[[folder:Bendak Starkiller]]
!!Bendak Starkiller
!!!'''Species:''' Human
!!!'''Homeworld:''' Taris

A legendary duelist who has long since retired after deathmatches became illegal. But is still looking for find a worthy opponent in one last deathmatch.
----
* AssholeVictim: If you decide to face him in a deathmatch and kill him, not only will he die, but so will his legend. And rightfully so, seeing how dickish and bloodthirsty he is. Even Ajuur the duel organizer says killing him is a good thing considering what a maniac he is.
* BrokenPedestal: Ice used to idolize him as a child. After meeting him when she began her dueling career, she loses all respect for him and adapts a cold personality in hopes to survive in the dueling world.
* ChallengeSeeker: Retired from dueling after deathmatches became illegal, he doesn't hang with the other duelists as he sees them as being out of his league. Although if you beat the other duelists, he'll see you as a worthy challenge and offer to fight you to the death.
* DirtyCoward: Zig-zagged. It's implied that one of the reasons why he never leaves the cantina is due to the bounty he got placed on his head (in addition to making it his home). On the other hand, he's more than willing to fight you to the death to collect his bounty if you beat the other duelists.
* TheDreaded: People are afraid to step into the ring with him due to his high body count. If you agree to fight him, the other duelists will think you're crazy and don't think you would stand a chance against him.
* {{Jerkass}}: Rude, egotistical, and condescending to anyone who talks to him. He'll even laugh at you if you challenge him to a duel and say you'll beat the other duelers.
* PriceOnTheirHead: Due to his infamous dueling career and bloodthirsty nature, he is seen as a threat by the Taris government and gets a bounty placed on his head. The only way to collect it is to face him in a deathmatch.
* RetiredMonster: A duelist with 100 kills to his name and is quite proud of his legacy. He retired from dueling due to deathmatches becoming illegal. Though he yearns to step into the ring again to add another kill to his tally.

JerkassHasAPoint, on its own, is a trope that is well-defined. What it's about is a {{Jerkass}} character makes a valid argument. And the requirement for it is to have the others acknowledge that the Jerkass is indeed right. It even says on the page itself that it's Administrivia/InUniverseExamplesOnly. In spite of this, it has suffered from massive TropeDecay; people treat it like it's StrawmanHasAPoint, where the audience uses the trope and acknowledges that the Jerkass does indeed have a point without any consideration on whether or not other characters make the same assessment. I made a [[wick check]] to see how it was misused and here are the results:

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Ahlan is something of a snob and hates Nurik Sandral with a seething passion. He comes to the Jedi hoping they can rescue his son Shen from the Sandrals. And after the confrontation, Ahlan makes it clear that he thinks little of his son, saying that he's too stupid to think on his own.
* RichBitch: Gender-inverted version. If Rahasia's words are anything to go by, Ahlan is a rich asshole who looks down upon

* IHaveNoSonIHaveNoSon: Implied after Rahasia and Shen run away together if their fathers haven't made up. The former says both of them cut them off, leaving them on their own. Thankfully, the Jedi Temple has given them a place to live.

PENDING RESULTS

Admittedly, there was more correct usage than I thought. But still yet, the misuse I pointed out is still greater in size. I do have some ideas:

1. Turn JerkassHasAPoint into an AudienceReaction page and move examples there into YMMV.
2. The concept of the trope itself, where Jerkass characters make their valid points with other characters agreeing, is tropable, but maybe it can be made under a new name. Because the idea itself is workable. But this needs to be reinvented.
