So... Basically you're saying screw the Republic and handing them a win they didn't earn?
First, I really,
really, get disgusted by this sort of mentality - it is exactly the same mentality on both sides with opposing perspectives - so, yes, if you really,
really, want to simplify it - yes I am giving them a "win they did not earn" for going toe-to-toe in a physical match against a master wearing ridiculous armor and holding a sword that lights things on fire, while being unable to use the force and rather young and physically less capable, and dealing with said master that was battering them with force lightning and noticing a way to ensure the lightning stopped and also give themselves control over the battle.
Am I saying screw the Republic? No. But if you're going to deduce such from my very generalized statement, then by all means go with it. If I was able to get more posts in before the deadline there is a good chance I could have turned the battle over in my favor, but what-if's do not decide fights, duels, or anything else. This character is an NFU that was going up against a master wearing 40 KGs of alchemized steel armor, wielding the force, and still came out to this point with a clear advantage that put the battle in their favor. If you want to take away from
that and stick to a "I want to win, not ever lose" mentality, go ahead and do it.
But I'm not going to stoop to that level nor am I going to be a braggart and try to claim a win that I clearly did not have.
