Kenobi definitely takes the saber duel without a problem. Only Sith to have defeated Obi-Wan was the Count and that was simply because of his superior experience and his dueling style that was perfectly suited for blade on blade combat.
Lol yes, and he had only ever faced 2 Sith! 1 out if 2 doesn't mean anything, plus he beat Maul by luck, you could say, Maul defeated Kenobi by tossing him into the pit but then Kenobi got lucky and won.
And Dooku pwned Kenobi because he was superior to Kenobi in every way.
Oh, but only one Sith Lord has ever defeated Luke in combat!
"Heavily seasoned"? Dude he has ben a Jedi Knight for 10 years. Plus that doesn't matter, Bane, after a few months of training, was already one of the stronger Sith in the academy, Anakin, after 13 years, was already stronger than almost any Jedi ever, Luke, after 4 years, was able to get past Vader's defenses so how seasoned you are doesn't always make that much of a difference.
Dude, all Jedi get sent on missions, you do know that, don't you? Kenobi wasn't sent to fulfill every mission, there are 10,000 Jedi in the order.
Besides Obi-Wan's style is more aggressive in Epsidoe 2, and Luke doesn't really have a style at all. he just swings the lightsaber around like Babe Ruth on coke.
Bad choreography is no excuse. And Luke's style pwnd Jabba's Guards and took down Vader, who would definitely beat Kenobi. And how is Kenobi's style more agressive than Luke's? Luke's style is hacking away at opponents, Kenobi uses the graceful forum of Soresu.
He did Force Choke 2 Gamorrean Guards at the same time, with ease, that's fairly impressive. And what has AOTC Kenobi done with the Force?
He didn't? If I remember correctly (and I do), it was ROTS Kenobi who survived the Purge, not AOTC Kenobi, and there's a sizable gap between AOTC and ROTS Kenobi. And, he did survive by luck. All the other Jeid who died were walking, or riding ships with Clones riding with them. Kenobi was the only one (that we saw) who was a considerable distance away from the Clones, and was moving at high speeds while they were stationary. Even then he fell down a huge distance, probably several hundred feet, and what are the chances of him landing in a pool of water deep enough to save him? And yet he does. That is not skill, it's luck. Even that Clone says "No one could have survived that fall."
Prove that the inner conflict hampered Vader's fighting ability. And even in the suit, Vader is able to take on mutiple Jedi at a time and he defeated a Darth Maul Clone that was equal to TPM Maul.
