I think people, in general, need to get over what they think should be the status quo, and try and realize what is the case in reality. Like, in debates, people put far too much stock into things like a characters' rank or level authority within an organization, or their significance in the grand scheme of things in SW, and let that dictate who they want to win a fight rather than clear cut evidence.
Example? Satele Shan, Grandmaster of the Jedi Order, legendary Jedi Master and war veteran, versus... Savage Opress, dark side monster who died after like 2 months of not doing much.
Who wins? Well..... one may first assume that because Satele overall is just a much more significant character it would look silly for Savage to be beating her, and that would sway their decision. The preconceived notion that some stupid monster from the evil PT era cannot beat one of the main characters from SWTOR who also happens to be da grandmastur. But then when you compare their feats, it's pretty clear who is superior and who should win the fight based on real evidence.
It's the same reason people convince themselves that Darth Vader must be light years ahead of Darth Maul and Ventress as a duelist, or why people think Agen Kolar would struggle to get himself out of a paper bag. Because overall these characters are less significant, therefore they can't possibly be as good as *insert significant character here*
Fact is, you don't need to be important or whatever to have good feats. You just need to have good feats, which Savage does.
That wasn't really directed at you btw, Sinious, but just in general I feel like people jump the gun with characters and assume they're shit because they aren't as significant to whatever stories they feature in. It's why people still have a hard time believing Luke Skywalker could match Vader.
