Oh yeah cool found it, impressive but she struggled to block it alone needed ezras help then eventually gave up and escaped etc : but still pretty good i guess.. Not sure if its powerful then sidiouses Force lightening though
Originally posted by juggernaut74Yeah, he wanted Ahsoka dead.
Was Vader trying to kill her though?
Filoni: "[Vader] wants to destroy Ahsoka because she represents his past. She represents knowledge of who he was and he wants to wipe that out. His son represents a potential future because his son wouldn't know who he was. So he could build a new galaxy together with his son. His apprentice is his past and he needs to destroy her."
Originally posted by relentless1It was Sith magic so potent that Palpatine used it to rip into TWBW without a proper gateway. Is it the same thing as Force Lightning? No. Is it still logically a very powerful ability that Ahsoka [albeit briefly] deflected with the Force? Yes. Does that mean she can also repel FL in a similar manner? Maybe, maybe not... Just throwing it out there as a possibility.
im tired of seeing that "feat", that was Sith magic that Ashoka barely held off not Sidious' lightning
Either way, Palpatine > Dooku, so Ahsoka's ability(or lack thereof) to repel Palpatine's FL is irrelevant here. At the very least, Dooku's lightning can still be deflected with her sabers.
And as I mentioned: Ahsoka preformed better against Vader than Dooku preformed against Anakin... And in canon, Rebels Vader > RotS Anakin.

Ahsoka wank is well deserved. She stalemated a Darth Vader that was trying to kill her.
She didn't stalemate him, Vader was about to kill her when Ezra saved her. Ultimate Star Wars confirms that she was "doomed" before that. Not to mention that Ahsoka having been trained by Vader is stated to be an advantage for her in rebels bts.
Originally posted by Lord StarkOk maybe stalemate isnt the right word. But as Galan pointed out she did alot better against Vader than Dooku did against Anakin. Though Dooku was holding back against Anakin per Palpatines orders.

1. I don't really agree with that assessment.
2. We only know Vader>Anakin we don't know to what degree
3. Again Dooku bodies Kenobi in both their encounters even with Anakin there, whereas Ahsoka gets held back by Maul.
Originally posted by Lord StarkAhsoka's fight with Maul in Rebels was literally 20 seconds long, and ended with her allowing a blinded Kanan to finish the job. Hardly enough to draw any conclusions, imo.
Dooku's performance against Kenobi is far better than Ahsoka's against Maul's and in canon Kenobi>Maul.
But as mentioned, we have a common denominator between Dooku and Ahsoka in the form of Anakin: Ahsoka contended pretty well against Vader(who is > RotS Anakin), whereas Dooku was decisively stomped by RotS Anakin in under a minute.
Originally posted by Lord StarkHow much of an advantage could it have possibly given her, though?
Not to mention that Ahsoka having been trained by Vader is stated to be an advantage for her in rebels bts.
After RotS, Vader created a new lightsaber style for himself in order to overcome the bulk of his armor -- so it's not like she would have known what to expect there. On top of that, Vader was also fighting differently in general, and fully embracing emotions that he never would have as a Jedi.
So again, not sure how Ahsoka's Jedi training under Anakin would have realistically helped her much at all against Vader..? He was a completely different animal than Anakin.
