I wouldn't underestimate Grand Master Satele Shan, she did really well during Hex crises.

Grand Master Satele Shan is also stated to be "unbelievably fast" by Force-user standards, this is another indication.

She should honestly be at least Revan level. Her force feats are better and her battle skill has been deferred to by the HoT on several occasions.

Not to mention the possibility of her having Shatterpoint and Battle Meditation.

I'd put her on Revan's level, but not necessarily above him.

^Yeah also apparently funding an additional 5 million Clone Troopers would bankrupt the entire Galactic Republic. Oh and 3 million battledroids are enough to turn the tide of the galactic scale confrontation.

Some writers have no sense of scale.

Iirc the essential guide tried to handwave it saying it was X million "units" (of unspecified size) of clone troopers.

Indeed, I think she's in her prime in the opening moments of the Cold War. During the Cold War she steadily declines. Which is silly considering she's only 57...but I guess she's another Kenobi.

The idea of Jedi being middle aged in our time are weak/atrophying(despite medical advances in sci-fi future time, and Force longevity) is just another way Writers Are Stupid.

In the case of Kenobi at least, Jensaarai1 came up with some very smart explanations. He suggested that Kenobi's physical weakness could be the result of

a) Old war injuries catching up with him

and

b) He had spent much of his time on Tattooine learning to become a Force Spirit and so was forced to neglect his physical training.

I would add that living in a harsh desert wasteland probably didn't help.

Aside from the OT, the only thing that interests me anymore in SW is fancy lightsaber battles. Everything else is ****ing retarded anymore.

You're entitled to your opinion. Personally I like the lightsabre duels too but there are also some characters I really like.

Same. It's the flanderization and inconsistencies which drive me nuts.

Yeah both of those can be a pain.

I am also pretty disappointed with the handling of Satele Shan's character. Finally a female Grand Master, give her the hype of the youngest in history...then give her jack shit to do except advise.

Finally a female Grand Master,

Nomi Sunrider was a female Grand Master before it was cool.

She was never called Grand Master though.

Oddly, during that time period they didn't really use the title.

She was head of the Jedi order, in any case.

Satele found Tython, and rebuilt the order after one of the longest galactic wars in history.

Satele is about as interesting as drying paint though. Nomi, at least, has style.

I'd bang Satele, not Nomi though. Her hairline is kinda worrisome.
