Cal throughout fallen order never truly surpassed her in skill and power with Cal admitting that he only managed to defeat her for good once he had knowledge of her past that he weaponized against her. This is the same Cal who managed to 2V1 Taron Malicos and atleast hold his own 1V1 for half of the fight before needing assistance.

Trilla also claimed to have perfected everything Cere taught her and displayed mastery over force speed while in combat. She’s also said to only be a little bit weaker than 5th brother

In lair of Grievous, Dooku does suggest that Grievous had yet to best a Jedi master. Even against Eeth Koth he had his Magna guards do most of the heavy lifting, with them even having to save his life.

This information comes fromStar Wars Fact File v3 030 (De Agostini) (2014)

In this exact game, we’re literally shown Vader tearing from massive pieces of metal like they were paper, so why the hell did him and Starkiller think they could contain this guy? Even Sam Witwer admitted that in force unleashed 3 it would’ve been revealed that sparing Vader was the worst mistake Starkiller ever made and that he had no real power over Vader because Vader was just putting on a show the entire time.

There’s more to being a Revan claw than being academically gifted. A strong mind also requires the mental fortitude to remain rational and resourceful even while under immense pressure. Twilight for all her intelligence still suffers from anxiety when thrusted into we she perceives as a dire situation, which can lead her to acting irrationally and reckless.

She also undeniably has the heart of a Griffindor as shown through her acts of bravery throughout the series

Maul claims that the Sidious who trained him would’ve been stronger than the Vader that was kicking their asses.

It is possible to enter hyperspace from orbit but it’s considered incredibly dangerous. If you attempt do it you won’t be able to have any sense of direction on where you end up, meaning you risk coming out into a literal star.

Regarding Quinlan Vos being “unpredictable” while fighting Dooku. Is that moreso meant to refer the Quinlan Vos’ affinity towards the darkside than most?

Being more aggressive and chaotic than most Jedi because a darksider doesn’t fight by principle and is willing to break the rules. Dooku himself even admitted that the darkside came to Vos more naturally than it did even for Ventress. Ventress even believes only Quinlan’s rage can allow him to take down the count

It reminds me of what Sam Witwer about Maul telling Devan and Daki to fully cut loose against Vader and become unpredictable if they’re to defeat Vader

“Hey dude, these folks can know who trained you based on how you’re fighting. So, you got to change it up. Right. It’s not going to work. Your Jedi playbook is well read by these folks. They know what you’re doing. So, your only chance to survive is if you listen to what I’m saying.”

“You gotta go nuts. Yeah. Lose all those principles. Absolutely tap into your rage. Give it all up so you become unpredictable”

So in a way Vos beating Dooku doesn’t diminish Anakin’s final victory over the Count, but rather serves as foreshadowing as to why Dooku would eventually be killed by Anakin. When the fight starts, Dooku is aware of how Anakin and Kenobi fight which allows him to a one up on both of them, knocking and unbalancing Anakin and kicking him to the side.

“Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker faced Count Dooku again, this time aboard a Separatist ragship. Familiar with Obi-Wan's fighting style, the Dark Lord once again got the better of him.”- Star Wars lightsaber; guide to weapons of the force (2018)

However once Anakin fully cuts loose and does away with his Jedi restraint he becomes far too chaotic for Dooku to handle and is overwhelmed.

This honestly seems to be a running theme with Darksider where normally they appear far superior because they know how a Jedi fight and lines they aren’t willing to cross. The best example is Qimir effectively killing 5 skilled Jedi with little difficulty. Yet as the fight progressed Jecki and Sol were willing to stoop more and more down to Qimir’s level and do away with their restraint and the rules of combat. By the end Sol ends up beating Qimir when fully cutting loose.

Or Eldra Kaitis fight with Maul where she was able to match him by giving in to her passion and beginning to fight more like a Sith according to Maul. Because of that, she ended up doing better than Qui Gon. The same for Padawan Obi Wan. Star Wars.com states that Maul was genuinely surprised by Kenobi’s aggression which caused Obi Wan to cut Maul’s Saber staff in two.

The guy also 1 of 30 who survived the Petranaki Arena when 170 other Jedi died there

The featurettes even have the cast talking about how this is supposed to show Maul’s connection to the force Isn’t what it was, where the all mighty Darth Maul is reduced to struggling to simply call his lightsaber to him. It isn’t until later that we start to see him showing signs of his power increasing and even then, what TK showings does he have prior to season 7 that could even suggest he’s stronger than his younger self?
