Top 10 Times Obi-Wan Kenobi Outsmarted His Opponents

[@WatchMojo]

How excited are you for the Obi-Wan Kenobi series? Let us know! If you've seen the first 2 episodes already, please no spoilers!

[@christophercraig6738]

I've seen the first two episode, and they were awesome!

[@Snipermaniac-sw6sf]

Watched them and already love the series

Imagine spending decades to find a man, find out he’s old, and then getting beaten by him in three hits. Even when you have your double-sided lightsaber.

[@bryankutchens7495]

watched star wars rebels last may the 4th and I felt the final battle with maul and obi wan was anti-climactic. but I didn't realize those moves were taken right from qui gon vs maul. pretty cool.

[@shortesnameofalltime]

[@AirbenderHawk]

"HELLO THERE." Using brains and brawn along with the force is definitely his wildcard throughout his career, currently waiting for episode 3 next week. This is good timing as I just watched Kenobi last night.

[@jacobydaboss]

For Obi-Wan having the high ground on Anakin, Obi knew what he was thinking since he pulled the same move on Darth Maul in episode one.

[@svenskhund3603]

Didnt even know that Obi was making Krait Dragon noises. Thats actually a really interesting detail that winded up being a big part of Tuskin culture.

[@eddiebanks3583]

After watching episode 2 I thought he was impersonating Anakin the boogie man of Tustin raider culture

[@michaelgualtieri651]

A moment that I think deserves to be on this list somewhere: *"Dis-arming Savage Opress" from "The Clone Wars"* After learning Maul and Savage are building their own army of criminals, Obi-Wan and fellow Jedi master Adi Gallia head to Florrum to confront the Sith brothers in their own duels. However, Savage delivers a fatal blow to Gallia, finishing her off permanently. Than alone with two lightsabers, Obi-Wan fights off the Brothers. During the fight though, Obi-Wan keeps striking at Savage's knee repeatedly, weakening the Zabrak. This allows an opportunity for the Jedi to deliver a devastating blow to Savage, cutting off his left arm.

And that he went out to beat Maul because he's half red but also half........Oh, no that's just sad.....(To be fair, I actually applaud Mister Neeson for admitting having a racist reaction and talking about how he wasn't proud of it, and how he changed. It's so easy to say "I don't see skin complexion" or that kind of B.S......and obviously I applaud people who truly never have the shadow of a racist thought, but next to them are the people who are able to admit what's wrong and willing to change as far as I'm concerned.).......But If I'm being 100% honest, I really truly honestly need to say........Savage Opress is such a stupid name.

Great video :) For me number 1 is I have the high ground scene :)

[@chiefcombo3900]

I know the highground became a meme and still somewhat funny to this day. I'm just now realizing obi-wan did tell anakin he has the high ground but, he actually is giving him a warning like a last chance, literally telling him his plan but his brother was blinded by rage. And Obi-Wan could've killed him with that slash but chose to amputate him as means of mercy instead of killing his fallen to the darkside brother..

[@madelinegarber7860]

True. But he also probably thought he’d get consumed by the lava. Tbh, he might have been better off. I don’t know if you’ve watched the first 2 episodes of Kenobi yet. I’m

[@chiefcombo3900]

@@madelinegarber7860 ofc I've seen them as soon they came out. Obi-Wan couldn't finish him and I agree he thought the lava would take him but, at the same time he couldn't watch his little brother die he needed to leave. Obi-Wan lost so much on his journey especially to maul but yet he still maintains his faith in the jedi and that is strong dedication to even be committed to that once so many things has been lost to him. And by its a miracle he hasn't turned and with anakin that's a whole another story to unravel.

[@madelinegarber7860]

@@chiefcombo3900 absolutely agreed. His faith in the jedi despite their flaws and hthe fact that he never turned to the dark side was inspiring. But I definitely think cutting down Anakin was the hardest thing he ever had to do and as we saw it still haunts him. But the state Anakin’s in physically at the end of ep2 was what I was referring to. Honestly, the last few minutes of that episode broke my heart. Obi Wan’s reaction when he realized that Anakin was almost worse than dead was so sad to watch.

[@SpikeTheWolf]

Did he really sacrifice his death to inspire others? Thought it was to buy them time ?

[@BooBop1987]

Nice List!

[@walmartpimp2]

Can you imagine if Obi-Wan had Anakin's midochlorian count? He'd be unstoppable.

[@RevanSecura]

there's one set of lines from the Knights of the old republic that Anakin could have used in Return of the Jedi while breathing his last breath and they're used by Darth Malak after you deal the final blow. "in the end as the darkness takes me I am nothing."

[@skirnireta1003]

The thing is, Vader, or then, Anakin Skywalker, died in the light. That's also why he was seen back then as a force ghost (A bit contradicting the lore about the force ghosts.) Additional, when you listening to the music when Palpatines force lightning tortures Luke, and Vader is looking between the two, the music sounds like, something deep inside him is fighting out from the depth of his soul, and finally releases with the light side of the force tune, as Vader throws Palpatine down the shaft. That's when he became Anakin Skywalker, and fullfilling the prophecy of destroying the Sith. His Master, and his evil self.

[@matthewchelette9088]

There is also the Clone wars movie when Obi-wan distracted General Loathsom and Ventress. Also Obi-wan used the force on the stormtroopers to get through on Tatooine, and the Death Star.

[@bestboiduke9395]

Probably one of the best instances where Obi-Wan outsmarted an opponent was during the Siege of Christophsis, where he deliberately stalled time in “negotiations” with the CIS general Whorm Loathsom, allowing Anakin and Ahsoka to disable the confederacy’s shields and giving the Republic forces the ability to bombard the droids with artillery.

[@crimsonvoid1595]

Most Mandalorians have been trained to fight Jedi which is why Obi Wan had such a hard time with Jango. And also, the reason why Grievous was always coughing was because when he abducted Palpatine Mace Windu crushed the aforementioned plating around his organs which is shown in the original Clone Wars miniseries granted it doesn’t have to do with Obi Wan but still an interesting fact. And Palpatine told Vader the same thing Obi Wan did upon Star Killer’s Death in Force Unleashed.
