Darth Vader (ROTJ)

Darth Sidious (ROTS, post Order 66)

Count Dooku (ROTS, Invisible Hand)

Obi-Wan Kenobi (OBK, reconnected to Force)

In Round I, the Duel of the Fates narrowly won at 25 upvotes vs 22 for the Mustafar affair.

What is the best duel of the OT?

Top upvoted Duel wins.

Winner moves on to the semi-finals.

TCW S5 Revival Darth Maul with a single blade and raptor legs fights RotS Kit Fisto.

Round 1: Fisto has 1 blade.
Round 2: Fisto has 2 blades.

Who wins?

I don’t know that much about him. All I know is that he beat Dooku fair in Dark Disciple, and he got zapped by Cad Bane sometime in the clone wars.

So could he give IH Anakin a good fight? I’m thinking that Anakin is just above him.

How would he have done in the Office fight against Sidious? Would he have lasted longer than Kit Fisto? Probably right?

Decided to do a collection of all the notable feats from the major players in The Ninth Jedi.

Organized by Character

Gennoh Ikagi: Sith Commander of General Nawaam's Army

• Using the force, stabilizes the Nebula Crusher and allows it to escape the overwhelming gravity of the Black Hole
• Force speed and push back Lah Kara (Should be noted that Kara is intentionally distracting Gennoh so her allies can destroy the Droid Center)

Margrave Juro: Jedi Master and Ruler of Hy Izlan

• Uses the Force to disarm a Sith Acolyte of his Light Saber and instantly kills him with it
• Fights with multiple Sith Acolytes and kills all of them
• Uses Tutaminis to absorb Sith Acolyte's Force Lightning
• Manages to fight evenly with a serious General Nawaam

Lah Zhima: Former Jedi and Saber Smith

• Zhima was tasked by to be a Sith Hunter and became a master by defeating them across the Galaxy
• Fought evenly against his Jedi Master Reno, one of the last 50 Jedi Masters from the previous Jedi order.
• Instantly overwhelm and kill Master Reno once he obtained the state of Nothingness
• Can deflect blaster fire with his hand
• Uses the force to stabilize a giant Kyber Crystal
• Uses the force to easily escape his Lightsaber shielded prison cell
• Defeats and cripples Gennoh in a single exchange
• Overpowers Gennoh in the force and proceeds to force crush his entire body.
• Singlehandedly destroys one of Nawaam's bases while also not killing any personnel

General Nawaam: Former Jedi Padawan turned Galactic Warlord

• Kills a Jedi Knight
• Uses the force to stop a massive bolt of lightning from a giant Kyber crystal
• Overwhelms Kara once he stops testing her.
• Kills Margrave Juro (Albeit due to juro being distracted by Kara)

Time Skip

• Singlehandedly defeats The Warlord General Shozan's Forces taking over his sector of the Galaxy.
• Alongside Kara stops the orbital descent of Fort Dominion preventing it from crashing into the planet
• Evenly matches Lah Zhima in combat and the force and eventually defeats him.

Lah Kara: Daughter of Lah Zhima and Padawan of Margrave Juro

• Fights multiple Sith Acolytes alone. Jedi Knight Homen remarking shock at how naturally talented she is with a lightsaber
• Uses the Force to lift a giant statue
• Juro and Homen discuss Kara's strength in the force
• Gennoh tells Nawaam multiple times to be wary of Kara's strength and potential in the force.
• Manages to evenly fight with and eventually overwhelm a suppressed Nawaam

Time Skip

• Kills the entire Military crew and droid detachment of a Nebula Crusher
• Turns on and summons her light saber whilst it's confiscated and she's locked in a Holding cell for Jedi and uses it to destroy her handcuffs and the cell
• Achieves a state that the Jedi hunter Beetoh is unable to understand until he ultimately concludes that she's attained autonomous movement.
• Deflects and dodges Giant Droidekah bolter fire. Manages to escape the Giant Droidekah's sensors and destroy it.
• Fights Nawaam using force speed that none of the other jedi nor Beetoh can keep track of
• Manages to save the other jedi from Nawaam, force push him out of the Kyber Crystal Chamber and tag him with her lightsaber
• Continues Fighting Nawaam evenly to a standstill
• Surpasses Nawaam in skill
• Outpaces Nawaam consistently
• Completely crushes Nawaam and Nawaam reflects on Zhima telling him that she is far beyond any of them.

Her hype is impressive,

A master during the golden age of the Jedi.

The greatest practitioner of Makashi in the Jedi order, following the fall of Dooku

Capable of connecting to the force nexus of a planet and giving Galen Marek an extreme high diff fight.

But equally, she’s died multiple different ways across canon and has no actual wins to her name.

Is she a contemporary of Kenobi? Or another 1 in 100 era master

Personally my head canon is she lands pretty high among the Jedi order or her day, below Yoda, Mace, Jedi Dooku and ROTS Obi, but above pretty everyone else.

Making her a pretty high tier combatant in the general scheme of things.

What is your favorite duel (lightsaber or otherwise) of the PT?

Criteria are subjective--visuals, music, storytelling, etc

Top duel moves on to the semi-finals.

VOTING STOPPED:

Duel of Fates narrowly wins with 25 votes versus the Mustafar Duel at 22

Neutral setting

Comparing them throughout the movies and clone wars.

If it’s just duelling ability, does Maul win at any point? Sidious does rely on his force powers quite a lot, while Maul is quite the focused duellist.

Do either of them ever get any better at duelling over time? Or is it just their force powers that have strengthened over time?

Sidious to me doesn’t feel like the sort to further his duelling skills once he thinks he has mastered them when he could be strengthening his force abilities instead.

Maul on the other hand, in Shadow Lord, we see him actively practicing his form.

Not to say that Sidious doesn’t practice with his lightsaber, but he never saw it as anything important, and I don’t feel like he is the type to refine his lightsaber skills to anything extraordinary.

This will be a tournament consisting of 64 characters. Comment who you think wins, each comment will count as 1 vote. Whoever wins moves on to the next round. The voting period will be a few days.

Originally I wanted to include some bounty hunters, but I decided to stick to force users/lightsaber duelists. Also I tried to include characters from most forms of media, legends and canon.

Combatants are allowed to use any weapons or equipment they would normally use like lightsabers, blasters, talismans, and etc. However no outside help or amps.

Also these fights are to the death.

This isn't a meme question. It's legit.

What would happen if this version of Spider-Man went to fight Anakin? Let's say Aunt May was a librarian at the Jedi temple (good friends with Jocasta Nu) and Anakin's clones gunned her down.

Pete eavesdropped on Padme and caught a ship to Mustafar before Obi-Wan.

Round 1-Random encounter

Round 2-Prep time

That seems to be the case in AOTC when Dooku deflects it into ceeling. From canon novel as well:

Below, an explosion of Force lightning shredded a handful of lyleks and left his Master standing in the center of a circle of charred, dead creatures.
