    That appears to be Ahsoka unfortunately given Filoni’s obsession with her

    I’ve listened to some of these Medieval Star Wars themes, they’re a beautiful thing

    I’m surprised the creator of the question put in pointless characters like Dr. Aphra and that Imperial Squad Leader from the new Battlefront when they forgot Yoda and Palpatine, two of the most prominent characters in the franchise.

    Also again they missed out Jango yet included Boba, even though Jango does so much more in the films.

    Anyway, all the non-Force sensitive characters are out straightaway because they have no defence against Force powers, even skilled duellists like Grievous and personal favourites like the Rogue One characters.

    Kanan and rat-face Ezra are just kids with lightsabers, they’re nothing compared to the major film characters, or, I would argue, even against the minor Jedi characters because most of them are still older and wiser than they are. Definite passes.

    Aayla Secura doesn’t have anything special going for her other than being a PT sex symbol, and given that I need protection against 47 Star Wars characters that isn’t going to be high on my list of priorities right now. She’s out.

    Grievous beat Ventress in a duel, and given Grievous’ out already, Ventress should be thrown out on her ear too.

    Savage Oppress was killed in just a few seconds by Darth Sidious despite fighting him two against one with Maul, so he’s out.

    Kit Fisto did defeat Grievous, but he’s not as accomplished a duellist as Obi-Wan who managed to kill him outright, so he’s out.

    Pong Krell may have been good at killing Clone Troopers, but any Jedi can kill Clone Troopers. I don’t see any particularly fantastic Force powers or skills from him, so he’s out.

    Kylo’s a good pilot but not much else, I’m pretty sure characters like Maul and Dooku could beat him in a duel despite his higher Force strength.

    Even if Ahsoka was the best duellist out there, I still wouldn’t pick her because she’d just get on my nerves too much, same with Rey despite her god-tier Powers.

    Even though Vader is the Chosen One and the strongest with the Force of anyone on the board, his internment in his cyborg suit has cost him a lot of his manoeuvrability, compared to Anakin just before his fall. If Anakin before his fall had been up there, I would have picked him as one of my three, but in his Vader suit he would be just too slow.

    So that leaves... Obi-Wan, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Qui-Gon and Mace.

    Qui-Gon was killed by Maul, so he’s out.

    As cool as Maul is, Obi-Wan defeated him multiple times, so he’s out too.

    That leaves Obi-Wan, Dooku and Mace. Mace uses Vaapad which is the most agressive Jedi form, Obi-Wan uses Soresu which is the most defensive and Dooku uses Makashi which is a solid form both offensively and defensively for duelling, so together the three will be an extremely strong combination. I’d say they’re also sound strategists and given they they were all trained Jedi Knights they shouldn’t have too much trouble working with one another (Mace and Obi-Wan might keep one eye on Dooku as his transition to the Separatists would be deemed questionable behaviour, but given there’s no Sidious to manipulate Dooku what can possibly go wrong?).

    Blimey, @NIGHTBRINGER and I have agreed on something again, is Ragnarok about to begin?

    Essentially yes. Rey cannot lose. Though I suppose it's possible that I could die and Rey would avenge my death.

    She has a special bond with Kylo that makes her even stronger so I would pick him as the number. Mace is supposedly the only Jedi that Palpatine really feared besides Qui Gon (and Palpatine feared Qui Gon for his ideas, not his raw might). so I'd give Mace the third spot. Also, Mace understands the Dark Side better than any other Jedi and could probably keep Kylo in line. He's a good tactician and planner. I think with his forethought they could divide and conquer and let Rey beat everyone WITHOUT leaving me exposed.


    Thanks to the Critical Drinker, I have a deeper appreciation for the prequel trilogy than I did before.



    That said, they are still subjectively worse than the original trilogy in my opinion.

    The story in the prequels was just as well constructed as the OT but the acting in the OT was moderately better and the cinematography was considerably better in the OT.

    In my opinion the only place where the prequels can claim to be superior to the OT is better light saber choreography though I still think they overdid it.

    Still the better Jungle Book film in my opinion. The new one was OK but you can’t beat the original in this case
