How Powerful Is Ahsoka Now?

Heh. I was surprised nobody brought up the dark side nexus until now. Though, if that’s from the Force and Destiny rulebook, I’m still not convinced that that source is canon.

Less reasonable to assume the way in which DS nexuses has changed.

As for the duel, we don’t know if the entire sequence was real time or if that Kanan/Ezra scene was happening concurrently with the second half of their duel.

Just to be clear, I’m not saying what Ahsoka did was unimpressive. In fact, it was very impressive. Rather she seems to be at a significant disadvantage in the second portion of the duel.

Where are people getting the idea that she is even with Maul? Frankly, I thought the implication was that she is better than Maul. Hell, Maul didn't even entertain the notion of facing Vader alone, but Ahsoka did without hesitation.

Bravery and combat effectiveness are not equatable...

@Syn, so have you accepted Lady Tano's superiority to Ventress yet? 🙂

Nah. Bariss did well, but we must account for the fact that she spent half the time running, was defeated in half the time it took for Vader just to wear Tano down, and that Anakin was probably holding back considering the circumstances, and certainly not fighting to kill.

Watched the fight scene. She certainly did better then I thought based off comments and I would put her force defenses above Ventress. Other then that she seems to generally be on the same level which is pretty great for her.

I'd say she's around Ventress/Maul/Obi-Wan level yeah.

There's no doubt she's above ventress
But where above ventress is the question

Given Ventress's performances in lightsaber combat and her own offensive force capabilities I don't really see Ahsoka being too much above/below her tbh. Her force defenses are better though admittedly which would put her above Ventress as an overall combatant.

I don't see why her force defenses are better than Ventress'. Vader has a long history of not Force-stomping people he probably should. Him not doing it doesn't matter. Heck, Vader couldn't even take the holocron from Ezra, kek. The man jobs, ok.

I doubt Ventress would fare as well as Ahsoka did against Vader tbh.

It's more to do with Ventress's own weakness in that regard.

From a dueling standpoint? I'd disagree.

Obi-Wan's probs even worse than Ventress in force defenses and Vader didn't shit on him.

Imo that's because Vader wanted to show he had finally surpassed Kenobi and he wanted to beat him in a straight out duel. Vader's semihonorable. That or Old Ben's force power increased and thus his force defenses did as well.

Vader rarely shits on anyone though. Does peeps like the Dark Woman have +Ventress defenses too.

We should really stop bringing the EU into canon discussions.

Tbh though, I am kinda wondering how they are gonna write Vader and Obi-Wan's duel into the canon.

Well since Joker asked all that time ago and I responded with Ventress meaning with all her legends feats. I don't know how I view canon only Ventress.

Or maybe Lucas just screwed up with that fight and knows in reality it should've gone Vader's way more easily.
