The matchups as I see them:
- Yoda and Sidious are the best here, so they fight.
- Vader is going after Kenobi because he hates him.
- Dooku goes after Mace because of the Geonosis arena incident.
- Ahsoka and Maul fight, but she has to contend with the loyalty of Savage to Maul. She gets the 2v1.
- Ventress and Luke are left.
Neutral ground gives Yoda the win. He disarmed Sidious and can hold back his lightning. No high ground for Sidious, he is outmatched. It’s a longer fight because the two are evenly matched.
ROTS Kenobi and ROTJ Vader are evenly matched, so this drags out for a while, too. Kenobi wins due to lack of stamina on Vader’s part. The Disney novelization of ROTJ states that Vader is tired out by the duel with Luke. Kenobi’s defense wears him down.
Upset alert: Dooku beats Mace. Yes, Mace disarmed Sidious, but Dooku has beaten Mace in a duel before, and they have both grown substantially, but I’m giving Dooku the edge via force powers.
Mando Ahsoka lost a saber to a non-force user. That’s a significant anti-feat from her ability to duel an amped Vader, and she technically lost to Maul on Mandalore. She is stronger here, yes, but the duo is too much for her.
Luke is beating Ventress, but it’s not easy. She is extremely experienced, Luke has never faced an opponent like her, and he is stated to be lower in sabers than Yoda and ROTS Obi Wan.
That leaves Yoda, Luke, and Kenobi versus Dooku, Maul, and Savage.
- Dooku fights Yoda
- Kenobi fights Maul
- Luke fights Savage
Dooku’s task is to hold off Yoda long enough for one of his teammates to get a win, so I will discuss their battles first.
ROTS Kenobi is better than TCW Maul, Kenobi wins mid diff.
Luke has his hands full with Savage. It sounds ridiculous and feels ridiculous to type it, but Savage walked through Jedi Masters during the clone wars. He choked Dooku and Ventress at the same time, and didn’t immediately die to Sidious, like three Jedi Masters did, including Kit Fisto. The brute force, magic enhanced Zabrak loses, but it makes Luke work for it.
Yoda eventually defeats Dooku alone.
The light side wins, but once Sidious fell, it was pretty much over because it would take two higher than the Maul and Savage duo to beat Yoda, and at no point did the dark side have that option. No one is rushing to Sidious’s aid.
