This one was pretty easy to call honestly, Plagueis was an ingenious Sith Lord who was instrumental in the Rule of Two Sith's revenge on the Old Jedi Order, but he just never prioritized combat, he sought to destroy the Sith's enemies through contagion, not subjugation. Personally though, I feel when it comes to absolute raw power, Luke edges out on Durron, though Durron is definitely comparable. My only real complaint about legends continuity is that the Force abilities become so astronomical and immense it becomes hard to take seriously, and at times made me question why anyone bothered to take on Grandmaster Luke Skywalker and his Jedi. That's pretty why Legacy era took place over 100 years after Luke's death, as it brought the power scaling down to something a bit more believable. Still doesn't change the fact that Legends were superior to Disney.

[@DarthInsomnis]

@@tanletheorymarajadesateles6722 Plagueis beats Bane and Shan handily. Revan and Malak would give him a good fight and might win outright. Kun would be enough of a challenge for Plagueis by himself, Ulic wouldn't be able to do very much.

[@DarthInsomnis]

wristofkings for me, the more fun fight bane vs Plagueis, it’s hard to say. Although Plagueis does have the force and physical buff, bane is quite literally a muscle tank of a sith, and does command great power in the dark side. I mean, Plagueis did suffer greatly after his assassination attempt, but bane did survive being beaten to death in the ring, almost being killed by his armor, and was able to keep it together long enough to attempt essence transfer after the very agonizing loss of his arm from Zannah’s dark side tendril. Really it’d be a contest of two powerful Sith: one stronger in martial and the other stronger in force.

[@yahwhey2392]

I’ve been waiting for this. Also, has anybody thought about Darth Caedus vs. Darth Traya yet? Both were Sith Lords who tried to use the Dark side to an end that wasn’t just obtaining power, and they are pretty similar when it comes to their fall to the dark side since they were both corrupted by war. Both of them rely on unorthodox tactics, with Traya using Trakata and Telekinetic Lightsaber manipulation while Caedus uses vibroblades and poison.

[@wristofkings]

Caedus wrecks her. Lumiya would be more Traya's speed I think.

[@robgeorge4581]

Does Traya have prep? If she does and Caedus does not then Traya, Traya+prep is scary. Otherwise, Caedus ftw. She wrecks Caedus in a game of chess though.

[@yahwhey2392]

wristofkings I don’t think so. Caedus has more raw force power, but Traya has more abilities at her disposal. They both have shatterpoint and illusion, but Traya has Drain Force, Force Fear, and Force Stun. Their physicality isn’t that far off either, with Traya having comparable pain tolerance and resilience (having hand cut off and impaling herself/surviving being beaten up by Sion). As for lightsaber combat, I think Trakata and Telekinetic Saber manipulation gives Traya the edge. Caedus is a blademaster, sure, but he’s consistently been beaten by basically everybody he fought. Add to that, there’s nobody in the NJO who has faced Traya’s style before, let alone used it.

[@wristofkings]

@@yahwhey2392 The gap in Force power is simply too large between Caedus and Traya. Also, Caedus has gone into almost every canon duel he's ever been in with serious physical/mental handicaps and even then still managed to turn the situation in his favor or at least survive long enough to escape (the one exception was GM Luke, who could have very well ended Caedus regardless of what he did if Ben Skywalker didn't intervene). He didn't even want to fight in his last duel with Jaina (along with looking like the Black Knight from Monty Python at that point) and he was still holding her off for a while.

People being “equal to“ Luke in raw power is something I always take issue with, it really just shouldn’t happen all things considered.

[@InSanic13]

I'd take it as Kyp being strong enough to be comparable to Luke in power, maybe a little stronger than Yoda.

[@bluehero-96]

I always take it as comparable to Luke's passive power. Not his full power.

[@Morgothslackey]

Closest would be Palpatine. Of course if it hadn’t been for Vader, Luke would have been ashes. The Great Luke was crying for daddy from the emperors lightning.

[@robgeorge4581]

"Equal to" is something I also take issue with. But near equals or people in the same general weight class is fine with me. I would argue that DE Sidious is actually superior to GM Luke in terms of raw force power (without oneness) given his ability to conjure force storms without an external amp.

[@jonathanryan9946]

I personally accept that fellow Skywalkers have or had at least the potential to become near the level Luke achieved in the original Expanded Universe. So I could accept Anakin Solo being described near or greater than Luke, with Jacen and Jaina being just a tad weaker but in the same league. Later Ben Skywalker being like Anakin Solo and being another possible near Luke contender. Obviously Leia, if she trained like Luke had, would be nearly identical to Luke. Anakin Skywalker had the potential until he was put in the suit. The Legacy era is harder to judge but logic would imply Cade was at least as strong as Sidious. Most other Skywalkers either don't have enough scenes to judge them, only a Skywalker via marriage, are clearly weaker, or just not force sensitive. Allana is just hard to judge due to her youth, but I felt it was implied she had all the potential Jacen Solo had. Kyp Durron's claims to be at Luke's level or stronger screamed the bad trope of having new characters having to top the original characters. Like Spider-Man having all these Spider powers but all later Spider characters got his and a few extra. I always took it as a sign of bad writing and just viewed it as Kyp being an egotistical brat who thought way too highly of himself, and so did quite a few later writers I felt too. Obviously this was my opinion before the prequels and Anakin becoming a "Choosen One" who was created by the force itself, which only made Kyp Durron's claim to be on Luke's level even crazier in my mind. I think the best explanation is Kyp is so impulsive he got one reading of Luke while he was holding back and just assumed that's all there was too him and his ego never let him admit he was wrong in his first assessment. I personally feel the Old Republic era characters don't perfectly mesh well with Lucas's storyline of the Choosen One, but they could be made to fit just due to the sheer amount of time between them and how easily powers could be lost and powers Wax and wane over the millenniums. So who knows exactly how strong the ancient Sith really were or if they just had lost knowledge that let them do crazier things while being closer to Palpatine. Plus not to mention Luke Skywalker was pretty passive in his power usage. So he wouldn't go blowing up stars with the force or draining the life off of planets to feed himself. As to Darth Bane or Darth Revan, I feel they where likely closer to Darth Vader but could be at most as strong as Darth Sidious. Though I'm more inclined to lean Vader's level. Darth Plagueis was definitely at Darth Sidious' range.

[@ArikGST]

Slight counter-point. From how they are discribed and shown, the three rings of defense are basically a hybrid of Shii-Choo, Soresu, Ataru and Shien/Djem So since they were still built on the foundation of classical styles. The three rings is practically Niman recreated with a fighter`s mindset. I would argue that while Plagueis might be unfamiliar with this hybrid, the individual techniques aren`t completely foreign and he might/would be able to adopt his knowledge of the classical forms to deal with the three rings. This doesn`t change the fact that Kyp is likely the more seasoned, practiced and skilled fighter, but I wouldn`t call his fighting form itself a win.

[@iceomistar4302]

I agree, the three rings aren't all that unique as the principals of fencing carryover across all styles and there's only so many ways you can attack with a lightsaber, sure Kyp may know of some unorthodox moves but his basic saber technique would be pretty straightforward and Plagueis would not be blindsided or defeated so easily as Evan thinks as it seemed to me that Plagueis was somewhat toying a little with Venamis before getting more serious and resorting to his force abilities to defeat Venamis, though I do agree that Kyp Durron most likely is the better duelist I don't see him being wildly superior to Plagueis and their duel would probably be on even terms for the first and 2nd stages with Kyp's greater experience, skills and more layered technique ultimately winning out in the final stage of their duel.

[@geoffreyedgson7875]

Good points, but there is one thing about the "Three-Rings of Defense" that are often overlooked, and have parallels in modern, IRL fighting. The 3-rings, or Strong-style, Medium-style, and Fast-style, were all taught to the students in Luke's a Academy, and from their the they could develop their own preferences and habits towards fighting, yet the 7 traditional forms (at least mid-Yuzzhan Vong-war and later), were all known to the Jedi (Kyle Katarn, Kam Solusar, Mara Jade, indicate this), and Jacen Solo has been depicted teaching Ben SKywalker basic Shii-Cho velocities in the Legacy Novels. For the NJO could learn the Traditional forms, but fit them into the 3-Rings of Defense instead of use older "textbook" habits which Old Jedi Order Knights and masters did. In this vein, another visual example of this can be found in Galen Marek. With Galen, Darth Vader only taught him lightsaber basics, then withheld anything about the 7 Forms from him and spent years only sparring with his Apprentice. Those sparring sessions, with Darth Vader and Proxy, forced Galen to devlop his own unique habbits and tactics through trial-and-error, or personalize-or-die. Only once those sunk-in did Vader introduce other lightsaber forms to Galen, from where the Apprentice decided to practice Soresu, Shien and Juyo, fitting them into the framework he'd developed via Sparring. This made Galen Marek a unique figure in his own right, and later, NJO-trained Jedi developed along similar avenues; preferring 1 of the Rings over the others, or using 1 or 2 for defense and separate ring for offense. Evannova95, and Jensaarai One, directly explored this in their recent videos "Katarn vs. Darth Vader," and "Katarn vs. Malgus." The former especially dissected how Katarn used defensive moves centred around his "middle"-ring , and offensive "outer"-ring & "inner"-ring; whereas Darth Vader favoured the "inner"ring for his defense, or applied an "outer"-ring "bludgeoning-style," and "middle"-ring balanced style. Which they themselves fit the other lightsaber forms into. Kyle Katarn: Outer-ring (Djem So, SHii-cho) + Middle-ring (Makashi [blade-binding], Niman, Soresu) + Inner-ring (Ataru) Darth Vader: Outer-ring (Djem SO, Juyo, SHii-cho) + Middle-ring (Ataru, Makashi) + Inner-ring (Soresu). I might be wrong, but the novels "I, Jedi" and the Jedi Academy video games were likely published before the Jedi Path, or any novels, guidebooks and lore about 7 Lightsaber Forms came out (or perhaps were even invented). The books also go into strong details about the purpose, mechanics and how different characters learn those skills, which to me make them a more comprehensive and relatable fighting style to enision. I have been practicing martial-arts for 6 years; especially Muay Thai, which actually include 5 "styles" that are marked by which moves, or limbs, different Nak Muay favour. And even in Boxing, there are 4 basic "styles" which different boxers are recognized as. Most of them indicated by the range different boxers prefer, or how they use their footwork. Muay Thai: -Muay Mat (heavy punched + low-kicks). -Muay Tae (kick-specialists). -Muay Khao (knees + elbows). s -Muay Femur (defensive-technicians) -Muay Bok (offensive-technicians) Boxing: -Inner-fighter/Swarmer. -Out-boxer. -Brawler. -Boxer-puncher. (look them up, and you'd be surprised).

[@geoffreyedgson7875]

I was re-watching this video, found this comment, and it got me thinking. About a separate the 3-Rings from the "Classical" forms, with a specific, peculiar parallel with Fast-style, Medium-style and Strong-style. IRL, the 3-Rings first appear in the novel "I, Jedi," which was released before the Prequel series or several tie-in materials which featured the 7 forms. The writers who devised it as an explanation for Luke teaching his Jedi students were drawn more from real-world sword principles, and had no reference or input of SHi--CHo, Djem So, or other styles which were published in later years. IN-universe, Luke devised the 3-Rings as a teaching system to meet threats and defend or handle them, similar to real-world Krav Maga. He devised this using the lightsaber skills he picked up from Yoda, Kenobi and Vader through both teaching and emulating them, along with working input from Kam Solusar and Corran Horn. There are parallels with different "rings" and individual moves from classic forms, yet the 3-rings dominantly address different situations and foes, rather than functioning as a holistic or "stylistic" martial art akin to Old Jedi Order styles. The 3-rings were made with defence in mind, hence the name, and functionally involved different blade positions to meet threats, whether with a blaster, duelling or a separate weapon. With this defensive application,, or progressive advance, it's more like deliberate Soresu, emphasizing defence and positions to end threats and physical manoeuvres. Simplicity, instead of flamboyant or complex blade work, footwork and mindsets. Furthermore, later after Luke's early batch of students, the 3-Rings were swapped-out with Strong-style, Medium-Style and Fast-style. All three are more complete styles with footwork and physical positions, defensive and offensive components and the potential for selective hybridization or "purist" stylists. Soresu====>Djem SO, Shien, Ataru 3-Rings====>Strong-Style, Medium-Style, Fast-Style. Forms V (both variants) were credited to be offensive developments from Soresu, while Ataru is the complete opposite of Soresu, favouring acrobatics, explosive energy and decisive aggression. Strong Style is physically intense and duelling-centric, with Meidum style as a measured and practical approach, and Fast-style favouring flank sub-versions, combat parkour and rapid stabs or cuts. Most of which do form components of the 3-Rings, in a startingly parallel with the relationship Djem So, SHien and Ataru have with Soresu.

[@SHADOWDRAGON71]

I've delved into the NJO as well as Darth Plageuis, and I have to say that your matchup with Jedi Master Kyp Durron and Sith Lord Darth Plageuis was HIGHLY entertaining and insightful (plus, I really like your creative vocabulary; it's actually quite refreshing, especially these days). Durron has been one of my most favorite Star Wars characters of all time, in particular because, despite the fact that he emerged having committed several of the most heinous acts that a Jedi could even conceive, his willingness to commit himself to atone for what he had done is what makes him such a compelling Master Jedi; possibly even one who could succeed Luke Skywalker as Grandmaster of the Order. Well done, my man!

So Kyp's scaling always seemed a bit ridiculous. So Kyp is on par with Luke in both NJO and LOT? Luke who surpassed the most powerful Sith Lord of All Time 15 years prior to NJO? That Sith Lord who was Equal to Yoda? Who was superior to Vader? To Vitiate? I have no problem say Kyp has the potential similar to characters such as Sidious, Bane, Galen Marek, Mace Windu, even Jaina or Jacen, but Luke (who is 12 years older than Kyp) is not an equal in force potential, but immediate available power? It to me seems a bit crazy. By this logic Kyp would likely have potential similar to Anakin (which is crazy) I get that a lot of this is due to different writers having different interpretations of the scaling of characters, but its just always seemed a bit much for me Love Kyp one of my favorite characters, but his scaling was always a bit of wank. If you ask me he should have scaled similar to Vader interms of force power (80% of RotJ Sidious) powerful and easily top tier, but not GM Luke level

[@gaidheal6792]

Not sure why you list Bane, Jacen and especially Jaina as having Sidious tier potential. Jacen's showings, even as Caedus, pale in comparison to anything Sidious has. Jaina is vastly inferior to Caedus and I doubt she can even defeat someone like Kenobi, let alone touch Sidious. As for Bane, he scales directly under Sidious by a fairly large degree via several sources.

Kyp was written before the whole idea of a chosen one, midichlorians or the events of the clone wars were truly fleshed out hence why Kyp, a seemingly nobody could be equal or greater than skywalker.

This of course not yet going into the fact that Kyp is most definitely not stronger than Luke since Luke is basically superman where he never really goes all out espdcially post njo

[@williamhenning4700]

Mostly fine with this video. Only major problems I had were the implication that Kyp was on par with Luke because of the dovin basil feat when Luke was notably exhausted at the time yet still managed to carry out an arguably better version of the feat along with the idea that DE Luke was on par with DE Sidious because he landed a Force push on Sidious when the latter was caught off guard and defeated him in a duel when Leia was providing him with an amp via battle meditation. Also the assumption that the gravity wells produced by the dovin basils ( I.E. artificial black holes ) function in the same way that real life black holes do. Something that's rather unlikely since it's implied that only strong dovin basils are able to affect a moon yet even the smallest are far bigger than a coin. "During a Yo’Gand’s Core maneuver, a strong dovin basal was dropped to the surface of a planet, where it latched onto the planet’s core and simultaneously grabbed an orbitting moon with it’s gravitic beam" - The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia. - vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/7/70/DobidoSernpidal.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070217060722 Aside from that, the analysis was decent with a few notable exceptions here and there.

Balanced for any situation but with a bit more depth to it than Niman's blade work. 23:43 Totally agree with this. Plague is an excellent example of a reactive diplomat Niman user. 27:05 Plague's skillset doesn't work well in the std VS Series setup. His skillset is at optimal performance level when he has prep.

But yeah, Kyp at his prime is a solid comp to GM Luke in terms of raw power. 43:17 Want to know how to beat someone with insane force power? Hax. Lots of hax. Fortunately for Plague, Midi-chlorian manipulation is some top tier hax. To bad it requires prep which Plague doesn't have. RIP. 43:39 My opinion on this abilities effectiveness against force wielders is OHKO hax but requires a solid amount of prep. 45:20 Search your feelings, you know it to be true! Unless we have a physics major in the comments who can prove that Dovin Basals are psuedo black holes that dont follow the physics of actual black holes. Dont ask me to do it, I was a math major. 45:35 Top 20? Nah, in terms of force power Plague is #5 only losing out to Caedus, Sidious, Valk, and resurrected Darth Krayt. 46:35 An inequality statement makes me very happy. Even though I say in terms of force power DE Sidious and Kyp should switch places. Lets assume that Dovin Basal function like real life black holes. DE Sidious generated a wormhole larger than a ship sized Dovin Basal. 49:45 Thats actually a pretty huge power gap. Unlike Kenobi vs Plague, I actually do agree with the idea of Kyp winning. Def a superior swordsman, can counter a lot of Plagues ability, Plague lacks prep, and Dovin Basal manipulation is nuts. My main gripe with your breakdown of Kyp is no mention of mind rube for Kyp or Sith Sorcery in general. As for Plague, solid improvement from your last video with the character though your lack of Plague's application of his force abilities for combat was not really there (unless I missed something of course). However if Plague has prep, he wins. Bring in the exact alt weaponry for the job +midi-chlorian manipulation is some scary stuff. Great matchup, worth the wait, and looking forward to whats coming next Evan!

[@austinkersey2445]

The only real thing I disagree with on here is that Dooku is much closer to Yoda than some would believe. As just the short bout they engaged in left Yoda out of breath, and Yoda was much slower on the draw with his abilities than the Count. Yoda is inarguably greater, but not so vastly that his apprentice couldn't contend. I mean . . . he and Windu are roughly equals. That said, I agree with most of your statements, and the verdict is pretty justified. Unlike the previous Versus video that involved Plagueis. I like Obi-Wan, but the New York minute Plagueis feels it's going on a little longer than he would enjoy, out comes the Force. It would almost be anti-climactic it would end so fast.

[@theunknownguy5775]

This idea just occurred to me: Darth Plagueis vs Darth Nihilus: The one who could save others from death vs the one who ate a whole planet to satiate his hunger. 🤔

[@zenethis92]

I think labeling Kyp Durron as equal with Luke in force connection is unfounded. Yes he is immensely powerful, it is stated multiple times that Luke was the most powerful Jedi in galactic history, in the NJO (which Durron was a part of) and Luke was the only person, Durron included, that was guaranteed to be able to take down Caedus according to Luke. So while Evan is right that Durron is close to Luke's league, he isn't an equal. The dovan basal incidents aren't really reliable for scaling due to the circumstances around both.

[@quangtrungbui675]

for the ones who views the Force in a pragmatic approach like Kyp, I think he can be slightly more powerful than his big boss Luke. The dark side of the Force, aside from one's natural sensitivity via Midi-chlorians, heavily relies on one's steadfast will and intensely focused emotion in order to produce immense raw power. Grand Master Luke, a charismatic and diplomatic man like dad Vader, rarely taps into that kind of power, he dedicates himself to be the immovable rock and a empathetic monk who guides people out off misery to enlightenment, hurting people is not the optimal way to achieve that, and Luke is pretty much the physical embodiment of the light side. Durron is somewhat like Luke's other dad Anakin, a man totally dedicated to showing his ego and assert his dominance on the table in every aspect. But he does not let arrogance grow and cloud his mind, constantly pushing himself to achieve greater power. He enjoys leading from the frontline and maintains that enjoyment even in the brink of death. This is the perfect formula to maximize the overwhelming potential of the dark side proven by Darth Bane and Darth Vader. I can believe that, though this maybe occasional since he must maintain discipline and self-control constantly, a major that Kyle Katarn later developed techniques to protect one's mind from the seductive call of darkness and it took quite some time for him to develop it.

[@khalduras784]

Its not unfounded. It was admitted as such by Luke and exar kun. Some guide books even suggested that Kyp matches Luke's raw powers in the force

So question Evan, could you do a tier system for the NJO Jedi Council?

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

@AzureAmaterasu Sebatyne is definitely stronger than Corran Horn because of the whole telekinesis thing, and she also defeated Kenth Hamner without much difficulty. Similarly, Mara has to be better than Hamner and possibly Katarn as well, since Mara almost killed 2- armed Caedus in 1v1 which is much better than the other 2 ever did. I'd honestly put even Cilghal above Horn since she can easily rag doll him with the Force and he has no defense. Kyp is definitely #1 after Luke. I'd say- 1. Kyp, 2. Mara/ Katarn, 3. Saba, 4. Hamner, 5. Cilghal, 6. Horn. Jaina would probably be top 3 level after killing Caedus.

[@lapplandkun9273]

Im hoping evan does a tier for all jedi and sith out there. Yes, I know this sounds crazy and will take months even, but I also want them to include rey and kylo ren because I just absolutely despise the sequels and want rey to be bashed to hell.

[@jimpat2489]

Ok I don't know why you people underestimate horn so much . He is weaker than hamner ? A featless jedi ? Come on that's false. He is by far the best telepath in the njo and he is the best in energy absorption too . Of course everyone thinks that he is weak because of the lack of tk . WRONG !!! First of all he has compensated for his weaknesses in using tk as an offensive tool and for the most part as a defensive . He has relatively weak defences but not something anyone can exploit especially if he is seeing an attack coming . At the time of fotj he is propably the third or fourth best lightsaber duelist: 1. Luke 2. Kyle 3. Either corran or jaina . He has defeated the jensarrai and their sarrai karr yuzzan vong warrior and even a yuzzan vong commander shadao shai one of the best that the yuzzan vong had . Hordes of sith in coruscant and was one of the three jedi that were suggested to lead an attack against caedous . It was also implied that he would be able to take on lumiya and him not being some hot headed idiot like kyp it would propably be true that he was on the same level

@@wristofkings Kyp had to train to become such a powerful jedi so he is not a Mary Sue like Rey is. Not to the same degree at least. All his fits could be explained by his backstory while Rey insane powers are explain through her downloading Kylo Ren training by extracting his knowledge from his mind which is a very powerful ability to have for someone who hasn't been trained. In the Disney canon this level of mastery is explained by her unusual strong connection to the force but usually someone born with a strong force connection isn't overly surprised by his fits like Rey is because to him it feels natural. A good exemple of that would be Anakin piloting racing pods thanks to his jedi reflexes. The force help him perform his actions but he can't control it because he is unaware of its presence. On the contrary Rey is surprised by her piloting skills as if her force connection awakened only when the plot required it.

Cool verses video, one thing that I remember from rewatching the Council Forcecast review of the Darth Plagueis novel is that Jenssari said that the Rule of Two can't go into 'unlimited power' mode like older Sith Lords unless they have no other choice as it sends out a sign to nearby Jedi where they are. Also, I have two questions: 1) Do you know when the first part of the review for Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader is coming out on Fanalysis (I know that none of you do youtube as a job and therefore things like that and other real life events make recording harder, just wanted to know)? 2) Seeing as I've heard Halo music in the background of your videos for a long time (even going back to a video about all lightsaber colours), what is your opinion on the Halo franchise?

[@MastaKilla63]

Well, this was unexpected! A very good match indeed! I was wondering when the next matchup would be released, and you did not disappoint! Kyp does seem like an extremely dangerous threat indeed. I never knew he could manipulate a black hole or use the Aura of Uneasiness, even if the black hole is artificial. The only thing I would change would be the wording on his ability to adapt when dropped into fights cold. I tend to get the idea that he is capable of being dropped in cold in a physical sense by someone else, rather than the fact that he can adapt to any situation and make good decisions when he is forced to fight unexpecetdly. Still, I do understand what you meant though. The discussion on their force abilities after the comparison on them was interesting. I never thought Kyp surpassed Plagueis when it came to telekinesis, so I was honestly caught out there. Very good match again!

[@dakotatrue12]

Yep. It's because Luke is so powerful, so they have to make the villains powerful or they would be useless, which means they also have to make the side characters powerful.

[@gaidheal6792]

I am a big Kyp Durron fan, I did create one of his respect threads a few years ago after all, but I dont think he wins this. Even if you can argue that Kyp exceeds Plagueis in raw power, he hasn't shown or applied such applicable power in combat to the same degree Plagueis has. The Dovin Basal feat was accomplished with deep concentration and it exhausted him. It is unlikely he will be willing or even capable of unleashing such power in combat. Moreover, comparing Kyp with Luke is questionable at best. Not only are many of the accolades that suggest comparability are generally character opinions, but actual statements (even at the point of the Vong war) show Luke is the most powerful Jedi. There is also the fact that comparing Luke and Kyp through a Dovin Basal comparison is shifty due to the differing circumstances between them. When it comes to a Luke-Kyp dueling comparison, even if the sparring matches were 'dangerous', Luke and Kyp were having a conversation regarding strategy and Clighal weighed in on he duel as back up for Durron. Moreover, as mentioned Kyp was compared to Kyle Katarn who proved himself inferior to Caedus in skill, whom is not an equal to Luke by any metric.

[@ActionBastard666]

agreed

[@gaidheal6792]

@AzureAmaterasu Kyp being above Plagueis in raw power is certainly something I can subscribe to. But the lore seems to suggest (along with Kyp himself directly stating so in one of the Legacy novels) that he doesn't use or is willing to use his power so effectively in combat compared to someone like Plagueis. As for the DE Luke comparison, it would really depend where you have DE Luke. Personally I have him around Yoda/ROTS Sidious level due to his scaling, a tier you can argue that Plagueis isn't profoundly outclassed by even despite scaling below them. Note I don't have DE Luke overly close to DE Sidious because Sidious is clearly shown to be his superior for the vast majority of the story, dominating Luke until Leia shows. Then lastly there is the fact that there is no way in hell Plagueis is getting shanked by a Katarn tier duelist. It isn't a mere matter of being slightly below Caedus in this regard, it is a matter of being DECENTLY below Caedus, thus making Evan's Kyp-Luke comparison moot. Plagueis by all hype and indication should be the better duelist, and he is consistently underrated in this regard.

@@mc_rysiek5277 For whatever reason, I do not seem to be getting notifications on replies to comments, hence why I've not replied to their thread since. Firstly, chill out. No need to be so seemingly rude in the reply. *Caedus was able to hold his own against bloodlusted GM Luke, who also happened to have an element of suprise. And after that fight Luke outright considered Caedus to be his match.* Not exactly. The Luke Skywalker we are dealing with here (LoTF: Inferno), while indeed bloodlusted, is also racked with emotional hindrance and is in a state of deep depression after Mara's death. A poor mental state, particularly among Jedi, can actually act as a hindrance e.g. Anakin Skywalker, can shift CIS dreadnaughts as a Padawan, but struggles with less when emotionally compromised in LoE, iirc (might be remembering the wrong source). Luke was also dominating for the majority of the duel, landing more hits and dishing more damage. This is not even mentioning that Luke had (in the same novel, Inferno) _"not gestured, had not flinched, had not even shifted his gaze"_ and pinned Caedus to a chair where he _"found himself struggling against an invisible weight."_ to the extent he can't even reach the end of the chairs arm. Granted, Luke took him by surprise but _"it was equally true that he had done so with no visible effort-and that he was continuing to hold him with no apparent exertion."_ with Caedus musing that _"all that stood between him and a quick death was Luke Skywalker's much-strained sense of decency"_ (All quotes from Legacy of the Force: Inferno). Jacen's fight with the Luke amped Jaina is arguably more impressive. *Aside from the fact that Caedus outright acknowledged Katarn as a threat* Which can amount to him saying Katarn is decent, which is nice but ultimately it does not say much. Sidious mused that Ventress was a threat, but realistically she couldn't touch them if they were to engage. *Katarn and his subordinates were able to actualy stalemate Caedus in pure lightsaber duel. And it was repeteadly stated that Katarn's backup is nothing to Caedus, meaning it was Katarn who was doing the heavy lifting.* While most of this is true (bar it being a stalemate) there is context here. While his companions were ultimately no match for Caedus, they weren't entirely useless. Indeed, Valin Horn saved Katarn from having his leg amputated within the first 10 seconds of the duel. Moreover, Caedus was pre-prime for a start and he was still recovering from the previously discussed fight with Luke in which he sustained injuries. To add, Caedus was also biding his time for the GAG forces to arrive, was largely in control of the fight and wanted Katarn alive for questioning regarding the Jedi hideout on Endor. *It wasn't until Caedus started to abuse his power in the Force on those weaklings when the things went south.* Okay, but that isn't entirely relevant. Again, look at the context above. *You also conviniently ignore the fact that Luke considered both Durron and Katarn to be superior to Viun Galaan, another guy who held his own against Luke. * Actually he did not say Gaalan was superior to Kyp and Kyle. He said they were roughly on par. Let's look at the quote: _"He was good; Luke gave him that. He might have been a match for an expert swordsmaster such as Kyp or Kyle Katarn."_ - Fate of the Jedi: Backlash Even if you want to count the 'might' as a suggestion of Viun's inferiority, the quote still indicates rough parity and doesn't state outright superiority either. As for Viun's supposed comparability to Luke, we can infer that Luke was holding back through inference. Gaalan was merely a Lord within the Lost Tribe, and was below the High Lords. The ranks within the Lost Tribe were established _“according to his ability in the Force”_ (Fate of the Jedi: Ascension), thus we can assume High Lords > Lords in power. The High Lords, in turn, were below the Grand Lord Darish Vol, described as being _“less powerful manipulators of the Force”_ than him despite being _“utter masters of it”_ (Fate of the Jedi: Omen). Yet despite this, Darish Vol only possesses _“much of the power of Skywalker”_ (Fate of the Jedi: Ascension). Thus, we can assume that Luke was holding back against Viun Gaalan, whom is far weaker than Darish Vol who can only loosely compare to Luke. Furthermore, this is not even accounting for the fact that the duel between Gaalan and Skywalker took place on Dathomir, a noted Dark Side Nexus. *What Plagueis has on that?* Years of Banite training and knowledge under his belt. Banites themselves also stressing the importance of lightsaber combat, a tradition that dated back to Darth Bane. Indeed, one of Plagueis' foes Venamis is a testament to this fact and quality of training, knowing all 7 forms, blending them, studying styles and employing the unorthadox. Plagueis also has a unique familiarity of various weapons, has trained Sidious who in turn passed it down to Maul who trained him in _“numerous exotic and forbidden martial arts”_ (Jedi vs Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force) and he was _"one of the most skilled and deadly warriors in Sith history”_ (SW: Factfile #001). I think this is above Viun Gaalan, tbh. *Instead of complaining about Plagueis being "underrated", provide some actual arguments.* If you're going to be so cocky, then at least understand the context of what you are arguing. But if you want me to make a Plagueis case then what would you prefer power or skill? If skill I already provided a snippet but can go into more detail. For now though I will leave you with this.

Jacen's fight with the Luke amped Jaina is arguably more impressive* Luke is not Anakin, and vice versa. If you have some evidence that Luke's combat performance was compromised (instead of being in "battle-rage", as the book says), then provide it. The guy just saw Jacen torturing his son. I'm pretty sure Mara's death was the last thing he was thinking at the moment. In both situations Luke had element of surprise, which is massive advantage. Element of surprise repeatedly allowed less powerful Force wielders to gain the upper hand against the stronger (Savage Opress ragdolling Dooku and Ventress simultaneously). Obviously the stronger Force wielder (Luke) is going to own the weaker one (Caedus) in the same situation. Plus, defending against Force attack and breaking the enemy's hold while already being in it are two different things. After their duel, when Luke gained an actual measure of Jacen's power, he outright calls Jacen his match: "Three YVH droids were left. And Jacen. Against Luke and Ben. Jacen was Luke's match, which meant Ben had to cope with three combat droids. The odds weren't good." In fact, Luke outright admitted to himself that Jacen could kill him in a fight: "If I lead this mission, I will strike at Jacen with hatred. One of us will die, and Ben will follow our mutual example and be lost to the dark side. Luke did not need the Force to show him the future to know that this was true ." Those quotes utterly destroy the notion of Luke ragdolling Caedus in a fair, non-circumstancial encounter. *While most of this is true (bar it being a stalemate) there is context here. While his companions were ultimately no match for Caedus, they weren't entirely useless. Indeed, Valin Horn saved Katarn from having his leg amputated within the first 10 seconds of the duel.

Both Seha Dorvald and Caedus himself make note of the team's coordination. Katarn performed a risky move knowing for the fact that Caedus' potential counterattack will be intercepted by one of his allies. Even pre-prime Caedus was considered by Luke to be his match. And his injuries didn't come into play until the very end o the fight, after he suffered *additional* injury. As a matter of fact, his injuries were actually making him stronger: "So when Niathal said he did not look well, she was correct. He keenly felt his worst injury, not the vibroblade wound, not the scalp tear, not the kidney damage. All three were healing, all three were the kind of pain that strengthen him." He wanted *someone* alive, not Katarn specifically. Otherwise he wouldn't *impale* him with the lightsaber or *decapitate* Mithric. *As for Viun's supposed comparability to Luke, we can infer that Luke was holding back through inference. Gaalan was merely a Lord within the Lost Tribe, and was below the High Lords.

Furthermore, this is not even accounting for the fact that the duel between Gaalan and Skywalker took place on Dathomir, a noted Dark Side Nexus* No, we can't. There's absolutely nothing suggesting that Luke was holding back against Gaalan. Characters like Revan, Hero of Tython and Anakin Skywalker all became the most powerful Jedi of their respective eras without (or before, in HoT's case) officially being granted the rank of a Master. Just beceuse High Lords are *supposed* to be more powerful than Lords, doesn't mean they actually *are* especially since the ranks within the Lost Tribe were established not only according to strength in the Force, but also to physical attractivness. Titles in themselves don't mean much. The whole hierarchy argument falls apart completely when you realize that Gaalan (a Lord) performed against Luke better than Ivaar Workan, who was not only a High Lord, but also became the highest ranking member of the Tribe after Vol's death. Waiting for actual evidence that Dathomir is *exclusively* dark side nexus, rather than being a world "strong in life energy" (The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons) or which "atmosphere seems to crackle with life energy" (The Essential Atlas). Also, things like external amplifiers tend to be mentioned before or after a fight. In the same series of books, the dark side nexus of Dromund Kaas (and its effects on Luke and co) is adressed almost immediately. With Dathomir? Not so much. *Years of Banite training and knowledge under his belt. Banites themselves also stressing the importance of lightsaber combat, a tradition that dated back to Darth Bane.

This is in my opinion very similar to Anakin vs Obi Wan, as like Skywalker Opress has more raw power in the force and natural skill in lightsaber combat, we’re K’Kruhk has decades more training and experience, more emotionally balanced and more tactical in the use of his abilities.) 22. Galen Marek vs Kit Fisto 23. Agen Kolar vs Savage Opress

[@adamtremblay9126]

I do like quite a few of these. Tho Savage vs K'kruhk was done by GreyJedi91 and Vindican vs Krayt isn't even a contest.

[@thefilmwatcher1302]

Anakin Skywalker vs Mace Windu. It would be an interesting battle to watch.

[@zenethis92]

With the feats of Durron, Kyp going toe to toe with GM Luke is somewhat suspect because this is an injured Luke and he was dueling Kyp and another master at the same time. Plus Luke's duel with Jacen is quite circumstantial due to Luke's injuries vs. Lumiya that made him not 100% and then being poisoned and the environmental edge Jacen had. That all being said I am so glad to have you back Evan. Great video as always.

The duel with Caedus is circumstantial yes but Caedus was the one suffering under more disadvantages not Luke.

@AzureAmaterasu Broooo I totally forgot Jensaarai did that Luke Bane match-up

[@Randonsummers]

I'm also surprised you pulled for Ulic. I figured a lot of folks would root for Anakin, but thats all the more reason to set up that match up. Both of them were considered the "All-Star" Jedi in their respective eras and utilize almost the same mindset , with nuances in their techniques. It would be a slug-fest~

[@zackthezabarak739]

An excellent video EvanNova95, with an unexpected match up.

[@CHARSA93]

Pre-watch prediction: Durron wins overall via martial skill, despite Plagueis having both edges in physicality & force abilities (the latter being only minor).

[@CHARSA93]

Post-watch thoughts: For some reason, I thought it was Corran Horn who had the black hole manipulation ability, not Kyp. Plus, I thought this was gonna be like Plagueis v. Kenobi, only less contraversial (BTW, I agree with the final verdict of that video).

Good and iteresting video EvanNova, Is it possible to use Anakin Solo? Also based on this video, someone should ask Luke Skywalker (GM) vs Kyp Durron (I personally belive Luke would and should win).

[@tiredjediknight3110]

GM Luke would be the victor here. Tough fight but he's got all the tools he needs to defeat Kyp.

[@JediAcolyte94]

I don't see why the Council Forcecast members wouldn't be able to use Anakin Solo. If they can use Jaina and Jacen/Caedus I fail to see why they wouldn't be able to use him and I definitely think they should it just a matter of who he would put up against. Plus much like his siblings, there is plenty of material on Anakin Solo to create a script.

Ok Evan, I got some REALLY good versus series ideas for ya that you will certainly like since they'd be quite interesting to do for a few videos... Darth Revan vs Darth Nihilus Darth Krayt vs Darth Revan Cad Bane vs Komari Vosa Komari Vosa vs Asajj Ventress Darth Malgus vs Darth Sion Darth Sion vs Darth Bane Darth Maul vs Durge Kyle Katarn vs Atton Rand Starkiller/Galen Marek vs Kyle Katarn Ahsoka Tano vs Starkiller/Galen Marek and especially...…. Desaan vs Kylo Ren/Ben Solo

[@SGK1206]

Revan Krayt Cad Bane Malgus stomps Bane stomps Maul Kyle Starkiller Starkiller stomps Eh?

[@CompositeCreativity]

This is who I am Desann is one of the Dark Jedi from the video game Jedi Outcast II. You really think Maul could beat Durge? You know who and what that character is, right? In a fight on neutral ground, Maul doesn’t exactly have a way to kill Durge. The latter is of a race called the Gen’Dai that has insane regeneration properties (essentially making him the Star Wars equivalent of Deadpool), and has survived a lot of things that most species wouldn’t be able to. Durge has been buried alive for 60 years, has come back from lightsaber dismemberment, survived being burst apart by Obi-Wan Kenobi from within, and lacks most vital organs that most species need to live. Anything short of completely vaporizing Durge won’t do shit to him. What can Maul do in that regard? Exactly.

[@seeker4it]

Well thanks for letting me know about the Ahsoka v Starkiller versus vid, I honestly had no idea

[@CompositeCreativity]

[@seeker4it]

@ANTHONY THOMAS Thanks but I've already just watched the vid actually :)

[@SuperWindsage]

I’m very thankful for your measured and thoughtful measuring of Darth Plageius. Most of the time people overhype him beyond belief . While he had a good fight with a Sith apprentice and is intelligent beyond anything and good stuff... And he got ambushed by assassins that almost killed him when they weren’t aware he was a freaking Sith Lord. Great constitution and all but really people talking like he can beat yoda easy and his ilk annoy me. Good bit on Kyp. I think the dark hole thing is more messing with the artificial being that is making it altering what is already there type of thing. Still good fight and wonderful giving perspective on each.

[@L_M185]

I think the assassins almost killing him thing definitely underrates him. He ignored his senses out of fear of revealing himself which allowed them to get the first blow and severely weakened him for the rest of fight. Id say he was definitely tpm high council tier considering sidious stated he and plagius were a match for any of the jedi 1v1

[@jorbo4044]

Extremely novel matchup. Lovely video

[@SamuelJamesNary]

One point I might make is that because Plagueis's research into the Force itself and thus his midichlorian manipulation technique was covered so much in secret and behind the scenes... in the book "Plagueis" I don't think it's even hinted at that Palpatine might have known the details of the technique. Palpatine knew about it, but didn't know how to replicate it. Thus the power would be a complete unknown to anyone after Plagueis' own time because Plagueis was the only one to fully know about it and Palpatine killed him in a way that avoided having to deal with it. In this, while it is labor intensive and would be difficult to employ in a pitched battle, IF Plagueis could employ it... I don't think that Kyp or even Grand Master Luke would have had a defense against it. It would simply be too much of an unknown to them. In this, Kyp would HAVE to use his saber skills to not only put Plagueis on his back foot but keep the battle a physical one that would prevent Plagueis from gathering his energies and limiting what force powers he does used to those that are simple and easy to employ quickly.

[@papawedge7396]

[@darklord7289]

Darth Plagueis : the Sith sorcerer with a deep love for science and the etherial. Essentially he's a mad scientist who aimed for political control mixed with the scaling of life and immortality . He's basically Merlin had become a mix of a Jedi counsellor & Sith sorcerer with the personality of a roman emperor. Kyp Durron ; The broadened Jedi Counsellor who had the strength, skill and pragmatism of the Guardian branch. His technical skill of the blade is a unique blend of Dooku's precision and Anakin's intensity mixed in the light side's equivalent of Bane's Power and knowledge of the force , just shown in a very Jedi way like Mace Windu.

[@GAdmThrawn]

Kyp Durron is what Anakin should've been in the films. The more that I read about him the more that I would like to see a versus between the two. Damn, I can't wait to read the part where Kyp is able to control a black hole. I'm still in the middle of reading NJO for the first time. Some suggestions for future series: Jaina Solo-Fel vs. Darth Talon Mara Jade Skywalker vs. Darth Talon Jaina Solo-Fel vs. Mace Windu Darth Sion vs. Darth Malak Darth Malak vs. Lady Lumiya Bastila Shan vs. Lady Lumiya (Might have to refer to the RPG guide rather than the game itself in terms of scale level and abilities) YVH Droid vs. HK-47 HK-47 vs. IG-88 General Grievous vs. Shedao Shai

[@GAdmThrawn]

@AzureAmaterasu 1. Most likely. 2. Definitely. Still, it would be a fun match. 3. Due to Jaina being descended from the Skywalker lineage? 4. I don't know. I think this is really a coin toss. Both are impressive duelists. It comes down to their trump cards. Darth Malak has the power to draw Force energy from his opponents to boost his health. So, can he use this ability only on the Star Forge, or if he can use it without the Star Forge, can he use it on opponents who are strong in the Force? Because from what I can remember, Sion doesn't have a strong Force defense (that's how I tend to beat him in KOTOR II). But Sion also has the ability to return from the brink of death with his insurmountable will. Really, this is a case of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. 5. While Malak is impressively skilled, Lumiya has beaten post-ROTJ Luke Skywalker due to her unique weaponry. So, the question is: can Malak switch lightsaber styles to adapt to Lumiya's unorthodox style like Luke did? Or will he buckle down on his Form II fighting style to try and find an opening? 6) That's why I referred to the game guide. Bastila's story was left open-ended so we don't really know what became of her after the game. She obviously survived the First Jedi Purge though, so we know that much. 7. I think in the end, yes, but HK will give one hell of a fight. 8. After witnessing IG-11 in _The_ _Mandalorian_ , I'm not so sure. Both are built for assassination. 9. Shedao Shai was the Yuuzhan Vong leader who Corran Horn dueled on Ithor. It was a good fight too. I'm still reading about Tsavong Lah but I've yet to read about any instances of him fighting. Nom Anor has been more of a spy and assassin than a fighter. And that's all of the major Yuuzhan Vong leaders that I can recall. I am open to other suggestions though.

Austin Preble I think Revan would win mostly due to his tactical prowess, but it would be a relatively close fight because of Anakin’s raw power

[@memine8795]

Austin Preble Revan would rail Anikin

[@kaitosevski3881]

Revan is hella overrated imo. He is Vader tier at best based on his (practically non existent) feats. Anakin gets the physical edge. Revan was a pretty average sized guy who doesn't have any particularly impressive strength or speed feats, at least not anything beyond what would be expected for a trained force user. Anakin on the other hand was a 6'2 beast of a man with a metal arm and was both a powerhouse in terms of strength and was easily one of the fastest Jedi of his era Anakin also gets the duelling edge. Revan has been confirmed by Drew Karpynshyn to be an inferior duelist to Malak, who doesn't really have any impressive dueling feats. Anakin on the other hand is superior to Dooku and overall just seems to have put more effort into his martial arts training than Revan has. Plus, I don't think Revan's mix of Niman, Shien and Shii-Cho could really hold up against Anakin's brutally effective hybridised Djem So and Ataru offence The force advantage is a little trickier. While Anakin has more raw power and far more impressive TK feats, Revan has a much more well rounded arsenal of force abilities and has been shown to be more creative in implementing them into his fighting style, wheras Anakin was often a bit too straightforward in his force abilities. I'd give Revan the force edge overall Revan's biggest advantage is his tactical intelligence. If he can goad Anakin into making a mistake and then take advantage of it with his force abilities, then Revan wins. If Revan fails to do this and ends up in a straight up fight against Anakin with nowhere for him to run, Revan gets beaten into the dirt like Dooku did in ROTS So honestly, it could go either way.
