I'd read about Kit's status, though I don't think complimenting someone automatically means they're better than you.


No, but Obi-Wan flat out confirms that Kit is the superior duelist after sparring with him for better than two hours.

Yes, Fisto did well against Grievous, but I have a hard time believing he'd be > CW/ROTS Obi-Wan, given Obi-Wan's feats.


Obi-Wan has more feats courtesy of his exponentially greater exposure. But one is not a better fighter by simply being a main character. Kit's few feats, accolades, and station are sufficient to place him on par with Obi-Wan.

That, and they can't really have Obi-Wan beating Grievous in CW, as Grievous has to survive until ROTS.


Well, they can't have Obi-Wan kill Grievous, but beating him is something else entirely. And the fact is that while Obi-Wan does perform well against the general, Kit did even better until ROTS.

I dunno, I mean, I guess I can see why you and others think Fisto is superior; I just don't agree.


You don't have to. But I didn't try to measure them comparatively with any degree of exactitude. I just think they're on par.

However, the argument can be made that Palpatine's demeanor during those two fights was completely different.

Against the Jedi team, however, Palpatine was deadly serious and immediately went for killing strikes. Had Palps possessed the latter demeanor against the brothers, they(Savage for sure) likely would have met just as swift(if not swifter) of an end.


You're right, it's ambiguous how seriously Sidious was taking the fight. Still, if the producer said Savage did better than the 3 jedi combined (and doesn't contradict GL), he seems to be implying that Savage is at least a better fighter than each individually.

Not really. "The Wrong Jedi" is a great study in that; Anakin dispensed with Ventress rather handily when confronting her in the lower levels. Barris gave him hell throughout their final duel. But, joking aside, Barris is a padawan and would be mincemeat for Anakin or Ventress in an actual fight to the death. A better performance does not necessarily make one the better performer, if that makes sense.

Savage is definitely a threat to Council Masters, though: he defeated Adi Gallia, held his own against Ventress, and frustrated Anakin and Obi-Wan in season 3.

I need to re-read the book then. Though I would contend that there's a difference between AOTC Obi-Wan, and how he was in CW and ROTS.

I feel his feats aren't just more numerous, they're better.

CW isn't over yet, you know. stick out tongue

On par, I could see, I guess.

I thought Anakin was trying to nonfatally stop Barriss since he needed her testimony to free Ahsoka. And Ventress had not sabers. She was doomed to go down quickly.

That's how I justify her insanely brilliant display against Anakin as well (though he was pretty pissed off).

But that's my point: if Sidious were taking it easy on Savage (as Anakin did with Barriss), that doesn't mean Savage/Barriss is better than someone whom Sidious didn't go easy on simply by virtue of the fact that they lasted longer.

His feat of taking on Maul and Opress together is clearly beyond Fisto Imo.

I doubt he will have a better feat than that in upcoming episodes.

And even if we say that was a peak performance, fact is he was easily on par with Maul in their one on one.

For anyone to believe Fisto is in any kind of league to contend with either Maul or Opress, when he got battered by Ventress near AOTC time and even by ROTS was in no league to fight Sidious with a much more powerful ally at his side than either Maul/Opress had is beyond me.

And why? Because he beat Grievous? Big Woop.

If the Director of the show said that then he obviously thinks it's a comparable situation.

If Sidious was playing so much surely the Director should be aware of that, and hence not make an irrelevant comparison.

Also Palpatine was chuckling loads against Yoda too.

According to the official site Skywalker was battering through Barriss's defenses and she was running from him the whole time.

So ultimately she was no match for him at all.

Given that and the fact that no one official has made the comparison that Barriss did better against Anakin than Ventress did, it's really a completely moot point to discuss.

Maybe Sidious will recruit Barriss as the new Ventress laughing out loud

Okay so now that the bonus content doesn't have the rest of Maul's story, I'm hoping for something in Rebels.

But it seems unlikely due to Rebels having a totally different storyline involved with different characters, and the only possible alternative are the standalone films, and that is even more unlikely.

So I'm hoping for a end to this or I'll be treating the clone wars as non canon. Only because I don't like the idea of Maul being alive somewhere in the universe. lol

^ Maul's [post-Season 5] story will be concluded in the upcoming comic series Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir.

...The comic series will be just as canon as TCW, btw.

Oh true. Better than nothing I guess. But really Lucas should have made his $4 billion deal with disney AFTER the Clone Wars had finished.

He's already done that :P Also the new comic story arc for Maul SoD concludes his story and there is a screen shot of him capturing Dooku so it should be good. Hopefully we also learn how he escaped from Sidious.

Sounds like Maul's going to be pretty bad ass in SOD. Can't wait.

Slight Spoilers-

He's getting together his mandalorian army in issue 1, and going after Count Dooku and General Grievous in issue 2:
