@Sel, I misread the source on knocking her blades away, so I won't bother pressing that point.A better example would probably be Palpatine's employment of Force lightning against Mace, which you've entirely misconstrued. Sidious was feigning weakness, and never intended to overpower Windu, yet despite that the power of his lightning is described by Mace as "beyond Vaapad" (in its highest form). Ahsoka is neither as powerful as Windu nor does she possess his mastery over Vaapad, not even remotely, and Sidious has no reason to hold back.
Given that he should have been able to overload her lightsaber without much difficulty, and therefore without much mitigation to the strength of his lightning.
Regardless you missed my edit, your argument doesn't really account for Ares' reading.
Beni I'm not sure you can fit Legends into Canon, two entirely separate things here and just makes everything weird.

Is this really what the Ashoka brigade are resting their fantasies on..?In which case Mace survived, and Palaptine's lightning has about as much effectiveness as taser gun.

Well your guess is as good as mine then. So I shall expect that humble pie will taste all the more bitter when the novel is released, and what you've come to expect hasn't materialized.
Originally posted by ZiggystardustIrrelevant lol, these scenes being used to inform Canon as events they consider to "have happened" legitimises them as reliable material whether ultimately referenced or not.

Not that Maul's fight with Ahsoka hasn't been already.

Trying to decipher the meaning behind this is giving me aids.
I am not arguing with you, I merely asked a question. Are the scans presented in this thread Canon? I'm not going to bank on stuff that may or may not appear in the Ashoka novel that has not come out yet.
Much like Dooku stomping Boba's Bounty Hunter crew in the original storyline... oh no wait, that didn't happen instead he got ambushed and captured...
It's a concept, much like Maul choking Sidious, or Han Solo being a green fish guy or Yoda being > Sidious. It was made, but ultimately not rendered into canon and is thus not to be taken seriously.
What? We don't see what happened in the end, but yeah I assume he fought them and lost.
Read the OP, Dave says 95% of the time these "concepts" reach the final episodes, and if he didn't intend them to be taken seriously, he wouldn't have given them to Johnston as source material to be taken... seriously. 😬

So he goes from murking them, to getting murked by them? Totally the same thing.

95% of stuff, and we know Ahsoka tanking lightning from someone Dave builds up as "untouchable" and all powerful is definitely in that 95%? I'm willing to bet it's in the 5%, tbh. Though I guess we'll wait for the novel.

Though I guess we'll wait for the novel.Is that direct quote or something you made up? Anyway, your assumptions on what Dave thinks aside again, if he didn't intend it to be taken seriously 1. I doubt we'd ever have seen it 2. he certainly wouldn't have shared it with Johnston as material to inform Canon, that just doesn't make sense.
But yeah if the novel says otherwise you'll have a point. 👆
