Dave Filoni on Ahsoka Tano vs Darth Vader / The Emperor

For my Joker:

We used to have this problem in Clone Wars when we would try to put Yoda in a story and it would be like, “Yeah, if Yoda’s there, this isn’t really a problem is it?” That’s because Yoda’s going to go in there and kick everyone’s butt. We all felt that Ahsoka, the only person that could really match her in this time period, blow for blow, would be Vader or the Emperor.

Holy shit.

Knew it. Ahsoka > Maul. Confirmed.

Well no ***, who else is there other than Maul during the time period that could actually fight them? Who? Kanan and Ezra? Tch, fat chance. Though I like how Dave once again contradicts himself.

We all knew that tbh, but now it's confirmed that Ahsoka is a powerhouse.

God, I wish Quanchi was here.

EDIT - That 'blow for blow' against Palplatine, doe...

And on the topic of authorial opinions, I don't believe anybody is advocating a complete dismissal of them as evidence (though under no circumstances are they the final word on such debates, that's just ludicrous.) Merely pointing out that in terms of the rules of canon and continuity they are protected by the square root of jack shit, therefore their legitimacy can be brought into question, whenever and wherever, and the onus is on you to argue their reliability.

Do you really want to me waste five minutes of my time explaining to you why Filoni's opinion is reliable? 🙂

LMFAO. Even when Beni wins, he still fails.

It would be a waste, because he's an idiot.

Ahsoka can go blow to blow with Palpatine…

😂

Filoni never change.

Filoni has a hard on for Ahsoka, he's extremely bias. Vader already beat her down, Palpatine would ****ing slaughter her.

Dry those tears. 🙂

@Ares, it says Vader and Sidious can match Ahsoka blow for blow, not the reverse.

Sorry that your own goal causes you agony.

Perhaps I’m talking him too literally but “could really match her in this time period, blow for blow” implies some level of parity. I certainly wouldn’t say Yoda would match Grievous for example.

Tbh as I see it, all it means out of all the Force Users...which are who now? An old Maul, a fresh Jedi Knight(Kanan) and Padawan(Ezra). Is that Ahsoka has the much better chance compared to the others.

That's not really anything big, seeing as the competition isn't there to begin with.

If you mean my ultimate goal of elevating Ahsoka, the cancer of her naysayers makes for a pretty painful read, yeah.

@Ares, his wording implies parity, but that's obviously not the case seeing as Vader lost to Ahsoka, and Filoni has stated (the obvious) that she would lose a confrontation with Sidious.

What's he's trying to say is that they had to hold back from using her too much, because against anyone bar Vader and the Emperor she would kick butt or otherwise defeat. Whether he intended to include Maul in that statement is the real question here.

Quaaaanchi. 🙂

Hmm. And I wonder why I don't watch stupid clone war cartoons..
