Bit of a debate about Vader's Lightsabre stat. We know it's gone down from when he was Anakin, but we'd rather emphasise more of the drop on stat loss than skill loss- probably no more than a point lost, skill wise.
Just to make it worse, in the new system- were a point of sabre makes less difference than it used to- that whole area mighr be re-calibrated. 17 was the rough maximum before; now it could stretch to 20, perhaps.
On the other hand, the duelling would have to be re-designed if so, because some people would then become ludicrously unbeatable in a duel. So we'll see.
Ludicroulsy unbeatable isn't unrealistic, for some. Look at how easily Sidious took down three masters. Even Yoda said that Obi-Wan couldn't touch him. It just makes a difference what stat a person gets. Sidious and Yoda were probably 20's. Anakin and Obi 18-19. Anakin just walked through any number of Jedi, so the players here, even as above average, would be nowhere near that level. So without actually doing the math, 13-15 still seems realistically inline with the movies. Just my take.
Well, I think we can write off those Masters to dramatic necessity.
And taking game necessity into the equation... I don't want the jedi players to see themselves as below average, or even 'average'. 14 is meant to be the skill of a competent Jedi, not just a normal one, and th 'average' jedi Master has a 15. People going past that really are going into the realm of the legendary, and then having legendary and then legendary plus AND legendary plus-plus is getting us a bit into comic book areas.
Maybe stretch it to 18, which might make Kuylen a fit 17 (with Dooku, Yoda and Sidious being less fit 18s; Windu probably tops the league, thoughn clearly his 8 is in Strength).
