Smartass! Everyone knows Ashoka tops the list relative to her era, Kenobi is a joke, and Plo Koon rules the world (except for Tano of course).

Actually, that's really embarrassing.

I've asked a mod to edit in Plo and drop Kenobi.

in all honesty, its probably time we asked a mod to shut these two forums down... : ) I mean, this unknown person asks a perfectly legitimate (if rather longwinded) question, and we give him... what we have given him... lol, someone needs to put us out of our misery.

Star wars is slowly dying.

Are you kidding me? The Old Republic is getting released soon. You know how much extra information that's going to give us?

Better - at least you're aware of your failures as a poster and as a human being.

I only have the energy to list the 5 best ever:

1. Kas'im
2. Mace Windu
3. Raskta Lsu
4. Bane
5. Yoda/Sidious

I don't think Windu's technical proficiency surpasses that of Yoda, who I would place at number 1.

Legacy era (130 ABY+):
1. Krayt
2. Wyyrlok
3. Cade
4. Vao (who pretty much only used sabers and held his own with practically everyone)
5. Nihl
6. Talon
7. Ganner Kreig

Mace mastered all seven forms, then created Vapaad himself...You can't fight any better than Yoda, but I believe his diminutive size kept him from mastering as many lightsaber forms.

He trained younglings for decades but was never a Jedi Battlemaster, that I've so far read.

Most entries can't be accurately placed in to an order, stuff becomes to foggy and subjective.

The Dread Lord Kas'im the Magnificent. Bane. Revan (probably). Malak (probably). Raskta Lsu. Tulak Hord (probably). Exar Kun. Bastila (probably). The Exile (possibly). Nomi Sunrider (probably).

I honestly can't thin of anymore biggies.

Palpatine. Yoda. Mace Windu. Dooku. Maul. Anakin. Obi-Wan. Ahsoka Tano. Cin Drallig. Anoon Bondara.

That's not all of them, but f*ck listing everyone that comes off as "proficient".

Luke. Caedus. Kyle Katarn. Corran Horn. Hyp Durron. Ganner "F*ck Everyone" Rhysode. Lumiya (possibly). Palpatine again. Jaina.

Again, that's not everyone.

No friggin way.

It's never been stated canonically that Windu "mastered all seven forms."

And Mace Windu was never Battlemaster either, rendering that comment irrelevant.

Yes. Battlemaster seems to be a teaching position- only occasionally does the very best duelist fill it.

Spoiler:
The Jedi Path disagrees. Battlemasters seem to possess the most refined dueling skill of their era, though naturally other colleagues may possess a more decisive advantage: Such as a superior strength in the Force. There's a reference to this by Count Dooku and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the book....

Can you bring up the quote so we may disect it?

Except, Yoda DID master all seven forms.

Spoiler:
Don’t ask me for a direct quote, I don’t have it at hand, but I know it exists.
It was stated in SW Encyclopedia of sth or whatever.

My list:

Top 5 of the Old Republic Era: 25000-1000 BBY
Exar Kun, Kas’im, Bane, Revan (?) Tulak Hord (?)

Top 5 of the Rise of the Empire Era: 1000-0 BBY
Yoda, Mace, Anakin, Dooku, Sidious

Top 5 of New Jedi Order/Legacy Era: 0-40 ABY
Luke, Caedus, Katarn, Horn, hmm….

Raskta Lsu was also portrayed as being extremely skilled. She killed more Sith than the Force Bomb.

Q99

3. Cade
4. Vao (who pretty much only used sabers and held his own with practically everyone)
5. Nihl
6. Talon

Hm, on second though, Talon was good with a blade while Nihl used the force more... talon might be 4th-5th. Hard to say between her and Vao.

Yea, weak in the force, but she was carrying her team against Bane and Zannah. Only even went down to a shot from the back even.
