Greatest Lightsaber Duelist

It's hard to come up with a specific order/ranking. Instead, I tried to place them in tiers/groupings.

1. Master Yoda/Mace Windu/Sidious
2. Luke Skywalker/Anakin (when focused i.e. 2nd fight w/ Dooku)
3. Count Dooku/Galen Marek/Exar Kun
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Darth Maul/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Kas’sim/Depa Billaba
5. Asajj Ventress/Darth Vader (suited)/General Grievous/Kit Fisto/Plo Koon/Sora Bulq/Shaak Ti/Qui-Gon Jinn
6. Saesee Tin/Agen Kolar/Quinlan Vos/Aayla Secura/several other prominent Jedi

Can't anyone put together a decent order these days?

Mace and Dooku were said to be equals in combat, Luke is definitely in the top tier and what has Galen Marek proven with a lightsaber?

Revised

1. Yoda/ Luke/ Revan/ Sidious
2. Mace Windu/ Dooku/ Darth Traya
3. Darth Caedus/ Kas'sim
4. Obi Wan- Kenobi/ Anakin/
5. Darth Bane/ Exar Kun/ Ulic
6. Maul/ Malik
7. Qui-Gon Jin/ Shaak Ti

Why are Revan, Malak, and Traya up there? Why is Bane so far beneath Kas'im? Why isn't Kolar, Tiin, and Fisto there, but Jinn is? Where's Katarn?

u put them in tiers and then don't put luke in the top tier? Really?

Yeah... really!!! It's my interpretation dude. What of it? I don't regard NJO shit as highly as most around here. So What? In pure combat, Luke might be top tier, but as far as a lightsaber duelist... I think not.

Galen/Starkiller WTF PWN'D Darth Vader w/ a lightsaber. Absolutely tooled his ass. And Mace would wipe the floor w/ Dooku. As for Luke; read my last post.

1. Yoda - extremely quick and agile, hundreds of years old so he's probably extremely experienced, also really hard to hit due to his size.

2. Kas'im - mastered all the forms and was arguably the best swordsman ever.

3. Count Dooku - able to compete with Yoda, take on both Anakin and Obi-Wan at the same time and he seemed to do so pretty effortlessly.

4. Bane - really powerful in the Force and had moved beyond sheer moves and sequences, completely trashed Sirak who was a prodigy and the most powerful Apprentice in the Academy, and was able to overwhelm Kas'im in the early segment of their duel.

5. Darth Sidious? I feel he feigned weakness and threw the fight with Mace Windu to help turn Anakin to the darkside, and he seemed to be performing pretty well against Yoda.

Oops, forgot about Darth Maul, he was able to take on both Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, maybe put him at 5 and Sidious at 6?

Nobody on this forum cares about your "interpretation", dude. If you can't back up your posts, then don't post. This isn't an opinion based forum, but an argument based forum. Either put up or shut up.

I don't know about the novel but as for the cutscene in the game: he first severely weakens him by using the Force and dropping a lot of metal on him, and then he starts using his lightsaber.

And Mace would wipe the floor w/ Dooku.

Not according to this quote: "Among the other Jedi, perhaps only Mace Windu would have been his [Dooku's] equal on neutral ground. But here on Vjun, steeped in the dark side, his bladework was malice made visible-wickedness cut in red light" -Yoda and Dooku duelling on Vjun.

Yes I’m going to keep using this quote until everyone has seen it.

As for Luke; read my last post.

Yeah… what DS said. If we’re going by interpretation, then Revan should be the number one duelist while everyone else is 5 tiers below him. But luckily, in order to debate about fictional characters with other people, you have to use proof and facts to back up your point.
