Shaak Ti vs. Aryn Leneer

Regardless if Galen was already a near perfect lightsaber combatant it makes sense that the vast majority of his improvement would occur in regards to Force ability rather then technical skill.

Beni who do you think wins this fight 🙂

Anyway Joker, probably Ti by a hair.

Dooku and Vader are probably on the same level as duelists, tbh.

I was under the impression Vader wasn't necessarily more skilled than Dooku to begin with. Yeah this probably makes sense though

I think Vader's better, when he's not jobbing. He certainly doesn't have any more than a marginal edge on big D, though.

Lol Marek was not nearly in his prime by Felucia, and being taught by Vader does not make him remotely Vader-tier in skill, not when Vader was holding back, every time.

Can you read? In his prime as a dark sider, I.E. before Vader guts him and he turns light side.

Beni believes Galen used the Darkside up to the Death Star mission. I believe that's where the misunderstanding originates from.

He uses it as a crutch when Kota isn't around, but his mindset has clearly changed since the betrayal.

Shaak.

If Galen was still using lightning wouldn't he still be using the darkside?

Starkiller uses lightning but I don't believe he's drawing on the Darkside. Galen upon completely embracing the Lightside still uses lightning to incapacitate Vader and force lock Sidious.

Kyle Katarn uses lightning, and he's a lightsider.

Vader > Malgus, Vader put Galen through hours of daily sparring sessions until he had nearly perfected his dueling abilities. That is all before the beginning of the novel, where Galen gets more skilled and powerful throughout until his prime as a dark sider on Felucia. Unless we're suggesting Malgus is Vader tier in skill, then we should probably stop with that line of thought.

He lost his sparring matches with Vader due to exhaustion, and as pointed or he wasn't close to Vader at this point in time. He wasn't in his prime as of Felucia or else he would've demolished Shaak who was quite evidently struggling with him. Not sure why your bringing Vader into the equation at all when Shaak has hardly any quantifiable duels prior to Galen, other then losing to Grievous, fleeing like a coward from clones and Anakin, and beating up Magnaguards who weren't programmed for combat against a saberstaff. Aryn or Malgus would kill Galen at that point in time, and if Shaak is nearly struggling with someone who hasn't reached his prime she isn't beating someone who can Fight evenly/land blows on the Sith Empire's premiere duelist.

She gets worked

Your logic is circular as ever, my dear.

"Shaak Ti's shit because Galen was far from prime. Galen was obviously far from his prime because he couldn't beat Shaak Ti."

Right 🤣

Please show me any reason why Aryn would have difficulty beating Rahm or Kazdan in combat. Your whole argument hinges on Galen being close to Vader which Beni showed as not being the case. Troll harder

The more apt example would be Plo Koon, he has a whole passage in "Jedi vs Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force" about how Lightning can be used as a Jedi with no problem, the order merely fears it due to historic applications.

Not reverse timeline scaling Felucia Galen off of a dueling feat he hasn't remotely come close to yet isn't circular logic, it's common sense.

So you can pretend like you didn't see the post again, because you have never in your life engaged in an actual debate?

Nah, how about you make the first move. You'd be a far more entertaining execution than DMB, anyhow. 🙂

So it's common sense to suggest Galen went from sub Kas'im level to Vader level in under a year while not facing a single opponent who actually strained him.

Sure, common sense 👆

Side Note: Lmao, you're still doing it. "hasn't come close to accomplishing" is completely defined on where you place Kota and Ti, and you're placing them low because you think Galen is bad. Your circular logic is literally endless.
