Battle takes on katou

Who will be hunted?

Canon fight

I found both fight is really similar

-in first, they fought vader but overwhelmed by force(ahsoka was force pushed and karbin crushed by large stone statue, his one arm cut off)

-later, they damaged vader with single hit while vader is distracted by other thing(holocron and illusion)

-after damaging vader, they fight vader for long time but ultimately defeated

But difference is

-as vader got stronger in ANH

-ahsoka didnt take much damage from falling(she needed time but she seems perfectly fine when she returned), but karbin's damage was probably making his capability lower

-ahsoka was overwhelmed by vader and about to be killed by lightsaber combat , but vader needed aphra's ship to kill karbin

So, maybe hot take but karbin >= ahsoka

And, Grievous was mentioned as samely threatening as karbin in helmet collection 31. So, grievous upscaling

Cylo said that karbin is improved version of grievous but I dont think he is stronger overall

1. Karbin have jetpack

2. Karbin dont cough every 5 second(which was happened to grievous because of incompatibility between flesh and machine)

3. Karbin lack dooku's training and he not trained as long as grievous did.(he spent two years for traning and vader was first opponent)

4. Karbin lack experience of grievous(karbin is really arrogant because vader is his first opponent and he is proud of his cybernetic body, which leads to he crushed by statue and lose his one arm. Grievous is arrogant also but he fought with jedi numerous time and he dont underestimate power of force, that is why he running away always)

So, final outcome is

Karbin=Grievous>=rebels ahsoka

Do you agree?

Was her death inevitable or it was really close to kill vader?

Alright, lets see this. This is about star wars(2015) #26~30

Explanation following the image order!

-Yoda go to strange place where blue stones exist, which are living in force. It make it hard to use force on that. Same logic like it is hard to use force on force sensitive than non-force sensitive.

-you can see yoda fell down by rock, if it was normal rock, he could easily defend it.

-later, tribe of planet awake the living mountain, even its awakening itself caused earthquake to make whole village destroyed.

-important point. Yoda said village members to continue meditation, which is awakening more giants sleeping inside planet, not help him. As you can see in later image, villager didnt help yoda while he face giant. They kept meditation to awake giants.

-most important feats! Yoda holds back mountain alone, defend it, which made cliff destroyed and ground around yoda shattered due to pressure.(evidence that it was not telepathy) Yoda even make giant floated on air and fell down to ground. As narrator said, yoda obviously overwhelmed stone giant.

-as meditation completed, other giants appeared, factions and giants lived together peacefully.

So, in short, yoda was able to overwhelm force-sensitive(which make him more durable against force power)living mountain with force, who can cause earthquake and ground shattering by its awakening.

Respect name of yoda!

As I remember(correct me if wrong), before disney earned star wars, vader got weaker after duel on mustafar and never reached level of palpatine, at best he was 80% of his power. He was just shadow, or remains of his past.

In new disney canon, vader was nerfed right after mustafar but he was not limited by it, he trained and got stronger during the empire era.

Which one do you prefer? I presonally prefer legend lore about vader, it seems more tragic

I saw so many saying darth vader is stronger than prequel jedi and sith because vader got more stronger during empire era, but I wonder how much gap exists there, so I searched about examples of PT era characters or equal to that level fighting with vader

Here is my list

1. rusty eeth koth vs early suit vader

Eeth Koth used dark side here but I think he is similar to prequel self because he have not used lightsaber and force for long time and lived peaceful life. Eeth Koth hold vader for long time

2. OWK kenobi(before seeing illusion) vs OWK vader

OWK kenobi is same level on mustafar but probably bit lower(but not that big, vader said his power returned), he did well against vader but overwhelmed by force

3. commander karbin vs ANH vader

Commander karbin, who was stated to samely threatening as grievous(karbin have enhanced cybernetics but grievous is more skilled and has more experience), fight vader for long time and vader is only able to damage karbin with force and spaceship(it was from aphra)

Maybe I missed some examples more, but it seems vader is powerful but still PT characters are able to match him with lightsabder. What do you think?

Canon only

God of war: ghost of sparta was my first god of war game and thanatos really impressed me.

He really have sinister look. Pale skin, black hair, white eyes without any other color. All these design factors perfectly matches for primordial god of death existed before olympians.

In secrets of the sith, which is perspective of palpatine in episode 9, palpatine mention windu as 'strongest of jedi masters'. Considering there are other powerful masters(except anakin lmao) like yoda and luke skywalker(after ROTJ), it seems sidious really respect windu as duelist.

From marvel godzilla series

After that fucker betrayed me, suddenly some of my boys disappeared, what happened???
