I suppose there is not a clear cut answer to this. However, I'd like to see what opinions are out there. Obi-Wan and Anakin seemed to be an equal match, perhaps Anakin on flat ground might be better...but considering he lost his cool, perhaps that would happen in a different scenario as well. Dooku, a viable contender, but if Anakin could beat him, then he obviously doesn't rank at the top. Additionally, Palpatine, who diced several Jedi quickly could not dispatch Windu, even with force aiding him. Yoda, who held his own with Palpatine and Dooku did not demonstrate onscreen at least, the ability to land any blows. Whereas Windu was able to win his duel w/Palpatine. Then there are wild cards such as Darth Maul, Qui-Gon, and Luke Skywalker. Maul obviously was very talented, but did not prove he could overpower a youthful Obi-Wan with his saber alone. I wouldn't necessarily give Obi-Wan the advantage, but that brings up enough doubt for me to rank Maul out of contention. Qui-Gon-Jinn, obviously since he died, that kind of takes him down a notch as well. Luke, I would consider to be in the same boat as his father, with the exception that his lack of formal training would probably give him less rank. Sure he bested his father, but that victory came over a simply less capable saberist due to Vader's reliance of robotic limbs. Luke's "win" only came through rage more than say his control. Having said all of that, my vote is for Mace Windu. A solid, polished saberist, who should have been the one that ended the Sith. -Ian _______________ Member #7625 | Since 7.6.04 The Archives This post was edited by Ian Jandos on Jul 22 2005 10:13pm. |

T_T no more star wars geeks left. BANT BANNT BANNT!!!!!!!! WIndu's style has always been there, no not all Jedis who used it fell to the dark side. Windu's style of sabering however WAS different to the other Jedi who used this form because the other Jedi used Juyo which was an INCOMPLETED form of WIndu's style, Vaapad. All Windu did was complete the Form VII, Juyo/Vaapad. Juyo was a form that had bits added on since the first lightsaber came out, designed almost entirely offensive and to come at the opponent at every angle possible. Yoda used Form IV, Ataru, to compensate for his stature, Ataru uses aerials and movements thought to be impossible, also a very tiring style which is its draw back. Qui Gon Jinn also used this style and Maul tired him down quickly, and if you're wondering Maul used the incomplete Juyo Form. Now Sidious and Dooku both used Makashi, Form II, Form II was made during the begining of the Jedi Order b/c there were so many vibroblades more then the blaster. It is designed for close combat against other swordsmen, especially force users. Obi-wan used Shien, Form V, a form originally made to deflect blaster fire but can be used in a defensive form in saber combat. He waits for his enemy to make a mistake and then strikes. Anakin used the same I assume, I don't know too much about Anakin but Vader used aone-handed style of Makashi. Yes, the Chosen Prat did change forms during his transformationfrom stupid boy to bad boy. Who's next... I have no idea b/c thats all I can think of at any rate who could possibly rank as No.1 as Saberist. Personally my money's on Windu simply cause he's got the guts to use the national gay colour for his lightsaber  PH34R M41 933I(1N355!!!!1111oneone111!!11 _______________ Sanity is for the weak -Let the madness consume you...

well either or not Mace windue created teh style or not, I don't know and its not worth making a blood pact over ( well star wars shouldnt be period :p ) but I think we can all agree Yoda followed a specific style.. now to look up what it was.. im pretty sure one of the links on one of the topics on the forums somewhere in possibyl the editing section which this guy talks about how he wishes to recreate al the styles in the mod. _______________ "Darkness is simply the absence of Light" "Is it not easier to snuff out the light completely than to make no shadow or darknes at all and create pure light?"

actually windu did not create that style. it was always there but windu was the first to use it for efficiently for good purposes  (all others who tried fell to the dark side). i read that in some site i think _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

You can´t ask who is the best in history... Well how about Mace´s master or his masters master... Well... yoda has modified a nice style for his tiny size but Windu uses the 7th style of sabering which is claimed to be the strongest style ever... Now this question is hard to say.. I don´t know if Mace´s master knew the 7th style better than Windu... Windu is stronger(physically) and younger than the emperor and thats the reason he was able to beat the emperor in swordfighting ( THE 7th style) Use the strong stuff from the dark side of the force like anger and remain wise and clear minded... Be fast and strong and not even the sith can master this style very often... Actually as often as the jedis... Now you might ask : Then why don´t the sith just use the anger and stuff... The technique reguires them but knowing them doesn´t mean you handle the techniques _______________ =Y-Z= Yay Piccolo´s 777th post, [Yay Damien´s 250th post, [OMG LADY´s 800 POSTAH!!

Yea, I can see him poking his saber into Palpatine's knees, electrocuting him, then gripping him and crushing his intestines, and then finally decapitating the Emperor. That would be sweet. _______________ "To become a greater man, you must be a lesser one first." |

Windu actually was already tapping into the darkside. That's why he pwned so badly. He was just able to control his emotions. So even if he went fully dark, his power wouldn't increase as much as if a pure Jedi, like Obi, went dark. Basically... if any high level Jedi went to the darkside, they would automatically be the strongest. _______________ "To become a greater man, you must be a lesser one first." |

Honestly think. Use logic here. Lucas has EXPLICITLY stated that he will not make more movies. Look at the number of spelling errors on SS's site. And the nail in the coffin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supershadow _______________ "To become a greater man, you must be a lesser one first." |

lol... I wouldn't trust that site... It's made by Supershadow, who has already been exposed as a fraud. However, atm, it is the best we got, unless Lucas gets off his overweight butt and makes a backstory _______________ "To become a greater man, you must be a lesser one first." |

i think yoda is th ebest lady's man...i mean think about it...havent u realize that the grlz always liek the SMALL CUTE lookin dude...like th ehunchback of notredame. anywayz, this is a quote from jedipurge.com While the dark side of the Force created many great warriors, the light side of the Force did as well. 2,000 years before The Phantom Menace, the most formidable light saber fighter before Yoda lived, the amazing Yendar Platis. so right now i believe Yoda is #1... and to go even further When Yoda was 177, the Jedi Holocron kept by Shintor Beerus was rediscovered, prophesying the One who would bring Balance to the Force. Yoda was a more formidable Jedi than Evins Croslod and even Aenon Jurtis, the most formidable Jedi before his time. Many considered Yoda to be the fulfillment of the prophecy, but upon examining the Holocron, Yoda could not be the One, for the One would be born of a virgin mother. Yoda was trained by Bontu Sitmus, who in turn had been trained by Tracktius Mutheon. _______________ I don't wanna be the best, being the best doesn't mean I'm good...I wanna be perfect 'cause we always fall short, so if I aim for perfect I'll be good....

sorry treez didnt mean to coem off like the way you seem to say I came off. and as for spelling I only care for it if im doing an english paper. and i NEVER READ your post...I was simply stating that Dooku and Yoda Beat Mace Windu in a light saber duel, according to the expanded universe. and next time...spell my name right cuz that gets disrespectful.and if you wanna vent...take it out with a lightsaber by challlenging soemoen on JKA. and the orginal trilogy's sword figthing was better because it was based on slow pace fencing. the sword master used in the prequels..he went for all out looks. if any of you wanan see REALISTIC sword figthing movie rent these movies HIGHLANDER:END GAME (when the highlander from movies and highlander from series vs eachother to 2nd to last sword fight...it is very realistic fight BUT it still LOOKS good because they add VERY few highflying/flashy stuff and didnt Over do it like SW:prequels did.) (other sword figths werent that real.) MUSKETEER (yes SOME of the fights were realistic, and most of the stuff Ive seen done on Ninjitsu black belt tests...) Count of Montecristo (check spelling of that one.) (one of the MOST realistic fights I have ever seen..NO flashy stuff wat so ever..EVER FIGHT is REALISTIC) THE HUNTED (yes I know it knife fighting but w/e..this was TOO REALISTIC to an extent it got boring..the art was filipino based..it is called KALI..) the above are my OPINIONS... _______________ I don't wanna be the best, being the best doesn't mean I'm good...I wanna be perfect 'cause we always fall short, so if I aim for perfect I'll be good....
