Grievous vs Grievous

January 11th 2025, 7:46 am

Grievous

Intro

Is this another of Count Dooku’s games? I will not suffer this insult!
The greatest test of a warrior is to face himself. Let it begin!
I will deal with myself… uh… myself.

Ambient

Not all Kaleesh, but not all droid either. You disgust me.
It does not matter if you’re a clone or Sith sorcery. I will crush you!
After I finish you, I will find who is responsible for this outrage.
Is Count Dooku training a replacement for me? Speak!
I will destroy you, abomination.
You cannot hide from yourself!

First Advantage

You do not have nearly my strength or speed.
Where is the Kaleesh warrior in you?
You dare to wear the mask of my people? You will suffer for this outrage!
If you were supposed to provide a challenge, you are failing miserably.
You wield four more lightsabers than you know how to handle.
Confronting me was the last mistake you’ll ever make.

Second Advantage

You fight like a Jedi weakling.
I will cut you down to size!
You are a false warrior.
You were a fool to challenge me!
You have courage. I respect that.
I admire your tenacity, but it will only bring your death!

On Victory

Your mask is mine, impostor!
I hope you were not expecting mercy. That is the last thing you will receive!
I only take lightsabers from Jedi.

First Disadvantage

You are well-trained, whatever you are.
You fight with the ferocity of a Kaleesh warlord!
I have rarely seen such ferocity in battle.
You cannot defeat me. I know you too well!
You have great skill, but it will not save you.
Your defiance only fuels my anger!

Second Disadvantage

You are a fearsome adversary.
I will not surrender to the likes of you!
You know my every move!
You will not defeat me so easily.
Grah! Enough of this!
You overestimate your skills!

On Defeat

I am not the warrior I thought I was.
You wouldn’t kill your own kind, would you?
You were a magnificent warrior. I bow down before you.

Summary

Grievous has some self loathing tendencies to work through TCW Lightsaber Duels Lines - Page 3 1648373583

January 11th 2025, 7:55 am

Grievous

Intro

Ah, the great General Fisto. I am going to enjoy this.
Greetings, Jedi filth. Prepare to die.
Every Jedi is my enemy, and my enemies are not deserving of mercy.

Ambient

The Jedi are cowards who would rather talk than fight.
How many of your Jedi have fallen beneath my blades?
My entire body is now a weapon!
We shall see who is clever, and who is dead.
You are a long way from the ocean, Nautolan.
I am the vision in every Jedi’s darkest nightmare.

First Advantage

I do not need battle droids to kill Jedi.
I was trained in the Jedi arts by a Sith Lord!
Don’t bother to surrender. I don’t take prisoners.
The Jedi are overrated as warriors.
You can’t see it, but now I am smiling under this mask.
You are quicker with your words than with your saber.

Second Advantage

Die, Jedi dog!
You fail to impress me.
You will perish before me, Jedi slime.
You are mine.
I will gut you like a fish.
Soon you will taste death, Jedi.

On Victory

You are defeated, Fisto. Somehow I thought I’d feel more of a sense of accomplishment.
Is this the level of skill I can expect from the rest of the Jedi Council? This will be a very short war.
Where are your insults now, Jedi scum?

First Disadvantage

This defiance will only make your inevitable death more painful.
You won’t be smiling much longer, Jedi scum.
I do not suffer insults from Jedi scum.
Keep joking, Jedi fool, but I will have the last laugh.
You are fragile and weak, like all Jedi.
Lower your guard for an instant, and you’re dead.

Second Disadvantage

Gah! You should be dead by now!
I will take good care of your lightsaber.
Your efforts are futile, Jedi.
You cannot afford a single mistake, Nautolan.
I will slice you into chum.
Playtime is over, Jedi. Now you will die!

On Defeat

Bah! The biggest joke is that the Jedi think they can win this war!
You may reclaim these lightsabers, Jedi, but I have more. Many more. Laughing and coughing
Better warriors than you have tried to keep me prisoner. They failed.

Kit Fisto

Intro

Your reign of terror ends now, Grievous!
You’ve killed your last Jedi, you mechanical horror.
You’re at the wrong place at the wrong time, Grievous.

Ambient

I can see that subtlety isn’t one of your strengths.
You’re still here? Perhaps you are not a coward after all!
It seems you’ve been whittled down to nothing, General.
When they put you back together, I think they forgot the brain.
Just because the Jedi are peacekeepers, doesn’t mean we don’t know how to fight.
We all take risks. Some less than others.

First Advantage

If you showed half the guts on the battlefield as I can see in your chest, you’d be winning this war!
So, you’re Dooku’s science project. I thought I’d be more impressed.
You won’t be going anywhere after I cut off your arms and legs.
So many lightsabers, so little ability to wield them.
You’re barely treading water against me!
The Jedi will crash like a wave on your armies and sweep them away.

Second Advantage

You have all the finesse of a utility droid.
Look sharp, iron-sides!
With so many sabers, how do you keep missing?
I will take your lightsabers back to the Jedi Temple.
Only a droid would follow you into battle.
Temper, temper.

On Victory

You’re finished, Grievous. The galaxy has suffered enough at your hands.
Those stolen lightsabers have struck down their last Jedi, Grievous.
You should have known better than to face a Jedi Master, Grievous.

First Disadvantage

How far you have fallen since the days when you were a proud warrior.
I warn you, General. Surrender now, or face the consequences.
You’re not a warrior. You’re a tool of the Sith!
What kind of general commands an army of droids?
A true warrior fights for something greater than himself.
You’re not the worst swordsman I’ve ever faced.

Second Disadvantage

Greed is not the way of a true warrior.
This lightsaber stays with me, Grievous!
You have to be quicker!
The other three sabers only get in your way!
You can surrender any time, General.
Your skills are rustier than your chassis!

On Defeat

The Jedi will never stop hunting you, Grievous. No matter how far you run, or how deeply you hide.
My lightsaber is not a trophy, Grievous. It’s a reminder that the Jedi will stop you.
I will never betray the Republic or the Jedi Order. Not like your master, Count Dooku.

Summary

Grievous apparently has enough of a face left to smile under the mask. As in the TCW episode where they duel, a note is made about Grievous’s as-yet unfulfilled desire to defeat a Jedi Master in combat. Grievous’s potential advantage is attributed to his warrior heritage and his training by Count Dooku. Kit Fisto’s potential advantage is attributed to Grievous’s lack of finesse and impulsivity.

Intro

General Windu. It will be a pleasure to kill such an esteemed Jedi.
Ah, General Windu. Your death will be a warning to all Jedi who dare oppose me.
It will be an honor to add your lightsaber to my collection, General.

Ambient

I’ve lost count of how many of your Jedi I have killed.
I enjoy the sound of a lightsaber cutting through flesh.
You Jedi don’t have the stomach for war. That is why you will lose.
The Jedi allowed my people to be slaughtered for generations. I will avenge Kalee!
I am a hunter, and Jedi are my favorite prey.
The Republic loses allies by the day.

First Advantage

Your purple blade will add variety to my collection.
Surrender now, and I promise your death will be swift.
I am a hero of two wars, Jedi. The first for my homeworld, the second for the galaxy.
The Republic will die with you, General Windu!
I do not envy the agony you will soon endure.
I am not some mere bounty hunter, Jedi. I am a warlord of Kalee!

Second Advantage

You’ve drawn your last breath, Jedi.
My blades will find their mark!
Say goodbye, Jedi fool.
Facing me is a fatal mistake.
All I see is another Jedi I want to kill.
Temper, temper, Jedi!

On Victory

I look forward to defeating the rest of the Jedi Council members!
So much for the great Jedi Master Windu! Laughing
Your lightsaber is mine, Jedi. I will put it to good use.

Underestimate me at your own risk, Jedi.
The stories do not do your skills justice, General Windu.

I have sent countless Jedi to join with the Force.
At last, a Jedi with strength!
Few Jedi have lasted this long against me.
I am done playing with you.
Your boasts ring hollow, Jedi.

On Defeat

You were the only true Jedi warrior I have faced.
It seems I have misjudged you, General, but never again.

Mace Windu

Intro

I will rid the galaxy of you once and for all, Grievous.
Your reputation for cowardice precedes you, General.
You will answer for your crimes, Grievous.

Ambient

Brute force is no match for skill.
You won’t escape us this time, General.
What do I have to fear from a broken-down droid?
The Jedi were not to blame for your homeworld’s troubles.
The Republic will be restored.
A galaxy ruled by greed cannot stand.

First Advantage

You are a warrior without honor, Grievous.
There are only two ways this fight will end, Grievous… with you dead, or my prisoner. It’s your choice.
Give me one reason why I should show mercy to the Butcher of Hypori.
Your machine body has made you overconfident.
There is no escape, Grievous. You will have to stay and finish this fight.
Four lightsabers aren’t enough to stop me, Grievous.

Second Advantage

We’re not finished here, Grievous!
Too late to crawl back into your hole, Grievous.
How does it feel to live in fear?
You’re outmatched this time, Grievous.
Your fate is sealed, General.
Maybe with eight lightsabers you’d stand a chance.

On Victory

The war is over for you, Grievous.
After I cut you out of that droid chassis, you’re gonna spend the rest of this war in a jar.
Don’t worry, your master will soon join you in defeat.

First Disadvantage

This fight doesn’t end until you’re in my custody!
You’re not a warrior, Grievous! You’re a butcher.
This isn’t your fight, Grievous. You’re just another pawn of the Sith.
There is no hole in the galaxy deep enough for you to hide from us, Grievous.
I wouldn’t celebrate your victory just yet, General.
You put on a good show, Grievous, but you’re little more than sound and fury.

Second Disadvantage

The only way you’ll take my lightsaber is blade first.
You have more skill than most droids.

(repeated 2x)
You presume too much, Grievous.
You are little more than Dooku’s puppet.
Too many innocents have died at your hand.

On Defeat

I will reclaim my lightsaber, Grievous, and those of all my fallen Jedi brothers.
This victory will be your last, General.
The Jedi will end this war, and you along with it.

Summary

Grievous especially wants to prove himself against Mace Windu, due to Mace Windu’s reputation as one of the greatest Jedi warriors. Mace is motivated to avenge those Grievous has slain. Grievous’s potential advantage is attributed to his overwhelming fighting style. Mace’s potential advantage is attributed to his emphasis of skill over brute force.

January 11th 2025, 8:07 am

Grievous

Intro

Ah, the Negotiator. Today your words will only bring you to an early death.
General Kenobi. I will enjoy making you suffer.
Your death will not be swift, General Kenobi, and it will be far from painless.

Ambient

Your screams of agony will be music to my ears.
I will carve a path through the Jedi from the Outer Rim to the very door of your Temple.
Negotiation is the coward’s way.
I’m pleased you survived the war long enough for me to kill you personally.
Night is falling on the Republic.
You have insulted me for the last time, Kenobi.

First Advantage

Killing Jedi has proven to be easier than I anticipated.
I don’t need Jedi senses to see the fear in your eyes, Kenobi.
Soon, you will beg me for death.
Swing that lightsaber, Kenobi, or you’re finished!
Your lightsaber will be the centerpiece of my collection!
You have yet to impress me, Kenobi.

Second Advantage

Goodbye, Jedi.
I don’t take prisoners, only lightsabers.
Your frail body will soon break.
I am an engine of death!
I despise you above all Jedi, Kenobi.
I will enjoy watching the light in your eyes flicker and die.

On Victory

Come! Negotiate for your life, Kenobi. Laughing, coughing
I have a lesson for you, Kenobi. If you are going to fight, then fight. Don’t talk!
This day has seen the end of the great General Kenobi!

First Disadvantage

I’ve had enough sport with you, Kenobi.
Grah! You talk too much!
Most Jedi aren’t so cheerful about meeting their end.
Fool! You fight for a dying Republic.
The Jedi are cowards who hide behind sorcery.
You’re not as clever as you think you are, Kenobi.

Second Disadvantage

I submit to no one!
I am not afraid of you, Jedi!
Your death will be an epic of pain!
I will make you suffer beyond your wildest fears.
If this was too easy, it wouldn’t be any fun.
Not so fast, Kenobi.

On Defeat

You win, Jedi, but my armies will not stop until Coruscant is a smoking ruin.
Finish me, Kenobi. Do not make me spend my remaining years in trials and detention blocks.
Your treachery has saved you this time, Kenobi.\

Obi-Wan

Intro

Why don’t you surrender now, General, and save us both the trouble?
General Grievous. It’s time I cut you down to size.
You should know better than to challenge a fully-trained Jedi.

Ambient

I’d have that cough looked at if I were you.
Your villainy knows no bounds, Grievous.
Finally decided to come out of hiding, have you?
Those lightsabers are stolen property! I will take them back.
What is it like to face an armed opponent for a change?
For Dooku’s attack dog, you’re all bark and no bite!

First Advantage

Are you prepared to negotiate your surrender, General?
Perhaps you should learn how to use one lightsaber before attempting to wield four.
You’re as clumsy and random as a blaster, Grievous.
I’d start looking for an escape route if I were you.
Blind thrashing is no substitute for proper training, Grievous.
You won’t be adding my lightsaber to your collection, General.

Second Advantage

There’s nowhere to run, General.
Careful, don’t cut yourself!
The Force is my ally.
I’d say it’s time to retreat.
You’ve taken your last trophy, Grievous.
You haven’t exactly impressed me so far.

On Victory

The time for negotiation is past, Grievous. You are my prisoner.
You’ll need more than size and strength to defeat a Jedi.
Your brutal campaign is at an end, Grievous.

First Disadvantage

You’ll find I’m not so easily intimidated, General.
You put up a bit more of a fight than your droids.
You have speed and power, but not finesse.
Perhaps four swords are better than one…
One Jedi is worth a thousand of your droids.
Your master couldn’t finish me, and neither will you!

Second Disadvantage

Dooku should keep you on a shorter leash.
Let’s talk.
Not bad, for a droid.
Last chance to negotiate, Grievous.
Perhaps I’ve misjudged your skills.
You haven’t beaten me yet, Grievous!

On Defeat

You serve your master well, Grievous.
Enjoy your victory while you can, Grievous.
I am defeated, but the Jedi and the Republic will not fall, Grievous!

Summary

Grievous holds a particular hatred for Obi-Wan, due to personal annoyance. If he is to defeat Kenobi, his would be the ultimate lightsaber in his display. Grievous’s potential advantage is attributed to his speed and strength. Obi-Wan’s potential victory is attributed to his finesse and training.

January 11th 2025, 8:14 am

Grievous

Intro

General Plo! Your reputation precedes you.
I have never killed a Kel Dorian before, General Plo, but I enjoy new experiences.
This will be the final duel of your life, Jedi scum.

Ambient

The Force is a tool for weaklings!
The Republic is only as strong as its weakest member.
The Jedi are the sworn enemies of my people.
I am killing Jedi faster than you can replace them.
Why build a lightsaber when I can just take one from a dead Jedi?
Before the end, I will rip off that mask and watch you suffocate!

First Advantage

I can never have too many lightsabers from Jedi Masters.
My skills are greater than yours, Jedi fool.
Tell me, which of my blades should strike you down? I will oblige you.
I thought Jedi Council members were supposed to be powerful warriors.
Only one of us will walk away from this fight, Jedi.
You never should have left the comfort of your seat in the Jedi Council chamber.

Second Advantage

I am the face of death, Jedi.
You Jedi are pompous fools!
I will avenge the Kaleesh!
Your name will be forgotten to history.
The Jedi have forgotten what it is to face a true enemy.
Vengeance is strength, Jedi.

On Victory

Another illustrious Jedi falls before my blades!
My lightsaber collection grows larger by the day.
Perhaps you’d stand a chance if you sent the entire Jedi Council after me! Laughs

First Disadvantage

Your flesh will fail you, Jedi, and when it does, I will finish you.
The Jedi don’t have the killer instinct it takes to win a war.
If you wish to know the Force better, I will gladly join you with it.
Not bad for someone of your old age, General Plo.
You Jedi are weak. I will kill a thousand innocents to slay a single enemy!
Grah! I will show you the true nature of fear.

Second Disadvantage

You can’t defeat me, Jedi scum.
You don’t have the strength to finish me.
I would not presume victory just yet, Jedi.
You Jedi mistake foolishness for courage.
Blink and you die, Jedi.
Facing me was your first and last mistake.

On Defeat

I spit on your mercy, Jedi scum.
You Jedi fool yourselves if you think you can win this war.
You prevailed today, Jedi, but your death will come, and you will see my face before the end.

Plo Koon

Intro

This is the beginning of your end, Grievous.
You have eluded us for too long, Grievous. This time, you will not escape.
This is the moment I have been waiting for, and the one you have been dreading.

Ambient

You shall stand trial for your crimes, Grievous.
You are a coward, and a murderer.
Every lightsaber has a story, Grievous. Mine will include your long overdue defeat.
I have never faced a more wretched, devious foe.
You Separatists are all the same. You prey on the weak, and hide from the powerful.
I do not feel fear, Grievous. But soon, you will.

First Advantage

You fight with reckless hate, Grievous.
Both you and your master will fall beneath my blade!
You underestimate the power of the Jedi, Grievous.
I am no reckless Padawan, Grievous. You are facing a Jedi Master.
Your blades are nothing but a random whirl. My saber will strike home.
You are strong and fast, Grievous, but you are no Jedi!

Second Advantage

Your aggression blinds you.
You will collect no more blood trophies!
I will put an end to your villainy.
You cannot escape me, Grievous.
Your bodyguards aren’t here to save you this time!
What will Dooku do without his favorite General?

On Victory

You are beaten, Grievous. Soon, your armies will join you in defeat.
At last! The Butcher of Hypori will face justice.
You will plague the galaxy no more, Grievous.

First Disadvantage

Let Dooku do his own dirty work!
The only weapon I require is the Force.
You no longer serve a greater purpose, Grievous. Now you fight only for greed.
It takes more than bluster to defeat a Jedi.
You may frighten children, Grievous, but not me.
Even my mask cannot filter the stench of death that hangs about you.

Second Disadvantage

Your overconfidence will be your downfall, General.
Four lightsabers is not advantage enough in this contest!
I see the fear in your eyes.
Before this war is over, you will fall!
You have surprising skill, General.
I will not fall without a fight!

On Defeat

You may take my lightsaber, but not my resolve to see you brought to justice!
A Jedi can be defeated, but never destroyed, for our deaths only strengthen the Living Force.
I am but one Jedi of thousands, Grievous. Another will follow, and you will meet your fate.

Summary

Grievous wants to kill Plo to get the lightsaber of a renowned Jedi Master. Hypori is once again referenced. Grievous’s potential advantage is attributed to his strength and speed. Plo’s potential advantage is attributed to his level headedness and precision.

January 11th 2025, 8:22 am

Kit Fisto

Intro

Kit Fisto! This is going to be fun.
Fisto vs Fisto… tough call!
Is this another one of Obi-Wan’s jokes?

Ambient

What would the Jedi Council make of this?
The Force works in mysterious ways.
Is this really necessary?
I’m confused… which one of us is the impostor?
Why don’t we call it even and go to Dexter’s?
It’s like fighting a reflection in a glassy pool!

First Advantage

If it’s any consolation, you are giving me a good workout.
Fly like a Nebray, strike like an Acklay!
I’m good, but you need to brush up on your saber skills.
I was hoping I’d be more of a challenge!
Shape up, Fisto! I know you have better defense than that.
There’s still room to refine your abilities!

Second Advantage

You’re cooked, my friend.
This is a unique challenge.
Your defenses aren’t up to my usual standards!
Yield now, or you might get hurt!
You’re embarrassing the both of us!
I have mixed feelings about this.

On Victory

I wish I could say I was a tougher opponent!
There is only one Master Fisto.
Well fought, Master! I’ve learned a great deal from your mistakes.

First Disadvantage

Now I know how all those poor battle droids felt!
If I lose, I’ll never forgive myself!
I feel like a youngling on the first day of lightsaber training!
I seem to be in the doldrums.
Your lightsaber skills are exceptional!
You should know how quickly I can turn this fight around!

Second Disadvantage

Your technique is flawless, as usual.
This isn’t funny!
You are poetry in motion, Fisto.
That’s odd. I should be winning this fight!
You’re being too hard on yourself!
What are you smiling about?

On Defeat

You are truly the mightiest swordsman in the Jedi Order, Master Fisto.
Impressive! If I can’t defeat me, no one can.
I’m not laughing.

Summary

Kit Fisto seems more amicable with his doppelganger than most others. He wonders if it might be a trick from Obi-Wan. He jokes a few times about being the most skilled swordsman in the Order.

January 11th 2025, 8:28 am

Kit Fisto

Intro

Master Windu. I hope you’re ready for a humbling experience.
Greetings, Master Windu! I was beginning to think you were avoiding my challenge.
If you’re expecting an easy victory, prepare to be disappointed.

Ambient

I would see you smile just once before I join the Living Force.
Yours is a strong voice on the Jedi Council, Master Windu.
I think Anakin will surprise you, Master. I’ve never seen such a dedicated Jedi.
I know you have a sense of humor, and I’m determined to find it.
The future is as murky as a storm tossed sea.
I wouldn’t be so confident, Master Windu. The outcome of this bout is not a foregone conclusion.

First Advantage

If I win this bout, you have to smile.
I may be new to the Jedi Council, but I’m well acquainted with the lightsaber.
You should spend less time admiring my technique and more time defending yourself.
I think convincing everyone you’re the best swordsman was the greatest Jedi mind trick of all!
Don’t misinterpret my smile. I take my training very seriously.
I thought your defenses were supposed to be impenetrable.

Second Advantage

I recognize that scowl!
Your reputation is in danger, Master Windu.
I am relentless, like breakers on the shore!
Where are the legendary Windu defenses?
You may yield, but where’s the fun in that?
It’s not looking good for the champion!

On Victory

Looks like I’ve broken your winning streak, Master Windu!
If defeating Master Windu in single combat isn’t worth a smile, then I don’t know what is!
I am honored to be one of the small number of Jedi who have bested you in combat, Master Windu.

First Disadvantage

My defensive forms are rusty. Too much time carving up battle droids.
Okay, I think I have given you enough of an advantage.
Smile, Master Windu! These are dark times, but we can’t let that darkness become a part of us.
I can count on my tentacles the number of times I have beaten you.
Dooku was lucky he faced Kenobi and Skywalker instead of you.
Either my skills have stayed the same, or yours are improving!

Second Disadvantage

This is where the tide turns!
I pity the Sith Lord who faces you.
Your skills are as sharp as ever.
Not so fast, Master Windu!
I have fought my way out of worse scrapes than this!
Is that all you’ve got?

On Defeat

I want a rematch, on my terms! That means underwater.
You just defeated a member of the Jedi Council, Master Windu. It’s okay to smile.
Your skills are unrivaled, Master Windu.

Mace Windu

Intro

I look forward to a challenging bout, Master Fisto.
We can’t afford to let our training lapse, Master Fisto. On your guard.
We must push ourselves to our limits. There are Sith Lords to destroy.

Ambient

You are a welcome addition to the Jedi Council, Master Fisto.
This war has made soldiers of us all.
The Jedi are stretched thin across the galaxy.
You are fortunate to find things to smile about in these dark times.
Even when we disagree in Council, I respect your views.

(repeated 2x)

First Advantage

You couldn’t defeat me as a Padawan, and you won’t defeat me as a Master either.
Keep your thoughts in this bout if you want to defeat me.
You fought well on Geonosis. I would stand at your side in any battle.
If you think my technique is aggressive, wait ‘till you face a Sith Lord.
Judging from your performance, I’d say we scheduled this training bout just in time.
I enjoy a good workout! I’m waiting for you to give me one.

Second Advantage

I’ve seen you fight better than this.

(repeated 2x)
Nothing personal, but I don’t like to lose.
I expect better from a member of the Council
Brush those tentacles out of your eyes and fight!
I don’t need to boast. My record speaks for itself.

On Victory

Don’t be so hard on yourself, Master Fisto. The match did take longer than I expected.
There is no shame in losing to me, Master Fisto.
It seems only Master Yoda can provide me with a sufficient challenge.

First Disadvantage

So, this is what losing feels like. Interesting sensation.
I’ve never seen a Nautolan move with such grace out of the water.
Your forms flow with great artistry.
Your technique is both precise and unpredictable.
You must be improving, because my skills have never been sharper.
Your underwater training has given you great speed.

Second Disadvantage

You won’t defeat me so easily.
I’d forgotten how skilled you are.
Keep the pressure on.
I should know better than to underestimate you.
We’re not done here, Fisto.
You know how to handle a lightsaber.

On Defeat

Congratulations, Master Fisto. We’re not keeping score, are we?
Well fought, Master Fisto. The Jedi Council is fortunate to have someone with your wisdom and skill as a member.
You are a master with the blade. It was a pleasure to spar with you.

Summary

Mace Windu and Kit Fisto have been sparring against each other for a long time, since Fisto was a Padawan. Kit Fisto has beaten Windu before, but rarely – making him one of the very few to have accomplished this. He typically provides at least a challenging bout though. Kit seeks some validation from Mace. Kit’s potential advantage is attributed to his speed. Mace’s potential advantage is attributed to his aggressive form and his tenacity.

January 11th 2025, 8:35 am

Kit Fisto

Intro

Here we go again!
I like you, Obi-Wan. So why not save yourself the humiliation and yield now?
Back for more, old friend?

Ambient

Don’t worry… I’m sure you’ll be granted a seat on the Jedi Council. Eventually.
All I see is the Padawan I used to vanquish on a regular basis.
Remember that time I saved you from certain death on Geonosis? What would you do without me?
Perhaps this will be your lucky day! Not likely, but perhaps.
The outcome of this match isn’t in doubt, Obi-Wan.
You haven’t changed a bit, Kenobi! Still the same deluded youngling who thinks he can beat me.

First Advantage

Oh, I’m sorry. Have we started yet?
Not so much fun to be on the receiving end, is it?
I think you’d better replace the power-cells in your lightsaber.
You are about to learn a very hard lesson, Kenobi.
Fisto wipes the floor with Kenobi… just like old times.
Don’t give up, Obi-Wan. Sooner or later, you’re bound to get lucky.

Second Advantage

Blink and you’ll miss it!
A poor Jedi blames his lightsaber.
Your skills seem to have stagnated.
I’ve rarely seen a worse performance!
Predictable as always, Obi-Wan.
Any famous last words, Kenobi?

On Victory

Good thing we’re not keeping score, because this… would be getting embarrassing.
You really should try winning a bout once in a while. For a change of pace.
You can’t win them all, Obi-Wan… or, in your case, any of them.

First Disadvantage

I was just testing you, Obi-Wan. Now the real fight begins!
Too bad your lightsaber isn’t as sharp as your wit.
It’s bad manners to defeat a member of the Jedi Council.
If you keep fighting like this, you might stand a chance against Master Windu!
I see you learned a thing or two from young Skywalker.
This isn’t going quite the way I hoped…

Second Disadvantage

I have a bad feeling about this.
You’ll find I’m full of surprises, old friend.
I will never give up! I will never surrender!
Notice how I’m not giving up?
You are one determined Jedi.
Your persistence is paying off!

On Defeat

Thank you for another invigorating bout, my old friend.
Next time, we do this underwater. See how well you do then!
Good fight, Kenobi. I still think you cheated somehow.

Obi-Wan

Intro

I do enjoy our bouts, Master Fisto. It has been far too long.
Are you prepared to receive another humbling lesson in the art of lightsaber combat?
Do try to make this worth the effort, Kit.

Ambient

You are the only person I’ve ever seen make Master Windu smile.
I shall try not to humiliate you completely, Master.
Loser buys the Jawa Juice at Dexter’s.
Apparently, they'll let just anyone join the Jedi Council these days.
You do remember how to use a lightsaber, don’t you?
I’d offer to fight you blindfolded… but I don’t think it would help.

First Advantage

You’re fighting rather poorly today, wouldn’t you agree?
Fair warning: I’m about to humble you with a dazzling display of swordsmanship.
Oh, I’m sorry. Did you want me to go easy on you?
Why the sour face? I should think you’ve grown used to the bitter taste of defeat.
In my experience, there’s no such thing as luck. Only skill.
Do I have your permission to thrash you soundly?

Second Advantage

Haha! Nice try, Kit.
I do enjoy a good trouncing.
Had enough, old boy?
Are you even trying, Kit?
I sense victory.
The inevitable is at hand.

On Victory

Perhaps you’ll fare better next time, Master Fisto.
Just because I’ve defeated you utterly doesn’t mean I don’t respect you.
Another crushing victory. Why do you bother, Kit?

First Disadvantage

We’re not keeping score, are we?
You’re enjoying this too much, I think.
You do know that I’m building up your hopes so that I can crush them?
That is what winning feels like, Kit. Now I shall reacquaint you with losing.
My, somebody’s been doing their exercises.
Never let it be said that Kit Fisto is a poor swordsman.

Second Disadvantage

This match doesn’t count, right?
That smile is premature, old friend.
Time to turn this around!
I don’t like the looks of this.
You have me at a disadvantage.
You haven’t won yet, old friend!

On Defeat

Defeated by Kit Fisto? My shame is worthy of the Jedi archives!
You’ve achieved the impossible, Kit. Do not get used to it.
I can’t win every time, can I? Only most of the time.

Summary

Kit and Obi-Wan have conflicting accounts of their past track records against the other. Kit maintains that he has beaten Obi-Wan every time, while Obi-Wan suggests that he’s beaten Kit for the majority. The implication seems to be that it’s an inside joke between the two, and it’s probably close to even. Kit pokes light fun at Kenobi for not yet being a Councilor (an event that’s soon to come to pass). Kit’s potential advantage is attributed to Obi-Wan’s predictability. Obi-Wan’s potential advantage is attributed to new tactics he’s picked up from Anakin.

Kit Fisto

Intro

Koh-to-yah, Master Plo. I have been waiting for this opportunity to prove myself.
It will be my honor to defeat you, Master Plo.
Greetings, Master Plo! My saber is ready if yours is.

Ambient

Since when are you so talkative, Master Plo?
The Jedi are in dangerous waters, Master Plo.
It seems neither of us is in his natural environment.
You want to know the secret of my good humor, don’t you?
Your wisdom is an inspiration to all Jedi.
If I beat you, can we switch chairs in the Council chamber?

First Advantage

I admire your composure in the midst of battle.
Keep trying, Master Plo. You might find a way to turn this around!
I may not have your experience, but I make up for it with speed!
We must be steadfast in our training until the Sith menace is ended.
I know what you’re thinking. “Fisto’s a little tougher than I expected!”
Dooku is wise to hide from the Jedi. He doesn’t stand a chance against either of us.

Second Advantage

You didn’t think I’d make it easy for you, did you?
Prepare yourself for defeat, Master Plo.
Shouldn’t you be beating me?
Try to keep up, Master Plo!
Your chances of victory are sinking!
Looks like the Jedi Council picked the right Nautolan.

On Victory

Mi-ku-toh, Master Plo! Better luck next time.
Defeating you was no small challenge, Master Plo.
We both knew this outcome was inevitable, Master Plo. But I appreciate the effort.

First Disadvantage

Every time I think my saber skills are improving, yours get that much better.
You are endlessly inventive with the blade, Master Plo.
Things are starting to get interesting.
Your command of distance is impressive.
You fight with the finesse of Master Yoda.
You won’t kick me off the Jedi Council if I lose, will you?

Second Disadvantage

Your skills never cease to amaze.
You haven’t beaten me yet!
Age hasn’t dulled your skills in the slightest.
You’re good, Master Plo. Very good.
You’re a better swordsman than I remember.
I may look down, but never count Fisto out!

On Defeat

It is always an education to cross sabers with you, Master Plo.
Mi-ku-toh, Master Plo. I learn from my victories, but I learn more from my defeats.
Don’t expect to prevail in the rematch, Master Plo.

Plo Koon

Intro

You must enjoy the impossible if you think you can defeat me, young Master Fisto.
Koh-to-yah, Master Fisto. I shall teach you a lesson about swordplay: one you will not soon forget.
You possess great humility indeed, Master Fisto, since you are willing to endure another defeat at my hands.

Ambient

This war may be a plot by the Sith to take over the Republic itself.
You distinguished yourself at the Battle of Geonosis.
The Jedi Council is fortunate to have you as a member.
You have wisdom beyond your years, Master Fisto.
The Sith will stop at nothing to destroy the Jedi.
Your sense of humor is a welcome respite in these dark times.

First Advantage

In battle, a wise Jedi does not oppose strength or yield completely.
Don’t get your tentacles in a twist, Master Fisto.
Be impulsive in saber combat! Mechanical repetition of forms will be your undoing.
Keep your attacks simple. Flourishes leave you vulnerable.
The first order of lightsaber combat is defense, Master Fisto. You seem to have forgotten.
This is too easy. It is possible the Council made a mistake in elevating you?

Second Advantage

Discipline, Master Fisto.
You neglect your defenses.
Do not let your station go to your head.
Remember, Nautolan, there is always a bigger fish.
Victory is a result of concentration, not desire.
My saber is ready. Is yours?

On Victory

Mi-ku-toh, Master Fisto. Perhaps you’ll fare better on our next bout.
It appears your best wasn’t good enough this time, Master Fisto.
Don’t take your loss to heart, Master Fisto. Someone has to be the best.

First Disadvantage

You still have some work ahead of you, Master Fisto.
Now is not the time to lower your guard!
You are easy to underestimate, Master Fisto.
I see no reason to smile just yet, young Master Fisto.
You have remarkable blade control!
I sometimes forget that you are no longer a mere student.

Second Disadvantage

You have always been a natural with the blade.
Do not celebrate your victory prematurely.
The outcome of this duel is still very much in doubt.
Do not overthink your attacks.
You strike with fluidity and precision.
Let the Force guide your actions.

On Defeat

I look forward to the day when we once again sharpen our skills against each other instead of in the crucible of war.
Mi-ku-toh, Master Fisto. There can be no doubt that you are one of the Order’s finest Jedi.
Congratulations, Master Fisto! But fear not, I will not allow you to become accustomed to victory.

Summary

Seemingly, Plo Koon had once been Kit Fisto’s lightsaber instructor, and they have sparred often over the years. Plo has had numerous victories against Kit Fisto, but it is implied that Kit has not yet managed to defeat Plo before this duel. Kit is still somewhat infirm about his position on the Council, and makes a few references to Plo’s position of greater authority. Plo continues to give Kit advice on how to duel more effectively. Kit’s potential advantage is attributed to his speed and fluidity. Plo’s potential advantage is attributed to his experience and creativity.

January 11th 2025, 8:48 am

Mace Windu

Intro

Finally, a challenge.
At last, an adversary close to my own level.
This is a troubling development.

Ambient

Irresistible force, meet unstoppable object.
How do you defeat the best swordsman on the Council?
It’s like the Trials all over again.
I’ve been from one end of the galaxy to the other, but I’ve never seen anything like this.
This better not be one of Master Fisto’s jokes…
If you are truly me, then this fight should end in stalemate.

First Advantage

You can mimic my moves, but not my spirit.
Make no mistake, I will strike you down.
Sorry to disappoint you, but you can’t win this fight.
It’s a pleasure to face such a skilled opponent.
Few Jedi have stood so long against me. Well done.
When I see an opening, I will not hesitate to strike.

Second Advantage

Not even you can defeat me.
You fight like a Padawan.
This shouldn’t be so easy.
You’re fighting a losing battle.
I admire your persistence.
You should know better than to continue this.

On Victory

You were a powerful opponent, but only one of us could win.
I will uncover the truth of this strange encounter.
I expected more from you. Much more.

First Disadvantage

I don’t need you to point out my shortcomings!
The Force is unusually strong with you.
It’ll take a lot more than that to defeat me.
I see my own darkness within you.
Whoever you are, you are well-versed in the Jedi arts.
If you think I’m going to roll over and accept defeat, you don’t know me very well.

Second Disadvantage

You don’t intimidate me.
I will not yield! Not now, not ever!
You have style.
You know my forms well.
I’ve had enough of this!
Your technique is flawless.

On Defeat

I always knew the only person who could defeat me is myself.
I am beaten. Hm. For everything, there is a first time.
I will meditate on this defeat.

Summary

Mace Windu brings up his lengthy winning streak and his reputation as the top swordsman many times, going so far as to suggest his clone is the only one who can truly challenge him. He compares the illusion to the Jedi Trials, and wonders if it is one of Kit Fisto’s practical jokes.

January 11th 2025, 8:54 am

Mace Windu

Intro

It’s been a while, Master Kenobi. On your guard.
Let’s see if instructing young Skywalker has taught you anything, Master Kenobi.
I understand you’ve become quite adept with the blade. Let’s see if you can fight as well as you speak.

Ambient

There’s talk that you might be invited to join the Jedi Council. We’ll see about that.
You are one of the most promising young Jedi I have ever seen, Obi-Wan.
The dark side is growing strong. We must be prepared.
You’ve done a better job training Skywalker than I expected.
Master Qui-Gon said you were the most gifted Jedi he ever trained.
This disturbance in the Force clouds our ability to see the future.

First Advantage

Now is not the time for meditation, Master Kenobi.
You won’t defeat a Sith Lord fighting like that!
You are nearly as reckless as Skywalker.
When I fight, my own darkness becomes a weapon of the light.
You’re too cautious with your attacks, Obi-Wan.
You’ll have to do better if you wish to achieve the rank of Master.

Second Advantage

I heard you were supposed to be good.
Do you want to impress me? Stop losing.
Don’t disappoint me, Obi-Wan!
Where is your focus?
You’re getting careless, Obi-Wan.
Don’t lose your concentration!

On Victory

Meditate on your loss, Master Kenobi. You will learn a great deal.
You tested my skills to the limit, Obi-Wan. Well done.
I had my differences with Master Qui-Gon, but I am certain you will become a great Jedi.

First Disadvantage

Qui-Gon taught you well.
Save a little for the Sith, Master Kenobi.
You have great facility with the Force, Master Kenobi.
You have become one of the finest swordsmen in the Jedi Order, Obi-Wan.
Now I see where young Skywalker learned his lightsaber skills.
It takes a lot to impress me, Master Kenobi.

Second Disadvantage

You are as good as they say.
The Force is strong with you, Obi-Wan.
You just might achieve victory.
I am far from vanquished.
This is what I expect of you!
You’ll have to work for this victory, Obi-Wan.

On Defeat

Well fought, Master Kenobi. Qui-Gon would be proud.
You’ve become a master swordsman, Obi-Wan. Well done.
You’re as gracious in victory as you are in defeat, Master Kenobi.

Obi-Wan

Intro

I’ve missed our sparring sessions, Master Windu. Shall we begin?
I hope all that time sitting on the Jedi Council hasn’t dulled your reflexes, Master.
I promise to be a better opponent than a training remote, Master Windu.

Ambient

Need I remind you, Master, I’ve beaten you before?
Anakin has great respect for you, Master. I wish you could see that.
The first time I bested you in a duel was one of the proudest days of my life.
Anakin would go to the ends of the galaxy to impress you, Master Windu.
The Council made a wise decision to assign a Padawan to Anakin.
Neither of us will get any better if we do not fight to the best of our abilities.

First Advantage

You’d best turn this fight around quickly, Master Windu.
Remember, your entire reputation is at stake here, Master.
Do you need a break, Master?
This is an unexpected turn of events.
I think you’ve trained me too well, Master.
This match is nearing its conclusion in my favor, Master.

Second Advantage

I’ve been training, Master Windu.
Don’t look so surprised, Master.
You told me not to go easy on you.
I’m no Padawan learner, Master Windu.
I seem to have the upper hand.
You may yield at any time.

On Victory

Do not worry, Master Windu. I won’t tell the younglings about this.
I must confess I feel a certain amount of pride, Master.
My victory was hard-fought, Master. The Sith Lords don’t stand a chance.

First Disadvantage

Your skills never fail to impress, Master Windu.
Don’t you ever get tired of winning all the time?
I’ve been fighting droids for so long I’d forgotten what it’s like to face a real opponent.
You’ve lost none of your expertise with the blade.
I think your reputation is secure after all, Master.
I’m not going to make this easy for you, Master Windu.

Second Disadvantage

I’ve had better days.
Your skills are as sharp as ever, Master.
Ah. Just like old times.
You’ve learned some new tricks as well!
I’m not ready to yield just yet, Master.
Blast! I’m better than this.

On Defeat

Thank you for the bout, Master. It’s been an education.
You win again, Master Windu.
One only improves by facing a more skilled opponent. Thank you for the lesson.

Summary

Mace and Obi-Wan have sparred in the past, and Kenobi has seemingly won several times before (presumably in reference to their bout in the Obi-Wan game). Obi-Wan still concedes that Mace is the better swordsman, and mentions that he wins far more often than not. Mace’s potential advantage is attributed to his general skill level and Obi-Wan’s overabundance of caution. Obi-Wan’s potential advantage is attributed to recent improvement and his training by Qui-Gon and Mace himself.

January 11th 2025, 8:59 am

Mace Windu

Intro

Koh-to-yah, Master Plo. I hope you’re up for a challenge.
When I want to test myself against the best, I turn to you first, Master Plo.
We’ve known each other too long for formalities, Master Plo. Let’s begin.

Ambient

I do not like what this war has made the Jedi become.
The Force grows dark, and we are all affected by it.
This war may destroy the Jedi Order.
It’s dangerous for so many Padawans to join the war before they’re ready.
No betrayal has stung so deeply as Count Dooku’s.
The dark side descends like a veil across the galaxy.

First Advantage

You may be able to sense my moves, but I’m still too fast for you!
Your mind powers won’t help you in this fight, Master Plo.
I’m accustomed to winning, but I expect more of a challenge from you.
You need to learn some new tricks, Master Plo.
You fight a reactive battle. You can’t win that way against a strong opponent.
The Jedi have enemies everywhere now, even the Senate.

Second Advantage

Take charge of the battle!
I don’t expect such obvious moves from you.
Speed must always follow precision.
This is your fight to lose, Master Plo.
Your defenses are sloppy. That’s not like you.
This fight is over. That will soon become clear.

On Victory

Mi-ku-toh, Master Plo. Thank you for a stimulating bout.
Defeating you in combat never gets any easier, Master Plo.
It’s an honor to beat one of the Jedi Order’s finest swordsmen.

First Disadvantage

Your foundling, Ahsoka Tano, is thriving as Skywalker’s apprentice.
It takes great wisdom to master powers so close to the dark side.
Your Force powers are formidable.
I haven’t faced such a difficult opponent since the last time I fenced Master Yoda!
Keep fighting like that, and you just might beat me.

(repeated 2x)

Second Disadvantage

The war has sharpened your skills.
You are as skillful as ever.
I won’t make this easy for you.
You know how to confound an opponent.
Your technique is overpowering!
I have plenty of fight left in me!

On Defeat

I never failed to learn from our bouts, Master Plo.
Well fought, Master Plo. You’re one of my most trusted friends in the Jedi Order.
Mi-ku-toh, Master Plo. It is never shameful to lose to a Jedi of your skill.

Plo Koon

Intro

Koh-to-yah, Master Windu. You look ready for a fight.
Few Jedi in the Order tax my lightsaber skills the way you do, Master Windu.
Greetings, my old friend. It has been far too long since we crossed swords.

Ambient

We must end this war before it consumes the Jedi Order.
This war has sometimes made me question my sense of right and wrong.
The Supreme Chancellor is consolidating a disturbing amount of power.
What will become of the clone army once the war finally ends?
I sense this war is only one more step in a far greater game.
We lost many good Jedi on Geonosis. Their sacrifice will not be in vain.

First Advantage

Your proclivity to attack weakens your defense.
To adhere to a rigid form is to be bound by its limitations.
Did you not foresee the futility of this combat?
Skywalker still struggles with his emotions, but I still believe we made the right decision to train him.
Perhaps it’s time we reassessed your reputation as a swordsman.
I fight to win, not to stalemate.

Second Advantage

Even the mightiest among us must fall eventually.
You’re slipping, old friend.
Sometimes caution is advisable.
Even your speed has limits, Master Windu.
You’ll have a difficult time winning this one now.
Prepare yourself for defeat.

On Victory

I can always depend on pushing my skills to the limit when facing you, my old friend.
Mi-ku-toh, Master Windu. Your unmatched skills make my victory all the more satisfying.
I am pleased by the outcome of this bout, old friend. Pleased, but not surprised.

First Disadvantage

Beware of the dark side, old friend. It wants to find purchase within you.
It’s good to train with someone who uses such an aggressive technique.
This is just like old times, before the war.
I had hoped to spend my remaining years in quiet meditation, not fighting a war.
Count Dooku was a contrarian, but I never thought him capable of such evil.
You remain one of the finest swordsmen the Order has ever produced.

Second Disadvantage

Your attacks are effective, as always.
Attack forms are only half the battle, Master Windu.
You’re growing older, but no less formidable.
You know very well that I will not yield.
You’d best strike fast before I regain the advantage.
The Force runs strong in you, Master Windu.

On Defeat

Your skill with a lightsaber surely surpasses Master Yoda’s!
Mi-ku-toh, Master Windu. Did I ever stand a chance against you?
An excellent bout, Master Windu. This has been most instructive.

Summary

Mace Windu and Plo Koon are old friends and the other’s preferred sparring partner. Mace still wins most of their duels, but Plo has seemingly won in the past. Plo is again compared to Yoda in terms of skill, and, on being defeated by Windu, Plo suggests this must mean Windu is more capable than even Yoda. Both Jedi Masters give the other advice throughout the duel. Mace’s potential advantage is attributed to his speed and aggressive style, while Plo’s potential advantage is attributed to his unusual Force powers and tactics.

January 11th 2025, 9:10 am

Obi-Wan

Intro

Hello there.
I have a bad feeling about this.
This should be interesting.

Ambient

I must have spent too much time on Kamino.
What an extraordinary experience.
Now I know how Jango Fett must have felt.
You are a handsome devil.
Let’s see what you’ve got.
If I’m Obi-Wan, does that make you Obi-Two?

First Advantage

The Force is with me… and you too, it appears.
The beard is a good look for you.
I’d work on my defensive forms if I were you.
I’m glad Qui-Gon isn’t here to see this.
Come on, now. I know you can do better than that.
Just because you’re me doesn’t mean I won’t fight to win.

Second Advantage

Let’s see you get out of this one.
I’d hate to be in your shoes right now.
Let go your conscious self.
You can’t anticipate everything.
Don’t try your mind tricks on me.
You’re a stubborn opponent.

On Victory

I always knew I was the better man.
I’m sure you’ll win next time.
You should be ashamed of yourself after a performance like that.

First Disadvantage

No matter who wins, I lose.
Our master taught us well.
This is hardly a fair fight. You know all my weaknesses!
If anyone can turn this duel around, I can.
I shall emerge from this contest a stronger swordsman.
How did I not see that coming?

Second Disadvantage

You handle yourself well.
All right. You’ve made your point.
Good job!
You’re quicker than you look.
This could be going better.
I’m a surprisingly strong adversary.

On Defeat

The Force will be with you, always.
I don’t know if I should curse you or congratulate you.
I bow to your superior skill, Master Kenobi.

Summary

Obi-Wan is surprised at how challenging of an opponent he is. He remarks on how effective Qui-Gon’s training was.

January 11th 2025, 9:16 am

Obi-Wan

Intro

I’m ready when you are, Master Plo.
As you are so fond of saying: “my saber is ready.”
Koh-to-yah, Master Plo. Shall we?

Ambient

Master Qui-Gon always held you in the highest esteem.
We lost many good Jedi on Geonosis. Their sacrifice will not be in vain.
You were like a second master to me.
I wish the Republic had more Jedi like you, Master Plo.
I must be ready to face Count Dooku again.

(repeated 2x)

First Advantage

I’m no longer the Padawan you used to spar with.
Is it impolite to ask a Jedi Master to yield?
You’d best start taking this bout seriously if you want to beat me.
I’ve observed your technique for years, Master.
Qui-Gon believed in daily lightsaber instruction.
Your approval means a great deal to me, Master Plo.

Second Advantage

I wish Qui-Gon could see this.
You’re out of practice, old friend.
You’re running out of time.
I’ve got you on your heels now!
Here is where all that training pays off!
Could this be a victory for Obi Obi?

On Victory

Mi-ku-toh, Master Plo. It is always an education to face you in combat.
It was a close match, Master Plo.
I could not have faced a more worthy opponent, Master Plo.

First Disadvantage

You are an artist with the blade, Master Plo.
I am better than this, I assure you.
You do know how to keep me on my toes, Master!
I’m going turn this fight around any moment!
Your skills have not diminished in the least.
I’m luring you into a false sense of security.

Second Disadvantage

You’re as skilled as ever!
This could be going better.
The Force is strong with you, Master Plo.
This is a familiar situation.
There’s plenty of fight left in me!
You know better than to count me out!

On Defeat

I never fail to learn something from you, Master Plo.
Mi-ku-toh, Master Plo. I clearly have more training to do.
I think a rematch is in order.

Plo Koon

Intro

Koh-to-yah, Master Kenobi. Let us play.
Come, Obi-Wan. Let us see who is the better swordsman.
Young Master Kenobi. Rarely have I seen a Jedi so eager to embrace defeat.

Ambient

At times, I think of you as one of my own pupils!
Qui-Gon once told me you were the brightest student he’d ever trained.
Do not covet a seat on the Jedi Council. Ambition is natural, but entitlement is a path to the dark side.
You did well in your training of Skywalker.
Qui-Gon will always be with you, Master Kenobi.
Qui-Gon Jinn was a good friend, and I am proud to say the same of you, Obi-Wan.

First Advantage

Blade skill is not everything. Be mindful of the Living Force.
I know Qui-Gon taught you to parry better than that.
Remember: when you attack, you also make yourself vulnerable.
You must be fluid in battle. Flow into the cracks in your enemy’s defenses and destroy them.
I will test your mettle, young Jedi.
You have faced two Sith Lords, Obi-Wan. Certainly you can do better against one old Jedi.

Second Advantage

The bout moves toward a conclusion unfavorable to you.
Your blade is sluggish.
How did you ever manage to defeat me?
The balance tips in my favor.
Your defense is lacking.
If you want the advantage, you must take it.

On Victory

Do not feel discouraged Obi-Wan. I’ve been doing this since you were a youngling.
It seems this old Jedi can still put up a fight after all!
Well fought, young Master Kenobi. But this time, victory has eluded you.

First Disadvantage

I’ve watched you grow into a brave and cunning Jedi.
Your gift of negotiation will help bind the Republic together during these dark times.
I see some of Qui-Gon’s training has finally sunk in.
You’ve shown great valor as a Jedi Knight.
I will fight until there is a clear victor.
Your master had unorthodox views, but he was a great Jedi.

Second Disadvantage

You exceed your master’s skill with the blade.
You are well-versed in the Jedi arts.
You do your master proud, Obi-Wan.
You fight without fear or anger.
Qui-Gon’s training serves you well.
You are headstrong, much like your master.

On Defeat

You are as skillful as you are wise, young Kenobi. Someday, you shall join me on the Jedi Council.
Mi-ku-toh, Obi-Wan. Well done.
Your skills sharpen my own, Master Kenobi.

Summary

Several references are made to their spar in the Obi-Wan game, with it being shown that Obi-Wan did defeat Plo, but Plo’s victory was the status quo. Since then though, Obi-Wan has improved considerably. As alluded to in his duel with Fisto, Obi-Wan is anxious about achieving the rank of Master, and Plo advises him on his prospects. Plo taught Kenobi as a second master to Qui-Gon, and remarks that Qui-Gon considered Obi-Wan his best student and that by now Obi-Wan has surpassed his old master. Obi-Wan’s potential advantage is attributed to Qui-Gon’s training and his mental balance. Plo’s potential advantage is attributed to his creative fighting style and Obi-Wan’s sluggish attacks.

January 11th 2025, 9:21 am

Plo Koon

Intro

My saber is ready.
I sense a great disturbance in the Force.
Koh-to-yah, Master Jedi. Defend yourself.

Ambient

You must know your enemy as you know yourself.
Whatever the explanation, our meeting must be the will of the Force.
This is Master Filoni’s dream made form.
You cannot defeat me, and I cannot defeat you.
Is this the work of the dark side?

First Advantage

If the Sith conjured you to test me, they will be disappointed in the result.
I will discover the meaning of this.
Perhaps your saber is not as ready as you think?
Your training mirrors my own.
It’s not personal. It’s Jedi business.
Your Jedi skills are lacking.

Second Advantage

The Jedi Council must hear of this.
Eyes can deceive, but the Force does not.
We both know who is the superior swordsman.
Lay down your sword, impostor.
I will strike you down if I must.
Twins don’t run in my family.

On Victory

Before you can master your enemy, you must first master yourself.
Mi-ku-toh. You were a most challenging opponent.
This was a most stimulating encounter, Master Jedi.

First Disadvantage

I have a bad feeling about this.
You are too skilled in the Jedi arts to be a changeling.
Perhaps my antiox mask is malfunctioning.
You have great skill, for an apparition.
This meeting is by design. The Force does not play tricks.
I did not anticipate such a spirited challenge!

Second Disadvantage

It is a pleasure watching your technique.
You are an accomplished swordsman.
I sense the conflict within you.
You know the holes in my defense.
I admire our expertise with the blade.
Defeating me is no easy task.

On Defeat

Mi-ku-toh, Master Jedi. I have learned a great deal about myself.
Well fought, Master Jedi. The Force instructs us, but we must be open to the message.
I see the truth in the Jedi proverb “there is no greater enemy than the enemy within.”
