Darth Maul versus John Preston.....

DDM is right. A plasma blade weighs nothing, it's entirely different than swinging a katana or a regular sword.

Han turned it on and sliced open a Taun Taun, he didn't handle it in a duel, bad example. And if I recall correctly, he looked a bit akward handling it.

Holding it weighs less sure. And the blade itself is different sure, but no - that doesn't mean Preston, or anyone for that matter - can't use one.

Just saying, Preston handling a katana, then putting the katana down and picking up a lightsaber, there's a huge difference.

So you are coming in just to say that a katana and a lightsaber aren't the same?

They are the same basic weapon, but at the same time entirely different. I thought that's what we were discussing?

Preston has been trained as a Sith and is armed with a red lightsaber, and has exceptional force powers,

Why do you do this? If he's been trained in those aspects then it's not actually John Preston is it? You'd be as well saying Elmo vs Darth Maul where Elmo has been trained as a Sith and has force powers equal to Maul.

Actually that'd be ****in' class. Darth Elmo.

But that'd just be silly.

Yep...So is giving powers to characters who don't actually have them. Thus making them inherently different and completely nullifying the comparison between the 2 characters.

If you can't make a thread that doesn't involve drastically changing a character's ability from what is shown in their respective film in order for them to have a chance at winning/being beaten then don't bother making it in the 1st place.

pm Impediment, if he thinks the thread is out of order, then he'll close it. But then he'd have to close like half the threads here.

BTW: It'd be easier to discuss a new scenario, you know, instead of bitching and moaning about it.

Or we can just accept the Preston's good, but he's no match for a Force using, lightsabre wielding, mothering ****ing Sith assassin like Darth Maul and move on.

You think Maul is faster?

He should be, with the Force and shit.

Going off screen-feats, Preston is a bit faster, but not fast enough to [logically] trump the precog.

How about this scenario:

Preston enters a wormhole and is dropped into the SW universe, and encounters Maul. They fight. Maul decides to engage with no offensive force powers, and Prestons sword is made of cortosis.

Well, as we have all seen in the SW movies, precog is not infallible.

You're right, it's one of the many reason why someone of Spiderman's capabilities rips a Jedi a new *******.

But Preston simply isn't fast.

🙄 You just love doing that, dont you.

BTW, a Jedi's precog was shown as faulty ONLY when facing another force user.

And being shot by regular smucks and retard droids, you mean, right?

Retard droids? You mean Genosis? Because the Jedi were incredibly outnumbered there, they fell due to sheer numbers. What regular smucks? The clones? Because the force was hazy due to Sidious, remember?

That still counters your "only by another force user" argument. These do too:

-Fishface was shot by Jango; it was 1 on 1.

-Conehead wasn't shot in the back, he saw the attack coming; tried to defend himself, but 4 Clones overpowered his precog.
