Dave Filoni on Ahsoka Tano vs Darth Vader / The Emperor

Started by chingchangwalla36 pages

I really hope we see Ashoka come back in Season 3 and get absolutely curbed by Maul or Vader to stop this Ashoka > Windu, Maul, Vader

I didn't say she was > Windu...

I'm not talking about you mate. Beni and Joker will have her there...

:7

i want a flashback from Vader to Order 66 and a nice scene of vader grabbing shaak ti barehanded and choking life out of her like nothing

then i will accept everything else in rebels

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.

Canon Vader isn't more skilled than Kenobi, lmfao.

He's not only better than Kenobi, he's better than Sidious.

He likely is tbh given he stalemated Dooku in DD without a rage amp. While he did have a form advantage he's grown to the point he can beat Dooku by RotS with a form advantage. After that he grows even more in skill over the decades incorporating his demonstrated knowledge in other forms as Vader until reaching his prime in Rebels.

Tbh. 👆

Technical skill aside, he'd capably defeat Maul, a Kenobi-tier combatant. Though why Ant is bringing up Kenobi is beyond me. mmm

You know Syn has Windu barely above Ventress right? This isn't as great a victory as you're hoping.

Filoni just said in a TCW interview that Palpatine would kick everybody's ass, now Yoda would kick everybody's ass? We're finding more and more stuff to discredit author opinions, tbh. Filoni has a history of stupidity regardless. I'd imagine he'd prize his creation that utterly ruined EU continuity, lmfao.

Regardless, he says that only Vader and the Emperor have the capacity to match her blow for blow, but he's hardly saying that that's their limit.

On a side note, this thing where they keep bringing characters to visit Yoda in exile is hilariously stupid and also butchers continuity.

I don't think this is anything extraordinary. Especially since it doesn't consider Yoda or Obi-wan. It might imply superiority over Maul, though.

There's an actually canon source saying that Maul was stronger, although this was on Malachor, a potential DS nexus.

Is there any evidence at all that Malachor is potent nexus in Canon during the time of Rebels? Or that it even influenced anyone from the Jedi?

Well, isn't it a Sith graveyard world? The implication's there, but as I said, it's only a potential DS nexus, since no source (to my knowledge) actually names it as one.

Although the quote's probably referring to Maul's superiority over the others in general, though it's likely quite a small, even minimal gap in Ahsoka's case.

Sure the implication is there but we have no evidence that any of the characters were hindered or even affected by it.

Perhaps, do we know if they duelled for 30 seconds or 1min30 seconds? In any case we also see how she duels evenly with the Fifth Brother for a respectable amount of time so I guess now Ahsoka = Fifth Brother?

Filoni is > an implication on SW.com. 🙂
