Obi Wan is by far my favorite Star Wars character and jedi
@davepegington90668 ай бұрын
Obi wan dominated from episode 1to3 I've got some problems with the TV show obi wan even though it was entertaining. And Ewan McGregor is a great actor. I don't rate Alec Guinness though and his battle in a new hope was a dud. I wish they would do a Luke Skywalker series. I think if we saw his life between return of the jedi and force awakens with his level of force which is higher than anyone's probably I'll change my mind

I will say Ashoka Tano wasn't bad, wasn't amazing or anything. Also the first 2 season of Mandalorian were ok but i thought the last season kinda sucked.

In my opinion Obi Wan is the greatest jedi out of all the jedi of his time , even Yoda. He beat multiple opponents that he was supposed to lose too. And ended up being far wiser than them all. Ben was a beast!!!!!

Obi Wan is not expected to be great and this is why he became great for his humility and being faithful to the force through and through
@davepegington90668 ай бұрын
Obi wan is responsible for not keeping anakin away from the dark and thus the end of the jedi order. It's also in canon lore that obi wan was not as strong with the force as other members of the council, so instead focused on lightsaber dueling. I've observed obi wan display some arrogance also. First of all the battle with Darth maul springs to mind, as he attacked with pure rage and aggression. Doesn't fit a character with humility. Secondly is the battle with Darth grievous. In my opinion obi wan was mocking and taunting grevious. You have to admit this isn't humility either. My take on obi wan is that he's fairly balanced with the force and also wise and cautious too. But most of all has tons of experience from being on the front line, and I think this is what makes him so formidable. He's a seasoned veteran. This is best exemplified by obi wans last battle with Vader, where we see caution . Not aggressively rushing into battle, and using a combination of force and saber dueling to prevail. The likes of which I've never seen in any other jedi including Darth Vader, sidious, Yoda or mace windu. Obi wan was managing to parry/strike while simultaneously hurl boulders. Tbh though it does leave me wondering about the authenticity of this battle Basically every time we see a jedi like Yoda who specialises in force use move a large object like the X wing stuck in the swamp on dagobah. We see him have to focus and concentrate. Even Luke in the cave in hoth has to focus for a few moments to get his saber. But somehow obi wan was managing to hurl boulders with almost zero concentration while in active saber combat with Vader ??? And he could raise a ton of boulders above his head without even having to face and focus on them like the before mentioned characters... And then hurling one at a time in rapid succession with seemingly no focus required?? We don't even see Yoda doing that in his duel against dooku deflecting attacks Leaves me wondering if Disney took liberties in creating a good battle and went beyond obi wans limitations (or any jedis limitations)

The only reason the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ was good in my opinion was because Ewen McGregor was one of the producers and directors of the show. And Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader were things that made it not in the total control of Disney's BS writers/producers and directors. McGregor and Christensen made the show good.

So he would have looked at normal speed for Maul as well! So yeah, that still doesn’t explain away how this somehow worked!?!

9:21- Um, in that……. show “Obi-Wan” didn’t Darth Vader fight Kenobi twice on that planet?!? The first time technically Darth Vader won and the second time Obi-Wan Kenobi technically won!?! I’ve said this before about the newer shows and movies (including the Ashoka show) that Disney is clearly messing up the whole story and lore of Star Wars!!! And they either need to stop changing things that have already been stated in lore and/or just create new characters without backstories that would also change things!!! Yeah, it’s not as easy as it sounds but if I can do it just by thinking about it for a bit then there is no excuse why someone getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and sometimes millions of dollars to make up new stories for movies shouldn’t be able to do the same!!! Actually, I’m writing my own graphic novel now that someday I want to get published and be a part of the huge world of Star Wars! And I was able to do it all without changing existing characters!!! I won’t go into too much detail about it but I’m already on my 2nd draft of part 1 and I think it’s pretty good…… But I also don’t have much time to dedicate to it so I guess it could be better if I did!?!

I guess its my head cannon and really Obi Wan lore, but Mace Windu is a powerful duelist. Yoda is more powerful in the force. Even Ahsoka is trained to be a far more formidable fighter. Obi Wan is the best because he believes. He lets himself be the tool that the force needs and is used by the living force as a agent of destiny.

41:40- Yeah, this part kinda kills me also! Like I get why it had to end with Kenobi still alive but the writers should have put a lot more thought and time into the making of the conclusion of this battle and technically this movie!?! I mean they could have had the final battle between good and evil in a different area and/or just a different surrounding that could have explained why and how Obi-Wan won even though he was clearly weaker and how Darth Maul lost but was still alive!!! Because once you remember that Darth Maul had the force and could move things without being near it or touching it this scene makes no sense!!! Not to mention the fact that saber throw existed! There was hundreds of ways Darth Maul could have made his foe fall to his death! Two Huge ones are a nice little saber throw that Obi-Wan would either have to let go and fall or have his hands cut off and then fall! Or just the fact that Maul could just use the force to pry Obi-Wan’s fingers back and possibly breaking each one and then just letting go and watch his for fall to his death!!! Both would have been very easy for him to do and both should have been at least among the first few options he thought of almost immediately! But instead we got what we got! And yeah, that made Darth Maul look like a idiot and also takes away from the high ground being a thing!?! I could list many options that they do have done and how if I can think of them without putting much thought and effort into it (meaning I thought of these on the drive home from watching this movie the first time) then there’s no reason why the writers that this is their job to do this couldn’t of done the same before making the movie but this is already too long so I’ll leave it here!

It wasn't Obi-Wan's fault for Anakin turning. He did everything he could to help him. He even hid his marriage because he wanted Anakin to be happy. Just so many factors are involved in his turn. The Council, Palpatine and Anakin himself are all too blame. But not Obi-Wan.
@kylegardner62728 ай бұрын
Anakin never took accountability for his actions. Anakin was who he was as a child where he would make mistakes and still find blame else where. When he was defeated on Mustafar his hate for Obi didn't come from how he was treated but the mere fact that he loss and was blaming Obi Wan for his pain and losing his limbs though it was Anakins choice to jump. To feel bad for Anakin is borderline psychopathic
