How do u know he's talking about KOTOR 2 Revan ?

Evidence that Vader can resist Nihilus' specific form of drain? The Dark Reaper =/= Nihilus iirc.

Plus, we also know that Nihilus' TK obliterates Vader (Vader has nothing on pulling a fleet out of a gravity well before proceeding to consume several planets and get mega growth).

Please explain the difference.

But Traya underestimates her disciples' depravity. They turn on her and drain her Force powers."

Cool: does the feat have any context? Aside from it being done in the range of an immeasurably powerful dark side nexus, was it base Nihilus? Did he consume planets beforehand to amp himself up? What's the context?

Explain to me how it's similar. Nihilus is able to drain Kreia, who taught him this drain technique and can thus defend against it. He utterly drains her force power:

Wow, this logic... I concede. 

On a more serious note, Nihilus consuming planets doesn't "amp" him in any temporary way. It permanently amps him. Nihilus pulls this fleet out of Malachor (gravity well) before he consumes all of Katarr, as well as several other planets, therefore consuming their power. Nihilus is now more powerful than the entire Jedi Order, there's no way you can feasibly claim that Vader is more powerful than the entire fucking Jedi Order combined. Nihilus is close to a DS Nexus, yeah, but he's not so close to said nexus that he's in the center like Traya was. Traya lost to Meetra Surik. Like, the amp isn't so substantial that it overrides Nihilus' consumption of several planets afterwards. To claim so is completely disingenuous and makes no sense.

It corrupts all that walks on its surface—drowns them in the power of the dark side. It corrupts all life, and it feeds on death."

Traversing its surface had been agony. Mentally, she had still sensed the anguish of all who had lost their lives there. Physically, the intense gravity of the world had held her in its crushing grip, leaving her gasping for breath. It had been the most awful and horrific experience of her life … until now.

Vader slays.

I don't know if the OP is referring to KF Vader or suited Vader?

Well, prime Vader is supposed to be ROTS Anakin, or KFV you might say.
