Uh, did you see the fight? Obi-wan fought better than Qui gon did, period.

So you think TPM Obi-Wan would beat Qui-Gon?

In a straight up fight? Probably. I wouldn't dismiss the possibility. My thoughts on it come from watching the two fight. Obi has a tighter defense and better reflexes. Qui Gon leaves himself open a lot and has a horrid defense.

LOL, yeah, and Anakin with one arm and no lightsaber was stronger than Sidious laughing

Yeah, exactly why he gives props to her and her deadliness the ENTIRE BOOK. Because he'd just pwn her.

She's strong, but as we saw at the end she's really not much of a match for Mace. he was injured and wasn't even trying to win but still won.
quote:
Proof of this? Oh wait... the single line of hyperbole in the TPM novelisation.

Well, seeing as we've not seen TPM Mace fight it's cannon.
quote:
In Cloak of Deception, Qui-Gon has trouble taking out a sniper at medium range. Mace Windu sailed through the battle a Geonosis, landed, and decaptiated Jango Fett, the deadliest man in the galaxy and a far cry from the goon Qui nearly died to. Now, assumig you're right and they were about equal, Mace Windu must have -really- done some training in ten years to become -that- good, huh?

1) Yeah, Mace sailed through the battle of Geonosis and killed Fett. More like ran at him and merely sliced off his head, something Jinn would have no problem doing.
2) Jango the dealiest man in the galaxy? Talk about hyperbole.
3) Yeah, Mace did do some training and di improve a lot.
quote:

Considering her experience and style and known feats of deadliness, I'd say possibly.

Anoon Bondara, who's said to be the strongert Jedi in the galaxy in terms of saber skills? Personally I'm not even sure if Depa's capably of defeating him, definately not in 3 seconds.
quote:
And who has Yoda dueled in a real duel before AOTC? Was he weaker than anyone else just because you didn't see it happen?

Janus, you don't get it do you. For one thing in over 850 years as a Jedi surley he hasd dueled several combatants. And I never said Depa was weak for never being in a real duel I merely stated the fact that Maul has more dueling experience. And their's no point argueing in less you can present me with some people Depa has dueled in a real duel.
quote:
Have you ever heard of anyone dying of a coma?

Yes. Depa.
quote:
She suffered shock and mental damage in the war and because of the lure of Vaapad. This effectively put her in a catatonic coma. She died in the purge, presumably, because she could not be supported nor could she defend herself.

Nevertheless, a way lamer way to die than at the hands of Padawan Kenobi.
quote:

And Maul still got schooled by TPM Obi-Wan, who would die in a fight against a seasoned Vaapad fighter.

No, not schooled. Obi-Wan only won for the same reason one armed, unarmed Anakin beat Sidious. That means Anakin's stronger, right? No, Maul was beating Obi-Wan's ass for 99% of the duel, remely made the fatal mistake of letting his guard down for the last 1%.
quote:
So please, give up.

Well... nah.

LOL, no way, dude, most people said Qui-Gon would beat AOTC Obi-Wan in the Qui-Gon vs. AOTC Obi-Wan thread and AOTC Obi-Wan's stronger than TPM Qui-Gon. Seriously, just because Obi-Wan's faster doesn't mean he'll win. And who's defense did Maul break more times, Obi-Wan's or Qui-Gon's? Exactly. Obi has better defnese my ass.

Actually, Maul put Qui Gon on the defensive with ONE MOVE. Obi-Wan didn't even give ground despite having Maul counterattack.

And yes, Boba Fett being the deadliest man in the galaxy is hyperbole. So is the idea of TPM Qui-Gon Jinn being as good as Mace Windu. No proof either way. And it's NOT canon, since the novelisation is an author's interpretation of movie events.

And really, if it's so hard for you to believe that Depa can beat your beloved Maul perhaps you should go argue your point to people who buy into your arguments. I'm not one of them.

1) So what? He only broke Jinn's defenses twice and he broke Obi-Wan's four times.
2) Jango you mean, not Boba. Janus, EU isn't cannon. To bad we're in the EU section and therefor EU counts.
3) If you don't like my arguements then why are you talking to me? All you ever tell me is you don't like my arguements. I get it. Tough.

Point for Darth Sith, that actually surprises me, no offense, I mean it as a complement. Wait, what point does he have again? This is the EU section? Since when?

DS19, you need to figure it out that EU IS canon. GL himself says so.

Let's see, Depa mastered Maul's incomplete form, had such potential that she was the youngest ever female jedi to be put on the council, was able to challenge Mace and put up a very strong fight and Mace mentions several times in Shatterpoint that she is the deadliest saber dueler in the whole order with the exception of himself and Yoda.
