So I decided I wanted there to be a thread for unorthodox or generally looked down upon opinions. Please don't judge people. This is a safe space.

My Own.

Dooku is the most technically skilled duelist in Galactic History.
Galen is Yoda level in the Force.
Ventress is Mace/Anakin level as a duelist.
Grievous could beat Anakin/Mace in a straight out lightsaber duel.
Savage is not as technically skilled as ILS believes.

Do what must be done, King Joker. Do not hesitate, show no mercy. Only then will you be strong enough to save Ant from his ban.

He's definitely not.



Based on their respective showings against Sidious, he's definitely not.

Kenobi is not just Soresu or gtfo. And he doesn't get ragdolled by everyone decently powerful.

I guess that's giving the big guy too much credit? confused

JKBart
Scourge is only a notch above Darth Maul as a duelist.
Palpatine is above Revan.
Darth Caedus can hold his own against Darth Malgus.
Obi-Wan Kenobi defeats Kas'im.
Yoda can defeat Darth Zannah, Kas'im and Raskta Lsu at once.
Darth Bane can contend with Arcann.

No judgement. :P

OK lets see now.

The Ones (Son & Daughter specifically) are extremely powerful, but they don't godstomp everyone.

Darth Sion isn't fodder, and can actually handle a lightsaber.

Darth Jadus is a Vader+ tier Force user.

Darth Bane is more powerful than Dooku. smile

Vader's prime is not Star Wars Rebels.

& Ahsoka is a goddess (soon to be mainstream opinion smile )

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ

Elaborate. smile Well his mere presence caused suffering to those around him, he could mentally enslave others to his will and did so to the 1,000 passengers aboard his ship, he can render himself incorporeal within the blink of an eye, and use TK in this form, a mere expression of his anger caused his 600 meter dreadnought to shake, which he was capable of holding together in the aftermath of an explosion that seemingly obliterated it.

Some of these feats are feasible for Vader, but most of them are beyond him are far as I'm concerned, he's certainly never been seen accomplishing any of them.

For those reasons I say + Vader tier. But I'm not confident he has enough showings to put him above or on the same level as the likes of Revan or Krayt. Despite that though a lot of people put him below FE Malgus, and worse.Originally posted by |King Joker|

I guess that's dependent on how you classify fodder.

I think the point of this is misunderstood. I don't think Filoni was saying it's all downhill from Rebels, but rather that his edge dulled after learning of Luke's existence.

JKBart
I put FE Malgus above Jadus, but I have both of them alongside Yoda in Tier 8 (Tier 9 being Bane, Revan, Arcann, Luke and Palpatine, and tier 10 Valkorion).

FreshestSlice
Anyone who can solo Yoda and Sidious at the same time can godstomp just about anyone not named the Outlander.

It just said Anakin imbued with the "very essence of the Dark Side," i.e. the Son, not Anakin at his full potential.

Beniboybling
Oh yes, that leap in logic makes absolute sense. smile

Understand that Anakin is the Chosen One, he is an immense conduit for the Force that can be done wonders with if properly tapped into.

Even if the Son was empowering him (though personally I think he just helped him fully realise his powers as his presence is seldom mentioned) he'd still surpass anything the Son, or any of the Ones, are capable of alone.

But the Son isn't? Even though he's supposed to be the Dark Side itself? M'kay.

Beniboybling
erm

Did you miss the part where, simply by tapping into the Mortis nexus, Anakin stomped the Son and Daughter simultaneously? He's obviously far more potent a conduit, and far stronger a Force user when given a boost.

Regardless that's besides the point, 1 + 1 equals 2, funnily enough. The Son + the power of Anakin is going to be stronger than the Son alone.

@Skillz, yes, though he would lose 10/10.

That wasn't what I asked. Anakin may be a great conduit for controlling BOTH sides of the Force, but he's dealing with one here.

Which is not what's said. It's just Anakin channeling the Dark Side.

Originally posted by FreshestSlice

And I'd say being literally the Force incarnate > being the dark side incarnate metaphorically. No you said, and I quote it's 'Anakin imbued with the "very essence of the Dark Side," i.e. the Son' - if you want to change the goal posts and say it was Anakin alone, then fine. But in remains an assumption to conclude that the Son > DS Chosen One on little more than personal belief and in the face of Mortakin stomping both in and the Daughter at once.

The_Tempest
I think Fresh is meaning that full!potential Anakin > Son & Daughter =/> regular Anakin channeling The Son.

Now if it's full!potential Anakin + Son? Then yeah, I agree. But I'm not sure the text indicates either way.

Beniboybling
I would merely point out their is nothing regular about Anakin stomping Yoda and Sidious. Either way we are witnessing Anakin with his powers of the dark side fully realised.

Well sure but that might merely be the product of borrowed powers from The Son. I dunno, haven't read that infinities thing in ages.

meh. When looking at it from your point of view, him being comparable to Abeloth is understandable enough. The other Ones should still be out of his reach, though, unless you're in support of the idea that Abeloth is stronger than her children?



Very understandable. Even if he doesn't have Luke's raw power and balance, his unrestricted acceptance of the dark side could very well make him a more formidable foe.



I thought this was a fairly common stance. One I've always disagreed with, but common nonetheless.



Even though she was defeated by Senya?







This was the majority group not long ago, and is still fairly persistent.

Kyp Durron > Count Dooku

red8
Most of the battles on this forum where people say Character X stomps Character Y would not actually end in a stomp. The weaker character would probably be able to put up a fight and hold out for a while. The weaker character might even be able to win under certain circumstances.

FreshestSlice
That's not an unorthodox opinion. We say they stomp because the advantage is so obvious, no one sees the point in actually debating it. Unless it's Kanan, obviously.

Oh, true; depending on your interpretation of pre-Mustifar compared to post, Kyp having more raw power than Vader is agreeably a justified stance.

But the word "powerful" can be either specific or vague depending on how it's used. It's often used as a word for general superiority, so using it may cause confusion if you were only referring to raw power.

I agree with what you said about Dooku and Savage

Sidious could have killed Windu in their fight whenever he wanted with the force and with sabers for the first 30 seconds until Windu got Vaapad boost.

Dooku was holding back in the first half of his fight in RotS

Ahsoka is overrated

Bane is underrated

Sidious could have overpowered him with force powers whenever he wished.

TgKWindRenegade
darth vader has above average speed and atleast closing in on average agility
palpatine is a master duelist that didn't look into it enough to fix any of his faults relying solely on his force abilities to improve
mace windu only developed vapaad because of his constant connection to the darkside but study in the light giving him a large immunity to darkness
darth maul is dooku tier in force abilities
dooku is good at deflection and redirection
darth krayt can fight on even ground with palpatine until force lighting
the ones can be beaten by palpatine and luke
ahsoka isn't able to beat darth vader in a one on one no matter how fast she is
and midichlorians arent terrible, but they are highly flaud since yoda should have a higher count than sidious and one next to Anakin as well as Anakin should be able to break through anyones force walls with ease, and grievous is on par with windu while hes wielding vapaad(first cartoon not clone wars)

Darth Malgus would beat Dooku ob1 is able to defend himself from all 20-per second attacks from grievous and dookus mikashi onslaught so it wouldn't surprise me seeing as ob1 is essentially a young, less powerful, human yoda. maces vaapad wouldn't be enough. darth vader would beat him if yoda is aggressive but seeing as how he is I'd think not sorry, damn right he's underrated I mean 5 years of extreme consistent training by yoda would make you into a monster. dooku is weak against power opponents and malgus is certantly above Anakin in dueling abilities. overall great opinions.

Explain yodas old age hampers his ability albeit only because of his back problems, but vader would be able to counter because hes great with soresu, hes a practitioner of mikashi, and djem so, his strength would hurt yoda even if defending as well as vader constant painkillers giving him nearly unlimited stamina. soresu as in being able to block most of yodas attacks, mikashi to open him up for a ruthless assault of djem so and his unlimited stamina.

You sure, bro? He's also got some terrible asthma. but his cybernetics give him a large amount of strength and durability the only thing hampering him are his respirator problems now. yodas back problems are only subdued by use of physical augmentation where as vader now doesn't need to augment his strength or jumps, albeit his speed is a problem his familiarity with ataru compensates for physical shortcomings. asthma? nah jk I know that's a joke but his suit is a walking iron lung with some enhancements.

Prob not very unorthodox, but the idea that any "bounty hunter" or other non-Force sensitive could defeat a trained Force user in a fair fight, barring some especially exotic weaponry, is ridiculous and honestly strains my suspension of disbelief.

KotOR II is one of the best, if not the best, Star Wars games ever released.

Revan's a boring as **** Mary Sue that I couldn't give a shit about.

Vanilla SWTOR is better than every expansion they've released.

Episode 7 gets worse and worse, the more the nostalgia wears off and the more you actually think about it.

Star Wars is slowly dying, in terms of fresh and interesting storytelling.

Rebels is utter trash, Ahsoka should have died in the Clone Wars, executed and proven innocent after, but Filoni's hard-on for her and the attempt to drag her into rebels got in the way of emotive and good storytelling...

That's it really.

You know what I really like about Ahsoka? That she is really, really close to Anakin, yet she had nothing to do with his fall, nor his redemption.

10/10 useless character.

I personally would've preferred if:
a.) Ahsoka turned to the Dark side and became Dooku's new apprentice
b.) She and Lux betrothed each other
c.) Ahsoka killed herself
d.) Ahsoka went on a suicide-murder mission to kill the jedi council members

That actually wouldn't have been a bad idea, although I would think Anakin would be the one to kill her in the end, not her killing herself.

But it would perhaps foreshadow Anakin's apprenticeship to Sidious, given that she would be leaving her master for another, as Anakin did Obi-Wan.

Her views being of a similar mind to Anakin later on.

You know what I really like about Ahsoka? That she is really, really close to Anakin, yet she had nothing to do with his fall, nor his redemption.

10/10 useless character. Lol, people really don't understand this character.

It would be good story telling because it shows the faults of the Jedi and makes Anakin's obsession make more sense.

The whole arc was about the Jedi falling from grace. Good storytelling would be actually showing flaws in your protagonists instead of making their imperfections have no consequences. If the Jedi had been so insistent on pleasing the Senate that they got Ahsoka killed, Anakin's fall and lack of trust in the Jedi would make a lot more sense.

Yeah...

Can't tell if agreeing or nah.



Agreed, tbh, but also not mmm

Traya made her character interesting, even if she herself really wasn't.




You'd be surprised.



Nah, there was definitely some decent stuff coming out before the Disney takeover.

That not what the arc is about, that's the backdrop; rather it's the culmination of Ahsoka's hero's journey, of her story arc, where she realises the Jedi are shite and makes the decision to leave them. Having Ahsoka die before that revelation and resolution therefore would be to spoil her personal narrative quite completely.

This is what I mean when I say people don't get Ahsoka, and TCW itself for that matter. What people don't understand is that TCW is her story, she is the primary protagonist, not Anakin, not Kenobi, Ahsoka, their fates are sealed, their stories have already been told; this about what happens to a budding Jedi against the backdrop of a false war, a failing Jedi, a corrupt Senate and a cast of characters doomed to various extremities. So to kill her off in this manner would essentially be akin to having Luke die at Palpatine's hands to make Vader realise what a terrible person he'd become i.e. stupid (because first and foremost it isn't Vader's story, it's Luke's).

And for what? To "show the faults of the Jedi"? As if we haven't already seen them, and as if kicking Ahsoka out of the Order then having the hubris to invite her back in like it was all just a big trial didn't demonstrate that quite plainly.

And as for giving weight to Anakin's issues with the Jedi, lawls, as if the Council again kicking Ahsoka out of the Order was not sufficient. Indeed if Ahsoka had died as if he wouldn't have pissed off immediately, and/or gone dark side. That would have been too much, and would have made Anakin's growing anger and mistrust towards the Jedi rather bizarre and redundant.

thumb up Yeah, as emotionally powerful a moment as Ahsoka's death and Anakin flipping out would be, I feel like that would be a bit too heavy. Like if Ahsoka was legit killed, I almost feel like Anakin's reaction to that would disrupt his relationship with the order a little too much for the rest of the story to make sense. As less spectacular as it is for Anakin, I feel like the more subtle nature of him feeling completely helpless, not to the point of rage but by the fact that he's constrained by somebody else's completely justified rage, and is losing someone even though he managed to save them.

Aside from Anakin though, yeah, you are completely right about how it wouldn't do Ahsoka's character justice, with the emotionally powerful moment of her leaving the Jedi Order, and for both Ahsoka and Anakin, it allows for their reunion and another emotionally powerful scene, as well as for the best episode in Rebels and the best fight scene in Rebels.

I wouldn't agree with you about Ahsoka being the primary protagonist, or even there being a single primary protagonist in general, I feel like TCW revolved around a few main characters, of which Ahsoka and Anakin happen to be two. I do agree with the point you're making about Ahsoka having her own story, and being developed as more than a mere foil to Anakin however. I would think the several episodes where she appears with minimal involvement from Anakin should be proof enough of this, yet people seem to think she's only a foil for Anakin for some reason.

Yeah Ahsoka, a teenage padawan, calling them on their shit and up and leaving was pretty damn effective.

And as far as the faults of the Jedi go... we kinda see them more and more with all the retarded shit Yoda does in the series, and season six specifically.

Wow I came to the exact same conclusion in the beginning of my response to your comment despite not having read your whole comment first.

FreshestSlice
Beni's like the definition of a fanboy. And the fact that you don't like something doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. You don't see me bitching that Vader/Anakin dies at the end of RotJ, and it's not because I had my whole life to come to terms with it. It's because it works well for that scene.

Emperordmb
On an unrelated note, I totally called that they weren't going to actually execute Barriss.

It almost feels like some cliche bullshit where when things are uncertain and people think it might be the actually innocent good guy, they are ready to ****in kill, yet when its revealed they were wrong and incontrovertible evidence proves without a shadow of a doubt who actually did it, that's when they suddenly grow a moral backbone and decide that "killing is da wrong thing to do after all"

So when Dark Disciple revealed that the Jedi convinced the senate not to execute a definitively proven terrorist when they were perfectly fine being silent about an ambiguously innocent/guilty padawan, I wasn't surprised in the slightest.

Entirely agree on Ahsoka vs Vader as well, that was the perfect ending for the character, and an appropriate one too, because Rebels isn't her story, she's the mentor figure now, so she pulled a Kenobi.Well this isn't just my opinion, Dave, Ashley, the SW Insider etc. have all made similar points, but I get you, TCW isn't particularly centralised. However if you had to identify a primary protagonist, it would be Ahsoka tbh. She is the only one who significantly develops over the course of the plot, everyone else is fairly static, and many of them are just reinforcing trodden ground.

Which is why its important her story was given full culmination and closure.Especially when you consider where she started out from, she's come full circle as it were.And in Dark Disciple.yes

I don't care that Ahsoka didn't die, something you should think about while you look up what irony actually means; probably doesn't have anything about editing quotes in there for anybody but you. You on the other hand, go on the defensive when someone mentions it should have happened, which is hilarious to say the least.

Beniboybling
Lol, you clearly care enough to respond in favour of her dying, them accuse me of being a fanboy for believing otherwise.

And if I believe someone's opinion to be wrong I will tell them, and then tell them why. Suck it.

Because me being consistent in my ideas means I care? No, not really. You writing up a page long essay about how it's the worst thing since the Invasion of Poland? Completely different story. You are utterly a fanboy, in so many ways that it's borderline weird.

And they're always all really long winded variations of: "I like Ahsoka, so no."

Beniboybling
Gosh take your whining elsewhere, I really don't have the patience.

FreshestSlice
He says as he writes up a thesis about why he really doesn't have time for this.

Beniboybling
>Because your whining is relevant to the actual topic and came before my response. erm

FreshestSlice
Because I totally didn't respond to the topic at hand. Though I guess you are right. You being a long winded, Ahsoka idolizer is hardly an unorthodox opinion. http://r35.imgfast.net/users/3513/11/32/39/smiles/3024136639.gif


As to DMB, I don't think most people thought they were going to execute Barris. Kind of against the Jedi's MO. That doesn't really mean this being the one time where they did kill someone would be bad story telling. It would kind of show just how far the Jedi have fallen during the war.

That's not what I was saying. I was just saying it amused me how everyone was willing to kill Ahsoka when her guilt was ambiguous, yet when Barriss blatantly admits it was her, that's when everyone decides execution is wrong.
