Nick Gillard tier list.

After reading as much as I can find regarding Gillards Lightsaber levels, this is pretty much what he has. I'll explain down below and if im missing anything feel free to add.

10: Anakin. (Knightfall (?))

9: Yoda, Palpatine, Mace, (w/ darkside/Vaapad) Anakin (w/Darkside)

8: Mace (base, bordering 9) Dooku, Anakin, (Light) Obi-Wan, Maul

7: Kit Fisto, AOTC Anakin (Dark side (?), AOTC Kenobi, Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar, TPM Obi-Wan (Rage)

6: TPM Obi-Wan (base)

5: AOTC Anakin (calm)

4 thru 2 are unknown

1: Younglings.

10 is my own compromise for Nicks 2nd levels list, which only go up to 8 and since Yoda and Mace are 8 in that list, an 8 is a 9 for the original. Nick said in the 2nd list Anakin is 8 or 9 and 9 "doesn't really exist" Since it's not clear when Anakin is at that level I assume during Knightfall, considering how he was confident beating Palps later.

AOTC Anakin is 4 levels below hia rots incarnation, that many levels allowed Anakin to.surpass Obi who was an 8 at the time so AOTC Anakins base I figured is a 5. However, Nick also said he is stronger than Obi, who was a 7 in this time frame. I assume he had an amp vs. Dooku.

Wish we got info for levels 4 thru 2, my head canon is 2 is generic Padawan, 3 generic knight, 4 generic master.

nick gillard doesn't know what he's talking about, just ignore him lol

What says Aotc Anakin is 5? Also Tinn and kolar might be 6s.

Great list though, the rest checks out.

Based on this

"Obi-Wan has gone up one level from Episode I to Episode III, but it’s a huge jump from one level to another. It’s not just about a style of fighting—it’s mental as well. Anakin has gone up probably four levels from Episode II to Episode III. So he’s gone beyond Obi-Wan, but he hasn’t gone beyond him mentally."

Since Anakin going up 4 levels surpassed Obi Wan whom is an 8, it's referring to Anakin being a 9. Going backwards gives us a ranking of 5. I assume this was "base" Anakin ofc not the one that fought Dooku. Also, what info leads Tiin and Kolar being 6s?

Why is this important for the Legends?
