Oh. I thought EU was canon... SILLY ME!!! doh
Regardless, Kit has shown us much more than ANY of the other background Jedi in the movies, excluding Ki-Adi-Mundi. He has the most screen time of ANY of the background Jedi (ex Ki AGAIN) in AOTC, and maybe even ROTS. In AOTC, he is one of FOUR Jedi to lead the Jedi Army into battle on Geonosis. As he runs into battle in the arena, he is easily the most noticeable (having been closest to the screen) and fastest Jedi there. He even manages to knock over the half battle-droid, half protocol-droid C-3PO in the arena, and smiles after a Super Battle Droid coincidentally lands on top of it.
In Episode III, he is one of three Jedi to put up some kind of fight against Darth Sidious. And personally, I thought he did VERY well (in fact, better than Mace at the time -- he only delivered TWO [very, VERY predictable and slow] blows to Sidious during that ENTIRE scene, although this is understandable considering the small amount of space he had to execute his Vaapad fueled moves) UNTIL he received that very unexpected and UNFAIR blow to the waist.
Kit certainly was NEVER afraid of delivering his absolute best in battle. We see that in both AOTC and ROTS. He has proven he is NOT weak, having PWNED wave after wave of battle droids, and being one of 20 Jedi to survive the extended Melee on Geonosis, and even managing to hold his own against the Sith Lord himself for a brief amount of time. He is a very courageous Jedi too -- in AOTC he had the guts to run HEADFIRST into battle against the battle droids, despite knowing he was obviously outnumbered. In ROTS, although it is a very subtle thing to note, Kit walks closest to Palpatine as the Jedi attempt to arrest him. It just goes to show that HE was not scared of the evil Sith Lord. This is further proven as he doesn't even hesitate to give the Sith Lord his best in battle as the two confront each other later on (unlike Agen and Saesee who failed to block two of possibly the easiest-to-block moves in HISTORY)
Plus, the fact that Sidious killed Kit just goes to show that only the Lord of the Sith himself could bring Kit down. In fact, I think being killed by a Sith Lord is the most honorable way a Jedi of Kit's caliber could go down. At least, it's better than being shot in the back, IMO.
Counting EU or not, Kit is still by no means a WUSS. At least not to me. 🙂

The Jedi had a good union. That was Palpatine's TRUE motive for getting rid of them. Bastard Jedi, sucking the Republic's warfunds away on Dental Hygiene.
Very unlikely. The Republic had quite a checkbook.

Being one of the leaders of the Jedi Army, I'd say Kit would've had to fight MUCH harder than the other Jedi to ensure victory, especially as that was his sole task -- to ensure the Jedi he was leading emerged victorious. BTW, the other leaders of the Jedi Army were Mace Windu, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Plo Koon and Shaak Ti. Personally, I think that just abouts sums up who the greatest Jedi of the Order were (including Yoda).
And once again, I'll state that (IMO) Kit did very well against the Chancellor until he received that blow to the waist. It did not seem as if Sidious had totally overpowered him throughout the entire duel - Kit seemed to fight him fairly evenly throughout - so I don't see how it is fair to identify Kit as weak because of how he fought Sidious. Of course, Sidious was obviously a far more skilled duelist than Kit, that I'm not complaining, and that is ultimately why he went down so quickly. NOT because he was weak. Just not as great as Sidious. That's all.

Clones are not dolls. That is EFFING INSULTING. They are men. Flesh and blood. They bleed. They die. They had their lives sacrificed for them so they could serve an organization that neither respect them nor cares about their contributions. And you want to come in and use them as SEX TOYS?!! I really don't understand how you can live with yourself as a human being. Do you want clones to go get your groceries and do your laundry too? maybe they should wash you in the show and come home and open their arses for your personal pleasure. You'd betray their unconditional loyalty just to get some cheap sexual pleasure out of this? Maybe then we con strap grenades to them and blow them up, telling them that its for the "good of the Republic," and then laugh about how stupid they are. We can laugh about how they have no lives or free wills, how they were bred to be ignorant, treated like crap, and then still acted like the men you couldn't be.Sounds like a real good time. I'd tell my vode to shoot you on sight.

I have butsecks with my clone every friday, then he makes me waffles in the morning.
