How do you go about doing this?
You can sort of scale different era Force users against one another by their feats (however unreliable that is), and it's more common to find accolades and comparisons there. But how are we supposed to compare how potent duelists different characters are when they never faced one another, and have no common enemies to base their abilities off of?
I suppose there are a few methods that roughly work:
Trying to find a few common reference points. .ie, Yoda being considered the greatest Jedi swordsmaster of all time -> any other Jedi probably weaker, so how well does your character of interest do against, say, Revan, if they do worse against Revan than Dooku against Yoda, they're prob weaker than Dooku
Guessing based on the eminence of their accolades - Dooku is probably a better duelist than Kyle Katarn by what people say of him
Guess based on a superposition of how good they are relative to their era and how good the era is relative to the mythos, .ie we know the PT is the dueling golden age of the Jedi, and Kaan's Brotherhood is weak.
Analyze their actual fighting styles and how good they should be given their years of training and apparent talent
Scale from their strength in the Force
Post your opinions plebs
