Maul doesn't qualify to rank as high as a Windu or a Dooku or a Yoda. He is skilled and maybe if he had time to develop himself he would rate so high, but Obi-Wan cut him short...

Good pun.

I think that the Jedi of the new jedi order were better duelists than those of the old republic. I don't think that any of the old republic jedi could have defeated supreme overlord shimrra or his slayers. i think that luke is the best because he managed to beat darth caedus and he would have killed him if he wasn't afraid that it would make ben turn to the dark side

Why do the skywalkers become so famous... they should all be eradicated. They start all the probleams and the story is mostly centered on them.

I believe that at least yoda, obi-wan and anakin could have been able to defeat shimrra and his slayers.

Anakin cold've, and possibly Yoda. I'm not sure about Obi-Wan though

I'm with the Emperor on this. Good ol' Yoda couldn't defeat him. If people say Yoda is the ultimate duelist, then so is Palpatine.

It wasn't much of a lightsaber fight really. They spent most of it throwing the Senate chamber at each other as i recall..

General ONeill · « **Reply #108 on:** June 11, 2009, 12:27:13 PM »

Yeah, but they were fighting for a while( short while. Granted ) before they got to the senate chamber. Besides, when was the last time two Force users fought each other and they solely used lightsaber combat? The goal is to win the duel.

Hey guys I haven't been logged on in a while on account of school and i'm a lazy poster but I wanted to share my opinion too.
My favorite dualist was pretty much a tie between windu, maul, and tyranus. Though I chose tyranus cause hes got style. Makashi in my opinion with soresu are the most efficient of the forms and in my personal opinion Anakin could never have killed tyranus in his prime. The guy was 80 years oldwhen Anakin bested him. If going to a retirement home and coldbloodedly killing old people makes you a great dualist then that is one screwed way of up thinking.
In regards to new jedi order dualist, they are not all that good. Again a young guy like luke killed and old dried up cybernetic fart (Vader).
What I think happened is that after the 2nd jedi purge occurred the level of dualists went down so that everyone was still equal in skill but overall were weaker than the old repubic era dualists because of the amount of competition weeded out weak dualists and bred strong masters of lightsabe combat.

Luke did fight a saber master of the old order, Palpatine, and defeated him. And, since we can all agree that Yoda was one of the best of the old order, and Palpatine did defeat Yoda, that means Luke was fighting not only one of the most skilled, if not the most skilled, duelists of the old order, but one with a fair amount of experience fighting in lightsaber duels against two other, very powerful duelists.

GrndAdmrlPellaeon · « **Reply #111 on:** June 15, 2009, 11:26:19 AM »

You have a point, but the New Jedi Order dualists were trained, for the most part, in major conflict eras. I mean the Old Republic ones never really fought other dualists in actual combat. Really the only saber-on-saber combat was in the the Clone Wars, and most of those guys trained themselves and were uncoordinated and by no means disciplined. I mean Greivous didn't even have the force and he defeated alot of Masters. Agreed, Luke did defeat the Cloned Emperor, who did say his power had increased.

General ONeill · « **Reply #112 on:** June 15, 2009, 12:55:20 PM »

Yeah. The Old Republic Jedi had never even seen a real Sith before. (I assume Yoda was the only one who had)
As for Greivous, he fought with four lightsabers and he was damn quick. These traits would've made him a tough opponent.

Just out of curiosity, why isn't the Apprentice( Starkiller or whatever his name is ) on the list?

I still maintain that the Yoda/Palpatine battle wasn't complete. Didn't Yoda have a vision partway through that changed his strategy? (ie, escape)

Besides, Mace Windu would probably have defeated Palpatine if it werent for Anakin's interruption, and Yoda was supposed to be even better.

Because the thread/poll was created over three years ago, ages before TFU was released.

Mace Windu ! Why did he die so foolish...

GrndAdmrlPellaeon · « **Reply #118 on:** July 03, 2009, 11:58:01 AM »

But Luke has the most fighting experience of them all.

General ONeill · « **Reply #119 on:** July 03, 2009, 12:29:47 PM »

Yoda was 900 years old when he died. He trained Jedi for 800 years. I don't think Luke has more fighting experience.
