JA Trilogy Luke vs RoT Bane

Wow, you must really care about me to spend so much time simply to insult me. How charming.

Or perhaps I'm just one of those miserable young people who enjoy mocking those of lesser stature, nature, and intelligence. Or maybe I have a crush on you and the insults are a juvenile, grade school attempt at shielding it.

Definitely the latter.

Don't go giving things away, Faunus, or I'll have to attack you with a dead frozen salmon.

Luke wouldn't win a force battle. But his saber abilities at this point were good enough that Leia couldn't follow Luke as he dueled Palpatine. He wasn't even a blur, just a light.

According to LS, he was in some sort of state akin to Ganner Rhysode's last stand, or Jacen's transformation in TUF, so it's not really an accurate gauge of his own ability at the time.

If that is the case, then so was Palpatine.

Guess so. Supposedly, this all comes from an audiobook, so we'd have to ask him.

How in the hell can you conclude that? The gap between Skywalker and Sidious in terms of acquired mastery and ability is monumental; the Emperor had already kicked the shit out of Luke in a lightsaber battle not too long before their second round.

Leia pretty much feels the two have just become pure avatars of light and darkness.

yea yea yea. I wish both of them had some sort of personality.

And Banes saber abilities were good enough 10 years Before this point that for him, time itself stood still and he easily curbstomped someone who was thought to be the Sith'ari

Yes. At no point was Bane described moving THAT fast. Especially in RoT when other combatants seem to be able to watch him just fine

Did you read the post above yours? He was completely invisible to other trained Force-users, and he was fast enough in RoT that the likes of Farfalla and Raskta were nearly trampled to death when he rushed at them, and only managed to get out of the way because they were being empowered by battle meditation.

Clearly, he's fast.

And? Anakin Skywalker "curbstomped" someone who was suspected to have possibly been the Chosen One [Count Dooku]. Since, clearly, the Chosen One > Sith'ari, I guess Skywalker curbstomps Bane.

1. I've never heard of Dooku being considered the Chosen one.
2. It can't really be called a 'win' for Skywalker as clearly Vader wasn't going full out, as Luke himself actually acknowledges.
3. The Sith'ari> the Chosen one.

I believe it was either Dark Rendezvous or Labyrinth of Evil. Or perhaps I'm wrong alltogether, and if proven so, will concede.

Huh? I was merely using your circular logic against you and this response isn't relevant, but the point is that if Bane's supposed to be uber for kicking the ass of someone thought to be the Sith'ari, Anakin Skywalker is even more uber since he kicked the ass of a much more experienced, seasoned, and powerful opponent who may or may not have been thought to have been the Chosen One.

3. The Sith'ari> the Chosen one.

Because you say so? You're most decidedly not me, and only my opinions can be considered fact without the basis of logical support. The Chosen One was a.) the person with the most powerful attunement and potential within the Force and b.) the person who brought total balance to the Force by defeating the most powerful Sith in history [Palpatine]. If we are to assume that Bane is the Sith'ari, all he did was institute a new code for the Sith before dying without any significant achievement. The only dark sider who compares to the Chosen One would be the Emperor.

But I guess it does help your case to randomly assert "LOLZ SITHARY > CHOZUN ONE!!1!" so I suppose I'll permit you to do so.
