Matches[]

- Kanan Jarrus vs. The Inquisitor
- Winner: The Inquisitor
- "Kanan was simply not ready for this confrontation. The Inquisitor accurately gauges Kanan's skills and counters his every move. The dark warrior emerges from the duel victorious."
- Hera Syndulla vs. TIE fighter pilot
- Winner: Hera Syndulla
- "The TIE pilot is convinced he will soundly defeat this insurgent in the air, but he is outclassed in close combat. Hera lands a kick that sends the pilot's black flight helmet spinning."
- Chopper vs. Lothal astromech droid
- Winner: Chopper
- "Chopper shows no mercy. Spinning his head as he charges, Chopper delivers a flurry of smacks from his upper arms, which crack the other astromech's done, causing it to retreat."
- IG-RM thug droid vs. Old Jho
- Winner: IG-RM thug droid
- "Old Jho's spirit is willing, but age has taken a toll on his muscles and relfexes. The thug droid overpowers the aged Ithorian. If only the rebels were there to help!"
- Ghost vs. TIE fighter
- Winner: Ghost
- "The Imperial advantage in starfighter combat is numerical superiority. With only one TIW fighter to contend with, the Ghost outmaneuvers its lone opponent and blasts it to cinders."
- Imperial speeder bike vs. AT-DP
- Winner: Imperial speeder bike
- "Though the bike's guns can't dent the hull of the armored walker, a daring pilot like Sabine points the speeder straight at the AT-DP leg assembly, and jumps for safety. When the bike hits the walker's legs, the resulting explosion causes the walker to collapse."
- jumpspeeder vs. RGC landspeeder
- Winner: jumpspeeder
- "The rebels pride themselves on taking down larger targets. Sabine's skillfully blasts the RGC speeder with her twin blasters while steering with her kness, crippling the bigger vehicle."
- Wookiee gunship vs. Imperial freighter
- Winner: Wookiee gunship
- "Though smaller than the frieghter, the Wookiee vessel outguns the Imperial ship, which can onlu aim a single turret on its enemy at a time. The Wookiee cannons tear through the frieghter as they escape."
- C-ROC carrier ship vs. Imperial Star Destroyer
- Winner: Imperial Star Destroyer
- "Although the C-ROC flies wildly to avoid being hit by the Star Destroyer's cannons that fill its flight path with bursts of destructive energy, it is not fast enough to dodge all the weapon fire. A glancing blow sends it spinning out of control."
- V-35 landspeeder vs. Imperial troop transport
- Winner: Imperial troop transport
- "The transport's thick armor holds as the speeder crumples in the collision. Even when the V-35's power plant explodes, the transport emerges through the smoke and fire unscathed."
- Phantom vs. TIE fighter
- Winner: Phantom
- "The Phantom's speed and Kanan's relfexes allow it to stay several moves ahead of the TIE fighter's cannon, letting it slip behind the enemy ship and blow it away.
- Supply Master Lyste vs. Tsoklo
- Winner: Supply Master Lyste
- "A spineless collaborator, Tsoklo cowardly throws himself on the Empire's mercy, only to discover it has none."
- AT-DP pilot vs. Morad Sumar
- Winner: Morad Sumar
- "Morad refuses to surrender, so the pilot tries to club him with his gun. Twisting out of the pilot's reach, Morad pushes the jogan fruit into the helmeted face of the Imperial. The squishy pulp of the fruit blocks the pilot's lenses, letting Sumar knock him over."
- loth-cat vs. fyrnock
- Winner: loth-cat
- "The confrontation is violent but the loth-cat manages to move th fight with the shadow predator into the sunlight. There, the fyrnock cringes at the brightness, and the loth-cath attacks."
- Cikatro Vizago vs. Wullffwarro
- Winner: Wullffwarro
- "The stun effect engulfs the Wookiee, but Wullffwarro's furious surprise only wakes him up. He charges at the Devoronian, thrashing him so soundly Cikatro should probably rename his gang 'The Broken Bones.'"
- Dev Morgan vs. Zare Leonis
- Winner: Dev Morgan
- "Though Zare is in peak physical shape, Dev shows an incredible knack at predicting where the platforms will be. With good sportsmanship, Zare concedes defeat, but decides he'll have to keep an eye on this newbie Dev Morgan."
- Amda Wabo vs. Maketh Tua
- Winner: Amda Wabo
- "Though both combatants are more bureacrats than warriors. Wabo has had more firsthand experience with armed conflict than the cultured Maketh Tua."
- Phantom vs. tibidee
- Winner: Phantom
- "Hera refuses to open fire on the innocent creature, so it's a matter of outrunning the beast. It's a close call, but she pilots the ship out of the canyon with only a few scratches and drool stains on the hull."
- R2-D2 vs. RX-series pilot droid
- Winner: R2-D2
- "R2-D2 will not take no for an answer, and weathers a flurry of RX's slaps before he shuts down the pilot with a well armed shock prod."
- C-3PO vs. Lothal protocol droid
- Winner: C-3PO
- "C-3PO shows an uncharacteristic burst of initiative when facing down an unintimidating opponent, and shoves the droid away from the launch controls, sending it crashing down a set of stairs."
- Zeb Orrelios vs. Agent Kallus
- Winner: Agent Kallus
- "Kallus knows how to push Zeb's buttons. The enraged Lasat is too angry to concentrate, and Kallus takes advantage of Zeb's rushed attacks to get the upper hand."
- Kanan & Ezra vs. The Inquisitor
- Winner: The Inquisitor
- "Kanan and Ezra need to work better as a team if they are to beat the Inquisitor. The dark warrior can sense his advantage, and the two heroes barely escape."
- Ghost vs. Inquisitor's TIE Advanced
- Winner: Ghost
- "It is a shot fired by Ezra from the Phantom's rear guns that knocks the TIE out of pursuit. The Inquisitor is forced to slow down and slip out of firing range, which lets the Ghost leap into hyperspace."
