Star Wars Discussion / Re: destruction of the Sith
« on: July 02, 2008, 02:16:39 AM »
I agree.  As long as there is light, there will always be dark.  But then again, the Sith were only one faction of Dark Force Users, albeit the most powerful and/or well known.  There were also the Witches of Danthomir amongst others... So yes, I believe there could be an end to the Sith, but some other Dark Side Faction would by necessity fill the void.

star forge, its the only superweapon that could have potentially been used for good.
Wrong. It fed off dark side energies. The sun crusher (my pick) and the two Death Stars could have been used for good anyways. Mining and destroying dangerous planets and star systems before they kill anyone.

How could destroying a planet be for the good of the people.  I could see using DS II to prevent a fate similar to Serindipal, but destroying a planet?

Only negative I have to the Executor was the fact that it was disabled( and ultimately destroyed) by said stone to the giant.  For the thousands of weapon placements, its ultimate demise came at the hands of a snub fighter, which sounds very similar to another super weapon...

I would have to say the Executor-Class would be my favorite, even though it was taken out by an Awing if I am not mistaken.

I have to go with the stealth x.  Since they were piloted exclusively by Jedi, they were deadly and a handful could change the course of  a huge battle.

The Jedi of the Old Republic(and the New Order) focused more on their Force powers and knowledge. Darth Maul focused almost entirely on his saber fighting. Yes, the Jedi were unaccustomed to the dual blades, but they were some of the best technicians the Jedi had.  He was defeated, but only Palpatine was able to stand his own(indeed defeat) more than one top Jedi swordsman at time.  Maul, therefore, should be considered one of the higher level saber artist in recorded history.

anarchist:

I apologize for apparently offending you with offering my lowly opinion of characters as i see them.  The reason was not to bash anyone else's opinion but to present reasons why some other popular Jedi( and former Jedi) were not my favorite as to give some actual points to open constructive discussion on not only which Jedi is someone's favorite, but why.  I guess i should have just opened a new thread huh?

Bindo was a very wise force user, but we never saw him as a jedi... but then again this is about favorites and he left the order for his thoughts.

While a Master of Form III( I will concede this point), it appeared to me that even though Obi-Wan was able to parry Anakin's attacks, he lost his ground with every strike.  Not only was Anakin pushing the battle as is a defining characteristic of Form V, but he was also controlling where the battle went.  Obi-wan was always back peddling and try to find a way to fight defensively.   A master of Form III should be able to hold his ground to a degree unless faced with a far superior practitioner of another form.
Yes, Obi Wan was pushed back by Anakin, but i thought the point of Form III was to allow your opponent to exert their energy while you wait for an opportunity?  I always assumed that Obi Wan was letting Anakin drive the fight to wear him down, and wait for that "opportune moment".

The big thing to me saying that Obi-wan was overmatched was the amount of force he was having to defend with.  Anakin was PUSHING him back.  I feel(and this is me personally) that had Obi-wan been the superior technician, Obi-wan would have slowly been stepping pack.  Obi-wan was doing everything he could to survive, let alone defeat Anakin.  By chance(or the force) the fight gave Obi-wan the ability to gain, the high ground and thus the advantage.

The only reason that Obi-Wan was able to fend off Anakin was that he had taught him and sparred with him for the past decade plus.  Someone of Obi-Wan's skills would not have stood a chance against Anakin had he not had the years of experience.  Even then, if you watch Episode III, Anakin drove the entire fight until Obi-Wan escaped to the high ground.

In regards to whether certain people were trying to prove either their favorite or best, is it not possible that the reason that the particular Jedi is their favorite is that the Jedi is the best or strongest in their eyes?

So Luke has pretty much been agreed upon a being the greatest of the New Republic and Yoda the greatest of the Old Order.  So who would win between the two? Or who was the most dominant of there era?  I still feel its Luke.  We know he has become a better saberist with age (unlike his father apparently) and he did defeat the reborn Emperor on his second attempt, something Yoda did not succeed in.  Is it not within reason then that Luke at the time of Legacy of the Force was at least marginally better than Yoda at the time of his last duel?

Was the issue with Vader's mobility the suit alone or was it restriction of special effects at the time of the movie?  Yes we see great acrobatics in the films, but they were almost exclusively in episodes 1-3.  Yes the suit may have hampered Vader, but I believe we would see completely different dual if Return of the Jedi had been made in the twenty first century.

True.  But in theory, I would feel Luke would be the superior saber practitioner.  He has only improved from Bespin and has become the greatest practitioner of his time.  Before his years experience though he did defeat one of the great saberist of the old republic, his father.

Wasn't Yoda regarded as the most powerful Jedi of the Old Republic but Mace Windu the most dangerous?

If only cause Yoda was to 1337 to actually fight anyone

But isn't the question who was the best duelist? Mace dominated saber battles( even defeating Palpatine).  Yoda was a great saber technician but was known best for his powerful force abilities.

Wasn't Yoda reguarded as the most powerful Jedi of the Old Republic but Mace Windu the most dangerous?

I believe it would have to be Luke, Mace Windu, Palpatine, Yoda, then Anakin.  Luke had a natural affinity for lightsaber dueling and is said to be the greatest of all time.  Windu was called the most dangerous jedi of his time, inventing form 7(VaaPaad?), Palpatine was defeated by Windu only to be saved by Anakin.  Yoda was better than Anakin( he felt Obi-Wan could challenge Anakin but not Palpatine). Anakin may have been able to challenge Yoda in time but not after the defeat at Mustafar.

I gotta go with Luke.  His lightsaber skills appear to be at least the equal of Palpatine's in NJO and LOTF.  And then there is the phantom fleet he conjoured in Jacen/Caedus mind(in Revelation if I am not mistaken).

Wouldn't the presence of leaders such as Thrawn and the Emperor turn the tide of the war?  The Imperial forces were much more efficient with the presence of a strong leader.  Perhaps Sith Battle Meditation on the part of the Emperor and Darth Vader?
