@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.

Simply because she lost does not indicate there is no parity between the two (though I certainly don’t think there is).

You are right, and I agree. 🙂

Filoni stated the obvious in regards to Palpatine: he can match Ahsoka blow for blow. Well yeah, no shit.

It's obvious there wouldn't be parity between them if they dueled.

Ashoka performed admirably against Vader - for what mostly was a struggle match for both - on Malachor. The famed nexus arguments can be put forth that would have benefited him throughout the match and supposedly weakened Ashoka. Sidious vs Tano a is going to be one sided, but she might be able to replicate this, for example :

Now for the people - inevitably Sidious fans - balking at this Filioni quote, no one's putting a gun to your head here. You don't have to take authorial intent at face value. There's enough modern literacy criticism to fight that notion - Wimsatt and Beardsley's "The Intentional Fallacy" and Barthes' Death of the Author Essay. I suggest you read them.

I enjoy this new information

For once I agree.

Of course you do.

I don't think this was really articulated very well in Twilight of the Apprentice in her fights with the Inquisitors and Maul, tbh.

Finally. That shit about Maul being superior because it was logical for Ezra to go with him has been put to rest.

Lol. They're stupid and always mess with canon, that's why I don't watch them.

Typo or mental conditioning? 🙂

You're. Did your nerdrage kick in?

Nope, just a bit of character profiling. 🙂

Maul stay taking mad L's, tbh.

This is kinda gross tbh. The Ashoka book better have her doing some crazy training shit

I've accepted Ahsoka's place tbh. I have nothing but respect for canon Vader as a duelist and I'm forced to place her on par with Windu.

My Ashoka hate has shone through again. I want to kill Filoni.
