anakin ROTS runs the gauntlet

Anakin as of ROTS, with full rest in btwn. fights. how far does he get?

1. Saesee Tiin

2. Darth Maul TPM

3. Luke Skywalker (ESB)

4. Count Dooku

5. Prime Revan

6. Prime Kyle Katarn

7. Luke Skywalker (RotJ)

How far does he get?

2 and 3 need to be switched, anyways.

1.Anakin wins. Some trouble.
2.Anakin wins in a close fight.
3.Anakin SLAUGHTERHOUSE.
4.Anakin wins 3-4 fights out of 10. Could win depending on mindset.

If he gets by 4 which is very possible.

He might beat 5 or 6 and beats 7.

So he could clear depending on 4. POssible.

serious underestimation for luke, he beat lord vader, who at that time was 80% of sidious, and in ESB he puts up a damn good fight

1.ESB Luke is not above Maul, and Vader was toying with him.
2.Vader and Luke stalemated in skill. When Luke got mad he overpowered Vader. Vader=Luke in sabers. But if Vader had used his power(force) Luke would have died fast. Dooku>Vader in sabers, so Dooku>Luke with a saber obviously.

im honestly not so sure that i can say Dooku > Vader in sabers, considering that he had a very unique style, implementing ALL forms of lighsaber combat into one, ruthlessly efficient style.

Dooku also had knowledge of all forms. What's your point?
Even against this very unique style utilizing all forms, old dried up Ben Kenobi was able to fight him to an impasse.
Do you seriously think Old Obi-Wan Kenobi would last more than a minute against Dooku?

isnt it stated somewhere that vader knew what to do this time, and instead didnt get caught up in his emotions? then kenobi figures out he wont be able to beat vader, so instead of continuing the fight, he sacrifices himself to teach skywalker one last lesson.

Edit: plus this isnt even vader in his prime.

Even if that's true. That doesn't mean Vader would beat Kenobi. The two of them were at an impasse. Dooku would pwn Old Kenobi even more quickly than he did Prime Kenobi.

In Sabers? because if i remember correctly (from the novel) dooku marvels at obi-wans improvements, and only overpowers him with the force, NOT his skill with the blade.

Edit: vader pwns kenobi prty quickly too in ANH, since kenobi got tired quickly, and knew he couldn't possibly win.

ROTJ Vader>>>>>ANH Vader in sabers.

While Dooku may be superior in sabers. I don't think it is nearly as large a degree as some people make it out to be.

Agreed. And in the force.....

Prove it flyboy. Your copious use of the greater than sign doesn't help your argument.

And before you quote the line in the ROTJ novel where Vader is musing he's at the height of his power.
1. That's a character statement.
2. Prove he was referring specifically to lightsaber combat.

Vader's greatest saber feat to my knowledge is in Purge. Since then I have seen nothing that gives me the notion that his saber technique has improved to give him a solid win over Dooku more times than not.

Clears, unless Revan can beat him.

DID I ever SAY ROTJ Vader>Dooku in sabers?????. No, I said Vader IMPROVED as of ROTJ then his ANH incarnation. I would say Dooku beats him in sabers, but no doubt ROTJ Vader>>>>>ANH Vader in sabers, and Dooku WOULD PWN ANH Vader in sabers.

Anakin clears this gauntlet.

When zoned, Anakin humiliated Dooku. Revan will not be a problem to him.

On Vader vs Dooku:
IMHO:
In sabers: Dooku > Vader
In the Force: Vader > Dooku
In either case, the difference isn’t enormous, but is there.

If not "zoned" Dooku and Revan will be difficult, and Skywalker could lose or win at either of them. Zoned he definitely clears it.

Re: anakin ROTS runs the gauntlet

Order is messed up.


1. Saesee Tiin - wins

2. Darth Maul TPM - wins

3. Luke Skywalker (ESB) - wins

4. Count Dooku - depends on mental state

5. Prime Revan - depends on mental state

6. Prime Kyle Katarn - wins, IMO

7. Luke Skywalker (RotJ) - wins

4 and 5 are the hardest by far. If Anakin can go "in teh zone", he clears this. Otherwise, he stops at 4 or 5.
