No tiering for Star Wars characters?

Have you not seen the arguments over CW Maul? Well is not the word I'd use.

What's the problem with Maul again?

Aside from him being Quan's favourite 😉

A lot of people got mad because he didn't roflstomp Ahsoka in the last season of Clone Wars, even though it was that classic case of him not wanting to fight as much as she did, and that usual Sith arrogance at play.

Maul is overrated, simple as that.

"A lot of people" also got mad when Kenobi b!tched him in Rebels even easier than he did in the non-canon "Old Wounds" comic.

On that I don't disagree. People really don't understand how out of practice the guy is. Yeah, it's great going up against some Mandos with blasters, but trained Jedi who are actually good duelists too that are constantly honing their craft?

He's not on that level. Maybe he would be if he hadn't spent ten years in a pit, but still.

Ahsoka is also Filoni's pet character. What did you expect?

She did well against Vader, too...

And he wants her to be still alive by the time of TRoS...

Hey, I like Ahsoka, but I do believe there's an argument for her being inconsistent.

If anyone is underrated, it's Kenobi imo. Man has a list of defeated opponents any Jedi would be proud of.

She's very "likeable", yes... 😖hifty:

No wonder she left. All those demanding masters.

Especially Master Windu with his bbc "shatterpoint" technique haermm

That's crazy. I didn't know they were doing that now. I mean, Star Trek did something similar too with its novels and comics, so it's not a new concept to me, but still.

And I have to say that the Lucasfilm Storygroup has done a great job keeping everything cohesive at this point.

Tiering Star Wars characters would be a sh|tshow. You have Dooku destroying Kenobi and Anakin, then holding his own vs Yoda. Later you have him owning Kenobi again but losing to Anakin (who later went on to get his ass kicked by Kenobi).

There are canon explanations/reasons for that, but most 'normal'(ie. non-nerdy) SW fans wouldn't be aware of the underlying context. So yeah, shitshow indeed. 👆

In canon, 'light side' Anakin was about equal to Dooku. But during their fight in the movie, Anakin briefly tapped into his rage(with complete clarity), which enabled him to stomp Dooku.

Kenobi was able to do so well against Anakin at the end of the movie for a few reasons:
a.) He had fought alongside Anakin for years, and had gained an intimate familiarity with Anakin's lightsaber style -- he essentially knew exactly what to expect during their fight.
b.) Anakin was an emotional trainwreck, and that sort of spiritual conflict has a massive impact on a character's overall abilities(look what happened to Kylo after he killed Han.)
c.) Anakin was overconfident, which can also be a significant hindrance(look at pretty much every Maul fight ever, lol.)

d) Kenobi is that ****ing good.

Kenobi is criminally underrated by most. 👆

Then you need to consider their fighting styles.

Anyway, Star Wars characters are extras to this forum (same with Mortal Kombat), that's why no tiers were made.

Kenobi is the best
