Rebel95
Sabers
Force
Allout

EDIT: Ahsoka Tano (not Tank, lol)

Rebel95
I'd give sabers to Kenobi, barely
Force- not sure
All out- not sure

TenebrousWay
She didn't do anything Obi Wan couldn't replicate.

Ursumeles
Kenobi, obviously.
Good fight, nonethless.

Rebel95
The only reason I believe she has a good chance is because of her showing against Vader

cs_zoltan
Make it Old Ben for fairness.

Nothing Obi Wan couldn't replicate. She was semi ragdolled.

Kenobi's stated to be a superior swordsman to ANH Vader.

Where?

DarthAnt66
Fightsaber states that Darth Vader couldn't penetrate Old Ben's lightsaber defenses.

Another work states that Darth Vader didn't become the greatest lightsaber master in the galaxy until Old Ben's death.

Considering the fact that Episode III Obi-Wan Kenobi is significantly superior to Old Ben with a blade, he's better than Darth Vader too.

While I bet you're joking, I should clarify Palpatine and Yoda weren't swordmasters at this point.

Yoda didn't carry one, and there's no evidence Palpatine kept his lightsaber following TFU.

Impressive accolade for Ben though that doesn't place him above him.

DarthAnt66
Right, but it puts him as Vader's equal (or superior) as a technical duelist.

Refer to my point that Ben decreased significantly since Episode III Obi-Wan.

UCanShootMyNova
That's only if you take the quote to mean lightsaber combat as a whole rather then just technical skill. And that doesn't take into account Obi Wan having improved augmentation due to growth in the Force and thus becoming a superior lightsaber combatant in this regard ( though not necessarily on the whole ).

I assume you mean the other way around, since I suggested it meant technical skill.

That being established, Ben's greater Force abilities (which are up for debate, in any case) still had him labeled as a "shadow of his former self" compared to Obi-Wan Kenobi in regards to combat, so I disagree.

UCanShootMyNova
No, I agree that it refers to technical skill. Must have misread.

In regards to combat as a whole? Mind quoting me the passage?

Sabers: Kenobi 6-7/10
Force: While I'd like to give Tano the edge, there are too few showings to derive this from. She has more potential than Kenobi imo.
All-Out: Kenobi 7-8/10

Canon =/= Legends :/

I just realized that accolade means Dooku and Anakin are canonically > Vader as swordsmasters...

I love it!

In Legends of course, doubt anyone was arguing against that.

Beniboybling
So Kenobi > Vader > Sidious? Lol.

There are also other sources which confirm that Vader could've won eventually and by that time Sidious didn't carry a lightsaber so he technically didn't count in this equation.

SunRazer
Ant's quote is good but doesn't preclude Ben being equal with Vader, which is suggested by other sources.

Geistalt
Legends Obi-Wan wins; Canon Obi-Wan loses.

How about 'Death Star' claiming Vader is Kenobi's better IIRC?

SunRazer
Where does it say that? And it's from Vader's perspective.

Thought that it mentioned how Anakin was a better fighter back then and now Vader to or something along those lines. Could be wrong though,

That means Vader isn't > Sidious as a duelist since the latter wasn't considered a duelist at that time.

Where is this from?

Not sure. It's not Fightsaber, that's for sure.

Again, Vader's perspective.

SunRazer
Yeah, it's not. Don't know why I said that.

Looks like TCSWE to me, but it could be something else.

Interesting. Do you take that as a pretty valid source?

DarthAnt66
I'd say so. The entire work was dedicated to examining and assessing Darth Vader's lightsaber abilities, so I see no reason not to.

Is this it?

Yes.
