I'm confused on one thing... The Force is ALWAYS a factor in lightsaber combat. And when there is not a clear enough margin to defeat the other opponent with sheer Force power, despites are always settled with the lightsaber. I mean, if you could just force choke/lightning/push/slap anyone just like the games, all the time, why would Maul have even wasted a second or two melee fighting Qui Gon and Obi Wan? Why did Vader is ESB even trade blows with his son when he could have just levitated and held his ass in the carbonite? Why why why?
The answer? Because unless one takes the other by complete surprise, or there is a fundamental lacking in Force knowledge to counter an attack, such attacks on another Sith or Jedi aren't anywhere near as effective as they are on say, a normal citizen or non force sensitive alien. That's just the way it is. If sheer Force power was a deciding factor in combat among Force users, there would have been no exchanges of blows between Obi Wan and Anakin all those times.
Think about KotOR. Think about when you use Force powers before you start fighting someone whether it's insanity or stasis field or whatever you pick to stun your opponent. That's what I'm talking about when I say Force powers. Jolee has a better command of the Force so he could use those powers more effectively than Qui-Gon who would probably just come at him with a lightsaber. While Qui-Gon's incapacitated, that's when Jolee draws his lightsaber and makes quick work of Qui-Gon.
See, this is the problem with pitting movie characters against characters from KotOR. It gives the video game characters and unfair advantage because of the variety of Force powers they can use. We don't see characters in the movies use Force powers all that much. I don't really think it's a good idea to make vs. threads between game and non-game characters.
Well, it's pretty straight forward and outside of game mechanics just how far the Force is effective in Jedi versus Jedi or Sith combat. Even Sidious, for all his unholy power, draws his lightsaber when confronted by Mace and the other Jedi Masters. For the sake of making the game fun (whether it's Jedi Outcast, Academy, Dark Forces, KOTOR etc.) the Force is used rather liberally. But in the movies and books, we know that this is not the case, and thus we can apply it to game characters and come to reasonable conclusions. To simply say we cannto judge them based on one another defeats the purpose of this whole section of the forum. Jolee, outside of gameplay combat (Which is not a good thing to cite as proof of ability, since all characters can use all the powers in that game) demonstrates nothing that shows he is better than Qui Gon, and since he is more of a gray Jedi and a passivist, I don't think it's likely he'd defeat Qui Gon in a pitched battle. Simple enough.
I get what you're saying there. However, outside of the game we don't know just how Jolee would fight. Using game mechanics as my argument, all characters fight with the same movements and more or less the same speed. The only variable is statistics which can be modified from game to game to increase defense or strength or whatever you want. Take Jolee out of the game and pit him against Qui-Gon and we may see Jolee pull some moves we've never seen before because he couldn't use them in the game.
And alignment (neutral, light, dark) gives us an idea of ability how?
i dunno, i think jolee would win.
in kotor 1 he is just an expirienced ex jedi. in kotor 2 he is treated as a legendary jedi,
u can get his robe and he is mentioned in dialogs a few times i think.
anyways, he had to be a good fighter to survive in shadowlands, and also, it matters not that he was gray. he just pushed away the council but did not embrace dark side, so he was still servant of light. indeed u cant tell which powers he can use and ehich he cant, but still, he was best NPC in kotor 1, and i played that game like 20 times(so u can trust me, with the differences made, he was still best) and why dont u think he couldnt fight maul? he fought revan(althou he lost, but so did qui gon) and i think we all agree that revan would own maul
