Best saber duelists

On another note not sure why people are rating Obi-Wan above Maul considering they've fought a few times now and if anything Maul's usually been shown to be the superior combatant.

Probably because Obi-wan continues to improve and his win against Anakin is incredibly impressive.

From what the novel is saying

Spoiler:
Maul is also becoming more powerful as the war goes on. His next fight with Obi-Wan will be in the very next episode, and Maul definitely grows more powerful after that fight as he trains Savage and as his anger grows.

Anyway considering all the accounts from the EU and from Dave Filoni's statements about how skilled and well trained Maul is, I personally have a very hard time seeing any version of Kenobi being above Maul at the height of his power.

How does suit Vader compare to Maul in sabers?

Poorly. He only uses one.

Though in skill I'd go with Vader.

I'd give Strength and Power to Vader. Speed and Mobility to Maul.

Both have great skill. But if I was to give anyone the edge in skill then it would probably be Maul.

I'm just thinking of the number of masters and knights that Vader has beaten down. He's got a good deal more experience.

In terms of overall power my list would be

Tier 1😛alpatine,Darth Tyranus/Count Dooku,Mace Windu,Yoda,Anakin Sywalker
Tier 2😮bi Wan Kenobi(ROTS),OT Darth Vader
Tier 3:Maul,Kit Fisto,Ki Adi Mundi,Shaak Ti,Plo Koon,Depa Billba,General Grievous,Qui Gon Jinn

Kao Cen Darach's blade-work is also amazing. He was able use a double-bladed lightsaber in conjunction with a normal lightsaber with great skill in a duel.

Tulak Hord is the greatest lightsaber duelists to have ever lived.

Khem in the Inquisitor storyline of TOR tells some stories that make him seem pretty legitimately amazing. Soloing armies and such, which I know you get wet over.

Tulak Hord's story should be deeply explored IMO.

Kas'im was the most knowledgeable and well-trained master of the lightsaber. He studied and improved his technical skills for decades. Luke Skywalker proved most prodigious and was the quickest learner, it was a sixth sense if you will. He was able to instantly learn Form V during his duel with Vader aboard the second Death Star. He was a freak.

In Bane's opinion and nothing more.

Obi-Wan is the most skilled duelist.

Spoiler:
He handed Maul and Savage their asses, after all.

No he literally spent about thirty years perfecting his mastery of seven lightsaber forms, his proficiency with three different types of lightsabers, and his technical skills.

As far as who could win a lightsaber duel that would be Mace Windu, Luke Skywalker, but that's beside the point - most of that comes from the Force.
