@WhoWouldWin13 Joanna has the height, reach and weight advantage here. If anyone has seen the scene in Dark Crystal where Skeksil had his clothes ripped from him, they know that Skeksis like Skeksil are a bit on the thin side:

@WhoWouldWin13 Corse, Joana Is thin too, but not THAT thin. Indeed, she has far better muscle tone, and unlike Skeksil, she's in the prime of her life, young and more energetic. Skeksil could claw and snap his beak, but Joanna could easily get around those natural weapons, beating him worse

@WhoWouldWin13 than she beat Valérie Letourneau (girl looked like a Klingon by the time that fight was over!).

However, Skeksil does have some other advantages to bear, such as a skeksis sword, which he used in the famous trial by stone scene (as seen above). He also has control over the

@WhoWouldWin13 Garthim, huge insect-like monsters that are super strong and snappy, in more ways than one (see the following video, starting at time 1:08:

@WhoWouldWin13 Indeed, in a later scene, several Skeksis together command the arrival of the Garthim to battle (though strangely, they all have the voice of the new emperor in the scene. Perhaps they were instead using magic without speaking while the emperor summoned his horde.

@WhoWouldWin13 Thus, Joanna could soon be outnumbered in this fight.

However, if the Garthim are not around, or if the New Emperor is needed to summon them to battle (He was in charge of the Garthim before gaining the throne)...then he's kaput! Indeed, considering Joanna's speed and

@WhoWouldWin13 ferocity, Skeksil will probably be defeated before he gets a chance to summon the Garthim.

Thus, I conclude...

@WhoWouldWin13 JOANNA JUMPS SKEKSIL!!!!!!
