Top 10 Jedi Duelists of the PT Era

Started by Darth Subjekt14 pages

Yea, there's this guy, maybe you've heard of him, his name is Anakin. There's this other guy named Dooku, too. He's pretty good.

Darth Subjekt, unless you didn't notice, this is a top ten JEDI duelists. So that rules "This other guy named dooku", out.
Any ways, I have finished my list.

1. Yoda
2. Mace Windu
3. Obi-Wan Kenobi
4. Anakin Skywalker
5. Qui-Gon Jinn
6. Cin Drallig
7. Tholme
8. Kit Fisto
9. Plo Koon
10. Saesee Tinn or Ki-Adi Mundi

Yoda
Mace Windu
Count Dooku
Anakin Skywalker
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Depa Billaba
Plo Koon
Qui-Gon Jinn
Sora Bulq
Kit Fisto

Actually, now that I think about it, in ep. 1 dooku was a jedi. So here's my new list:
1. Yoda
2. Mace Windu
3. Count Dooku
4. Obi-Wan Kenobi
5. Anakin Skywalker
6. Qui-Gon Jinn
7. Depa Billaba
8. Sora Bulq
9. Cin Drallig
10. Kit Fisto

Skywalker, Anakin < Dooku < Obi-Wan. Anakin is canonically stated to be superior to Obi-Wan, and I- along with many others- have explained time and time again why Anakin's defeat of Dooku was legit.

thank you for realizing that. I was hoping i wouldn't have to point that out. 🙂

Just because he defeated dooku while kenobi didn't doesn't mean he is better. Dooku was specifically told to deal with kenobi first. They are equals in skill, but due to experience and smarts, kenobi will win about 6/10 times .

Multiple sources stated that Anakin is better. And provide a quote that Dooku was told to specifically deal with Kenobi first.

That doesn't matter. The novel makes it clear that even after Dooku rejuvenated himself with the force, Anakin- when deciding to win- utterly decimated Dooku without fully using his power.

Oh, and Anakin > Obi-Wan in skill. He is capable of defeating or holding his own against multiple enemies stronger than what Obi-Wan is capable of dealing. Just because Obi-Wan can- and will- defeat Anakin a second time doesn't mean that he is necessarily better. Anakin is, in general, a superior swordsman and combatant.

If you read Rots, you would know that Palpatine told dooku on page 53

"Kenobi must die. Today. At your hand. His death might be the final lock that will seal skywalker to us forever."
And Dooku thought that once he killed Obi-Wan, Skywalker would turn. but that didn't happen.

Nah. Dooku, mid-combat (while fighting the duo, mind you), reasoned that, being in his situation (losing), he decided to go all-out and try to kill them. And when Anakin was owning him, Dooku realized that Sidious betrayed him and therefore logically fought for his life. He tried his best to kill Anakin, and failed. Anakin > Dooku.

Kenobi won the mustafar fight. He won. Lots of people make silly excuses as to why, but they are wrong. Sure, anakin can defeat opponents that Obi-Wan can't. Like dooku. And obi wan can defeat opponents anakin can't. like grievous. but if they fight, obi wan will win the majority of the time.

According to the novelization, Count Dooku was aware that the situation had been engineered as a test. He knew that Palpatine was testing Skywalker's combat skills and his aptitude for the dark side, and he also knew that he was being tested to see if he was skilled enough to eventually take mastery for himself. What the Count wasn't aware of was that the "test" was actually a snare that would end in Dooku's death -- he actually believed, even if he failed to subdue Skywalker, Palpatine would save him.

Yeah, I really don't get Dooku's mentality there. He ran that particular sentence through his mind like a veritable mantra, and was surprised when he was betrayed.

Alzheimer's 😕

Yeah, I admitted that Anakin can beat dooku while obi wan probably can't. But when anakin and obi 1 fight, obi will win the majority of the time.

That doesn't make Obi-Wan a superior fighter. He isn't (as confirmed by Nick Gillard).

Anakin may be the superior fighter, but obi 1 is wiser, therefore will exploit a weakness in anakin and win.

I know. But Anakin, being the superior fighter, deserves to be higher up on the list than Obi-Wan. I'm certain Obi-Wan will take a rematch.
