The Droid General runs the Guantlet

Dont forget, he has two magnaguards with him, and the are veteran jedi killers. If you read the ROTS novel, in the fight on the bridge, one almost killed Kenobi.

Asouka killed two or three of them by herself.

Magna Guards suck. 😐

not really. They are very skilled warriors, and have killed numerous Jedi.

Three of them were killed. By a youngling.

Still, that proves MagnaGuards are no match for the General's enemies.

Yeah, I know. 😄

At that point she'd only been a padawan for a couple of days. So even though her rank was Padawan, she hadn't had enough time to hone her skills to the point where she was on Padawan level. She had the skills of like, an advanced youngling.

And she still managed to defeat all three, while carrying an annoying, blithering baby hutt on her back.

Magnaguards were rubbish, on par with stormtroopers.

Still, I think you guys may be underestimating magnaguards. They are trained especially to kill jedi. And on the invisible hand, they each put up a good fight against kenobi and skywalker, of whom are both experienced jedi.

Then why did three of them get destroyed by one barely Padawan?

Because a poorly animated movie needed to establish the power level of a new character?

Poorly made or not, it is canon as far as EU is concerned, and therefore Asouka the barely Padawan level Jedi >> Magnaguards, no matter how wrong you feel it is. Canon is canon.

does the instance in that movie somehow negate any other established feat(s) the magnaguards have? hell, can we even confirm this movie's canonicity?

Not really, no. All of the feats that involve Magnaguards are done in EU canon, which means that they don't overrule each other. Do you really think GL would make an entire movie then deem it non-canon? That's retarded. It is apart of Star Wars continuity, and GL even does an interview on it explaining why he wanted this to happen and that to happen. It is apart of his "vision" so it is canon, like the movies.

EDIT- And just to WTFpwn any potential counter-arguments about the canon.

George Lucas is reportedly very involved in both new series, and is said to be going over all the scripts and giving notes. Collider says that within Lucasfilm both new series are considered official Star Wars canon, unlike the majority of "Expanded Universe" stories. One way that will be reflected is in the portrayal of Jedi, who will not be as unstoppable and superheroic (in terms of abilities) as they were portrayed in the earlier Clone Wars shorts, but more in line with their powerful but far from invulnerable portrayal in the films.

So it's not even EU Canon. It's movie canon, which means that any feats performed in the Clone Wars movie overrule anything done in the EU.

Either Asouka is really really good with a lightsaber, or the magnaguards really are just that lame...

Official movie canon has spoken. haermm

That is unreal though. 2 magna guards put up good fights against kenobi and anakin, while asoka defeated three single handedly. Anyway, I think that the two magna guards flanking Grievous should have the same power as in Rots, not CW.

People react differently to different opponents.

Take the Redskins for example. They beat the Giants pretty well, who, as we all know, beat the Pats in the Super Bowl, but the Pats killed the Redskins in devastating fashion. Just depends on who you're facing.
