Why 3?

Strike Teams are normally 4-5 members.

The Tython Strike Team after Bane and Zannah was 5.

The Revan Strike Team that first took him down was 4~ members plus some troopers.

The Palpatine Arrest squad was 4.

The Krayt strike team was initially 5 (they picked up Celeste Morne on the way, but began with Cade, Shado, Draco, Ganner, and Azlyn Rae).

I've seen three in a few threads recently, but I can't recall a single three-person team used when going after a strong target in canon. Sometimes a duo if the duo is strong master/apprentice, but then it tends to jump to at least 4.

Like, if Luke went rogue in his own time, I'd expect the team against him to include Jaina, Kyle, Sabatyne, and Kyp. Plus possibly a battle meditator like Cilghal (one could put in Leia, but that seems like a big risk to me).

4 or 5 is serious overkill. We're choosing from the best duelists in history here. 3 top class duelists is enough to be fair.

Meetra? mmm

Damn, owned.

Dooku, Mace, Exar Kun. Maybe?

Nah. Vapaad doesn't work on Luke, Dooku will tire, and Kun's trickery won't save him.

Mace has a few statements about him being second to Yoda in combative ability in the PT order, and among the other Jedi, only Yoda or Dooku overcame him in a duel. Windu doesn't need a Vaapad amp from a dark side opponent to be a tremendously skilled duelist.

He does against a guy stronger then ROTS Sidious...and indeed, stronger then DE Sidious. The only reason Mace was able to do as well as he did in the last battle of his life was by Dark Side Channeling.

Well he's got Kun and Dooku here to help him, and also has them to draw off of as far as the whole Vaapad dark side loop goes.

This team should win a straight up lightsaber duel, yeah.

Eh, if we're talking 3, and sabers only, and picking from across eras, we're already getting into overkill levels.

I'm just saying we need some proper strike team threads, not this trio business.

Lol, that was so cute.

Anyway if it's no morals then I'd choose, Mace, Satele(two tk tanks are good) and Exar with amulets?

Sabers only.
