One of your more underrated VS Match. Although, the result should be a bit obvious.

[@KurtleTheTurtle907]

13:19, Ben Kenobi, too. "I felt a great disturbance in the force... As if millions of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

[@AntoineBandele]

Correct, but that's when he was much older. As a younger man he was more combat oriented, more about the now, rather than the cerebral. But this make sense. All Old Ben Kenobi could do was meditate, so these sorts of abilities would come about, just like his ability to make a perfect Krayt dragon call. Also, same seems to be the case for Ahsoka Tano in Rebels. The producers said that she has grown more spiritual over her fifteen years since the Clone Wars. A lot of time on your own, without continuous battle, seems to do that.

[@KurtleTheTurtle907]

+Antoine Bandele Well you said in the video Yoda was the only other Jedi to do this... And here we both are now, adding two more to that list ;)

[@erianle123547]

Depa Billaba is actually one of my favorite Jedi, along with Shaak Ti, Kit Fisto, Luminara Unduli, and Jocasta Nu. It would be interesting to see a short Versus video of someone like Jocasta Nu versus Tera Sinube.

[@AntoineBandele]

Jocasta Nu is an interesting favorite.

[@erianle123547]

Antoine Bandele Well perhaps, but Jocasta Nu is one of the few examples of what a non-combative Jedi might look like. Almost every other Jedi we see is fighting in a battle or discussing mission tactics. Thats great and all for a movie or TV show that needs to draw and keep your attention but I'm an active RPer and I love RPing in the Star Wars universe, Jedi like Jocasta Nu, Tera Sinube, Rachi Sitra, and Cilghal are vital to painting an accurate picture when attempting to play as a non-combative Jedi. Master Nu was a teacher, Master Sinube a criminal investigator, Sitra an archaeologist, and Cilghal a healer. Each were prominent members of the Jedi Order, two of whom sat on their respective Jedi High Councils. For the most part my favorite Jedi are based on their backstories and personality, not their combative or tactical skills and abilities. Sorry for the mini-rant, I'm enthusiastic :P PS. I love listening to your versus videos while I'm writing or working on something, they always seem to give me ideas or help me work around my RP characters' flaws, you've literally save their lives more then once.

[@Creddiam]

Ki-Adi Mundi, the Jedi that was wrong about everything. I mean they could basically put him on the council and do the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he was saying and we wouldn't have an empire basically.

[@TheDen-ec9xe]

But what about the droid attack on the Wookiees ? :(

[@vincentescolano2578]

please do luminara unduli and barriss offee vs Anakin skywalker and ahsoka tano.

[@macattackk]

Vincent Escolano Barris is about equal with Ashoka, but anakin is in adifferent league to luminara. Anakin and Ashoka win easily

[@StormStar626]

While I would agree with your statements about Ahsoka and Barris being equal and Anakin above Luminara, the big difference would be the team work. Barris and Luminara worked as a cohesive unit which is something I don't think Anakin and Ahsoka ever achieved. Other than Asajj Ventress early on Anakin and Ahsoka never fought a lightsaber duel together. I feel like the two where too independent fighters to work together as cohesively as Unduli and Offee, so I do think it would be an interesting fight with no clear winner

[@MasonNoThumbs]

Anakin by himself could take them

[@grandmasterethan8373]

[@benerdick_cumberbiatch]

[@100dfrost]

Antoine, wonderful, as always. Depa B. has always been one of my favorites. In my opinion she made Mace (also one of my favorites) appear to be human, a relate able character. A really great job. Thank-you, Dante.

[@AntoineBandele]

I completely agree with Depa making Mace a human being. He cared for her so, so much. Shatterpoint was a very emotional experience for me. It's like seeing your daughter, the one you appreciated the most ... just fall, and fall hard.

[@giorgit5252]

Great, this is the best character background review i've seen. The overall video was great too. Really nothing to complain about. It was visually very nice, it was interesting and not too long (as some do it) making it so easy to watch. I guess i can say it's my new favorite one. And good job bringing new light to this somewhat shadowy character (meaning Depa). What about KI-Adi - initially i had not much interest in him but lately i've gotten more curious about him and this video made me grow more interest in him. A good job indeed.

[@ForklifterMatt]

*Before watching video* AHHHHH, this is going to be so sweet! These are two of my favorite Prequel Era Jedi, up there with Obi-Wan, Agen Kolar, Kit Fisto, and several other notable figures. *After watching video* I like how you named a lot of the sources the pictures came from. That's really cool and is a nice touch to the presentation side of the video. One of your finest VS videos to date in terms of presentation, editing, script, and voice over. A truly "career-defining" video much like Mace Windu vs Anakin Skywalker but with lesser known combatants. All points were very well-reasoned and I'm still on the fence about the verdict but it was a phenomenal video nonetheless. Well done Antoine.

[@LeonardBillsMcGoatPryor]

Hey Antoine, I have some ideas for future Star Wars versus fights you could maybe do. How about these: Darth Maul vs. Quinlan Vos Ahsoka Tano vs. Maris Brood General Grievous vs. General Pong Krell Boba Fett vs. Captain Rex Yoda vs. Revan Darth Plagueis vs. Darth Sidious

[@banethesithari]

+The Batman Of Neo-Gotham Darth Maul vs. Quinlan Vos: It depends on which voss if its EU Voss he will lose pretty bad but dark side canon voss would stomp Maul Ahsoka Tano vs. Maris Brood: i dont think Brood has any feats aside from her fight with starkiller where she got wrecked. Ahsoka has far more feats so id say she takes it. as its hard to gauge how powerful brood is form that one fight. General Grievous vs. General Pong Krell: grievous was able to hold his own against obi wan ,kit fisto and eath koth ,krell was just some jedi master greivous wins pretty hard. Boba Fett vs. Captain Rex: Boba has far better weapons and armour even if their skill is similar Boba should stomp because of that. Yoda vs. Revan: Yoda is leagues above revan Yoda stomps Darth Plagueis vs. Darth Sidious sidious at his peak is think was stated ot be more powerful than plageuis but at the time when sidious killed him plageuis was superior

[@LeonardBillsMcGoatPryor]

+banethesithari LOL Quinlan Vos isn't a female, dude. You made a typing error.

[@tariffictypist7372]

Imagine that, instead of boring old Agen Kolar, Mace Windu, Ki'adi Mundi, with his awesome old PURPLE lightsaber, alongside Kit Fisto, and Saesae Tiin, Two purple lightsaber wielding awesome Jedi masters against Sidious, bet he would have lasted longer then Agen Kolar and Saesae Tiin. And maybe Kit Fisto.

[@TheAncientDemon]

As always very well done, I learned some things about Mundi I didnt know. Your next vs video is going to be interesting to watch, but I think Shane wins.

[@AntoineBandele]

Thanks Ancient.

[@FallenOne669]

I'd like to see Depa Billaba vs Obi-Wan Kenobi. She was a primarily offensive fighter, who had defensive skills, whereas Obi-Wan was the greatest Soresu Master of all time. Plus, neither of them used the Force in the middle of combat as much as other Jedi or Sith, instead letting it use them. I think it would be really cool to see.

[@FallenOne669]

I'm not sure. Possibly, but aside from Mace, Depa Billaba was the only person to master Vaapad, and her combination of both it and Soresu could potentially allow her to contend with Obi-Wan.

[@ob_gynkenobi4014]

@@FallenOne669 Legends Depa vs Obi Wan would have been a great duel. However, it's never acknowledged that Depa trained in Vaapad. I believe she was still trained by Windu. It's said tho that she used Form III. That's how the Grand Inquisitor knew Kanan's form and who his Master was. I'm don't believe the was trained in Vaapad. That's why I like Legends Depa way more than Canon Depa. I am not sure on this tho. The video is really confusing. He gives both Legends and Canon versions Depa. This is his only video I've had a problem with. It's really confusing honestly. If it's straight Canon,I believe Mundi takes this fight most of the time. If it's Legends, then I say Depa wins most of the time.

[@minioli01]

I dont know if it's the new format or it simply because of the new characters but I like having new synopsis for the characters.

[@AntoineBandele]

Yeah it's nice doing analysis of the non-high-profile characters. Also, I think it's a step up to include the sources I refer to throughout the video. That way folks can create their own opinion rather than saying ... well Antoine said this, or that. Rather, I would prefer if someone looked as one of the citations and said. Hmmm, I should read that comic/novel myself and see if I agree.

[@phoenixkidlordoffire9904]

It's really awesome how the intro now has kylo ren on it.

[@AntoineBandele]

Prepping for what's to come (though probably not in the near future).

[@ariesstorm9577]

A great matchup Antoine, an excellent analysis of both characters. Ki-Adi may be my favourite but I don't disagree with the outcome. I found it ironic that the Jedi Guardian won the Force abilities round while the Consular won the duelling round haha, never saw that one coming. And that blooper reel was hilarious 😂

[@AntoineBandele]

It sort of make sense for Guardian. In terms of combative Force powers, Guardians usually do have an upperhand. Consulars are often related to more esoteric Force abilities. But yes it is interesting, especially Depa's technique with her blade.

[@rubixcube460]

Can I just say that Ki-Adi Mundi looks like a smart Santa!

Hey, Antoine Bandele. This was an awesome on. I never realized how amazing Depa Billaba was. Just amazing. I must say your next match-up between Ryan Wieber and Shane Farley will be interesting, even though they're not a part of the Star Wars universe. In fact, I was thinking of another match-up I came up with not so long ago. The match up is Tyber Zann vs Han Solo. A battle between the crime lord and the smuggler.

[@hopebringer2348]

+Bob Kolterjahn Yeah, Luke would stomp Mace.

[@Redpoppy80]

+Balta Skywalker Really? I don't think so. Antoine only uses ROTJ Luke and while I think he downplays Luke as a fighter I don't think Luke has a realistic chance against Mace as hard fought a fight it would be, Luke's inexperience really matters against Mace because as soon as Luke pegs Mace, Mace changes and adapts leaving Luke guessing again, Mace is also really good at marathon fights so that critical advantage Luke needs to win wouldn't be enough. Sure if Luke survived the fight and could ponder for a while and have a rematch he would stomp Mace but that is not how these matches work.

[@hopebringer2348]

Redpoppy Ok, he wouldn't stomp Mace, but for me, his refined and calmed style, along with his Force Rage (Which is excessively powerful) would beat Mace.

[@Redpoppy80]

+Balta Skywalker Problem number 2. Antoine doesn't take the Force Rage into account in Luke's fights because it is not something ROTJ Luke can call on at will based on Legends canon and the ROTJ novel in which Luke only uses Force Rage because of specific plot elements, not something a random stranger would trigger. I agree wholeheartedly that with Force Rage Luke would beat Mace but that is a non factor. I LOVE his refined and serene style, I think Luke takes Obi-Wan's swordsmanship to levels Obi-wan never could, even ROTJ Luke. But Mace has DECADES of experience under his belt, mastery of a form HE INVENTED and 6 other fighting styles if things go sour on Mace. Vaapad is alien territory for Luke so his lack of experience means holes in Luke's defense that Mace would exploit and win. I am on your side, I think ROTJ Luke is very unappreciated even without Force Rage but I don't see how Luke beats Mace consistently.

[@AntoineBandele]

Ugh! I couldn't for the life of me.

[@kricard67]

Yeah Depa Billaba would win

[@obi-wankenobi1233]

Agree, I do.

[@ariesstorm9577]

As a certain Count once said, "I've been looking forward to this" :-)

[@AntoineBandele]

My powers have doubled since the last video I made, Darth!

[@nerdseternal1138]

+Antoine Bandele now this tine we will take him together

[@LegoJProductions]

This is my favorite versus vid that you ever made in my opinion

[@AntoineBandele]

I like this one a lot too . . . which it got a bit more play. Only thing is I don't like some of my cadences.

[@DrizztDaDrow]

Kylo Ren vs Darth Caedus. It would be really interesting to see how the canon Solo kid does against the legends Solo kid!

[@AntoineBandele]

Kylo Ren is not well defined as a combatant. We’ve only seen him in one duel, a duel which was mired in circumstance by way of plot convenience, injury and psychological turmoil.

[@kal0247]

Nicely done, like the use of these characters, haven't seen either in a vs's video before ,nice job on the switch keeping the series fresh, the blooper reel was very funny...lol: )

[@AntoineBandele]

Thanks Mark.

[@visasv.429]

I wonder if Rouge BarrissVsAayla Secura could be a thing

[@friendlysith7789]

My ears are stopped up, thank you for something to listen 2.

[@AntoineBandele]

You're welcome kind sir.

[@johnfeliciano7560]

+Antoine Bandele please please please please put these super soldier titans against each other master chief in his new Mjiolnir Mk Iv (gen II) armor vs captain america*

[@mattchamp1541]

+Antoine Bandele boba vs jango fett

[@emilmedina5273]

+Antoine Bandele if your a star wars fan join legion of the empire on kik messenger. we will talk about any star wars topic that any member brings up we can post vídeos or photos related to star wars . P.S if you dont want to join then tell your friends about it to join.

[@BeethovenIsGrumpyCat]

Regarding cannon, I personally accept both legends and cannon together. They coexist for the most part quite nicely. But, if the two clash, I'll favor legends.

[@AntoineBandele]

I'm in a similar boat but canon is base for me in the vein of being impartial.

[@patriciarodriguez1053]

thanks for the video it is nice to see someone bring those characters to light.

[@AntoineBandele]

Mmhm. They have interesting backstories.

[@patriciarodriguez1053]

Yes i agree

[@jasondoesanime1237]

You know, I think a battle between Yaddle and some one like, say, Ventress or Maul would be an awesome fight. Also, I love how you make it seem like your going to give one person the edge, and then just swing it around and logic your way into giving it to the other fighter. It's freaking cool.

[@AntoineBandele]

Yaddle's achievements are so thin.

[@jasondoesanime1237]

True, but she's always been one of my favorites in the EU.

[@eatingpancakesrightnow2786]

I remember loving this video cause it taught me what a beast Depa is!

[@talosisoursavior4015]

I love you refer to Depa Billaba as "the Mental".

[@AntoineBandele]

Originally, that was the ending of her storyline. The war broke her.

[@thmg5024]

The end of this video is fantastic, add it to all of your videos please

[@AntoineBandele]

You mean the bloopers? I don't always screw up like that 😜

[@Dubious_Kieran]

Mundi's use of a grounded form IV, supplemented with elements of form II sounds quite akin to that of Qui-Gon Jinn. That would be a Vs. that I would like to see... Please and thank you

[@AntoineBandele]

Ki-Adi-Mundi vs Qui-Gon Jinn ain't a bad thought.

[@onmyown9552]

I just finished Shatterpoint. Indeed Depa Billaba has become one of my favorites so I like the video and the verdict

[@djwon1man]

Yessssssssssssss! lol for some reason recently I was thinking about a Ki-Adi-Mundi Versus vid. I even left a comment on Evan's last video about using him. this made my night! thanks.

[@AntoineBandele]

About time these two were featured. It's not like they are sparse characters.

[@djwon1man]

Yeah lol I was surprised that no one had used them until now. Especially Ki-adi to me. He's always intrigued me cause if u just take his film appearances at face value he looks like he's #3 on the council.

[@AntoineBandele]

Agreed. It's always been my impression that at least politically speaking he was #3 on the council.

[@djwon1man]

BTW I love the style of ur videos, especially the end when u do the hypothetical battle. I like how all the guys have a different spin on the same format. Looking forward to the next one!

[@ForklifterMatt]

@16:08 Goddamnit Antoine LOL

[@AntoineBandele]

I'm not always so dry!

[@TheSunStudio1]

Love the blooper reel! Nice vid and I agree with your points.

[@AntoineBandele]

Thanks Sun.

[@TheSunStudio1]

Antoine Bandele XD! No one calls me that you know! :)

[@0mr.nonsense0]

Terrific Video right here. Only fear is that you will run out of Star wars characters to make a battle with, and thus, the versus series of star wars comming to an end :c

[@AntoineBandele]

That won't likely happen. I've barely scratched the surface of Star Wars combatants on this channel.

[@0mr.nonsense0]

Great news then. Because with you, i have remembered all i knew about star wars and learned so much more. I never knew that Ki-adi-mundi was such a badass jedi. And by the way, that pun though xD

[@NickDonalds321]

I really like the source citations. I'm not sure how long you have been doing that, but it makes the video look much more professional, and puts actually facts behind what if often viewed as assumptions in other videos.

[@NickDonalds321]

+NickDonalds actual facts behind what is often viewed as assumptions*

[@AntoineBandele]

Just started! I've been using direct sources since I start my new "seasons" but this is my first time adding them into the video itself. It feels more honest this way. It also separates what is opinion and what is fact from a source.

[@samuelmyth8392]

Not sure if I agree with this. There are quotes suggesting Mundi is up there with Yoda and Mace as one of the very best jedi in the council. I think there is quote that suggests he is the third best as of AOTC. And I would put Mundi holding his own against Grievous while exhausted and at a form disadvantage firmly above anything Depa has done.

[@AntoineBandele]

Ranking on the council has little to do with combative viability, especially the Jedi council.

[@ryandevoursney5899]

the bloopers at the end were nice

[@AntoineBandele]

It's been a while since I've had to do them.

[@Spectacular_Insanity]

I'm pretty sure Ki-Adi-Mundi died from blaster fire not because he was unskilled, but just because of the sheer numbers of troopers that were firing at him. There were literally at least a dozen. Even Obi-Wan would have had trouble deflecting that many blaster bolts all at the same time, assuming it would even be possible in the first place.

[@AntoineBandele]

“An instant later the Force had him hurtling through a storm of blasterfire as every combat droid in the control center opened up on him at once. Letting go of intention, letting go of desire, letting go of life, Obi-Wan fixed his entire attention on a thread of the Force that pulled him toward Grievous: not where Grievous was, but where Grievous would be when Obi-Wan got there... Leaping girder to girder, slashing cables on which to swing through swarms of ricocheting particle beams, blade flickering so fast it became a deflector shield that splattered blaster bolts in all directions, his presence alone became a weapon: as he spun and whirled through the control center's superstructure, the blasts of particle cannons from power droids destroyed equipment and shattered girders and unleashed a torrent of red-hot debris that crashed to the deck, crushing droids on all sides.” _Revenge of the Sith Novelization_

[@Spectacular_Insanity]

Antoine Bandele I'm not sure it's fair to compare Ki-Adi-Mundi's Form III to the best practitioner of Form III in the entire Star Wars universe. Ki-Adi-Mundi was always more offensively minded, rather than defensively minded, not dissimilar to Mace Windu in some ways. He was also admittedly not particularly dextrous or agile, which are the most important traits for Jedi attempting close-range blast deflection.

[@AntoineBandele]

You just said "even Obi-Wan would have trouble" ... I was simply rebutting.

[@sonic8005]

I am sorry, I couldn't help but stumble upon this and wanted to say this, even though this is a bit old by now.... Is it wrong that I took a third option that Ki Adi was simply so blatantly stunned by the turn of events that the shots fired at him were something he was simply unprepared for? It feels the saddest but also the most logical answer out of all the possibilities here, at least to me.

[@TheMuser1791]

I can't get over how good your videos are! They Look Amazing! and the script/audio is excellent! great video!

[@AntoineBandele]

Thanks Muse.

[@sirjedisentinel]

I've been waiting for a video on these two. They're aren't two of my favorites, but I've always been interested in them.

[@AntoineBandele]

They turned out to be quite interesting indeed.

[@BilzRowanJ]

Really enjoy watching these videos! It would be awesome to see Aayla Secura in one of these versus videos. Thanks ;)

[@AntoineBandele]

I never had much of an interest in her but yeah ... I should include her.

[@BilzRowanJ]

+Antoine Bandele Oh ok, thanks

[@DarthWill3]

Boy... You've really got this down. Love the source headers you've put in. Glad you take Depa's abilities very seriously. Imagine how she'll use them when going up against Grievous in _First Blood_ issues 3 and 4. The General would see this as preparation for his upcoming fight with Mace Windu. Sense + Abilities = _Sensibilities_ LOL "Say that fast 3 times." ROFL Nice bloopers.

[@AntoineBandele]

Thanks Will.

[@DarthWill3]

Antoine Bandele Imagine how Depa would fare against the likes of the ever-improving Asajj Ventress, or the calculating Darth Maul, or the Chosen One. Those would make good future match-ups. What do you say to that? Also, Depa wasn't Mace's _only_ Padawan. Better look up Devan For'deschel, Echuu Shen-Jon, and Darrus Jeht.

[@TFAric]

The thing is that jedi like Ki-Adi Mundi got killed of little to easy.. even if he was captured of guard we have seen jedi handle such before, so many jedi died like flies during order 66, probably because they needed to because of plot. Plo Koon got ship got shot down witch makes a bit more sense.

[@AntoineBandele]

Jedi aren't infallible. We've seen them shot down before.

[@TFAric]

Indeed, but it kinda looked a bit too easy during the order 66 scene

[@HyugaBlood881]

another great vid like always Antoine u r number 1 when it it comes to versus vids to me ^^

[@AntoineBandele]

Thanks Hyuga.

[@layzboi2250]

I'd give it to Ki Adi I believe that in regard to force sensitivity and soresu Billaba is superior but in a blade to blade fight I believe Ki Adi was much stronger simply based on the events on Hypori

[@AntoineBandele]

Ki-Adi seemed pretty strong when it came to taking blunt Force trauma, but I would not say his skill was especially strong. Depa has been presented with accolades that suggest superior skill.

[@layzboi2250]

+Antoine Bandele I'm sure she does but I haven't read shatter point or Kanan's comic so I haven't seen them but like you said neither of these characters got the screen time they deserve

[@soarinpenguinlive6372]

Interesting that you count her force sense in the Kanan comic book as something she always has at that power. I took her force sense as something that was boosted because of Kanan. He is the closest thing she would have to a son in the Jedi order. In a way she didn't sense danger she sensed he was in danger and that what triggered her ability to see the betrayal of the clones. In multiply jedi when seen that having someone you love and want to protect can boost your force ability.

[@zucchin934]

I think you should pit Darth Maul against... A random sloth! Speed versus patience, the match is unmatched! A truly unremarkable fight it would be!

[@smithblack5945]

a versus battle in ancient sith, it could be possible thanks to people making it into a functional language

[@LightingbladeShen]

Love the humor you put into these! Kudo's good sir!

[@AntoineBandele]

Heh totally unintentional in this one.

[@thepersoner1182]

This is my favorite versus from you Antoine!

[@AntoineBandele]

This is one of my favorites as well!

[@SciFifan19]

That was pretty cool. Well thought out, Antoine. And the "next time", that sounds good. A fan fight, heck a literal Fanboy Faceoff LOL.

[@AntoineBandele]

Thanks dude.

[@SciFifan19]

Antoine Bandele Totally.

[@fallenknighttyler8695]

Awesome video man, I've been wanting to see Ki Adi Mundi in a versus video, even though he lost what do you think of Obi-wan vs Hoth?

[@AntoineBandele]

Hoth's feats are too thin for my tastes.

[@fallenknighttyler8695]

Honestly I was going to ask for someone else then I realized the match up I thought of was already done. I thought of Hoth in a "off the top of my head" moment

[@fallenknighttyler8695]

How does Revan vs Bane sound?

[@khaos5085]

Depa Billada was trained by Mace Windu which Mace Windu was trained by Yoda.

[@jorgerios6163]

Ayy my girl Depa did it :D. Nice to see her in a VS video by you Antoine. Loved how you mention her condition during her fight with Mace. Everybody loves saying Mace was in crappy condition, but they cover their ears when they hear Depa's condition. Anyway nice video. Any hints for the next video?

[@AntoineBandele]

It's very true. She too went through much of the same hardship Mace did ... but for months. Granted, she did not have a lightsaber wound through the gut or half of her neck eaten out. Yeah next vid is always hinted at the end.

[@conradojavier]

it WOULD have been awesome if you do a Versus series on the Main Character of Turkish Star Wars.

[@thewanderer7307]

Is the great Antoine Bandele a wee bit rusty? That blooper reel was hilarious.

[@AntoineBandele]

So many bloopers!

[@TinyTorah]

I think most of us knew Billaba was going to win this one, but thank you for giving Mundi a fair argument; he's one of the more overlooked Jedi, but one of my favorite.

[@AntoineBandele]

Yeah Mundi is certainly overlooked, especially as potentially the #3 on the council.

[@edithume5175]

The #3? What dose that mean?

[@DarthBigMan]

With Kingdom Hearts 3 approaching, could you do kind of a dream match of Darth Vader vs Sora ? Or even better, Darth Sidious vs King Mickey !

[@AntoineBandele]

Sora is coming, though not against Vader.

[@DarthBigMan]

+Antoine Bandele Interesting!

[@user-of2zr6bc1t]

Please do embo from the Star Wars the clone wars cartoon vs jango fett.

[@lukewarren9069]

Awesomeness as always.

[@AntoineBandele]

Thanks Luke.

[@Zimzilla99]

I like the new parts of the intro.

[@AntoineBandele]

;-)

[@1303Zithox]

I understand that you want to accept both Legends and Canon continuities, but where Depa is concerned, there is the slight matter of her criminal charges of Crimes against Civilisation for her actions in the Summertime War, were she ever to emerge from her coma.. It would make taking a new student tricky.

[@lorenzlin6898]

Please do your own Vader vs Yoda/ Mace Windu vs Yoda Video ok? Because I'm not at all satisfied with the existing ones. One of these would be SO great. I love your videos, you're doing a great job.

[@AntoineBandele]

Thank you. I've thought about making a counter to Yoda vs Vader. Mace vs Yoda is already established in the lore: "With a stooped, small appearance, Yoda may not look like a warrior, but his skills with a lightsaber were unequaled." A Guide to Weapons of the Force "We've not seen Mace fight yet, and we know that he's second only to Yoda." Nick Gillard "Mace Windu's fighting abilities are second only to Yoda." George Lucas "I'm like the second baddest guy in the universe." Samuel L. Jackson "I am not [Yoda's] equal in peace or war." Mace Windu in Dark Redezvous "Though it was true that he had slowed slightly in the years that Mace Windu had known him, Yoda's skill with a lightsaber was still second to none on the council." Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter "Master Windu was also known within the Order for his unusual fighting style, one that he developed after studying the dueling styles of various lightsaber masters. His attacks consisted of relentless, unpredictable blows, like shots from an autoblaster. Master Windu himself remained perfectly balanced and centered. In the history of the Jedi Order, only two opponents ever overcame him in battle. One was Master Yoda, who some said was the Order's true master of lightsaber combat. The other was former Master Dooku, whose own fighting style was archaic, yet stunningly effective." Power of the Jedi Sourcebook

[@carlborneke8641]

Maybe the events of shatterpoint did happen, but insted of punishing Deepa for her crimes, the Jedi order insted erased her memory and coverd it all up so that they could retrain her as jedi.

[@AntoineBandele]

Revan-status
