I agree that Bastilla would more than likely win, but I do disagree with a few points. The biggest gripe I have is the perception of Barriss Offee as a bad combatant.

Loved this one bro! Well edited and written, and I love the matchup itself. Great presentation of the final verdict as well, and I agree with your conclusion.

Not as technically flashy as the likes of EvanNova or something but I think it is criminal I never encountered your channel until you had long since left it. Great video!

Is it just me, or is Niman a pretty descent style to use on the battlefield (despite all Form VI users dying during First Battle of Geonosis)? It is both practical and versatile in my opinion.

Great match up getting the laddies involved love it Keep up the good work

Good channel. Nice to see someone do some of the old republic characters instead of the same characters over and over. Theres plenty of characters to do, so doing the same over and over appears lazy. I'm a swordmaster who also teaches sword and weapon combat and I see form 1 shii-cho as a foundation re-enforcing her form 6 niman technique.

> against Bariss few days with no food or water

Interesting match up. But I don’t believe that Shan has a massive edge in the force. Ahsoka is less advanced in the force, but her practical powers in my opinion rivals Shan. But anyways, nice video and I agree with most of your points. What about K’kruhk vs Satele Shan for a video.

I agree with your conclusion. :) Do Qui Gon Jinn vs Aayla Secura please.

Depends on when you are considering Bastilla. During the events of KOTOR she was still very young, and Ahsoka would likely win fairly comfortably. As a Jedi Master Shan was obviously far more powerful, likely above Ahsoka, but the problem is that she doesn’t really have many feats at this stage in her lift, so it’s hard to assess the true extent of her capabilities. Still an interesting matchup.

4:20, OFFICIALLY (I believe in both Canon AND Legends), there is no such thing as a Grey Jedi. It's more an idea. And, as far as the Grey Jedi Code, pretty sure that's fan-made. 6:09, we ultimately don't know whether she KILLED him, or merely knocked him out. 6:13, is it in the text/dialogue somewhere in the game that explains Bastila carrying Revan over her shoulder while the ship they were in was exploding around them? Otherwise, what source are you pulling from to claim she carried him over her shoulder. 6:44, whoa whoa whoa! You think Bastila was possibly in her teens during KOTOR, but you think Ahsoka was roughly 40??? Where are you getting that Ahsoka was roughly 40 years old at the end of Rebels? Doesn't Rebels take place prior to A New Hope, which is, like 17 years after RotS. Ahsoka was still in her teens at the end of TCW, and The Clone Wars ended during RotS... so, at best Ahsoka is in her 30s, mid-30s at the oldest. Regarding the dueling round, I definitely would have Ahsoka as a superior duelist than Bastila. You're overblowing how impressive it is that Bastila managed to not die immediately against the likes of Malak and Revan. Fact is, neither Malak nor Revan were trying to kill her. Bastila's a DECENT duelist, but her forte is in The Force, not lightsaber combat. Ahsoka, on the other hand, has gone toe-to-toe with some of the best duelists of The Clone Wars era (Ventress and Grievous), and they WERE trying to kill her, and this was Ahsoka over 10 years before Rebels/pre-prime. And taking her in her prime in Rebels, she, as you mentioned and showed, took on Vader sometime between RotS and ANH (likely much closer to ANH), and she handled herself against Vader FAR more impressively than Bastila did against either Malak or Revan. 18:14, it should be noted that the Temple of the Ancients on Lehon is a dark side nexus (even thousands of years later in Path of Destruction), so, while we don't know to what degree, Bastila would have been amped while Revan, Juhani, and Jolee would have been hindered. It's still an impressive Force push/wave/repulse no matter how you look at it. Context however helps shed light on the feat to present it as... not QUITE as impressive as it seems on the surface. Regarding the Force round, while I too would give the overall edge to Bastila, I don't agree that Shan is more powerful per se. I think they're roughly comparable in POWER, but Bastila has two main and rather major advantages: 1. She has a MUCH larger array of Force abilities at her disposal. 2. She uses the Force, both offensively and defensively, far more liberally than Ahsoka does. You're mistakenly associating how powerful Bastila was in battle meditation with her overall power. Certain Jedi are prodigious and inanely skillful and/or powerful in one area of the Force, while being either rather average in other areas, or sometimes even pitiful in some. Not only that, Bastila has not shown to utilize battle meditation while in the midst of combat, so it's kind of pointless in this 1v1 context. That said, Bastila still likely has the edge over Tano due to the two reasons I gave above. Nah, I have to strongly disagree with your verdict. It seems part of your reason for why you lowball Ahsoka is because she had difficulty against Barriss Offee. Thing is, Barriss isn't as bad as you seem to think she is, and Ahsoka was disadvantaged going into that fight. Pretty sure she was down a lightsaber, and at the time, her preferred fighting style included TWO lightsabers as opposed to her one saber she used in a reverse-grip in the earlier portions of TCW. Not only that, but Barriss had the advantage of knowing her surroundings, which she used to extreme success in their fight. Given all the factors at play, it's easy to see how, had it been a much more even fight, Ahsoka would have almost certainly won, and arguably without too much trouble.

Definitely not. You can't use the fight with Bariss posing and Ventress as a proof/source. Ahsoka's powers had greatly increased from then to when she faced vader, and even after. Remember, Ahsoka was able to temporarily hold off Darth Sidious' Sith fire or whatever you want to call it. Once Ezra joined in, then pushed him back for the moment. Ahsoka almost defeated Darth Vader. You do not give her enough credit. I will say that Batila was very powerful, since she was able to contend with Revan and capture him. Ahsoka was also able to deactivate the 7th Sister's Lightsaber which was no small feat.

Tano would win . Her ataru was Anakin s improved version. On top of having yoda as an instructor. Shes a force god . And well thos was only three years of Anakin s training. But we can agree that Anakin s grueling regiment would at least double this . Bc she survived jedi hunters killing dozens of jedi masters and council members

This should be a Bastila Shan cakewalk

While I do think that there is a lot of value in looking at both opponents skills as they were learning I think it is unfair to Ashoka to note some of here weaknesses in the clone wars when she clearly got much more technical and strategic in her fighting style. Though still keeping to the form 4 ideals,

Pros and cons I agree with shen using Ataru, and niman. You did not quote any books or other material for some of this video. It sounds like you used your opinion not facts from the material.

Ahsoka wins in a good fight. Bastila was able to fight Revan for a time but I was more impressed by Ahsoka's performance against Vader. Vader couldn't defeat her decisively. I think they are close to each other in terms of force abilities. I give Bastila the slight edge for her various force abilities. Ahsoka is clearly better than Bastila in terms of fighting skill. I wasn't impressed by Bastila's fighting skill. So, I give Ahsoka the edge for her superior fighting skill. They are close to each other but I'd say Ahsoka for a slim majority.

I don’t agree with your point about Ashoka pauses at alll!!!! She doesn’t pause when fighting ventress or grieves or the mandelorians the only time she “pauses” is when she is looking for a new enemy which is why I don’t agree with this fight at all.

Creative but a bit pointless all things considered

Ahsoka slaughters. By the time of rebels the only beings who can stand to ahsoka are sidious and Vader. By this point she is powerful enough to disrupt a users kyber crystal to turn off their lightsaber or blow up the hilt killing the user. She could also subtly change ones posture and grip using the force during combat. It is said Ahsoka has grown so powerful by Rebels that she does not need a lightsaber to fight and can redirect and block lightsaber strikes with her hand. She was a prodigy even as a Padawan leading the most successful military unit in star wars the 501st and being trained personally the most gifted, powerful, and skilled Jedi to ever be born Anakin Skywalker. I would say season 7 ahsoka is powerful enough to defeat bastilla and if not atleast put a good fight and have bastilla running.

Ahsoka stand against maul and vader,Maul kill a lot of jedi,jedi knight and jedi masters,more accurate Qui Gon,you see jedi fallen order is canon and the guy don't even have a chance to point his saber in the end and Ahsoka could stand against Vader incredible well,she is a better duelist than Bastila,Bastila is very offensive but lack defense letting her more vulnerable,Ahsoka was trained by Plo Koon and Anakin,since maul would kill Bastila by playing with her. Now force powers Bastila kinda win,her stasis ability would not be enough but her force push techniques would be a bit trouble "maybe" for Ahsoka,in the end is hard to say but i think that Ahsoka would end the duel by disarming Bastila because of her lack of defense.I go even futher and say that Ahsoka would beat Malak as well on a single combat,Bastila faced dark jedis and not alone,Malak lost for a non user force.

Bastilla Shan is a known/noted Form 1 user. She’s not a niman specialist. She may have some Ataru training as well but she’s largely a Shii Cho specialist. Also, I don’t see Her as Tano’s “equal” as a duelist AT ALL. Ahsoka is WELL above her level. Anybody that can hang with and survive encounters with Darth Maul & General Grievous - both vastly superior swordmasters to Revan, or even Malak, and anybody else in that era - is going to handily outclass Bastila Shan as a swordmaster. She ISN’T a swordmaster at all. She IS a gifted duelist, but she’s not a true swordmaster. And Tano was apprenticed to the greatest swordmaster in galactic history in Vader. She’s thoroughly more skilled as duelist than Shan is. Shan is much more of a consular than the stated sentinel that she’s supposed to be…. BUT, like her husband, she’s a prodigy as a tactician and always knows what to do and when to do it. I think she could outdo Tano IF she can hold her off blade to blade. Which is a big if.

disagree entirely

Wow the constrast between force abilities is laughable, tano really is a nothing burger in term of using the force
