Darth Sidious tier up

Ooh link to the calc?

I'd say it's valid, the comic shows a blue star as Qui Gon says it might be valid (occams razor suggests that is intended to be the specific star) and legends in Star Wars tend to be valid in the old canon
[Are you thinking of this[1]]
 
If Sidious gets an "At least 4-B" rating, could Caedus and LotF Luke get an "At least 4-B, possibly higher" as NJO Luke who is on par with Sidious was stated by Jaina to be less than 1/4th of LotF Luke in power and Caedus would somewhat scale to Luke?
 
Actually, shouldn't DE Sidious (and those who scale to/above him) be 3-C? Sidious was stated to know every Force ability up to that point, meaning he should know the Nathemic Ritual that Valkorion knew.

"Palpatine has spent decades studying the most arcane and esoteric Jedi disciplines. It is believed that he has mastered nearly all the known powers, previously unknown powers, and devises new ones at his pleasure."

> Dark Empire Sourcebook

His Force drain should also have greater potency than Nihilus' drain which has two 4-A, eventually 3-C statements.

"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."

> Knights of the Old Republic II

"As his useless body disintegrates, he becomes living primitive intention; at last, the whole of the galaxy becomes food ― for Nihilus has become the hunger."

> Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide
 
The 4-A and 3-C statements of Nihilus have been discussed before. His general showings and context indicate that he will lay waste to the galaxy over time, not in one go, devouring planet after planet to sate his hunger.

With Vitiate, we at least have animations (of a Force Vision) showing him devastating the galaxy.
 
Okay, then no 4-A Nihilus. What about 3-C DE Sidious due to him knowing the Nathemic Ritual?
 
I believe that was also brought up and rejected as he never had feats demonstrating those levels. And Sidious was already dead by the time anyone higher than 4-B was introduced.
 
Okay... it seems kinda weird to put Sidious above Vitiate and have a note that he knows every Force ability on his profile but reject him knowing the Nathemic Ritual, but alright then.
 
Couldn't Surik and Scourge scale to Revan, at least?

They were with him when he fought Vitiate, and they were able to do some damage.
