Versus Series: Vodo-Siosk Baas Vs. Darth Plagueis

Finally, a new video.
I was delayed by copyright infringement bullshit, but now that has been dealt with.
It is a novel match-up featuring obscure characters, so I was attracted to it.

[@mandalorethemaximum1408]

The pictures you use of Plagueis fighting Venamus makes Plagueis look like he's toying with him.

[@DarthWill3]

Well, I've learned in recent research that Savage has greater control of the Force than Maul. He learned how to disarm Plo Koon by snatching away the Kel Dor's breath mask. Plus, he impaled Adi with his cranial horns while hitting her with the force of a runaway train. He's a fast learner.

[@matthewmann8969]

He was only able to do that to Plo bebecause Koon was distracted on even ground Plo beats both Savage And Maul not together but one on one for each yeah.

[@darthplagueis13]

I think you are right. Plagueis' force abilitys wood turn Baas into cooked lobster...

[@tommyg506]

can i just say how extremely happy that i have found my people the moment i found these in depth looks into some of my favorite force wielders i knew i was home thank you :)

[@samuelswahn5702]

Darth Plagueis vs Darth Nihilus.(The sith that created Life vs the sith that stole it)

[@beindawn-3175]

Plagueis if he has drain resistence

[@gabrielwills273]

Feel like nihilis has the edge ...

[@gabrielwills273]

@Emperor Vowrawn yeah brooooo

[@beindawn-3175]

Emperor Vowrawn in no way.

[@justsomeguywhokeepsgetting4885]

@Wes Bradley-Taubner Exactly, Plagueis is way better and has more skills to rely on. Nilihus is overrated af imo

[@mistaMISTAfyna1]

I highly suggest that you link up with ScrewAttack (Wiz and Boomstick) in order to give your audience a visual experience. I've watched your versus series and your detail and description of each characters abilities powers strengths and weaknesses have given solid evidence of how the battle would play out. I think it would be much more fulfilling and entertaining to watch the two combatants face off in a death battle instead of simply declaring a winner based on opinion.

[@dazdavis7896]

Plaguies was much like Vodo, in the sense of an “exotic weapons master” .... He used a lot of alternate weapons himself, and his fists n feet better than most. Yea, he was a good lightsaber combatant, but he far more so favored to use the right weapon for the right time. Like you said, he was a jack of all trades, and as best a one I can think of in all of Star Wars honestly. I would say he’s just as much of an alternative weaponry master that Vodo was.

[@Legionzzzz1]

revan also drew upon positive emotions like happiness and love to fuel the force and make him stronger which i am guessing luke also did because like revan luke was married revans combat experience is also hard to beat seeing how he single handily won 2 wars and stopped a third one revans ability with a saber is also hard to beat if i was to compare the two i would say combat experince is very close with revan getting a slight edge dueling ability also very close with revan getting the edge

[@aj16cook]

I've only ever had a casual interest in the expanded universe but your videos are like food to my imagination, a Darth Talon script would be interesting for obvious reasons and I love the obscure characters you pull out like Baas, don't stop!

[@diggerthecornflake]

Love how detailed all of these versus series are! Awesome my friend! It would be really cool to see some other people in the Star Wars lore that are not force users go at it. For example "Carth Onasi vs. Atton Rand" or "Cad Bane vs. Jagged Fel". Something like that would be really interesting!

[@ariesostia126]

I think Han Solo would enter-the-chat too!

[@STR33TSofJUST1C3]

He can only do that with his Meditation Sphere, which greatly enhances his Force Affinity. Also, he was still only able to do it on the largest Red Supergiant. And we all know that, the larger the star, the more unstable the core, the easier for it to go supernova.

[@albertsamerica2020]

Another great video. Best versus series on youtube - and i'm not saying that because i like Star Wars. Very detailed, entertaining, well thought out, and informative. Not to mention, always good match-ups. I'd still like to see Mace Windu vs Anakin Skywalker from Ep. 3 or a video with Satele Shan. But either way, I don't really care. The vids never fail to entertain.

[@MrTeddybear2277]

You failed to mention that Vodo-Siosk Baas is also a lightsaber instructor and therefore instructs other Jedi in lightsaber combat which means he has knowledge of all known lightsaber forms

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

not necesarily, just because he teaches lightsaber combat doesnt necessarily make him have knowledge of all the forms and knowledge of all the forms doesnt necessarily make him able to counter said forms.

[@MrTeddybear2277]

A lightsaber instructor does know something about all forms but would have a personal preferance

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

Kristof Francois nah it just heavily implies they have knowledge of all forms but its not a requirement unlike battlemaster.

[@killermooseflie]

the fan art, it BURNS!

[@Legionzzzz1]

Revan also became proficient in the use of defensive techniques in order to counter both physical attacks and the Force powers of his opponents. Revan was capable of absorbing and redirecting energy, as he did when he absorbed Darth Nyriss's storm of Force lightning with his bare hands and channeled it through his own body before redirecting it against her and burning her to ash

[@DarkDeathMarine]

Also, think on the bright side, Sideous found you powerful enough to not trust you, and being the conniving man he is, he murdered you at a time where you could not fight back, something he rarely does, preferring to attack outright for his personal amusement.

[@GMCiaramella]

I love the detail that you go to in these videos, you are a master of the non-existent,,, :)

[@cobracommander3634]

An underrated youtuber!

[@dutchislax14]

OG Star Wars KZbinr I watched these videos so much as a teenager

[@SolarTwinLunarKing]

I like your videos; I love how thorough your analysis is.

[@ultranoize482]

Darth Maul vs Mara Jade Skywalker. This battle will be interesting.

[@thomasg.5818]

Hey Jensaarai, love your videos and keep up the good work. But I wonder, I always wanted to see a versus series video between Darth Krayt and Darth Revan, because despite how different they are, they are also very similar. They were both Jedi at one time, they both use force powers from both the dark and light sides of the force. They both also were resurrected and became stronger than ever because of it. Revan was revived by Bastilla on his warship, while Darth Krayt used Dark Transfer.

[@andrewpatterson4976]

I was always under the impression that Darth Plagueis was more of a tragic character, that he embraced the dark side of the force in order to protect himself and those he cared about based on Palpatine's description, mirroring what Anakin would eventually do later in the movie. The question I have is that does Plagueis have a good side that hasn't been explored in the expanded universe, or did Palpatine lie to Anakin in order to seduce him to the dark side?

[@andrewpatterson4976]

Thanks, that cleared up a lot! Your videos are great, man!

[@WoodstockProd]

+Jensaarai1 that would explain why he found the idea of him being able to stave off the death of his loved ones but not himself a little funny

[@Eltrio2]

+Andrew Patterson What Palpatine told Anakin was true, from a certain point of view.

[@zachdelozier2133]

+Eltrio2 Ugh-damn Jedi. Hate that saying.

[@Eltrio2]

Zach Delozier I couldn't help myself. 😝

[@ArodWingfoot]

He's in 1 bloody game! How did that warrant a total lore section!?

[@williamsullivan7818]

I believe that baas used the force against qel droma and his martial arts against kun because he knew how kun fought and his approach to combat so he was confident in his ability to defeat kun. But he did no have an idea of how ulic would fight. Or he knew that ulics more unorthodox fighting style was too much for him so he relied on his force powers.

[@SexyRedFoxeh]

The saberstaff is not a simple weapon to use at all. Reason not many jedi use it is because it's as much dangerous to the opponent as it is to the wielder.

[@LordTheft]

FINALLY! I've been waiting for a new video for ages.

[@Persoon56]

Melee Defense is a maneuver where the combatant holds back a melee attack's ability to hit in order to be able to more easily block or evade the opponent's next strike. That's my way of explaining the gameplay description, which is as such: When you use a standard action to make a melee attack, you can take a penalty of up to -5 on your attack roll and add the same number (up to +5) as a dodge bonus to your Reflex Defense. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The changes to attack rolls and Reflex Defense last until the start of your next turn. Not sure if you know this currently, but I thought I'd give you it.

[@Macconator2010]

While I'd love to see the sith emperor in consideration I don't think there is enough information on his combat style. From the current material he is definitely more of a scholar/sorcerer type sith.

[@spritecollcterFTW]

Sever Force actually has a dark side variant.Darth Vitiate (swtor) used it to strip his much more experienced father and other Sith Lords of both their Force abilities and sanity.

[@Historian474]

I enjoy your videos. Bane vs. Vader would be nice. Also, it would be cool to see Grievous in a match.

[@shareeftables9593]

Hey could you do Revan vs. anyone? I really just want to hear your analysis of the character from a combat perspective

[@cup1966wow]

You missed a huge part in the Venamis fight, he stopped attacking and went on the defense, this made Venamis get frustrated and attack harder, he got tired and Plagueis saw his chance and went on the attack, so Plagueis did not win by simply smashing through his guard.

[@NoLiveking87]

Bastila vs Mara Jade :D

[@JabezFuutonSpecialis]

Unfortunately we don't have any real information on Bastilla after her Padawan years. Which means we don't know what she was capable outside of her days as an apprentice. Remember that she was never even promoted to knighthood in KOTOR

[@LoreChaplain]

Given the era in which Mara Jade was in her prime and her various fights with her contemporaries (people like Grand Master Luke Skywalker and Darth Caedus), I'm pretty sure Bastilla loses that fight. Might not be an absolute curbstomp but Bastilla loses.

[@SolarTwinLunarKing]

Dark Knight music with Star Wars visuals?!? INcredible.

[@Imperius1772]

Finally Plagueis managed to win one.

[@redbrick7773]

you should make a video of Darth Tenuous history I would love to learn about who his master was and is history

[@47tttitttustttitttus]

God i would LOVE to see kreia/darth traya on this show she is absolutely one of my most fav star wars characters

[@Legionzzzz1]

Revan was a master at telekinesis, utilizing the Force to manipulate the environment and his opponents by pushing or gripping objects of beings with the Force. His skill with telekinesis was such that he could hurl a heavy stone object at a moment's notice, and on Dromund Kaas the Jedi Master destroyed a large stone archway from a great distance with just the power of the Force Revan was proficient at using the Force to directly heal his wounds without seeking medical attention

[@Belgarion9989]

Jango Fett Vs. Mandalore the Ultimate.

[@rex7on]

Fett stomps.

[@williamsullivan7818]

That is actually tough.

[@williamsullivan7818]

Mandalore has the physical advantage. Buth jango has the equipment advantage. Better armor and did well against obi wan who was better than most jedi in that time. mandalore who did as well against a jedi knight level revan who was on pare with kenobi at the time. Jango had as better armor, weapons and tricks up his sleeve. I would say fett would win being able to match mandalore in both melee and at range but will be able to out last due to his amor and weapons do much more damage. So I believe fett will win.

[@mysteriousstranger9182]

Ultimates amor is made out of mando iron so mandalore would take it

[@frankheninja1]

@@mysteriousstranger9182 so is Jango’s, what the fuck are you on?

[@Matt-cz6ti]

Apparently so did Sidious. He waited until Plagueis was completely unable to defend himself before attacking him

[@dutch1641]

I'm not sure about this but I thought that darth plagueis was capable of mind reading and future sight in combat situation and he was capable of faking his death making illusions and ive heard of short distance teleportation

[@DarthWill3]

Actually, he DID. In "Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Sith Hunters." Read the comic. It's really good!

[@Butterwinkle]

Still would love to see a Galen Marak video. Problem is, wouldn't know who to pit against.

[@mandalorethemaximum1408]

If Plagueis is skilled only in Niman, how is Palpatine a master of all seven.

[@CrazyKeven3000]

Another Great Video mate - sorry to hear about your copyright issues.

[@MrEffectfilms]

Do you think you could do a vs video with Darth Bane? Hes my favorite Sith, and one of the few well known ones you havent used yet. Also, good to know you've dealt with that "copyright bullshit", had to deal with something similar recently myself.

[@LLG_Murdock]

I think a versus with Anakin Skywalker rather than Darth Vader could be interesting. Perhaps against Exar Kun or Darth Malgus

[@Legionzzzz1]

this is taken directly from the wiki and talks about revans force ability Revan was able to channel both the light and dark sides simultaneously, and as a result Revan could unleash the Force in its purest form by opening himself to both sides of the Force in battle. By drawing on the Force, Revan could bolster his natural physical abilities, increasing his speed and strength and allowing him to perform acrobatic feats impossible for normal Humans

[@matthewsands1572]

This seemed a bot of a mismatch and I don't think anyone would think it would end with anything but a Plagueis victory. Admittedly it would be hard to find a good match for Plagueis but a proper vs with Sidious is one instance where it could be interesting. Maybe Windu too (maybe)

[@EngY2502]

Darth Vader (Anakin) vs Darth Vader (machine)

[@scribesorcerer4967]

Mecha Moa Vader Anakin would be on par with a Dark Side amped Luke. But Vader’s mindset would be pure rage at his younger self instead of a conflicted spar with his son. I believe Machine Vader would win.

[@DaneFalco]

a Question: Wouldn't had it been logical that Baas being an obvious an adept in Quarterstaff fighting, that should have been a factor in defending a saber staff? Despite the obvious effects of a saber's blade.some of the motion should have been no different than someone wielding a staff. striking at either end of the weapon

[@Eltrio2]

I'd like to see a fight between Luke Skywalker vs Mace Windu, or maybe Anakin vs Luke (I'd like to see if Luke would be able to take on his dad during his younger, more force oriented days, or if Anakin would've had the upper hand -no pun intended-)

[@jeremiahlambert1129]

Jensaarai1, a match up of darth...wgatever his name (thr dark lord of the sith that was the force feeder...nhilis...i spell that righ?) and a droid like proxy. the reason being that nhilis couldnt use force drain.. somewhat leveling the playibg field

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

he could just use force augmentation to such a high degree no droid could keep up.

That was when he, you know, HAD A BODY. (And the thing is, tech improves over thousands of years.)

[@iamnotgood7324]

darth krayt satele is on par with force abilities but she is not the best lightsaber duelist losing to malgus in a pure lightsaber fight twice

[@JoelCelaya]

I believe it would be interesting to do a versus video of non-force wielders, for example Captain Rex vs. Boba Fett (:

[@youtubeisapublisher6407]

I'd say that because Plaugueis can empower is body, and because he is already super humanly strong before force empowerment, I'd say it would take only a few empowered strikes from his blade to shear through baas' staff. Consider also the nature of plagueis, if he so desired, he could hide from baas, and literally will him to die from a distance, slaying him without moving a finger.

[@banethesithari]

yes he knows an incredible amount compared to most sith but not much compared to sidious, true i see you point and with bane being able to use a lightsaber as well that might just give him a big enough advantage to win most of the time

[@cup1966wow]

Luke has had more experience in dueling he has fought more opponents and and a lot more powerful opponents. Revan virtually has no speed feats, Luke has matched Sidious, someone who would move too fast for Revan to react to or even see. Yes Sidious has done that to characters Like Maul, Anakin, 4 jedi masters, he was too fast for Mace to react before his amp kicked in, so Revan wouldn't even keep up with him.

[@benbruemmer6044]

You should do Shaak Ti versus Ki Adi Mundi or really anyone who you think would be a good matchup with Ki Adi Mundi. He's a really prominent jedi during the Clone Wars, but I don't know much about how powerful he is in combat.

[@WorstScenarios]

General Grievous vs Pong Krell

[@tweso1499]

Worst Scenarios Legends Grievous would not only kill Krell, he would have *DEVASTATED* him. Krell would give him a good fight, but it won’t be a prolong battle, unless Krell is on the run. Canon Grievous would try to kill Krell, but he would be outclass only by Krell’s use of the Force. The plot would have to play for Grievous to win, which would be more difficult for him to overcome the (fallen) Basalisk (pardon spelling) Jedi Master

[@conordolan34]

Mace Windu vs. Count Dooku. The two were said to be equals, but never engaged in combat to my knowledge.

[@BlackLegion12621]

So you were Shang Tsung this entire time, disguised as Plagueis.

[@server333]

0:10 But first and foremost he was known to be a lobster

[@banethesithari]

reven never proved himself to be on the level of the greats ,his greatest feat his finding the star forge and nearly conquering the galaxy with it which isnt very impressive as he had near unlimited ships and weaponry

[@Legionzzzz1]

in terms of force power the two are fairly matched with revan getting the edge in some areas and vader getting the edge in other areas. When looking at revan it was like looking into the heart of the force while vader had the highest midaclorian count the history of the order. Though revan has more force ability's to use then vader and the fact that he can use force abilities that only he can use due to him being a master of both sides and finding balance and clarity between the two.

[@shapiro5000]

Great video, love the level of detail!!!

[@oneannoyingwhiteguy]

I think it would be interesting if you were to do a video with Jocasta Nu, seeing as many Jedi mention her wisdom in the Force and her prowess in battle as being quite exceptional.

[@DarthArachnious]

After reading Union. When Mara has a nightmare of being "given" to an evil Luke by The Emperor. It occurred to me that Ben Skywalker might of been a product eugenics instead of love. This is one of the reasons Jedi don't marry.

[@kingzseventh7017]

This guy seems to under estimate Yoda alot for some reason, when really he is very great lightsaber duellist and doesnt just launch himself at his opponents he uses ataru to such a degree yes however uses his blade almost in a form of makashi slipping himself inside his opponents guards with such speeds not even sidious or dooku could deal with I do like the way he presents his match ups id put him as one of my top favourites infact at the top on par with Evan Nova who too also has his flaws but who doesn't its just you guys explain your opinions better than other vs match ups ive seen

[@TinyTorah]

If you'd be so kind, Jensaarai, to attempt to conclude the age-old "Darth Vader vs. Darth Bane" argument, I'd be awful grateful.

[@DarthWill3]

Actually, Plo Koon wasn't seen using Force shields. And Luke removed Vader's mask when Anakin was DYING. Plo's mask was snatched during combat. So, Savage must've studied Kel Dor biology during his apprenticeship under Tyranus.

[@MAFIAProductions496]

Maybe you could do Darth Andeddu vs Darth Phobos, I would like to see that because they are from completely different times and they were both terrified the jedi in their times

[@Thedoctor19000]

You know. I understand why there are not any videos in the "Versus" series with Darth Nihilus or Darth Sion as contenders. It is probably because anyone who is not a "wound" in the Force are defenseless against Darth Nihilus; that is why the Exile - the only "wound" in the Force - was capable of stopping Darth Nihilus.

[@GMCiaramella]

I'd love to see a breakdown of Luke Skywalker vs. anyone... the detail you go to is amazing!

[@TengouX]

I love the bit of Dumbledore vs Voldemort thrown in there, especially when I realized that they were actually pretty appropriate for the topic at hand.

[@Rocleod211]

very good point, and in truth I'm not sure if Revan could stand in comparison to most of them, I just wanted to point out that he did more than JUST uncover the Star Forge. But yeah, Exar may very well take that fight, but it would be close.

[@deathnotehell1]

what was that game shown around 6:30? On a side note just found this channel and these videos has got me interested in actually reading the books. Subbed.

[@deathnotehell1]

***** Okay cool thanks. It just that they sort of looked like they were from the Knights of the Old Republic 2 but I wasn't sure.

[@Emperordmb]

Well due to his holocron collection Bane is at least familiar enough with most dark side techniques to at least defend himself.

[@tommyg506]

the main reason i think that jensaarai doesnt use many new characters is because thats a lot of research into a completely new character which takes time so he gets moaned at for not being fast enough on episode so there is an obvious balance required. However i do agree some new blood would really be appreciated however i do love this level of in depth analyse. Keep going my friend you are really great at what you do :)

[@heathenwizard]

I personally think that Aurra Sing vs. Asajj Ventress would be a great video. Battle of the Star Wars Femm Fatales!

[@Bdutch456]

You got to do one on Darth Bane, I don't see any Jedi or Sith being able to beat him!

[@swcallow98]

I'd quite like to see a video covering Darth Nihilus, because I at least am not sure about whether his accomplishments were down to his raw Force potential or his peculiar Force Drain ability. I'm also quite confused about his Force potential and actual power in the first place, because this side of him is somewhat overshadowed by his Drain ability... Correct me if this comment is stupid, because I don't like seeming stupid, especially about Star Wars...

[@nobleclonetrooper]

Hey, Jensaarai1, are you planning on doing any VS with Galen Marek? Obviously i don't actually care what VS you do next, as I love all your videos.

[@dericcorley7424]

I wander, could a blood transfusion result in the transference of medaclorians. Causing someone to become force sensitive?

[@heathenwizard]

She's a skilled lightsaber combatant, has arguably killed more Jedi than Ventress has (included Sharad Hett, a renowned Jedi Knight and skilled duelist), is a master of several weapons, is clever, and has displayed a reasonable ability to . She also has some implants that increase her agility and reaction time. She's an assassin, so I highly doubt that she would fight on terrain even slightly favoring Ventress, and she would capitalize on any advantages she could find.

[@moria2021]

Cade Skywalker vs Anakin Skywalker would be an interesting match up, in my opinion

[@davidthrashdat]

I like these videos. I believe it may be a little too long though.

[@MainHeretic]

Kyle Katarn vs Jolee Bindo

[@tweso1499]

MainHeretic Kyle would beat Jolee due to having a better lightsaber style as a Jedi Battlemaster on par or greater with that of Count Dooku and Mace Windu.

[@rex7on]

Vodo-Siosk Baas gets blitzed. Plagueis stomps.

[@dulio3240]

Vodo Siok Bass is able to use the Force but when he face exar kun. Both refrain from using force powers as both knows they have powerful force shields to shield from force attacks. Exar kun also have to plan ahead to fight vodo siok bass like construct a customized saberstaff and focus on his master's weakness. Exar kun doesn't pull his punches like how he kill odan urr. exar kun also wants to avoid a long stalling fight as there will be more jedis and they may use force sever on him

[@FaceUnreality]

I'd come down to your teachings. But I wouldn't qualify and die.

[@Legionzzzz1]

and it provides opportunity's for lots of videos before his fall during his fall and after his fall

[@Scarygamesweakly]

Revan was one of the best tacticians of his time, his was a master of lightsaber combat and used a variety of force powers, plus Revan has faced more powerful duelists during his time as both jedi and sith, all though vader is powerful he just wont be able to keep up with revan's combat ability.

[@tosoledo]

Some suggestions: Darth Nihilus, vs Darth Malak, Darth Revan vs Palpatine, Mase Windu vs Starkiller. In other word don't always use the same people, it is becoming repetitive.

[@wolfboy18]

I want to see a Video of Plageis's Master Vs anyone else. Just curious. Anyways love these videos.

[@Legionzzzz1]

i know you probably hear this sometimes but you should do some revan videos since he was a very powerful jedi/sith/jedi and there is a lot of information on him

[@josephpatt9382]

(Continued) Lightsaber combat... Sidious didn't teach himself, and Darth Sidious was an extremley skilled duelist. There is no doubt in my mind that Darth Plagueis could hold off Baas and a ton of other Jedi as well. And after reading Darth Plagueis, he has technique, I don't know where "very little technique" came from bro.

[@TinyTorah]

I agree once again with your conclusion.
