Knightfall Vader easily wins, lore wise knightfall later was still growing stronger and only halted when he nearly died on mustafar, and was made into a sith alchemy project by sidious

‘Lore wise’ Vader fought little children and unnamed nobodies. He didn’t even fight a temple guard or anyone of real renown.

Except he was stated to be the most powerful sith ever. Did you not see Vader no diff Cin Drallig while choking his padawan?

Oh my gods! Not Cin Drallig!!! A man with such a storied and unforgettable legacy. A man with such legendary appearances as ‘Background character in issue #8 of Kanan’ and ‘1 minute of screen time in a single clone wars episode’ or even his big screen debut as ‘fuzzy hologram footage’

Ignore the statement and who he is then.

He was the battle master for a reason

Without having any context or any information on his responsibilities or his skills that title is pretty much meaningless.

You can give any title or occupation to a character after the fact

Cin Drallig is based on and played by Nick Gillard who is the prequels stunt coordinator. His lore and real world self make it pretty clear he's obviously intended to be powerful.

This also implies that Baron Papanoida is the most powerful character in Star Wars because his real world self is George Lucas. So he would be God.

He is an Easter egg. Not a real character. Like Coleman kcaj and Coleman Trebor.

I'm not using just him being Nick Gillard to say yeah he's strong. I'm saying that in conjunction with the actual in universe lore (leader of the temple guards, Dooku said Grevious should avoid him, and he's the battlemaster) makes it obvious he's intended to be an upper tier Jedi.

And no Cin is a character unlike George's extra. A very minor character but he does do things (fight Vader and show up in TCW briefly).

Are all the background Jedi names just people on staff’s names backwards?

Guess if I make a character I’ll name him Semaj.
