Commander Karbin (Vader down) runs a lightsaber gauntlet

The script and canon accolades say Vader is a fantastic duelist as of ANH.

I'm not sure why getting old would be any issue for Ben, when you have old guys still being able to put up fights anyway.

Because he was wanking on Tatooine for 20 years?

I love how people were up in arms when Disney said the EU is dead, and now every be like "Legends? **** that shit."

So? He clearly still knows how to defend himself and fight.

At any rate, I don't see an aged Ben being able to defend against 4 lightsabers like he did his younger self.

Nah I still much prefer Legends.

Obviously. But Legends source clearly states he is shit. There is no Canon source that contradict it afaik. I don't see how the whole intention of Lucas that they aren't as good as they used to be is suddenly irrelevant.

I'm curious how Vader was so able to hold him off. If you look at some scans, Vader held him off with a one hand grip

Pretty cool imo. IMO Kenobi could hold him off mainly due to his style, but I think he'd get overwhelmed eventually

Because the script for ANH calls Vader's strikes"masterful" and as fast as lightning.

There is a difference between Master and Master though.

Padawan Aayla is a master of Ataru, and Yoda is a master of Ataru too.

Isn't Plo a bit high? Unless I'm missing something he's done in his Canon incarnation.

Stops at Kit or Ben, by the way.

Wtf? Who said this is canon only? We are in the EU forum ffs.

Yeah specially since the warm-up is an EU character.

lol I skimmed through the thread and saw Carthage talking about Canon Plo and since he's the thread creator, I took that to mean that he intended for it to be Canon Plo.
