A curious idea I had, to gauge the abilities of our favorite spinning battle droids.

The droideka gets full repairs and recharge time in between every battle, for as long as may be necessary. This is the original model, as seen in TPM aboard the Trade Federation's starships.

How far will it get?

The Imperial Guards being after the Tusken Raiders is a bit odd, but I figured that they're well-trained, and may have specialized equipment.

I'd gauge, from the fear that the Jedi seem to have of droidekas in TPM, that they're pretty well-protected. As we haven't seen a lightsaber blade come up against their shielding, we can't guess at the exact damage it would do, but we can guess it would be minimal, as no Jedi has yet tried to attack it with one.

I'd bet on the Droideka breezing through the first three, being put to the test in the fourth, and finally falling at Jango. He has a variety of weapons for a variety of situations, and his high mobility increases the difficulty the Droideka will have in aiming. If the Droideka catches him with his guard down and manages to kill him, it may or may not be defeated by the Tuskens -- it depends on if their rifles can get it or not. If it gets past that, the Guards will definitely overwhelm it, with their unsurpassed skills and good weaponry.

I doubt it can go through TPM Obi-Wan Kenobi...

Which is why, no doubt, he ran for his life when only two of them confronted him and his master.

I didn't say it can't, but it is quite hard for it to beat Obiwan.

I don't see Obi-wan losing to one. Yes, he did run from one, but I don't think it was because they couldn't have defeated it if they'd tried, just that doing so would have taken so long (seconds is a long time in this instance) to defeat them that many more droids would have shown up. They weren't trying to take over the battleship, they were trying to escape it.

Beats the Super and Clone, Obi as well, unless he performs a wonder jump behind the Droideka.

I don't know jack about IG-88.

Unless Jango has a portable shield of his own, or an ion cannon behind his back, I don't see him living.

Tuskens are cut down easily.

Again, unless they have some Ion weapon (and I doubt it), they die.

Anakin deflects like crazy while getting closer, possibly wearing down the shield, then he jumps behind the Droideka and slashes it.

Lol at the gauntlet order. The guards should be fourth or fifth and they are 7. Tuskens should be third, or fourth and they are 6. Anyways, I doubt he can make it past Kenobi.

It dies at 3.

Obi-Wan force pushes it over...

Those things don't have arms to get themselves back up, lol. They're like turtles.

Droids can't die. They can, however, be destroyed.

The droid is destroyed at three, unless it is a specialized clone trooper in number two.

Droideka has an shield, therefore he can never be destroyed. Even if time and space would collapse. Obi Wan might try to run but a droideka will outroll him and ride over him making sure he dies.

Anakin has a lot of resentment and hatred in himself. He will see droideka rolling, he will be hating, but droideka will drive over him cause he's pimp like that.

Yea, probably TPM Kenobi would stop it, but not easy and he would have to be careful and concentrated all the time.

Interesting, but it doesn't get past TPM Obi

People way underestimate tech. Wasn't it mentioned in some CW novel about how the droidekas making Jedi flee 'cause they were kinda useless against them? I know there was something mentioned about them in oen of the books I read a while back...Trying to remember which one.

Good for you, you have finally made a productive post.


And I find it ridiculous that people would put a droid over a Jedi Knight, if Droidekas were than strong would Jar Jar have beaten one during the Battle of Naboo? Would Magnaguards be considered stronger than Droidekas if Droidekas > Jedi Knights? If Droidekas > Jedi Knights then why did the CIS even make any droids besides Droidekas? Why didn't they just make a coiple thousand destroyers and toss them ontop Courscant. War over. If one can beat TPM Kenobi then twenty could beat Yoda for sure. If one can "tear through" Kenobi then 5 could beat Yoda. No, just no. If they were that strong they'd have been used more.

"then why did the CIS even make any droids besides Droidekas?"

because droideka's cost huge amounts of credits to make, even more than a battleship, because they are such weapons of mass pwnage. Only an army of Wampa's would be able to take them down.

Proof (that they cost more than a battleship)? The rest of your post is clearly bullshit, so... actually, the whole thing is bullshit, so. Bye.

He wasn't serious.... He never is... It's overlord, nuff said....

Ya...

I have the most arguments to support my opinion. I win.

the droideka clearly automaticcaly pwns everyone because thats how it works in the video games

Which video game?

battlefront 2 lol well at least thats what happens when i use them

lol... yeah, but not a Jedi. It only makes it to Kenobi. He could simply Force push it...

There is no way it beats Obi-Wan.

It will clearly outroll Kenobi.

It's likely to fall at Kenobi...

Obviously it does, it would be stupid to say it beats Kenobi...

Because people think TPM Kenobi sucks...

Just becuz he's not as strong as in RotS or AotC it doesn't mean he sucks

Maybe

No not maybe, if he sucked Maul would kill him easily.

If he faces someone like Yoda or Mace, he sucks

Yea, he would be defeated easily, but Yoda could easy defeat an ordinary Jedi Knight, even Master.

Isn't TPM Kenobi below an average Jedi?

Uh, no. I think he was actually an above-average apprentice.

Where the hell did this come from?

But he's below average knight & master...

I agree, he was probably wery talented for his age, if he wasn't, he wouldst be able to keep up with Maul.

He became knight after that duel...

He is definitely below an average Master, but i think he is better then an average Knight, remember that he was made Knight right after his fight with Maul, so in the TPM, he was very close to becoming a Knight anyway.

I think in that duel he performed better than an average knight...

Obviously... considering that Qui-Hon died and he lived.

Once Obi-Wan started using his full potential he f*cked Maul up.

Right, but that was only when he used his anger for the death of his master... after that, everything was back to normal and Maul beat he sh*t out of him once again

When did Maul ever beat him? Kenobi was winnign the entire one on one Saber duel up to the point were Maul surprised him with a force push, after a few minuets of hanging on a ledge he just jumped up and sliced the dud in half.

If Kenobi was winning all tehe time like you say in the first place, Maul would've not surprised him. And, scondly, almost everyone here knows Maul could've killed Kenobi whenever he liked, but th dumbass decided to play with him and uderestimate him. If not, Kenobi would've been pwned

Maul would beat TPM Kenobi one on one if there is no hole.

It's kind of hard to see a force push at point blank range coming. And what does that have to do with their saber duel?





So why was Maul's lightsaber cut in half and then put on his ass?

Man, you saw the freakin movie. If Maul woul've really wanted, he could've simply Force pushed Kenobi into oblivion and bye-bye forever.

I think most people here would agree that Maul>TPM Kenobi...

Obi-Wan was, imo, more a victime of the terrain. I have no doubt in my mind that if that pit wasn't there ObiWan (In his darkside uber) state of midn would have recovered fast enough to keep on fighting, and eventually win.

So, if Qui Gon didn't die, Obi won't use darkside, & can no way beat Maul. So Maul vs Obi one on one without hole, Maul wins. Maul>TPM Obi.

Only when Obi-Wan isn't using his full potential. A full potential Obi-Wan > Maul.

I also know that it's only a matter of time before Advent comes on and rips my ass to shreds.

But I think full potential Maul > full potential TPM Obi-Wan.

Maul in TPM was at his full potential. He was at the height of his abilities.

Obiwan won't be so powerful if Qui Gon is not dead, so Maul & Obi one on one Maul would win.

It was because of Qui-Gon's dead that Obi-Wan's full potential was unlocked. What we were talking about was Obi-Wan at full potential vs. Maul at his full potential, I.E. TPM. Which Obi-Wan won.

No one knows what happen if there is no hole. Maybe Maul can win.

Obi-Wan was winning the saber duel when Maul force pushed him. So if there was no hole to FP Obi-Wan into, he would have eventually overwhelmed him.

Not necessarily, in that scenario the force push would likely throw Obi-Wan off for a while, possibly leaving him open for Maul to take the easy win, and at the very least put him back on the defencive. Now don't get me wrong, Obi-Wan was dominating him in that state, but Maul was still putting up somewhat of a fight (got in a solid kick IIRC), and it's very likely that Obi-Wan's sudden increase in skill caught him off guard a little, whereas the surprise factor wouldn't have lasted much longer, and I really doubt that Obi-Wan would have remained in that frenzy much longer either, it would have eventually worn off.

I doubt if Maul was at his FP at that moment...

I'm pretty sure the novel states that in that fight Maul was in his prime.

Blaxican: Hey does anybody here from KMC remember $$Anthony Billy$$? Hehe, funny story, that was actually me, Blaxican and $$Anthony Billy$$ are one in the same. Ha, let's just hope Rex doesn't see this.

Mwu hahaha.

That link doesn't even work, tool.

What's that?

That was intentional, fool.

Edited because I don't feel like being mean today.

Wow. Really? Advent, not mean?

Lol, what did you edit?

She was probably going to completely decimate my Obi-Wan > Maul argument...

Uh, man, let me ask you something: How could'be Kenobi been at full potential if he became MORE powerful in AotC and RotS? What you're sayin doesn't make sense. That's like sayin Anakin using his anger would be at full potential, when ANAKIN at FULL POTENTIAL would pwn pretty much everyone, except maybe NJO Luke...

Maybe ROTS is his FP, so TPM Obi can't take Maul one on one

That's why I said what he said makes no sense at all

It also seems that he is the only one who think TPM Obi>Maul...

Full potential as of TPM -- that is, at the highest skill, focus, etc. to combine to great the greatest potential power that he could have, with the knowledge and abilities he currently has.

All things considered, though, it's rather irrelevant; Maul owned Qui-Gon, and it's been established that Qui-Gon would own Obi-Wan. That Maul did as badly as he did is probably because he underestimated Obi-Wan, and didn't put as much effort into the fight as he should have (and even then, he still won). It's obvious he didn't think very highly of Obi-Wan to begin with; after Maul knocked Obi-Wan down into the pit, he didn't even look to see if his enemy was dead or not. All those things show Maul's overconfidence and arrogance, and ultimately led to his downfall -- not Obi-Wan being 'better'.

He will sense it before it happens and move out of dangers way.

Droideka falls out of ceiling and crushes obi-wons spine and proceds to pwn everyone else
