Boba Fett vs Han Solo

The Bounty Hunter vs The Scoundrel

Star Wars Battlefront    VS    Star Wars Battlefront Han Solo Han Solo, Leia, and Emperor Palpatine Join Star Wars Battlefront

Han Solo vs Boba Fett

The Smuggling Scoundrel vs The Galatic Bounty Hunter

In this match up between the two contestants we will be doing the same as we have always done in our previous articles, each person will be judge on 4 categories followed by a scenario battle, without further a due lets dive into the battle of Han Solo vs Boba Fett


Round 1: Physical abilities

Boba and his Mandalorian Armor                            VS                                           Han Solo - Info, Pictures, and Videos | StarWars.com - Okay, okay I have a little crush on him.

Han Solo: A taller and well built human male, he is athletically strong and fast. He isn't a Jedi or a Sith, but he is what one would consider to be athletic almost on a semi pro athlete level. This almost undermines him, simply put he is in great shape. When I say fast I mean he has a very quick hand for a quick draw from his blaster on the level of top tier cowboy duelist. If you have your guard down around Han he might just surprise you. Han also has a good endurance for long missions, battles, and even torture. On a scale of 1-10 Han has a solid 7.


Boba Fett: Boba Fett was a Clone from the famous Jedi Killer Jango Fett, but Jango didn't want Boba altered like the rest of his clone counter parts so he was a normal human born with Jango's DNA. Boba Fett was considered extremely well physically conditioned and had his fathers abilities in physical proweless. Boba Fett was considered strong enough to fight 1 on 1 with a wookie and win, fast enough to kill Jedi, and stealthy enough that even force sensetives has a hard time tracking him. Boba Fett would put pro athletes to shame on his speed, strength, endurance, and stealth. Scale of 1-10, Boba Fett is a 9 for not being a force sensitive.
Winner of round 1: Boba Fett, he wouldn't be considered the galaxies greatest bounty hunter if he wasn't fit for the job.

Round 2: duelist/fighting abilities

Han Solo: Han Solo was a great combatant on a field when he came against storm troopers or whoever really, we will see more in his upcoming anthology film. Han was a very quick hand with his blaster and often caught his enemies by surprise or opportunity. He had quick reflexes to usually get the jump on his foes, but often once his foes knew he was there it just became a fire fight. Han solo was also a great marksman and able to hit his targets often if not always. However Han was very direct once noticed and engaged in fire fights often, but that isn't to say at times he isn't clever and can be stealthy like when he was on the death star or at star killer base. However, each time he went he was discovered and then engaged in a fight. On a scale of 1-10 as a blaster weilder 9
Boba Fett: Boba Fett grew up training with Clone ARC troopers as well as being personally taught from his father Jango Fett ( the greatest bounty hunter at the time) and later the runner up greatest bounty hunters. Near the end of Boba Fetts training he killed Cade Bane the runner up and 2nd to Jango hence his dent in his helmet from a quick draw duel.  Boba Fetts whole life has been being trained as a gun for hire or soldier, he is considered one of the greatest shots, fastest shots, clever tactitional minds for his bounties, and also been in the clone wars leading up to parts of the galactic civil war. Boba Fett has plenty of war experience and he uses it well. In regards to speed or surprises, no one surprises Boba Fett or can outpace him in shooting.
On a scale of 1-10 as a blaster weilder 10.
Winner of round 2: Boba Fett, Han is a great combatant and ground soldier, but Boba Fett has faced many more enemies and has a bigger range of experience.

 Round 3: Tactics

Star Wars - Boba Fett ;)       VS        Raymond Swanland Star Wars | New Star Wars artwork from Raymond Swanland, Mike Kungl & more! - ACME ...


Han Solo: Han Solo was considered a great tactic mind, he was often clever and very bold, he often knew when to attack, when to evade, how to sneak in or sneak out, he was considered a great smuggler, so if anything he was a top tier professional thief in the galaxy. He has a lot of experience in dealing with the empire and knowing how to make a plan, he was successful on his mission on Endor when it came to sabotage tactics, he succeed on rescuing princess Leia from the Death Star even though he fought his way through he did survive. Usually Han had to make up plans on the fly and improvise, but sometime that can only get you so far, after all he did get captured on Endor to begin with, but when the Ewoks helped he took that as an opportunity to fight with his squadron. On a scale of 1-10 on tactics Han is a 8, only because he is so good with his plans on the fly.
Boba Fett: Being the greatest bounty hunter in the world usually has well thought out planning and executions, normally in books, comics, or tv series, Boba fett always studies his enemies before taking a job, he always lures them into a trap of his choosing and often executes them when they don't expect it, however that doesn't mean Boba fett cant adapt on the fly either, after all in his profession not all plans go accordingly. Boba Fetts biggest successes in luring his prey is when he traps Mace Windu as a boy for revenge, Tracks down Han Solo's ship while hiding in garbage, assassinating high level crime bosses in their guarded homes, killing Jedi. Boba Fett is a great hunter if your not getting the jist by now. on a scale of 1-10 Boba gets a 8

Winner of this round: Tie 
Both can adapt on the fly and both know when to execute their plans. 


Round 4: Equipment


*BOBA FETT ~ Star Wars :       10 Things We Want To See In A Han Solo Star Wars Movie


Han Solo: Han Solo only carried one thing, a good blaster, his DL-44 was considered illegal to the empire due to its ability to go through the armor of storm troopers, in short its pretty much the .44 Magnum of the Star Wars. Han also had a light jacket for good moment and silence, but other than that he didnt have much else. On a scale of 1-10 Han gets a 5 because he only has his skills and a good blaster. If he sustains an injury he doesnt have armor to protect him and he can be vulnerable for other attacks.
Boba Fett: Boba Fett was considered a Swiss army knife of star wars, he had Mandolorian Armor capable of taking heavy blaster fire, even light-medium placed lightsaber strikes, a special fiber suit for when injured it would work as a pressure system to keep him from bleeding out or holding his body in place. He also had wrist gauntlets full of different items such a wrist rockets, a flame thrower, and a wire bolo shooter to capture enemies. as well as he had his utility for hacking, scanning, blocking devices. Boba Fetts gun was a EE-3 Carbine Blaster Rifle, good for short and medium engagements, but it shot on a triple burst fire and semi, this was another illegal gun to have for the empire. Boba fett also had  a rocket launcher jet pack capable of making him fly for short distances, shooting devastating rockets, and having a quick escape from his enemies or a quick chase to get to them. However, all of these impressive feats combined do not match up to Boba Fetts helmet, his helmet has a 360 degree sonar tracking device that literally lets him be aware of all his surrounding areas, he can have night vision, thermal vision, and heat vision in his helmet, it also has a system inside to take care of toxins if in the area, it also is the most durable part of his armor. On a scale of 1-10, its a 10, I would say Boba Fett dresses to the 9's, but he is so well equipped that hardly anyone would beat him in readiness. 

Winner of round 4 by scale of 1-10 
Boba Fett: 8
Han Solo: 2  


#Starwars



Scenario: 

This battle will take place on Endor, the forest planet with the Ewoks.
Han Solo would be leading a stealth mission through the heavy forest of Endor, Han was tasked with a recon mission trying to find a way into the Imperial Base, as Han would be sneaking through the forest he would hear a snap from a twig, immediately he would quick draw his pistol pointing at the direction of the snap, but nothing happened, it was like something was standing there, but there wasn't anything, as Han would holster his weapon, Boba Fett would be leerking in the bushes. As Han continued he would find his way to the back of the Imperial base and would try to signal the others, but his communication device would suddenly be shot from his hand. Han would quickly draw his blaster and return fire at the tree from which the blast came from blaster bolts would hit the tree where Boba was standing, Fett thought " Best not to underestimate him" suddenly Fetts jetpack would ignite and he would be sending a wrist rocket at Han. Han Solo would suddenly dive showing his instinct from previous combat experience and dodge the blast of the rocket, but he couldn't rest for long because immediately after his roll he would be dodging more blaster fire from Fett, much to Fetts surprise he would be impressed by the skills of the smuggler. " Guess ill have to burn him out" Fett would ignite his flamethrower and cause fire to the forest, this would result in Han rushing his way toward the base and surprising the storm troopers on guard, he would expertly and quickly blast through them and rush inside with some of their thermal detonators, Fett knew Han would try to destroy the instruments inside the base. Quickly Fett would rush in, but his Jet pack would run out of fuel. "I still got 1 good rocket" As Fett rushed in Han would suprise him with a few blaster shots aimed at him. The blaster bolts would miss save 1 that would deflect off Boba Fett's shoulder Armor. Boba would also return fire and hit Han in the Arm as well. With Hans Arm bleeding Boba would track him through the base. Han would be sneaking from corridor to corridor doing his best to silently step, but Boba Fetts helmet contained his 360 degree sensory of Hans every foot step, as Han walked down a dark hallway he would barely see the light shine off of a helmet and suddenly he would dodge again with a blaster bolt jolting past him. Again to the Bounty Hunters surprise a quick shot was made and Fett was hit in the arm, only this time the blaster went between the armor, luckily Fetts special fiber suit would truncate itself around the wound so he would have some minor use of his arm. Fett would bend down and shoot his rocket lighting up the dark corridor, with Han solo exposing himself the hunter and smuggler would be face to face in a quick draw type scenario, as both stared at each other a moment stood still to where one would think that the men shot lighting, both men went falling to the floor, but after a while Boba Fett would stand up and claim his bounty, only his Mandolorian helmet would be badly damaged from Hans DL-44 blaster, Boba would trophy the weapon as his best and most challenging bounty.

Darth Maul vs Mace Windu

The Phantom Menace vs The Vaapad Master 

Star Wars - Darth Maul by Torstein Nordstrand   Star Wars - Mace Windu by Jan Duursema

In this match up we will be comparing their Physical, Dueling, Tactical, and Force abilities against each other and later end the duel in a scenario.

Round 1: Physical Abilites

Darth Maul 

Star Wars. Curated by Suburban Fandom, NYC Tri-State Fan Events: http://yonkersfun.com/category/fandom/

Darth Maul was a well built humanoid Zabarak Warrior who was in his physical prime, considered to be stronger than most, in fact he was highly conditioned to do long engagements with enemy fighters and last for a long time in battle. If we were to rate on a scale of 1-10 on how good of shape Darth Maul was in he would be reaching a 9.5-10, he is the perfect fighting condition duelist. He is not only physically strong, but extremely fast as we and agile in his movements. He is seen using many physical strikes within his combat sequences as well as performing aerial flips during duels crediting his physical abilities. He also has a great endurance for engagements and has one of the highest pain thresholds due to his species, he can tank mounts of pain and keep fighting. In short you wouldnt want to go against Maul and expect to last. 

Mace Windu

Mace Unleashed

Mace Windu was a Human Jedi who was older in his years around 40, but he was just as good in shape as men half his age. He was considered one of the most powerful force users in the Jedi order and was gifted with great physical abilities, Mace Windu was considered to be one of the most in shape Jedi of the order, on a scale of 1-10 on physical conditioning, Mace Windu would be at a 9, I say 9 due to his older age, but dont let that fool you in how well he is conditioned. Mace Windu was well conditioned to have marathon lightsaber duels as well as engage with enemies who were younger and stronger than he was, but to give you an idea of how strong Mace Windu was during a battle in the clone wars he destroyed over 100,000 battle droids in a fight and slayed many of them just using his bare hands. This speaks greatly to his strength, speed, agility, and endurance to last in a fight. Mace also was able to keep up with the speeds of Grand Master Yoda and Darth Sidious who were considered some of the fastest beings in the galaxy. He fought on equal offensive output as General Grievous who could strike up to 20 strikes per second, if not Mace Windu could put more of an offensive output making him deathly quick.  

The winner of this round 1-10
Darth Maul 5
Mace Windu 5

Although I said Maul was at a 10 and Mace was at a 9 that doest mean Maul would be able to outlast him nor Mace able to outlast Maul they both would go in giving it their all til a killing blow is struck. 

Round 2: Dueling Abilites

Darth Maul

Darth Maul vs. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn wallpaper

Darth Maul was considered to be one of the finest duelist in Star Wars History, I mean in the Top 7 Duelist in the Galaxy. He was able to combat both Obi Wan Kenobi ( Padowan, but fought later as he was a Jedi Master too ) Qui Gon Jin in the first episode and manages to slay Qui Gon. Qui Gon was considered to be one of the finer swordsmen of the Jedi Order at the time. Darth Maul was also able to contend with Darth Sidious 1 on 1 for a while until he was out maneuvered and then defeated by the Dark Lords Force powers. However, make no Mistake Darth Maul has fought not only Jedi, but Count Dooku, Asasjj Ventress, and General Grievous as well and managed to live through them. Darth Mauls dueling style was Form 7 Juyo which was the highly aggressive and offensive form of combat. The Form was considered to be unpredictable and rapid in attacks giving great offensive output onslaughts. However, that doesn't mean Maul didn't have balance as due to his double sided lightsaber he was able to do attacks and counter attacks if opponents attacked him. He was a greatly gifted duelist I would say only the best of the best could contend with Maul and live to tell about it, or be lucky enough to escape before its too late. 

Mace Windu

Mace Windu, by Chris Trevas - Star Wars 

Mace Windu was considered 2nd to none in Lightsaber Combat, he was one of the best and most powerful lightsaber combatants anyone has ever seen. He not only was able to contend with Darth Sidious by himself, but he outfought Sidious, though some speculate Sidious through the fight, but allow me to elaborate, At first yes Sidious threw the fight to save time for Anakin to see that Windu was attacking him, but during that fight Sidious regretted allowing Mace to live for a moment because this allowed  Mace Windu to actually use his form Vaapad and was starting to get the actual upper hand on the Sith Lord and Sidious feared his arrogance of that moment would cost him his life. Mace Windu is the master who created the Form 7 style of Vaapad, this was a form that allowed Jedi to enter into the fight and enjoy the duel and use the opponents dark side abilities against them. It is much like the Sith Form 7 Style Juyo, but only used for the light side of the force, but not many Jedi Practiced it due to its nature to lure Jedi to the Dark Side. Mace has even effortlessly decapitated the most dangerous bounty hunter Jango Fett as well and often Sparred against Count Dooku, a person who was on his level besides Yoda or Sidious. If anything Mace Windu is an accomplished Duelist who only the best of the best could stand up to. 

Winner of this round by scale of 1-10 
Darth Maul: 4.9
Mace Windu: 5.1

Seriously its almost so close its negligible, but this would be an ultimate duel of the two masters apprentices, Yoda's prodigy vs Sidious's Apprentice. If either of them slips up at all during this fight with each other its likely the other will perish to ones blade work. Windu only has the slight advantage because he can use Darth Mauls Dark Side energy against him, but that alone wouldn't be enough to beat Darth Maul.  
  

Round 3: Force Abilites


DARTH MAUL

Darth Maul - I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan, but I had to post this for the spectacular image.

Darth Maul was considered to be a powerful force user, he was trained by the Dark Lord of The Sith, Darth Sidious. He used most of his abilities in his physical combat, this helps to contribute to his higher pain threshold, his insane strength and endurance, as well as his force precognition was on point, precognition is when you have foresight of the future, hence why in the prequels it looks like choreographed dance fighting because its so smooth of these warriors in their prime. Darth Maul had good use of his basic attacks of Force Push, Force Pull, Force Throw, as well as Force Speed, he also uses the Dark Side of the Force to fuel his anger and hatred in gaining him power. 

MACE WINDU 


Master of the Council - Mace Windu oil painting by Paul Burrow

Mace Windu was considered a very powerful Jedi Master in the force, second to Yoda, he was gifted in many attributes of the abilities the force granted him. He was gifted with great precognition foresight, force crush, force push, speed, throw, physical strength and agility, and his greatest force ability shatter point: This ability is able to look for the weaknesses in opponents, like starting at a perfect shaped mirror, but being able to see the weak point. In his battles Mace Windu has been seen sending hundreds of battle droids flying by a powerful force push, he is also a Jedi who knows mind trick, force infiltration: This is when you can go inside someones mind to read their thoughts. In anything short Mace Windu was considered to be the Chosen One, until Anakin came along. 

Winner by scale of 1-10 
Darth Maul: 4
Mace Windu: 6

Round 4: Tactics 

Darth Maul By Craig Deakes #starwars #darthmaul

Darth Maul was considered to be a great dueling tactic mind, he was able to contend with two Jedi at the same time and make it difficult for both of them to overcome him, not only that, but Darth Maul was able to lure out Obi Wan Kenobi by causing some destruction around the Galaxy and trapping and even capturing the Great Tactic mind like Obi Wan Kenobi. Maul also took over the warrior planet Mandelore and controlled that section for a short time, he became so much of a dangerous force that even the Emperor himself wen to deal with him. Eventually Maul always skeemed to get revenge on those who do him wrong, such as Obi Wan Kenobi, he succeed in his revenge by killing Obi Wan Kenobi's love right in front of him only to see the Jedi Master broken. ( Wait Obi Wan had  a love connection? Yes he had a prior love connection and harbored feelings, but it didnt destroy him). However, the point was that Darth Maul usually knows how to succeed in his plans and strategy. He is a master manipulator and is able to trick people into doing his bidding. 

Mace Windu 

Mace Windu for Star Wars Miniatures: Masters of the Force art by Terese Nielsen

Mace Windu was a great, powerful, and wise Jedi Master. He was a very great strategist in his tactics when it came on engagements. Mace was one of the greatest Generals in the Clone Wars, normally taking on the hardest and most deadly missions other armies had to offer. Mace normally succeeded in his missions as well as his task, however when it comes to dueling he is very direct and forward, one would say his rushing to Palatines office was considered rash and wreckless when it came to confronting the Dark Lord of The Sith, Mace underestimated his opponent by only taking 4 Jedi Masters, however one could argue he didnt underestimate his opponent if he took 4 Jedi Masters, but that is always up for debate. However, despite Mace Windu's direct and forward approach, he can manage to do it because he is able to back it up and hold his own in almost any situation. 

Winner by rate of 1-10
  Darth Maul: 5
Mace Windu: 5

The Scenario

Who win in a lightsaber duel?Mace Windu: VS:Darth Maul:VOTE!!!!!


VS

       Mace Windu, Jedi Master.


This battle will take place in the Coruscant Senate building, only instead of Mace Windu going to confront the Chancloer with his 4 Jedi, Mace instead finds the Former apprentice of the Sith hunting down Palpatine. The two would stare at each other for a moment, and Mace would say " So your the one who killed Qui Gon Jin." Darth Maul would smile and remove his robes and get into a stance ready for battle. Maul igniting his double sided lightsaber would be ready for Mace Windu to take the approach and wait for his opponent to make the first move. Mace Windu would ignite his lightsaber and begin his attack first, Maul would notice how fast and aggressive Mace Windu's strikes were and how it dawned on him the familiarity of the style, it was like his Juyo, but only not. Maul would reassess the situation and begin putting counter strikes into the Jedi Masters sequence, Mindu would be very strong to see these counters coming and use an offensive move to counter Darth Mauls Counters, but then Windu would suddenly feel a kick against his chest, as he went flying back he would see Darth Maul leap in the air ready to commit to an assault of his own, as Windu would land on his feet and regain composure he and Maul would be striking at each other blow for blow matching each others speed, strength, agility, and ferocity. The room would be flashing with bright colors of red and purple as the two would battle it out, through the dark city one could speculate that the flashes of red and purple lighting were in the sky. Inside the room Maul would use a force push to knock Mace Windu off balance, but Windu would simply do an areal assault and land on his feet, he would return a force push only for Maul to tank it and stand in a strong warrior position. This was starting to become a contest to the will of the warrior. Both would again engage in a jaw dropping lightsaber exchange as both ferocity warriors would strike and counter, strike and counter, only no one is able to get the upper hand on each other, the more this duel played out though the more clear Mace Windu's Vaapad would start to kick in and see the Dark Force users power and start to work it against him. This would happen as then Mace would see Mauls greatest weakness, his double sided lightsaber, with a quick swing of his blade, Mace Windu would cut Darth Mauls lightsaber in half, and suddenly kick Maul to the ground with one of Mauls lightsaber half's falling out the senate building window. Attempting to make a finishing move on Maul by striking down, Maul would quickly leap up to avoid a final lightsaber strike, and reengage with Mace Windu Single blade to single blade. Mace and Maul would land a few strikes of punches and kicks to each other, but then finally Mace Knew what he would have to do to finish this fight. Mace would allow Maul to attack with his ferocity and let Maul give into his anger and hate, for he had Vaapad, and it succeeds though not without sacrifice, as Maul would continue his onslaught Mace would strike true and cut the sith in half finally seeing an opening, but Maul would take Mace Windu's arm in the process. As Maul would fall out the window cut in Half, Mace would be recalling the Jedi Masters for assistance and be rushed to a Jedi Temple to regain a robotic hand, the attack on the Emperor would have to wait.

My Personal Thoughts and opinons

In the end not much force abilities would really be used in this battle, the only time they would be used is if one would get distance over the other. In this circumstance it wouldnt be a powerful force push that would decide a winner, but rather the influences of the force within a fight, both Mace Windu and Maul would be on equal footing the entire time in dueling the only reason Mace Windu would win is because of his force abilities shatter point, and Vaapad to use Mauls dark energy against him, slowly, but surely, however with great sacrifice.

The winner 
Mace Windu: 5.2 out of 10 times. 
Darth Maul: 4.8 out of 10 times.

However this is just my opinion, here are a few more videos relevant to this topic.

The Awakening vs The Jedi Hunter 

The Awakening
Rey: A young athletic female human who is relatively new to the force, but shows promising potential to become powerful. She is a character who has a mysterious back ground story and grew up on the dessert planet of Jakku. Rey is learning how to become a Jedi much like Luke, but she show cases a natural nack for Force Powers as well as a quick ability in learning some Lightsaber Techniques. Rey is found by a BB8 unit on the planet of Jakku that pulls her into the Star Wars Story and she shows that she was a survivor on the planet by constantly scavaging as well as being capable of defending herself against a couple of thugs on the planet. Later as she runs into Han Solo and Chewbacca she goes on a journey to help the Resistance. Because she is traveling with Han Solo she goes to a planet by the name of Takodana, there she goes inside the palaces basement and discovers the original Skywalker Lightsaber, by doing this the Lightsaber acts as a holocron type ( A magical information tool, its like a magic book that provides instant knowledge.) By touching the Skywalker Lightsaber she gained a vision of many different types of events in the history of Star Wars. With a Force Ghost of Kenobi saying " Rey these are your first steps". By this happening Rey awoke her Force Powers and the natural Jedi heritage she has. During this time the palace came under attack by the First Order and Kylo Ren. She engaged Kylo Ren for a short time before being knocked out by a force ability and taken to Star Killer Base. There she was interrogated by Kylo Ren and was able to resist his interrogation mind read tactic and rather read his mind instead, this confused the Dark figure and he left in frustration, shortly after she did a Jedi mind trick against a Storm Trooper who loosened her restraints and she snuck through the Star Killer base only to be found by Finn. As her and Finn snuck through the base they witnessed Han Solo being killed by Kylo Ren aka Ben Solo ( Hans son ). This broke Reys heart as she saw Han as a father figure she didn't have, but tears would have to wait because shortly after she and Finn had to face off against a wounded Kylo Ren by Chewies Bowcaster. Rey initially got force pushed into a tree and was knocked out by Kylo Ren again only later to obtain conscious and use a Force Pull to then engage in a lightsaber duel with Kylo Ren. Rey was more of a defensive fighter at first, but later went on the offensive to gain a victory over a defeated Kylo Ren, she later appears in The Last Jedi and undergoes some training from Luke Skywalker, but he comments her ability in the force is natural and strong and she only has a few lessons given. She works on some of her lightsaber skills a little and force abilities, but during her stay she keeps having mind connections with Kylo Ren and she questions who Luke is, the two engage in a short fight and Rey "wins" However this is Luke just not wanting to fight. Rey later leaves the island to help save her friends. As she leaves she gives herself up to the First Order to be brought before the Dark Figurehead Supreme Leader Snoke. Rey tries to engage against Supreme Leader, but she is utterly rag dolled in the force and is put before Kylo Ren for execution, but Kylo Ren betrays his master and helps free Rey and the two engage against the Supreme Leaders royal and trusted Praetorian Guards. Though Rey sustains a small injury from a highly trained royal guard, her and Kylo Ren manage to eliminate all 8 of them. It was a 2 on 8 fight. After Kylo and Rey have their differences and she ship is blown up, Rey manages to escape back to the planet of Crait. When she arrives she uses the Force to lift up a land slide of boulders to save her friends and the resistance. She is last seen talking with Princess Leia. In short Rey is a natural gifted force user, combatant, but there is more to come hopefully. 

General Grievous: The infamous and feared Jedi Hunter General Grievous was a Cyborg General of the Droid Army in the Clone Wars. The General was considered a great and powerful warrior able to contend with Jedi Master leveled Jedi despite having no force powers. The General was once a Kalish Alien leader who was considered a God by this people due to his great war abilities. The General earned his name because his wife was killed in action and he was grieving for her, hence the name General Grievous. While going to seek aid for his people Count Dooku sabotaged the Generals ship and blew it up, but managed to save Grievous's body in the process and had him completely rebuilt. The only thing that remained of Grievousness's body was his organs, as well as brain and some eye tissue. The General was rebuilt to have natural enhanced reflexes to keep up with the Jedi as well as he was programmed to know all 7 Lightsaber forms in an instant. Imagine having instant knowledge of all Lightsaber forms and having a brain chip calculate when to use what form.  However having this information was helpful, but there was more needing to be done then just having it. Count Dooku ( One of the top swordsmen at the time ) trained General Grievous in secret for many hours in the amount of hundreds. Dooku always telling the General if he was to have a chance against Jedi, he would need fear, intimidation, surprise, and unorthodox attacks on his side. The General would make great use of this in his battles to come against Jedi. Through the Clone Wars, The General has been seen many times engaging with Jedi and usually overpowering, overwhelming, or giving close calls to powerful beings. In his victories Grievous would collect the lightsabers of his fallen victims and claim them and trophies from his kills. Grievous has at least 10 Lightsabers. General Grievousness main rival in the Clone Wars was Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi. Eventually the two had a final duel on the planet Utapau. Kenobi victorious. 

Round 1: Physical Abilities

General Grievous, one of my favorite Star Wars villains.                VS     Star Wars 7 The Force Awakens Rey Standup - 6' Tall from BirthdayExpress.com


Rey: Rey is a well built and athletic human female who has a strong sense of will and decent endurance. She normally trains hard and extensively in her Staff abilities and then trained in light saber combat training hinting she has more of a Jedi Guardian type. Jedi Guardians are what Anakin and Obi Wan Kenobi are, they are beings who focus more on their physical bodies and basic force attacks rather than force powers, but Rey use of the force is in her reflex as well as more un combative, but more on that later. However, Rey has good strength to her able to out muscle a wounded Kylo Ren who was using his pain to fuel his Dark Side as well she has good endurance to have a pretty long duel. However, she does have a limit on her physical endurance, my examples are her being able to be knocked out by simple knock out powers. In short Rey is a capable combatant who shoes promise if she shows more refinement.

Strengths: Has good formidable strength to hold against a physically stronger opponent like Kylo Ren, Decent endurance to help fight 8 Praetorian Guards, fast reflexes.

Weakness: Rey does have a physical limit to where she can be knocked out by a powerful blow, though she has a heart that will keep her fighting, she can be over powered.


General Grievous: General Grievous is a cyborg which means he has enhanced strength and speed that of super humans aka Jedi strength and speed, but more on the faster and powerful side. Because General Grievous is a cyborg and he as cybernetic body he doesnt tire, which means he can give an unlimited output of onslaught attacks and not be tired, the General is so fast that he can dodge force base attacks and close the distance quick on his opponents resorting them to Lightsaber combat. The Generals body is also made of DuraSteel which is strong enough to resist light placed Lightsaber strikes making him a walking fighting speedy humanoid tank. The General is also enhanced with Jedi type reflexes as well as the General is pretty finesse when he needs to be. The General also has 4 arms he cause use at his disposal in case one gets hacked off, but regardless The General will always be in the fight til the end.

Strengths: The General has many strengths in this category, from never tiring, to having quick enough reflexes to keep up with Jedi Master leveled duelist,   having superior strength over most Jedi and Sith, having superior speed where the fastest Jedi have a challenging time keeping up. In short General Grievous is a battle machine always ready to fight.

Weakness: There are no real weaknesses to General Greivous's body, despite he only has a few organs and small amounts of tissue and he coughs alot, his body allows him to perform in top condition all the time.

Round 2: Duelist Abilities


Rey by erlanarya. #StarWars #Art #gosstudio .★ We recommend Gift Shop: http://gosstudio.com      VS         


Rey:
Rey is seen in TFA and TLJ dueling with her Lightsaber and staff to enemies and people who would be considered as fairly impressive. My main example is she bested Kylo Ren in a duel on Star Killer Base and held her own, she is seen at her beginning beating up street thugs with her staff as well as she trains often with that staff. In The Last Jedi she is seen taking on Praetorian Guards who are highly trained like General Grievous's Magna Guards, but she out best them as well, but not without taking injury. Rey shows some competence skills in her Lightsaber abilities, being able to put up a defense against Kylo Rens strikes as well as when she had the opportunity she took an offensive of her own against a exhausted, emotionally torn, and wounded Kylo Ren. However, despite all of these types of physical and emotional influences on Kylo Ren he was using his pain to fuel his Darkside rage to combat Rey. Rey has a small sparring match with Luke and technically " Won".

Strengths: Rey has a compressible understanding of combat and has been exposed to it before, she shows that with training she can be promising and powerful. She is able to contend with other Lightsaber wielding foes along with Highly Trained soldiers. Her staff abilities are experienced as well as good formed (If she had a double bladed Lightsaber she would be much more powerful, but alas she doesnt ). However we do see her being able to take on multiple opponents at once who are soldiers and dessert thugs, and she is willing to spar against Grand Master Luke Skywalker. From estimations Reys lightsaber forms are unrefined versions of Form III Soresu on the defense, and mix of Form I Shii Cho & Form II Makashi for the offense, the reason for this is she takes alot of stabs from inexperience, but Makashi focuses on piercing techniques, where as her power strikes come from Shii Cho.

Weakness: Despite her understanding of combat, she lacks a lot of training and experience when it comes to higher skilled Lightsaber duelist and combatants. Rey also relies a lot on her staff, but not enough on her Lightsaber skills, though some argue the skills would transfer allow me to say that is untrue, though some skills may transfer over, not all skills do. Fighting Bo Staff to then switch to Sword is completely different principles and focuses and practice along with form. Rey is good enough to hold her own, but she is unrefined. If anything Rey is a newbie who has new founded powers in raw ability, raw ability is not skill just raw potential granted how powerful that may be. Rey has great potential to become a great swordswoman that can contend with skilled duelist, but she is not on that level yet. Sparring matches are only sparring matches, in which she was disarmed by Luke, thus having her pull a lethal weapon only to get the upper hand against a stick wielding Luke. If Rey were to contend with Luke in an actual Lightsaber duel she would be completely outclassed and quickly dealt with by way of disarming again or losing a limb to a more experienced Lightsaber wielder.  

Grievous: 
Trained by the famous swordsman Count Dooku, Grievous was taught to be unorthodox as well have a high skill in all 7 Lightsaber forms. General Grievous has the skill and experience to be considered a Master Leveled swordsman on Jedi Master Level duelist. The General has had many experiences in fighting clones, other alien races, and of course Jedi. Here are some list of his accomplished fights from greatest powers to least.

1.  Master level/ Sith Lord: Count Dooku, Obi Wan, Kit Fisto, Mace Windu, Eeth Koth, Ala Secura, Shak Tii, Ki Adi Mundi, Darth Maul ( briefly )
2.Jedi Knight/Sith Apprentice: Asajj Ventress, Nahdar Vebb, Roron Corobb, Foul Moudama, Daakman Barrek,
3. Padowan/ Jedi: Ashoka Tano, Sha'a Gi, Tarr Seirr, and much more
4. Arc Troopers
5. Normal Clone Troopers/ Basic military units

The point of this is that Grievous is shown to be really proficient with dueling and has great experience against powerful beings and foes, he is very combat hardened and highly trained enough that he took on groups of Jedi at a time, not just one or two, but groups of high trained Jedi. General Grievous because he has 4 arms can wield 4 Lightsabers at the same time with complete control without damaging himself. Not only this, but the General usually overwhelms his opponents with his onslaught of attacks breaking peoples defensive barriers as well as he can have a devastating onslaught of attacks that makes it perfect for opponents who try to out offense Grievous. This is why the Jedi Council sent Obi Wan Kenobi, because it was near impossible to take an offensive approach against the general, hence why they sent the perfect master of defensive combat. Only the best swordsmen would be able to out duel Grievous. Despite Grevious's successes and experiences, most of his Master Level Jedi he has fought has either beaten him and he escaped or  came to a draw. He only beat one Jedi Master, but it was with the help of his Magna Guards as well. However despite the use of his Magna guards, General Grievous would be able combat Jedi on his own.

Strengths: Grievous is a very renounced swordsman of is time and has the title Jedi Hunter for a reason. He has enhanced abilities and high skill in being trained in Lightsaber combat as well he has a great amount of experience against a huge amount of opponents. General Grievous is the only non force sensitive to successfully engage in Lightsaber combat with Jedi and win. His training and unorthodox style mixed with his never tiring super human cyborg body is a complete devastation against most duelist.

Weakness: The General usually is very prideful and arrogant in his abilities and sometimes underestimates his opponents leaving himself wide open for attacks. The General also puts such a high out put of offense to simply overwhelm his opponents, but if he is stopped in his tracks he usually losses his momentum of the battle. Again if the General doesnt have one of his elements in his battle it could cost him his life, of course this is only a worry against Master Leveled and high skilled Jedi Knights.

Round 3: Tactics


         Star Wars: A New Hope by techgnotic on deviantART  VS  Star Wars: The Force Awakens || Rey


Rey
Rey is normally thinking on her feet when it comes to dealing with adversity. Though not all of her plans work, there are times she shows that she is clever in her abilities to critically think. Rey is no battle tactician in fact she is a lot like Anakin in ways where she is very direct and straight forward. Much like when she charged at Supreme Leader Snoke and was Force Rag dolled. Or when she directly faced Kylo Ren in an initiate offensive assault due to her inexperience, when she realized that she couldn't mount a successful attack she immediately went on the retreat and defensive position evading for most of the fight. However, once the force kicked in her abilities she became more confident and powerful and was able to mount an offense against Kylo Ren and in her battle of Praetorian guards she was able to fight multiple opponents at once showing she had comfort in a fight at that point.  

Stength: Rey is a brave woman who will rise to the challenge of those she faces, she sometimes rushes in, but can quickly realize what works and what doesn't. This is important in a fight when it comes to dueling. Rey is also good at leading her opponents to desirable locations for her own safety. 

Weakness: Much like Anakin Skywalker, Rey is very direct and aggressive at first due to an inexperience she is trying to a get a one shot blow at first. However if this fails it leaves her very vulnerable. Just like her initiative in the Kylo Ren she struck first, but was quickly pushed back on her defense. If Rey isnt careful and doesnt think through her direct actions it could very well cost her life.  

Grievous 
The General was a brilliant tactic mind when it came to battle and war, many regarded him as a legendary leader when it came to fighting his opponents not only be conventional military on military force, but as a duelist as well. General Grievous was a master of using fear and intimidation as well as surprise when facing his opponents. This would cause someone to lose their moral during a fight thus leaving them vulnerable for his onslaught of attacks. General Grievous as well is very bold and fearless when it comes to initiating an assault, but the big difference between him and Rey is that if Grievous takes an initial attack he can back it up with experience and onslaught causing more duelist to on their back foot and defend giving him momentum. Grievous will normally initiate a duel with only 2 arms and 2 light sabers causing the opponent to fall into a false sense of security, but much like his battle with Roron Corobb and Foul Moudama he engaged with only 2 blades at once letting them fall into the false sense, but then once he detached his arms to make 4 arms he surprised them and quickly cut through them. The General took Count Dooku's lessons of dueling to heart and applied them as often as he can making him a brilliant tactician. 

Strengths: Grievous usually plays mind games with his opponents. He enjoys breaking moral and having fear on his side. The General is smart by letting people fall into the false sense of security, but then overwhelming them with a brutal and vicious onslaught. In short he is nothing less than brilliant. He knows how to manipulate a fight to his advantages. 

Weakness: General Grievous is only bested by those who can out think his tactic mind such as Obi Wan Kenobi, Kit Fisto, Count Dooku, and Mace Windu. Also if Grievous's momentum is stopped it normally leads to him pulling a retreat against his opponents or leaving him unable to perform to his fullest ability simply because he cant match against the person out witting him.

Round 4: Force Abilities vs Training against The Force


Cartoons And Heroes — spyrale:     Eddie Holly Artist of the Week - Jeff Carlisle

Rey
Rey is a naturally gifted Force user who is very promising in being powerful in the Force. She pulls off feats that are quite impressive when it comes to levitating objects, mind games, as well as force pull. She also uses the force in order to help guide her in her combat sequences hence explaining some of her feats with combat. 

Strengths: Sense Rey has a lot of force potential we see her using incredible abilities that would take most Jedi years to learn, she is a natural prodigy, but her feats are nothing really impressive compared to other powerful force users. It is only impressive with how quickly she learns abilities. However, if she has enough training and time she can become one of the most powerful force users in the Star Wars universe.   

Weakness: Although her force potential and abilities are impressive she lacks for any combat abilities in the force, she wouldn't be bale to use a mind trick on Grievous because of his Alien race let alone his intelligence and strong will. Grievous would also be able to block out her mind reading because he is so focused on hate that is all she would find is pure rage. 


Grievous
General Grievous again has no force powers what so ever. He is Forceless, but that does not mean he is completely helpless against the use of The Force against him. He was trained by Count Dooku on how to dodge and maneuver around the force and its powerful abilities, only catching him off guard with a force push or power is what will make him lose focus. However, General Grievous has gone up against many powerful Force Wielders who used their advance techniques on him, but he managed to quickly recover or evade the incoming attacks, also he has clawed very powerful cyborg legs and feet that allow him to be planted to the ground at all times if he wishes. He was once pushed by a dragon breath force ability capable of sending hundreds of battle droids flying, but Grievous stood and even advanced through the maximized force push. However, if someone is deadly and quick enough to use Force Crush it would take a high powerful Jedi to collapse Grievous's chest cavity. 

Strengths: General Grievous was trained by Dooku to be a effective combatant against force wielders, either by evasion or tanking a hit. Grievous has learned how to battle the force from his cybernetics. 

Weakness: If caught off guard he could be sent flying into trees or wherever, someone just has to get the surprise on him.

The Battle Scenario:

Mike Nesbitt. Forever one of my favorite pieces of SWTFA fanart!!
Kylo Vs Rey on Star Killer Base Forest ( General Grievous vs Rey here )







The Awakening vs The Jedi Hunter 
A cold wind would blow though the night on the snow covered trees on Star Killer Base. Rey would be in search for her ship, but suddenly she would see a tall Dark figure in a Black shrouded cape standing only a few hundred feet away from her. To Rey's curiosity she would wait to see what the figure would do. In her mind, thoughts would race as to what the figure was. "Was it watching her this whole time?" "What was it?" "Or rather was she being hunted?" filled with worry and fear Rey would Ignite her Lightsaber ready for an attack, her blade would ignite, but the figures cape would be flying through the air, and disappear. Rey would slowly walk through the forest glancing all around each tree and usually looking above her head to see if anything would move. Not being able to see anything in the snow storm all Rey could hear was raspy breathing and occasionally a robotic cough. Grasping her Lightsaber tighter she would be ready for anything that came her way, but suddenly she could hear foot steps, not like any other normal human foot steps, big heavy and metal clanging foot steps, it was close, but unseen and where? Suddenly a giant white figure would descend from the trees causing Rey to dashed forward and evade the crushing attack. As the figure hit the ground with its massive weight a giant snow cloud would rushed up in the air suddenly colored with blue and green lights flashing toward Rey, Glowing Yellow eyes would pierce through the Snow cloud stating in a evil robotic voice: "I am have come to bring your death Jedi, for I am General Grievous, The Greatest Jedi Killer in the Galaxy". Rey was frozen with fright for she has never seen a creature like this before, it was not man or alien, but a Cyborg with 2 Lightsabers. Grievous would begin his onslaught of his assault causing Rey to go on the defensive and block a few strikes, However Rey would quickly recognize she was needing to run away instead of stand and fight. She would be dodging and evading through trees with a constant slashing of the forest being cut down around her, tree and tree would fall with snow cloud after snow cloud rising, but still with the flashes of blue and green lights twirling about them. Grievous would be on the chase and pursuit of the fight. Rey would stand ready to fight Grievous, as the Cyborg General approached her she would use a powerful Force Pull to grab a few heavy fallen trees to try and smash the General. Surprisingly this would catch the General off guard and he would quickly turn to cut the heavy trees into pieces and evade them, but then turn his attention back at Rey. To his surprise Rey would attempt an offensive assault against he General giving her own offensive strikes, The general would be put on his back foot because Rey would be influenced by the Force. As Rey would be in a lockup against the General she would say " Your time is at an end, Monster!" With a uneasy laugh the General would reply " Have you not? You must realize, You. Are. Doomed." Suddenly where he had 2 arms they would now break away into 4 and suddenly 2 more Lightsabers would ignite the snow covered area. From a distance a snow cloud filled with quick green and blue flashes would be seen for a few seconds, but then darkness. As the night wind blew through the snow the only thing that could be heard was 
" Your Lightsaber will make a fine addition to my collection." 

The Alternative
Rey is able to send the trees at Grievous as he strikes them away and dodges them, Rey is able to escape and train in order to face the General again one day.

My Closing Thoughts

In the end of the fight this wouldn't come down to a use of the force to handle her adversary, although Rey tried to use the force it was a failure due to her inexperience with the force during combat. Rey's inexperience with combat and force abilities made her less suitable for combat with the force as well as Lightsabers against a more skilled opponent. Rey normally handles her foes with a Lightsaber. This is proven because she not only engages Kylo Ren or the Praetorian Guards, but Supreme Leader Snoke. This was shown she is very head strong and direct as she charged a more powerful force wielder who rag dolled her, the same could be said she would do the same with Grievous if she had the chance. The thing is Grievous was more superior in every way, even the force abilities category he was so well trained,  he was able to combat more experienced force combative Jedi and better duelist. The best comparison is like a Young Ashoka Tano vs Grievous, normally she would shortly engage, but then she would have to retreat, only Rey isnt Tano. Rey might retreat for a moment, but if she sees an opportunity she attacks head on and that poor combat decision costed her dearly.  


My Personal Experience and Thoughts
Again I have had almost 15+ Years of Sword Play experience, although I cant speak for ways of the force, I know enough in the dueling abilities which is what this fight would come down to. This is really a person who is a beginner who shows promising potential going against a seasoned warrior. This was a little bit of an unfair fight really, not because of  a bias, but really its pitching a novice to combat (although she fared well against highly trained Praetorian Guards), but General Grievous is en entirely different category. The chances are highly likely in the favors of General Grievous. In the End General Grievous, The Jedi Hunter, wins this contest 9/10 times.
