Why is Raynar a #2 in sabers?

Because every other duelist sans Luke is shit.

This is only for Force-sensitives (Grievous > Qui-Gon in sabers), and I forgot about Onimi.

Meatpants
Didn't Drew say that Malak was actually a better pure duelist than Revan, but that Revan was way more powerful in the force?

he also said meetra >= revan

waits for ant to scree in more triggered than a trans hillary supporter

Meatpants
I think it makes sense.

But Meetra >= Revan is sorta like wtf...

SunRazer
Scourge in the KotOR era isn't that impressive. I don't see a reason to rank him above Sion or Bandon.

And Revan should be the strongest duelist in the SWTOR period.

AncientPower
The Exile is confirmed to grow more powerful than Traya in the years between Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords and the Star Wars the Old Republic: Revan novelisation. In their actual battle, the Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords Official Prima Game Guide tells us that the Exile can hold her own in a telekinesis fight too.

eek!

victreebelvictr
I mean, before Exar Kun took out the double blade, he did whoop him.

RealistRacism
So you're making a judgement using one showing from Padawan Kun? Who smoked Vodo right after that? Okay then, lmao.

The Ellimist

Jaggarath
Bro, come on.

The Ellimist
forgot about kf vader

Meatpants
Opinions about KF Vader, Sidious and Yoda compare as duelists?

SunRazer
If we're taking Gillard's word, he basically says a fight between them comes down to individual styles and environmental circumstances. In terms of "absolute ability", they're more or less the same.

Jaggarath
Gillard also says that Anakin has less flaws in his form than Yoda or Sidious, indicating if it goes down to styles Anakin edges out. This is consistent with Gillard saying Anakin approaches level 10, Hayden saying Anakin is the most talented swordsman of the known time, etc. (not to mention the dozen of non-Gillard quotes putting Anakin above Yoda or Sidious as a duelist).

MythLord
ToTJ: Exar Kun
KoTOR: Revan
SW:TOR: Outlander
Bane era: Bane. Maybe Zannah eventually surpassed him?
RotS: Yoda/Anakin/Sidious
TFU: Sidious
NJO: Luke
Legacy: Assuming Legacy of the Force isn't in question, Krayt

Why does anyone listen to the fight choreographer for canon? Should we consult the gaffer about a Force Nexus, or the make up lady about Sids' dark side corruption?

Trocity
where's tulak?

NewGuy01
He's pre-TOTJ, duh.

Trocity
dam ur right, didn't read op.

sorry guys.

Because he's telling us about Lucas' own power levels.
