Scourge vs. AOTC Obi Wan Kenobi

You have superiority complex, my friend. Not cool.

I do feel superior to you, yes, and apparently the feeling is mutual. But your ability to partially concede your argument is pretty admirable tbh, at least compared to the likes of Neph and Ant. That's not saying much, but it's a legit plus. 👆

I still don't find Anoon Bondara's revelation more impressive at all. Anoon (himself) disagreed with the opinion of his peers about his skills and the revelation explicitly pointed out that he was inferior to Qui Gon Jinn. The revelation is actually calling a spade a spade.

So it turns out that Anoon isn't the best, but as I had said, his accolade is still more impressive in spite of this. Say a bunch of boxing experts really hype this guy and think he's potentially the best in the world, and yet he ends up losing to someone else with a similar reputation. Yes, it's true that he wasn't the best (well, he might have gotten unlucky - but ignore that). But the mere fact that he was considered a candidate by reputable sources is an incredibly impressive decoration. That he happens to be the fifth or sixth instead of the first doesn't change that. It would only change things if we conclude that the experts in question were outright delusional and he was a charlatan, but that's highly unlikely here - Anoon would have sparred with other Jedi, it's not like he was bluffing his way through things.

Meanwhile, this random boxer who intimidates his instructors probably isn't as good as the world champion candidate.

Every Jedi Master (and his mom) was held in high regard during PT era. Anoon's hype is similar to that of Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin and Sora Bulq. Nothing special.

😂 So because Anoon isn't special compared to Fisto, Kolar, Tinn and Bulq, he must not be special compared to Scourge? Where did you draw that link?

By that logic, Adam D'Angelo must not be a more prolific software engineer than I am. After all, he had placed in international coding competitions, but lots of people have. I, meanwhile, sometimes solved problems faster than my high school CS teacher. Therefore I must be better. 👆

Anoon's example was provided to argue Qui-Gon Jinn's superiority over Lord Scourge in the aspect of dueling. It doesn't, and I am not conceding this.

^ who is that person who is no match for a sith again?

Captain Yarri is stated to be no match for a 'Trained Sith Lord" in Lord Scourge.

I don't recall it being Scourge, just a trained Sith in general:

Revan novel Though there were others in the yard, none was a worthy sparring partner. He would gain little from testing himself against any of Murtog’s soldiers. Even the guard captain himself wouldn’t present any real challenge to a fully trained Sith Lord.

I thought you were referring to the Emperor's guard, my bad.
