith Lords who could defeat and kill Lord Sidious, the other OBVIOUSLY being Lord Vitiate. And a fight between Lord Sidious and Lord Vitiate would essentially break down like this: a normal battle ensues, Lord Vitiate toys with Lord Sidious, then finishes the match...I mean fight...with the Sith Spine Buster, followed by the Sith Bottom, followed by the Sith Elbow. Then of course killing Lord Sidious. Finally ending with Lord Vitiate looking out of the Chancellor's Office at the Corusant skyline, raising one eyebrow, and saying: "if you smell-l-l-l-l-l what Emperor Vitiate is cooking".
Now regarding Lord Nihilus against either Lord Sidious OR Lord Vitiate, the ONLY way Lord Nihilus would know he's been in a fight would be if Lord Vitiate used his own Force Powers against Lord Nihilus.
Note how I DIDN'T include Lord Sidious, and that's simply because as powerful as Lord Sidious was in the Force, both Lord Vitiate and Lord Nihilus would OBLITERATE Lord Sidious.
If Lord Vitiate somehow managed to prevent Lord Nihilus from using his Force Drain ability, then it would be an even 50-50 match-up.
However, IF Lord Nihilus was able to use his Force Drain ability then, just EXACTLY like Lord Sidious, Lord Vitiate wouldn't even have enough time to bend over and kiss his own Sith ass goodbye.
Just my own personal opinion anyway.
