Anakin Skywalker vs Cin Drallig - Examination and Discussion

Started by DarthAnt664 pages

The hundreds of other Jedi in the temple?

But there was no other Jedi in that room beside Cin and his padawans

Wolf is right tbh, if you pay attention to the hologram Anakin's blade is actually furthest, in-front of Drallig's, having just being deflected by a block - the clash of their blades being audible. The hologram just makes it look like it's going through him. The fact that you can still hear their lightsabers clashing afterwards despite their being no Jedi immediately present reinforcing this. So it's likely the Legends interpretation is wrong here. Regardless assuming Cin died in that exchange it appeared to last no more than 8 seconds.

However though Drallig may have been the finest swordsman present, there is no evidence to suggest he rivals Ti or the B-Team in Force power. He's never been considered in their league before, so I don't know why we're starting now. Instead given that this isn't Vader's Canon prime, he's clearly outclassed in that regard, and incapable of competing with Anakin's Force strength & speed, hence the blitz.

More compelling evidence being that despite having just witnessed this, Yoda has no qualms in dispatching Kenobi to kill Vader. Despite telling him that he is not "strong enough" to face Darth Sidious. Whereas by the logic of the OP, Yoda would be knowingly sending Kenobi to his death - arguably better off against the Emperor. It just doesn't hold water. And as for those who have forgotten:

Pack it up Anakin brigade, this party's over. 🙂

You should stick to bitching with AP, Beni.

AP is a member of this brigade, why do you think I'm here. 🙂

AP isn't a member of the Brigade just because she's a wanker. Now, I suggest you leave before things get ugly, fam.

I'd say it's the best time for Beni to be here when things get ugly.

A higher chance of his death. 👆

Why have you replaced her?

But nah I'm looking forward to whatever weak response the opposition can muster. 🙂

Pablo Hidalgo be a fat *ss woodchuck.

That's not very nice. 🙂

So when are things getting ugly? My popcorn's going stale.

Who even cares? Anakin is Yoda level. Vader is Sidious level. This was already known. 👆

Fair. 👆

Fresh just wanks Anakin because he wants to wank Vader. Despicable.

I grew up with RotS the video game, you asswipe. I wank Anakin because of that hair.

That game was pretty good, better than any other movie games I've played or seen and just about all of em were terrible or just meh. Quite an achievement there.

I really wish that game was on Steam. I used to have it on PS2...

Nerd 🙂

I'm still playing that game on my old ps2, i keep playing the level where Anakin kills all the jedi in the temple. That one is the funniest imo
