Yeah I love how they emphasize that the ONLY person in the entire galaxy who could beat Malak… was Revan. Without him Malak was unrivaled
Well Malak is a dedicated Jedi guardian when he was a Jedi. I do suspect he was a Dedicated Sith Marauder when he is a Sith. Sith Marauders that becomes a Sith Lord are often quite intelligent to become one. True that Sith Marauder are quite aggressive in battle and can learn Sith Sorcery if they have a chance.
Also Vitiate. The one that turned them to the Dark Side in the 1st place.
I think ulic would take him on and last a while, its obvious exar would absolutely stomp him
@@kotanovakota malak is stronger than exar kun and it has been stated by writers and proven by feats
@@ieatmyveggiez5029 exar has frozen the entire senate he was boosted by two powerful sith lords before him and before all that as a jedi knight he was 10 times stronger the most masters he also has slain countless massasi and the thing is he had done all that in 1 year malak has done nothing that reached his power level, the only time malak has a shot against exar is when he is at the starforge
That's right.
Darth Malak is extremely powerful.
Except when it comes to his arch-nemesis: Solid food.
Or worse a woman that desires oral he is literally finished.
😂🤣
“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole galaxy, when he has to slurp bantha meat through a tube”
Malak did have a fatal flaw though. His plan to conquer the republic didn't care about how well off the galaxy was post conflict. It would have taken them far longer to recover under him leaving the galaxy at greater risks of threats to come later. Revan however knew they were coming and was more careful to keep things more intact. He knew the value of keeping at least some pawns on the board.
Malak the general is brilliant, in a direct and brutal way. It’s no accident the Sith Army remained intact and cohesive under Malak even after usurping Revan through intrigue rather than combat.
He would be a brilliant general, but a terrible administrator.
Malak is a good soldier and great at conquering empires but not building them. Revan was a great general and great at building Empires.
I am pretty sure they mention that in game. How Revan would strike with efficiency leaving key assets and a solid foundation intact while Malak just conquered and crushed anything that moved.
Question is this though. How far would Malak have gotten without the Starforge? That thing is an unsurpassed weapon of war.
Malak is more of a tactician while Revan is a better strategist. That's probably how Revan beat him too. Malak was more likely winning the beginning of their fight, then Revan started to adapt and make it even halfway. By the end Revan would time Malak and use his aggression against him.
Stupendous wave: Makes video on Darth Malak being way more powerful than you realize.
Darth Malak: (Literal jaw hits the floor).
It should be said that Malak is not only an eerie homage to Darth Vader, but he's also an example of what happens if the apprentice successfully overthrows the master. And for me, Malak is actually scarier than Vader since I grew up with him. Having to fight him in that final battle on the Star Forge was frightening for me, and years later I still get chills whenever I go after him.
Why u scared of fictional art that dont exist? Lmao...
Afraid of what circumstances ?
Not being a Father figure for Luke????
Wow. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, assholes.
You are an adult and scared of pixels?!
Hes not even in the top 10 smh 🤦🏻♂️
Peace is a lie, there's only passion, through passion, I gain strength, through strength, I gain power, through power I victory, through victory my chains are broken the Force shall free me.
If I lost my jaw and could never eat a cheeseburger again, I'd turn to the dark side too.
Malak was very powerful Sith Lord, but unfortunatly he lived in an era along with Darth Revan.
Darth Malak is stated above Darth Revan (Sith version). Only Jedi Revan defeated Malak.
@@LordVader254 Darth Revan was the one who cut his jaw off in a duel and Malak had to blast his ship while he was occupied. I don't really think that proves anything either way.
@@KakashiOkazaki pre prime Malak.
@@LordVader254 Yeah, he was cut by pre prime Darth Revan
Great antagonist for Kotor, felt like the old republic version of Vader while playing the game
It was mentioned that Malak was the best lightsaber duelist in his time, even being more skilled in it than Revan himself while Revan was more powerful and skilled with the force. Even his force lightning was much more devastating than anything Malak could conjure
I was gonna ask about that. I was under the impression this was the case.
@@WeAreGhuraba you’re half right. Anyone can be written powerful but it’s pretty pointless if there’s no evidence or detail explaining how they became that way. Good writing makes a good story or even a good character. It’s what makes them more memorable
Then why did his jaw get sliced off
@mhutch5082 overall skill does not equal victory. A prime example is anakin vs dooku in episode 3. While yes, dooku was ordered to hold back and even be dismembered he is the overall better duelist but anakins lightsaber form prioritises strength which countered dookus form. And yet in the clone wars we see them time and time again evenly matched but dooku was allowed to kill anakin by sidious he could in lightsaber combat alone. Dooku has the overall dueling skill but anakins form too proved to be an powerful counter. And his strength alone could possibly overpower dooku depending on the situation.
We must also remember malak was revans right hand man and as a sith he was his apprentice. Being together throughout the mandalorian wars and time as a sith would mean it'd entirely possible revan knows how to counter him.
I've always liked Darth Malak as well and I'm glad someone made a video on him but he wasn't powerful enough to defeat Revan.
I would love to see a video on who the most benevolent or kindest Sith Lord was.
Have you ever heard about Darth Vectivus?
Malek seems like a powerful sith and didn't think he was that good at being bad
Honestly Darth Malak needs more respect. He did eventually surpass Darth Revan at the end and mastered the Star Forge in ways that both Revan AND the Rakata never thought of.
He did not surpass revan he lost every time and needed the starforge just to complete he was such a bitch had to try blow revan up from a distance
Doubt it. If I remember, Malak used the star forge to its maximum outlet but Revan used it in a more consistent outlet. Think of it like a flash light would you constantly have it on when you are not even using it or will you turn it on and off when you need it. Because if I remember the star forge can corrupt and destroy the user.
@@shaunhaas4784 That was more of a gameplay mechanic. The story kept treating it as Revan struggling against Malak.
Oooh, i would LOVE to see a battle between Malak and Malgus
He did get a hold of the Star Forge and upped its efficiency and output. The Star Forge consumed Force energies to produce star ships. He basically was a battery for it
Finally. I have been waiting for this video
I think Malak was easy to forget because he was a mid-tier personality basic villain. He wasn't incompetent at all, but limited in scope with his 'might-makes-right' and 'just take over things and rule with an iron fist' goals. Solid second in charge material.
He's awesome
Nihilus is a Gary stu. Malak is much better than him and Sion. Malak got his own fanfilm and those scrubs don't. Only Kreia is better but Malak is more fun
You should do meetra surik next
A great enemy, still had respect as well as fear for Revan.
Even the dark side required balance in regards to the force. Malak was op but through the force, the sith rule of 2 destined his destructive goals to be thwarted by the ripple in the force known as revan. He was a true villain without a redeemable characteristic. His powers and control are noteworthy but he lacked depth of character causing his entity to never escape the shadows of the dark side
That was before the rule of 2
One of my Favorite Sith Lords i have is Figure.
And once again, another bad ass Sith Lord, that some probably have never heard of has been proven to be a God among mortals. The Sith will always be more powerful and down right cooler then the Jedi.
The Dark Side is a path to many abilities that are considered to be…unnatural.
@@hawk66100 Without a doubt. The Sith have a broder view of the force. More so then the narrow dogmatic view of the Jedi.
I am sorry, but Revan was a Jedi and is cooler than most Sith or Jedi.
Luke and his New Jedi was also OP in legends together with Jaina Solo.
@Chris VB Revan and Malak were both Jedi at one time. But they never accomplished anything in the Jedi order like they did when they were Sith. Plus Jedi wouldn't allow themselves to do feats anything like the Sith. Hence why they were known for being dogmatic and had narrow vision. Plus to be honest....they were boring.
@@joshuake2263 Malak was a jedi one before turning sith. Your statement doesnt extend to Revan as he turned back to being a jedi again later and did great deeds.
I'm a simple man, I see Malak and I click.
What was the music at the end during the merch part? I loved it
Replaying KOTOR 1 for the first time in years. Malak is such a great villain. I don’t know why he gets overlooked so much
How much you want to bet that in the kotor remake Disney writers will emasculated humiliated nerf and watered down both revan and make Turning them into a joke.
Amazing
I thought Malak's lightsaber form was Form V. Mostly because of the fact Revan's preferred lightsaber form was the reverse grip Form V Shien. Any insight into this?
I’m pretty sure that Revan was the only Jedi alive that was more powerful than Malak during that era. That tells a lot. Malak was indeed extremely powerful!
When he lays waste too Taris, that scene is powerful
Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion I gain strength. Through strength I gain power. Through power I gain victory. Through defeat by Revan my jaw lies on the floor. Through my other victories my chains are broken.
Sadly, for Malak, Revan was the more powerful and the better strategist.
With the sith respect is taken and not earned. Malak's failure to beat Revan will always cost him that which he may deserve. Coming after the Master and failing is not worthy of respect no matter how powerful he was. Failure is a weakness that the sith don't recognize
Me on my last play through of KOTOR:
*glares down at a defeated Darth Malak I stomped into the floor* "Pathetic."
You truly are sith.
For some reason it took me a while to realize but that Force freeze is basically the same as Force stasis.
Seeing Malak's prize-winning smile brings up a question for me that has bothered me for quite some time now: we know the Star Wars universe is quite big on using cybernetics to repair damaged organic parts. We also know that there are stable and successful ways of cloning people. So what exactly stops the folks in Star Wars from either growing clones for organ transplants (like they did in The Island) or cloning the respective parts directly? Like giving Malak his jaw back, Vader his limbs or Maul his cheeks? Is this somehow especially difficult for Force users and is therefore not used or did Lucas and other authors simply forget about the possibility?
I never considered him weak. It was more that I didn't know enough about him. I always assumed he was really strong since he was revans apprentice
Who do you think would win in a fight? Sith Lord Darth Malak vs Dark Jedi Inquisitor Jerec
You know how many times I "missed" this man in the last fight 😂 ended up spamming Force drain and Force storm
Without a jaw or vocal cords wouldn't he lose the ability to use force bellow. Revan wasn't push over either taking on bastila and her task force, only losing due to Malak firing upon his masters ship. Malak lost twice and knew he'd lose his life if he attempted a third ( which he does).Always saw Malak as a coward and weak for using his ship to take over. A
The version of Darth Vader if the only thing Obi-Wan cut off was his lower jaw
Malak was no way near vader raw force power malak is more comparable with count dooku
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 I’m just saying, his cyborg jaw might’ve inspired Vader’s armor
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 SF amped malak absolutely destroys canon vader
that scene in the beginning between 0.09 - 0.11 where is it from? :)
Malak is awesome! I can’t believe that as a collector of figures that they have a 6 inch version of revan and malak, but us 3.75 have a 20 year old revan and the malak figure is so dated
based on one of those photos id like to see Channing Tatum as Malek in a movie
I wish they did more to distinguish his look from Malgus. Especially since they were both from the same time period
I've heard Maleks name muttered but I hadn't put much thought in it
Still the best star wars game ever and the thing that made me a fan even though I had seen all the movies up to that point
I have a question is there or has been any Chiss race as jedi or sith
Malak is a tiger. He's like a wizard version of Sagat from street fighter
Malak is my favorite sith
I wish they'd make all the characters in SWGOH in line with how all of their lore truly was. They make some of the characters so weak when they are badasses and make others who really stuck into powerhouses. It's so depressing.
I not going to lie, this video made me see Malak in a new light or dark, haha. But ultimately, I still have nothing but love for Revan and Valkorian.
Malak was the better duelist while Revan was better Force attuned. Yet, Malak did leave a much more lasting impression in the era of the Old Republic.
Darth Malec Baldwin, the only Sith Lord to ever wield a blaster to kill, although it was just one time and it was an accident.
I never forgot Malak, but I forgot his apprentice, the dude we killed on Kashyyyk
Funny thing I've killed Darth Bandon on kashyyyk Korriban & manaan so it all depends which planet you're traveling to when that cutscene appears
Malak has been my favorite Sith since i first saw him in the KOTR trailers. Sithin' 4 life!
4 lifeeeeeee brother. He was about that mask life.
Revan sliced off his jaw because there could be only one cunning linguist in the galaxy.
Must've beat KOTOR 10 times back in the day now I finally know what the hell happened to Malaks jaw,I always figured he lost it in the war.
Which one is Malgus? He also has a mask over the lower part of his face right?
Correct but one key difference malak has a tattoo on his head,and wears a tight red/maroon outfit with a cape while malgus has no tattoos and wears full combat armor he has a bit more scares then malak
@@isaiahfaux5674 Got it yeah honestly I always thought Malgus was scarier and meaner looking haha. In the old republic trailer when he lead the attack on the Jedi Temple he was going ham.
I think Lego don't make old republic sets because they don't want to make children scared since darth malak jaw get cut of
I still reckon you would need far more than what he has if you lost the lower half of your jaw. In real life people basically need feeding tubes.

Well, I have a new respect for Malak.
Im top 100 in swgoh malak is one of the most powerful and vital characters in the game. I've know he was top 10 sith for a while
Dude? You have to play KOTOR. It’s a masterpiece!!! Cheers 🍺🍺😎🎸🎸
Mhmm I like the Yoda & Windu comparisons
Without the jaw prosthesis he looks like Andre Tate
I know this question might be dumb, but how does Darth Malak eat?
Malak would probably defeat Sidious.
Old Republic era Jedi and Sith both were just on a higher level and more experienced.
A republic trooper with a grenade says otherwise 😂
"Simply added the name Darth to their names" I love this video but this portion here isn't actually accurate. Revan's true name is unknown, he was called revan because his followers knew him as "The Revanchist" or revan for short. As for Malak, his real name was Alek, upon claiming the title of Darth to hide his true identity he changed his own name to Malak instead not just putting Darth in front of it
Malak didnt lose all his Revan duels.
He lost his first duel before KOTOR. Won the first duel in KOTOR. Lostbthe 3rd fuel. So Malak is 2-1 against Revan.
To be fair, a lot of his power came from the star forge.
Malak & Palpatine are the only sith that was shown to forgive a subordinate. They truly had the bigger picture in mind
Anyone ever wonder how Malak eats his food?
well when standing next to revan its not hard to understand why he gets overlooked he is by no means a weak sith lord compared to others he was even stronger then palpatine when he was at the height of his power malaks very thoughts reverberated through the darkside across the galaxy any one in touch with the darkside could feel his thoughts and emotions from across the galaxy.
palpatine like wise was unable to do this at his peak while only able to do this with mara jade specifically while malak could for every darksider. sheer numbers and rule of 2 logic show malak is no mere shlep.
If you have a tech or consular build or both you're probably going to lose
What you don't know is that Malak is actually Stannis the one true king of westeros lord of the 7 kingdoms and protector of the realm
He's nothing but the original "Meatbag" 😂
These "Jedi" were corrupted long before they entered Sith space
If Darth Malak got his lower jaw cut off, how does he eat and drink?
Injection of nutrients.
He doesn't that's what fuels his sith rage. It was said that before a battle the troops would go around eating ewok burgers fresh off the grill well seasoned on a brioche Bunn made in corusant, and walked around the deck eating it passing him and passing him off fueling the rage, the smell alone was like the burning fury of 1000 death stars.
Fun fact:
"Malak" (aka Malik) means "king" in Arabic.
Malak vs Malgus: Your opinion.
As much as I love KOTOR 1 Malak's outfit just makes him look silly. Not intimidating at all.
Put some respect on maleks mask.
Why are all sith losing parts of their bodies? Is it a job requirement? 😂😂😂
Someone played KOTOR recently 😂
LFG
Wait wait wait. Was it you who did the poll not too long ago about who's strongest? And Malak was last place... 😏Did you make this video because statistically we'd all ofc watch it because we were already saying "nah, that dude weak?" 🤣🤣🤣
Maelstrom. Strom. Not storm.
You mean:
Form 1, Form 5 (shien) and Form 7
My dislike of Malak is his personality, not his skill. He seems like he trying too hard.
...NNNNNNOOOOOOO
I truly believe Meetra was stronger than Malak
Revan wasn't stronger than Malak. He was more skilled
Lol and i see people say how easily mace would beat malak.. smh show some respect fr fr
5 month ago
Honestly imo he's a better version of both anakin and vader combined less whiney plus he's a decent tragic hero,and obviously revan is going to be a vast majority of star wars community favorite but you got to show respect where its do revan trained a badass apperantance(probably spelled it wrong sorry). Hopefully we can get either a remaster or a TV series of kotor.
You want Disney to bastardize kotor?
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 well obviously no but if its done by the right director it would be good examples obi wan,book of boba fett,mandalorian as long that director can make i literally have no fear
