    As the title asks, who is the greatest Sith slayer of the Saga?

    Obi-Wan / Ben Kenobi: slayed Darth Maul.

    [​IMG]

    After the Sith Lord Maul killed his Jedi Master Qui-Gon, with his rage Obi-Wan held his own against the Sith Lord, however he still got disarmed and thrown into the melting pit. When Maul got overconfident, and underestimated his unarmed opponent, Kenobi caught Maul off-guard and cut him in two.

    But this was still not enough to defeat the Sith Lord, by using the Dark Side, Maul managed to stay alive after receiving help from Nightsister Talzin. After causing so much trouble in the Clone Wars, 17 years after he found Kenobi on Tatooine, and this time the Jedi Master finally managed to stop the Sith.

    Anakin Skywalker: slayed Darth Tyranus.

    [​IMG]

    After getting trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Jedi arts for years, Jedi apprentice Anakin's first encounter with Tyranus, a.k.a Count Dooku didn't go so well. During the Clone Wars, they fought with Dooku many times, however their duel in the Invisible Hand was going to be the last.

    [​IMG]

    Rey Skywalker: slayed Darth Sidious.

    [​IMG]

    After defeating Kylo Ren on Starkiller Base, and surviving Snoke with the help of Kylo Ren, she finally got trained by Leia Organa for a short time and then she faced with Palpatine, her grandfather. Although both Ben Solo and Rey lost to Sidious at the beginning, with the help of the past Jedi knights she was able to fight again and defeat Sidious once and for all.

    I'm going with Obi-Wan mainly because he didn't just kill Maul, but killed him twice. Plus I believe Maul was the most powerful of those mentioned, at least at the time of their demise. Dooku wasn't as skilled of a combatant as Maul, even if he may have had a better mastery of the dark side. And well, in TROS, Palps is essentially on life support, and in a diminished state desperately seeking a host for the spirit of the Sith to continue. This is not to say Palps wasn't still powerful, but he wasn't at the height of his power and ability as he was in ROTJ.

    I'm going to go with Rey because by that point Palpatine had become almost cartoonishly powerful.

    I'm voting for Anakin. Technically he has 2 to his credit. Tyrannus and Sidious (and yes I am counting Sidious because the ST bringing him back so that Rey could undercut Anakin's sacrifice was ridiculous.) IMO the moment Vader chose Luke over Palps, he was Anakin Skywalker and Vader no longer.

    Hmm. I’m going to say Anakin because he has Dooku and Sidious to his name. Dooku was an insanely impressive win.

    Obi-Wan has Maul (x2) who isn’t as impressive as Dooku or Sidious. And Rey has Sidious, but technically she had the help of all the Jedi so it wasn’t all her doing.

    Whether something is ridiculous to someone or not hardly matters one bit. No idea why that should even matter here though, because Anakin did kill Sidious in ROTJ, regardless of whether he returned or not.

    I don't think there's much of a definite choice really. There simply weren't enough Sith around for anyone to kill lots of them. Not to mention that there is a difference between besting someone in combat and stabbing someone in the back (literally or figuratively), as well as a difference between Sith in terms of their skills. And on top of that, there is also the amount of chances someone had. E.g. Obi Wan might have killed Maul, while Yoda and Mace Windu never killed a Sith, but they very well could have if they had been in Obi Wan's place.

    They might have killed him or not, I agree. But we know that Yoda had the chance to kill a Sith in Episode II, but still Dooku managed to escape, also as well as Mace Windu had the chance to kill a Sith, Maul in the Clone Wars, when they faced with each other in the Mandalorian Outpost (Son of Dathomir comic book, canon) Maul also managed to escape after dueling with Mace Windu and Aayla Secura.

    I think the plot is important here. Kenobi needed to be the one to kill Maul because Maul killed Qui-Gon, and he needed to face with him just like Luke needed face with Vader, who killed Obi-Wan. So as far as the plot goes, only Obi-Wan should've killed Maul, because it was Obi-Wan's story and Maul killed Obi-Wan's Jedi master Qui-Gon.

    Its the same for Dooku, Dooku lost duels before to even Maul's apprentice Savage Opress, and later to a Jedi, Quinlan Vos, Dooku survived all of that due to plot because Dooku needed to be killed by Anakin because Anakin lost his arm to Dooku, and Anakin wanted revenge and that was going to be an important piece in Anakin's choice to turn to the dark side.

    For me, it's either Obi-Wan or Anakin. Anakin for killing Sidious in ROTJ (I don't count his resurrection in TROS because he fell down a massive chasm and was blown up by the Death Star, so the dude counts as dead to me), and Obi-Wan for killing Maul (I consider him to have died in TPM because he got chopped in half and fell down a massive pit, so the dude counts as dead to me after that) and maiming Anakin in ROTS.

    1. Anakin Skywalker (kills the real Emperor)

    2. Obi-Wan Kenobi (kills Darth Vader in Episode III)

    3. Rey (kills the clone of the Emperor)

    Anakin because he killed Count Dooku AND Palpatine.

    I can't really say Obi-Wan because Dooku owned him every time they met and Yoda wouldn't let him face Palpatine.

    Rey was a cartoon fighting a cartoon so I can't really count that.

    Gotta be Anakin. He's the only one who really did it on his own. Not to mention he destroyed Darth Vader as well, in a sense.

    Forgot about that.

    Palpatine, Vader, and Dooku is a nice Sith slaying resume.

    I feel like to review it quantitatively, it depends on how one interprets Palpatine's "I am all the Sith" line

    If he implies that past Sith are literally living through him, then Rey sorta kinda committed heroic genocide and killed 1000 years of people in one go

    If he was speaking figuratively, then Anakin has the highest kill count, with Dooku, Palpatine the first time, and metaphorically himself as Vader

    I voted for Anakin, because he killed 3 Sith Lords.
    First, he killed Darth Tyrannus in the beginning of RotS.
    Second (and third too), he killed Darth Sidious by making him do a header into the reactor core (or where ever that shaft in the Emperor's Throne Room went), and as he put down Sidious, he got a freebie by Palpy's Force Lightning killing Darth Vader.

    Of course, I guess that credit for Lord Sidious' death has to be shared with Rey Palpatine because Darth Greedious (Mickey) threw away Ani's sacrifice by making Palps the big bad for the ST.

    Rey killed Darth Sidious' clone. Anakin killed both Darth Tyrannus and the original Darth Sidious.

    I'm going with the greatest Jedi Slayer/Chosen One, he killed all the sith and most powerful Sith.

    He killed Count Dooku
    He killed Darth Sidious
    He killed Darth Vader, from a certain point of view

    Obi-Wan and Vader, felt like Anakin was dead, consumed by Darth Vader. I believe when Darth Vader chose to save like, he killed Vader and once again became, Anakin Skywalker The Chosen One
