Lightsaber Skills Rating Thread

Can this thread please be stickied?

O.K., I'm starting this thread to give the community an "official" general idea of each character's skill with a lightsaber. There can be variances of each character represented (ie; Vader presuit/Vader suited). Anyone who wants to, can join in, if you don't want to, please keep your comments to yourself. Here's how the rating system will go...

Each character gets 10 votes (1 vote per person) on a scale of 1-20, 1 being the lowest, 20 being the greatest or tied for the greatest duelist ever. The lowest vote for each character will be thrown out. When 10 votes have been accumulated, I or someone can total the votes and come up with an average, that number will be the "official" lightsaber skill rating for that particular character. If you are not a part of the 10 votes for a particular person, sorry tough luck. When one character is finished, "the first person" to mention a new character will take precedence, and that will be the next character to be rated. Here is an example of how the process will go...

Barriss Offee

Votes: 6, 7, 5, 4, 6, 9, 8, 7, 6, 8,

So here the low vote is 4, so that would be thrown out, the remaining 9 numbers would be totaled for an average. In this case...

Barriss Offee: Official Rating: 6.8

O.K., that was just an example, remember please try to keep all your biased thoughts in check, and give each character their full due.

First Candidate: Shaak Ti

All you have to do is put down a number, I'll start.

Shaak Ti: 14

Please keep your comments to yourself, if you want to "actually" participate in the thread fine, just don't be a troll.

problem. we can't do this one at a time. We have nothing to base our numbers off of.

This will end badly. We will want to change our votes just a few characters in,when ridiculous fallacy's happen.

Yeah this looks to be based on feeling and ideas. A canonical gauge is needed.

Base your numbers off who you think has the best lightsaber skills ever (that person being a 20). If in your mind that person is a 20, you should be able to give a value to someone else, based on how much worse you think they are in the grand scheme of things.

The problem with that is it takes way too long. Most people here have a pretty good grasp of what each character has done anyway.

But our very human ability to be unable to agree on so much stuff will lead to unpleasantness. That's why the autocracy of one man or group is needed, a la Leland Chee.

What I envisioned, was that there wouldn't even be any debating in this thread (thus no agreeing or disagreeing), each person would just put down a number and move on. Maybe that was wishful thinking.

Thank you for your vote, have a nice day.hi2

Shaak Ti: 8-1=7.

Ive been thinking about this, and I think I'll throw out the low vote as well as the high vote, it just makes sense.

Why the hell's everyone giving her such a low score? Shes at least a 12. I'd give her 14, like the other two.

Can't we have the same characters in both the Force Power and this thread?
