and they're shit too, Dralling wasn't just taken out easily, Anakin was nonchalant about doing it; sidious blitzed the squad but Anakin rolled right through dralling like he was nothing.. big difference
I really don't know how you can call Kenobi a "prodigy". Sure he may be a Council Level Jedi Master, and you could argue that he is "somewhat" talented. That is no reason to call him a "prodigy". That is a term which should be used for the top 0.1% of people in the group. Kenobi to me is too reliant on PIS for his victories and doesn't have any impressive feats to his name.
I feel Kenobi is getting overrated. I browsed the threads from 2012, 2013, 2014, etc. Their placement of Kenobi to me seems more accurate. Don't flip out though, this is my perspective which may be wrong.
Would you agree, prodigies such as exar/ulic/malak/revan/Malgus/Bane
are all 8 tier in dueling? As they shine far above the expert swordsmen of their days.
The number scale that Gillard uses should be reserved for the film characters to avoid diluting it with arbitrariness. But I would say Exar, Ulic, Revan etc. are definitely of Obi-Wan or Maul's class. Malgus and Bane, possibly, but they'd be lower.
Not convinced on Malak, though. He's obviously not in Revan's league.
Except they're not shit, they're some of the best swordsman in the order which is why Mace brought them with him. Compared to Sidious they're shit, but that's Sidious... And it's really not different at all, being cut down nonchalantly by Anakin-a tier 9 swordsman- is just as bad as 3 Jedi masters being blitzed by Sidious-also a tier 9 swordsman.
