He does, actually. He borrows quite a bit from Legends, and there's some references to Legends in both the films and TCW.
Grievous isn't a match for any of the tier 9's, that much is obvious.
Filoni has a much older and presumably more more masterful Ahsoka challenging Vader, not the one who fought Grievous, lol.
And he only beat Nahdar unfairly by drawing a blaster during a bladelock. I don't recall him even being at an advantage beforehand, tbh.
It's too bad he doesn't keep up this standard consistently, which is another problem TCW has. It's by far the most inconsistent medium in SW.
There seems to be the implication that Eeth Koth is his rough equal. And Grievous doesn't consistently keep up with that standard.
Yes, it does.
I'm pretty sure he did (personally, in fact), but failed to maintain that standard for Grievous.
Legends had to incorporate canon, lol. It began as an expansion of the films. That's no fault at all.
The Prequels did not ignore Legends - it even took some Legends ideas and implemented them. TCW is by far the worst offender. Prior to that, there weren't any major timeline issues or discrepancies.
TFA was the product of a Canon revamp, lol. We're discussing a potential film with Legends intact.
Lucas ignored Legends but still allowed it to flourish, even when he made the Prequels. And yes, TOR's Legends, yet it still offends the continuity drastically.
Yeah but same can be said for Filoni and the new Canon.
They didn't ALWAYS contradict it, and certainly borrowed elements from it (Ergo Thrawn coming to Rebels now), but they contradicted it plenty, because they were never following it in the first place. They just borrow what they like, and ignore/contradict what they don't like.
The grand inquisitor lost to a early series Kanan. Pong krell although doesn’t have any dueling feats and little force feats is a Jedi master and would without a doubt be able to wash Kanan. He would do the same to GI
The Grand Inquisitor has been proven capable of defeating Jedi Council level foes, when he casually brought down Jocasta Nu. Meanwhile, Krell has literally no dueling feats, and caught the clones by surprise when he attacked. Had the clones gotten the drop on Krell, things would have played out way differently. There's no proof that Krell is a truly formidable melee combatant against other capable duelists.
As for the G.I. being bested by Kanan, that was an EXTREMELY situational win on Kanan's part. Just moments before, the G.I. had been easily taking down both Kanan and Ezra like they were nothing, and prior to that, the Grand Inquisitor never even actually needed more than one blade active to tool Kanan. Season 1 Kanan<<<<<<The Grand Inquisitor. Heck, the Grand Inquisitor is well above both the 7th Sister and 5th Brother, both fully trained Jedi Knights who individually rivaled Season 2 Kanan.
I just don't see a valid argument for Pong Krell winning this. He's virtually featless as far as dueling is concerned, and his performance against a bunch of clones who he got the drop on is hardly indicative of his true combative ability.
I woudlnt say that. Kanan gave his best performance to date against G.I. that whole fight. Even before Ezra was injured he held his own quite well. Especially so considering he had been tortured for days.
That said, I agree it was a peak performance by Kanan, and G.I. always held the TK advantage over him.
