What is the full context of this quote? Is it implying that Billaba's skill with Vaapad is surpassing Mace's?


"On that day in Nar Shaddaa, she showed me blade work that surpassed my own; she had continued to grow and study and progress in Vaapad as well as the Force." - Shatterpoint


Is it just referring to that day?

That's Mace's own POV, who notoriously underrates his powers and abilities while hyping up others.

NewGuy01
Yes, that is what that implies.

True. But I don't think his statements on Kenobi and Skywalker were illegitimate.

If anything Kenobi's the one that does that, notably with Shaak Ti lol

The context is that it's an in-universe quote made by a fallible character. Its application is limited without substantiation from feats and out-of-universe accolades.

Not even his main fandom either, tbh.

Except for Anakin.

He does call Anakin "arguably the most powerful Jedi alive" in the ROTS novel when conceding his own ego.

Stover added that one in there for his admitted favourite character, Anakin (He says it's Obi-Wan in a different interview too, so he's senile). Out of character for Mace, but I guess you can do whatever you want in your own fanfic.

He says Obi-Wan is his favorite character here:

Where does he say Anakin is his favorite? Even if it's bias it matches up with Lucas's intentions.

RealistRacism
It's not in a video interview, and you can find it yourself since I can't be bothered.

RealistRacism
Eh, nevermind. I guess it doesn't say 'favourite,' but he strongly identifies with the character at least.

That doesn't indicate or I guess confirm favoritism. Either way the statements in the ROTS novel are completely valid.

RealistRacism
'Valid,' lol. Sure they are, when they don't contradict the movie.

Freedon Nadd
Are you quan using another account or Shooting Nova who was tired of stupidity and decided to go "aggressive" mode?

RealistRacism
Pretty sure Quan has never said anything blasphemous about Maul, and Nova is all about the Anakin wank.

Who are you? You must be someone around here. Or one of those YouTubers. . .

mace passed up on a killshot on depi beliaba like two moves in while he was injured as f. I think we can disregard it as his own self-doubt

Yee
