Bulq's "kark it, I'll just kill everyone" may have been because of Mira's death. Prior to that he was able to pass himself off as the typical serene Master and he did seem truly upset by her death so it may have catalyzed his fall to the dark side. I'd expect he was utterly furious with Ventress next time he saw her.

Did you know that Xanatos once fought Qui-Gon with two blades in The Dark Rival: his added with Obi-Wan's? Qui-Gon even saw Xanatos practice Jar'Kai in the temple. So that would play a factor in his duel with Sora Bulq. Seriously.

Another fact you should check in "The Wrath of Darth Maul" is that Maul recognized Qui-Gon's weariness on Tatooine and used it to his advantage on Naboo. It seems that Qui-Gon is always losing in the Versus Series.

I'm still eager to see a versus vid with Palpatine as one of the combatants, just because he's got to have one of the most impressive bios in the whole series.

Is it stated in the novel that Jinn put away his lightsaber before force pushing the droids specifically *to concentrate*? Because when watching the scene, it always looked to me as if he was simply certain, that his lightsaber wasn't needed anymore, because he knew the force push would disable the droids. In fact, to me this speaks more of a confidence in his abilities, both in the force and in reading the fight.

id like to read a story where gins ghost appears to vader through out the book causing him to question himself

Why does the best Jedi, Qui-Gon, lose...I mean, he's not the most powerful, but it seems like he isn't as strong as every other Jedi or Sith. I mean, Dooku is like 20 years older, but still keeps up. Why is it that Qui-Gon gets left behind?

plus malgus had a clarity and focus which enabled him to remain composed even when filled with anger (the moment he was "going to slaughter his own men if the jedi all fell; such was his rage"), he did not let emotion overwhelm him; he was able even to draw zallow in a tactical trap. that's a hell of composure and tactical ingenuity. whereas what we see of marek is immense potential, power and range (true), but a lack of control, or focus.

I wonder, because of his strong connection to the Living Force, what Qui Gon could do if pushed to the absolute edge. If he can transcend the material plain as a Force Spirit then I would not put something like lightning past his potential abilities but again IF pushed to the absolute edge.

At first... Awesome job, man. I'm really shocked, I see You're a great and big Star Wars fan, also it is a very proffesional work. I can't believe it is soooo good. :) I revere you... I respect You very much after seeing this video, such a perfectly done and your arguments are very importnant, indeed. Great video... Thank you, man, especially for the cool quotes included in this video! :) It is a very good idea to add them to a VS battle video... Also , these quotes brings back many memories from books , films and comics. :) I really aprecitate that, friend To the fight. I think that many of you forgot one thing... We should all pay attention to WHAT time of Sora Bulq's training we're according to... Well, as the video say, he became much more powerful later, he mastered Vapaad and used the Dark Side styles, combined everything... Well, I must say, IMO he was very very powerful When Qui-Gon Jinn was just a strong warrior. He was very hight in the order, but he wasn't really like 'the most powerful'. He'd take Darth Maul easly, if he were, I think! Hehe. Anyway, so I saw someone who said that Dooku defeated Sora easly, yes, he did, but Sora wasn't so powerful back then. He was Jedi and had no later knowledge of the force... And as INCREDIBLY powerful Sith (yes, he WAS) he became an equal to Quinlan Vos... IMO, Quinlan was a very powerful saber and force user... Far more powerful and better than Qui-Gon Jinn, actually. So, now you can see my point - if Sora could easly fight Quinlan as an equal, well, Qui-Gon wuld be in a big trouble, like more fuked than with duel with Darth Maul... My verdict is very clear. I agree with the creator of this video - Qui-Gon, even though he was a venerable warrior, strong and powerful Jedi (also great saberist), he couldn't take such an opponent like mastered Sora Bulq. It would be a nice, maybe even an equal fight, if Sora was still a Jedi, like when he fought Count Dooku first time with Tholme... Back then he had no special skills, just a basic knowledge and a single saber... Lol, he was worse than Qui-Gon, but still not bad. But for Sora Bulq mastered Sith version hands down, Sora FTW... Thanks.

Thank you for posting :)

Revan vs. Palpatine would be a fascinating fight to break down. Revan fought Vitiate, the most Palpatine-like being in his era, and Palpatine fought Luke, the most Revan-like being in his era. While we're at it, why not also examine Luke vs. Vitiate? These people lived some 3,900 years apart; it takes considerable analysis to draw any meaningful conclusions.

Awesome so happy you've made another vid!

"Revan was power. It was like staring into the heart of the Force." I wouldn't say he's not a juggernaut of godlike power, especially since he has experience using powers from both sides of the Force.

lol, Qui-gon's has to win one sooner or later XD.

Your videos make my day.

I know. I think for suspension-of-disbelief purposes, we're supposed to believe that Yoda thought he could aid his fellow Jedi better if he retreated, and technically he did eventually... with Luke.

Awesome video just like the others! I really like your versus series! Can you make a versus video between General Grievous and General Krell? They are one of my favorite Star Wars characters!

Love watching your vids man.

Awesome work dude !!!!!

ive noticed a remarkable rise in youre number of subs keep up the great work

love these videos

Been waiting for a new video thanks for uploading. I was wondering if you could potentially do videos with Ven Zallow or Satele Shan.

"Ultimately, Qui-Gon Jinn's death due to Ataru's lack of defensive capabilities prompted Kenobi to abandon Form IV as his dominant style, but still mastered it nonetheless." "In addition to Soresu, Kenobi would also master and incorporate elements of Shii-Cho and Niman into his fighting style..." - Wookieepedia, and both quotes are sourced. Obi-Wan didn't stop using Ataru; he simply stopped mainly using it. And it's fair to say Ob-Wan is at least familiar with Vaapad, though he doesn't know it.

It seems that Qui-Gonn, while apparently a master of saber combat, can't win

Hmm...I see much wisdom in you...you are by far on the highest levels of Star Wars Fan/Nerdom...thank you for sharing your insights and thoughts. These are great videos. I applaud your dedication, and I look forward to future projects. :) Oh...if you have the time...where does Qui-Gon stand in your books? I mean...as a Jedi and a character, rather than good fights or anything else...

I like to think that, because Sidious is so conniving, he staged his defeat at the hands of Mace Windu. What backs up my theory is the fact that he was acting weak in front of Anakin, then he unleashed his "UNLIMITED POWER!" after Anakin attacked Windu. Also, he could have very well sensed Anakin's arrival, thus giving him the idea to stage his defeat, giving him a perfect opportunity to lure Anakin into the dark side through playing the victim card.

you should do a triple threat 3 guys in a free for all.

excellent =)

And when's ur next vid comin out? I love the versus series

(Continued) "And even if Quinlan Vos couldn't find a weakness in Kenobi's style he would be able to use his more advance Force powers to over power him." What would he do, use force lightning? Need I remind you that Obi-Wan, in Ep. 2 deflected Count Dooku's force lightning, which was far more powerful than any force lightning Vos could ever do. No. Obi-Wan would win. I will concede however that it would not be an easy win.

Well that one hell of a list

Great video. I'd like to see one featuring Starkiller (protagonist from Force Unleashed II) vs someone. Maybe Anakin (pre-Vader Suit) or Darth Malgus or even Revan.

I'd love to see a versus video with sora bulq vs obi-wan.

I wonder if Sora Bulq was inspired by Miyamoto Musashi. Both favoured the use of long and short blades in combat; and both are regarded as great warriors.

Jensaarai you should make a clip about what you think the new trilogy should be about, or your thought etc on the new movies.

Qui-Gon Jinn vs A Battle Droid. Maybe he'll win there! Maybe. Kidding aside. Jinn is a good character but not a good combatant. I'd like to see you use Aylla Secura in a VS at some point. Since she was fleshed out in the Clone Wars comics pretty well.

Is there any chance you could do a versus video including Darth Traya? I have a friend that keeps talking about her but I myself know next to nothing. Would be fun to see how she compares to other force users.

On the contrary, Satele and Luke would be an interesting fight; both were the most powerful Jedi of their respective eras. Both fought against some of the most dangerous opponents of their respective eras. Direct comparison is difficult, which is why we suggest these to Jensaarai in the first place.

Can you do Obi-wan vs Darth Malgus. I think that one would be quite noteworthy with Malgus taking advantage of weak points and sheer relenteless but controlled offensive style going against Obi-wans impeccable defense.

Can you do a Versus Series video with Quinlan Vos next? He's one of my favorites

i think malgus knows the disadvantage this mask represents. he's a keen strategic mind, and if suspecting he would have a problem by someone's lightning, he would remove it, even to spare himself from the few moments between his being struck, and recovering more angry than ever. if i am not mistaken he has shown little problem fighting without it. (but seriously.. the guy was able to fight after a grenade exploded in his face, and a rocky hill side came down on his head... as you say: resilient)

And because you were the one who brought it up (albeit earlier), thinking it mattered how many lightsaber styles Vos and Kenobi knew, I should point out that while Vos only mastered Ataru, Obi-Wan mastered Ataru, Soresu, Shii-Cho, and Niman. Also, Obi-Wan was considered one of the best lightsaber duelists in the order; Vos was not.

Could you do Shaak Ti vs Quinlan Vos or Satele Shan vs Starkiller?

No " hello KZfaq!" This time? :( I like that intro, it's nice

you should do Darth Maul vs Asaj Ventress. These are my two favorite characters in the galaxy.

I'm thinking about starting my own versus series. Any tips, Jensaarai1? Was thinking Darth Malak vs Darth Vader.

Qui-Gon vs tholme Sora bulq vs Maul

Banethesithari - I also would like to see more warriors, but on the other hand, using this characters suggests that Jensaarai knows most about them and wants to show us most proffesional analysis. Plus, from his videos I learned much myself and I try to think about some duels myself - you can also try. And if it comes to new characters, I'd suggest some New Republic jedi - Corran Horn (in my opinion best swordsman,as he was unable to use telekinesis), Kam Solusar and maybe Kyp Durron.

I would say that Bulq should be called a user of Juyo not Vapaad. That mental focus defense and fluidity Windu added to it are part of what set apart Vapaad from its mother art Juyo.which is what Bulq's technique sounds like after he fell.

actually you phrased it perfectly. it is the same with yoda; one can use his connection to the force, to overcome any kind of short-comings (age, slight respiratory problems), even solely rely on the force for limited periods of time. but i also think that malgus's problem, and mask was not like plagueis'. malgus' problem was (i think) more mild. for plagueis, YES, the mask was a huge disadvantage (as proven).

I would like to see a versus video about jensaarai, he looks capable enough to kill a Jedi knight.

Oh, I know what you're referencing: "Indeed it was said that he was the only Jedi apart from his own Master, Dooku and Grand Master Yoda, who was able to fight Windu as an equal." This isn't sourced however, and what they probably meant, but didn't emphasize enough when saying he was ABLE to fight as Windu's equal, was that he was able to hold his own against Windu. And this would be most likely during sparring matches, so no one would be going all out. Still, Qui-Gon is a capable duelist.

Great job! I really enjoyed this! Kyle Katarn vs. Darth Vader.

good idea to add Force Unleashed clips from, 2 too

What tune was playing while Qui Gon's Martial Arts Training was being discussed?

Bout time Bulq won a match :P Has Mace Windu vs Darth Malgus already occured? That would be a heck of a pairing. the Raw and brutal Strength of the False Emperor coupled with decades of combat expreince, Fairly advanced Force Abilities and Cyborg enchancements vs the Natural Dueling Skill of the Vaapad Master, his own expreince and Force Abilities.

Jensaarai, are you ever planning to include Galen Marek or the Starkiller clone in any of your Versus videos?

You should do a video on Darth Vader vs. Darth Malgus

A fight that was possible but never occurred: Revan vs Kreia

Bane VS Krayt or Sidious vs Vitiate would be really fun to see.

I reckon you should do qui gon & obi wan vs Darth maul

You should do a Mace Windu vs Darth Vader or Darth Sidious

Also, how do you do a voice over? I feel so noobish asking about asking, but I'd liked to make one :/

Jensaarai1, I know Ive asked you this before but can you please make a versus video with Darth Maul in it. Please that would be great.

The only one I might argue there is Anakin vs Mace. Mace was supposedly Dooku's equal on neutral ground, and Anakin defeated him pretty handily. Offensively, Anakin and Mace are both very good, but Anakin's Djem So has much better defense, whereas Vapaad has no defense, but is a bit better as far as offense goes. Anakin wouldn't be able to use his Force powers against Mace due to Vapaad's loop ability, but Mace's Force abilities would be ineffective against Anakin's superior power. So I dunno.

I was thinking Kotor music, but I have no idea how to upload onto my slideshow.

Darth Revan vs Darth Bane, please? I'd love to hear your take on that.

Please do a grievous video soon please?

We all love Qui gon Jensaari1, we just wanna see a few ones you havent done like starkiller, palpatine, vitate, etc. now those are interesting characters like star killer vs mace windu.

I would say Asajj Ventress. Based on what we have seen she has superior force powers, even breaking the force shields of Anakin and Obi-Wan. She also has a superior form, Makashi. Starkiller also carries a standard lightsaber, but Ventress carries two cured sabers, that when connected, have different positions to create difference angles and attack ranges with each saber.

Dear Jensaarai can u make a Darth Vader vs Darh maul

Which comic did you use for the qui gon duelling the two students

lol I have played it (multiple times, I love it more than the first one tbh), and when the jedi masters said it, that was my knee-jerk reaction. I was like, "WTF so you all became jedi masters just by sitting on your ass all day?"

I know. I've been trying to not allow things to get heated in arguments online, and I have gotten better. However, when someone needlessly insults me, I snap. That's what I need to work on more. I am making progress, it's just excruciatingly slow.

Did tholm and bulq go up against dooku during the arena battle or just before obi and ani saw him on his speeder?

Yeah, and what Jedi Exile told me made me consider Obi-Wan vs. Quinlan Vos to be a lot closer of a match than I originally thought. I would say Obi-Wan has the advantage when it comes to lightsaber skill, but Quinlan would have the edge when it came to his variety of force powers. I'd definitely like to see Jensaarai do Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Quinlan Vos, but I don't think he's done a video in a while now. He may have stopped posting videos. :/

thats why i keep calm....the other guy freaks out and you can pretty much laugh at him ^^

Funny argument for Qui-Gon LOL

Btw if u do a lot of research, it is known that boba fett actually used a green saber as his first idea of attacking mac windu, so you could do boba fett and Assaj vetress, because he is known to be VERY skilled.

You should do a video on Quinlen Voz

Sora Bulq is just an animal honestly. Even among the Sith, who talk about guarding against such things.

hey bro i reckon this would be a good fight.. Ki-Adi-Mundi vs Mace Windu or Obi-wan

You should do one Darth Vader vs Darth Malgus. Or do darth maul vs darth malgus

Right. But I think Bulq was mentioned more than Vos, probably because he was the co-creater of Vaapad after all. Obviously the page talked about Mace Windu more than anyone else.

(Cont.) Personally, a man with the power to destroy an entire fleet or planet with his mind is more frightening to me than a giant space station. And Vitiate(As much as I like him more than Palpatine, your comment did raise a valid point) had the power to strip powerful force-users of their power and sanity, and yet he doesn't use it on Revan or the Jedi Knight that confronts him... (Cont.)

You should do something on Mace Windu. He seems like the most powerful Jedi since he defeated darth sidious pretty easily

if i get a vote that would be something idd like to see as well

Lord Hoth, leading General and Jedi Lord during the New Sith Wars versus Jedi General of the Clone Wars and Purge Survivor Rahm Kota. Both are generals, have high level battlefield experience and are martial artists

Indeed. I'd also like to see more of Darth Bane, Darth Zannah, Revan, Luke Skywalker, Darth Sidious, Savage Opress (even if he doesn't like the Darth Maul/Savage Opress Clone Wars episodes), etc.

Who was the original opponent you intended for Qui Gon to face?

What if Qui Gon got hold of either Bulq lightsaber? Is he then toast?

i think that toughness comes into play when a classical ataru practitioner like jinn, starts the kicks, slams & punches. ataru practitioners use the whole body as a weapon, so in that case high pain threshold and physical toughness might give bulq a slight advantage, when, and if, qui-gon drew the contest to a more physical level. a less intuitive/more cerebral guy would think twice before punching a weequai or a zabrak with his bare hands, but... well... it's qui-gon! that's why we love him! :)

Jensaarai1 can u make a Darth Vader vs Mace Windu video i think it would be a good match beacause Vader is a tank and Windu is an attacking beast with Vaapad

woudnt it be just great if they made some cart game out of this you know, every jedi/sith his own specifics on light saber, light saber fighting, force fighting, tactics, fysical strength....

How about Mace Windu vs. Darth Vader? Also, who was the original Jedi Jinn was gonna face?

well i have to agree with you on that one tiny because in revenge of the sith anakin heard palpatine say " remember if the jedi destroy me all chance of losing her will disappear" also i find it wierd that mace windu would have struck down a defensless opponent when he is supposed to be a jedi....huh i guess his greatest weakness was that he observed the darkness in others and couldn't see any light, taht is what made him a total wet blanket and it made him ignore the darkness within himself

It would be great to do Kyle Katarn versus Aurra Sing!

What source said he was a "rival" to Mace Windu's skill (with a lightsaber)?

Can you pleased a versus video with darth maul in it.
