I remember watching TCW and it really felt like Anakin was the only Jedi Knight we ever encountered. Everyone else seemed to be at the rank of master or sometimes padawan. The only other knight that we were introduced, that I can remember, was Nadar — Kit Fisto's former padawan who was killed by Grevious.

I wonder if this was an intentional by Filioni to show that Anakin was amongst various masters and was equally, if not more, skilled as any of them yet he didn't have the rank of the master — which would perhaps further justify or explain his rage at not being granted the rank of master during ROTS beyond the reasons he gave

One thing that annoys me in SWs forums is circle jerking characters.

Maul wanted Ahsoka to join him because he thought they could beat Sidious together.

How exactly is unclear but the implication is that they were powerful enough together.

What does everyone online think?

LOL no. Sidious roflstomp. 0 chance. Etc.

This is short-sighted.

Maul and Ahsoka, if they actually locked in and fought together, and ideally with the advantage of an ambush DO have enough power to beat Sidious.

They're both high tier fighters. Great duelists who can overwhelm Sidious, and their main issue is his force power is much stronger.

Do I think they'd actually win? Probably not.

Not just because Sidious is so strong but because he always has the psychological advantage (like we saw in his "training" of Vader in the comics).

Maul and Ahsoka would have to lock in like crazy but honestly I don't see them maintaining that composure for long against the sith lord, and I see him prevailing.

What I don't get is wtf is the fanbase on.

We've seen Sidious go parallel with Yoda and "lose" (depends on your opinion) against Windu.

You're telling me Maul and Ahsoka have no chance against Yoda or Windu? Ofc they do, and in fact I'd say they're favored.

Sidious is written as a character who is always in control, as he is the big bad and the tempter, almost devil like figure.

When he isn't in control he's instead running away from a threat in Yoda or getting killed by surprise by Vader.

It seems his image of always being in control works even better on the fanbase 🧐

I think more people than less thinks he threw against Windu on purpose AFTER Lucas said this isnt the case.

Just think about how crazy that is lol. The creator says NO, but the fanbase is so awed by Sidious' dominance and menace that they say YES.

That's why I'm here to set the record straight.

Sidious should never be put down as low diffing or even mid diffing Maul/Ahsoka if they lock in.

We actually saw him have to stop dueling Maul because once Maul got pissed at Oppress dying, he locked in, so Sidious switched to force powers where he has a big edge.

(Granted I still think he wins a duel but now a bit risky)

Anyway. I still give it to Sidious because I dont think Maul or Ahsoka has the mental strength required to overcome him, (Sidious was such a presence he had Vader like a dog until he betrayed him for love of Luke) and Sidious' force powers are still superior.

High difficulty. With a well planned ambush, maybe extreme difficulty. If Sidious ambushes them, mid difficulty.

Please tell me this reddit is not stuck in perma intimidation of Sidious too, just like the characters.

PS.

btw. about Sidious vs. Maul and Oppress. i think this is brought up in the worst ways by people.

He pulls up like a demon against them and Maul is clearly scared of his old master. And Oppress is merely a strong rookie.

Sidious is in control the whole fight but not so much because he's 100 times a better duelist than both but because he's got Maul terrified and Oppress outmatched.

This is a logical conclusion to make because solo angry Maul gives him way more trouble than the brothers together but not locked in.

If anything the correct powerscaling takeaway is Maul in an ideal mental state is enough of a threat with light sabers that Sidious would rather take him down with the force to be safe.

To really underscore this, we then see Maul beg for his life pathetically (after he was trying to avenge his brother!). which really shows you how rentfree Maul's head is for the emperor.

Were they blackmailed or something? Like we will kill all slaves if you try anything funny?

Anakin had no problem doing so , meanwhile Kenobi had been getting hell.

And wtf is Jedi order doing , do they not care about their best resources going MIA? The queen's plan to enslave Jedi seems delusional af

I think seeing the clone wars before rots adds a lot more impact to order 66.

Hi guys. I started the Star Wars series for the first time in order of release. I saw all 6 movies, finishing with Revenge of the Sith. Now in the official guides it says I have to continue with The Clone Wars movie and series, but I don't have that much time. Do I really need to see the movie? What episodes would you recommend I watch before continuing with the next movies/series? Thanks!

I think the only character they've focussed on even close to those 4 or people with those last names is Maul and that's only because Sam Witwer is extremely dedicated to the character. I'm sure Maul: Shadow Lord is going to have 4 seasons. Each with a 3-5 year time jump, with the series finale finally showing how he wound up on Malachor. And then eventually there will probably be another Maul series leading up from him being raised by the Nightsisters to being taken by Palpatine and being trained. Which is going to be funny having Witwer just talking to himself a lot if that series does ever happen.

Edit: obviously nobody understood where I was coming from with this post. So let me correct myself. When it comes to Force Wielder's and Dualists... Those are the only people they care about when they scale them up to someone like Darth Vader or the Inquisitors. I'm not talking about the minor side quest characters like Han Solo, the Mandalorian guy, Bounty Hunters, Smugglers, etc.
