Vaapad? Hahahaha.

Yoda has some serious troubles with Palpy. But then, there's your inflation of baddies and fights thing again. After all, would this mean Mace was a better swordsman than Yoda?

Why does that seem so ridiculous to you?

It doesn't, it just gets very confusing... Personally I can't see Mace beating Yoda either, but if this is a debate about lightsabre fighting styles, then I'm out because I think that debate sucks.

You're just biased because the EU ate your baby. Mate.

The EU in most cases is an eternal joke that makes a lot of money.

No. How can one discuss lightsabre fighting styles when we don't know how it works, other than the bloody EU. All we have is ROTS to kinda find out how Vapaad works and whatever OB1's style is. But we can never compare them in duel against each other. So debate becomes.... ahemm.... academic. Or should I say Nerdemic.

Fighting styles?

Hahaha.

Lightsabers are lightsabers, everyone has their own unique style.

Not according to Mr. Lucas. You don't have to agree, nor do you have to comprehend it. But if it's mentioned in the novel, then it would count as canon. Vaapad gives Mace an advantage (not a guaranteed victory, mind you) against any dark sider. Something that wouldn't work against Yoda. You can say that "a lightsaber is a lightsaber" all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that people use it with different styles.

I guess different kung fu styles seems stupid to you too, huh?

And considering that the lightsaber forms are based off of REAL sword fighting styles, save for Vaapad's force advantage, there's not really much to dispute.

I would love to watch the movies and see if they talk about this but I know they don't so i will not waste my time.

Obviously everyone has their style, but I am sure they wouldn't limit themselves to one specific style.

Why would they waste screen time talking about something like fighting styles? That's what the novel is for; to expand of other aspects that are cut out of the movie for timing reasons. It even states that OB1 was the best one to fight GG because of his... *gasp* style!

They wouldn't and didn't becuase they don't exist.

Hahaha.

Novel Canon would seem to disagree with you. Deal with it.

Novel Canon? I guess Uncle Owen is Obi-Wan's brother then right? (ROTJ novel)

The Nightmare Never Ends.

Hahaha.

That's a direct contradiction. The styles are not. That's common sense.

This is so much fun.

What, that you think you're getting to me? Well, you're not, for one. And that's real mature anyways. Keep it up, kid. 👆

You shouldn't take the internet so seriously man....

How do you think I am sane?

I don't. I'm not upset at all. My frustrations end with a click of a mouse.

Such lovely prose.
