ROTS Obi Wan stalemates in the first, and beats Maul 10/10 in the rest. Whether it be by virtue of skill or an heroic missteps from his opposition, Maul isn't stealing a single round from Kenobi.

Dunno. Maul wins if he abuses his Force Advantage.

You mean besides the part where in one he was a master of a form he didn't even use when he faced Dooku? You mean besides his clear rise in stature on the council and in the order in general? Mace specifically praises him for being the master of a style, when Kenobi was giving him props for inventing a form. You actually believe TCW Kenobi is the same level as ROTS Kenobi?

Beniboybling
lol

KuRuPT Thanosi
Maybe Maul (Anakin Force powers are beyond Maul's, and Kenobi stalemated him) I might give it to Maul though based on their showings against one another.

Sabers - Kenobi and easily

All out- Kenobi again, working for it, but decisive

Again Elm, a source please, unless you think K-tard's response is adequate.

Dooku's reaction to him in the RotS novelization.

1. Maul maybe, because of the salt amp.
2. Kenobi pushes Maul's shit in.
3. Kenobi.

Darth Thor
1. Maul
2. Split
3. Kenobi (he usually keeps a cool head and manages to come out on top).

How was it retconned? We know that Anakin grew immensely from TCW to RotS, so it isn't too outlandish to think Kenobi did as well; at the least, since the novelization makes it clear he had, there's no reason to believe otherwise.

The retcon here is that Dooku was referring to TCW -> RotS, not AotC -> RotS.

Just because Anakin grew immensely doesn't mean Kenobi would have.

The retcon here is that Dooku was referring to TCW -> RotS, not AotC -> RotS. Because in Canon he was not caught off-guard, having fought Kenobi prior. But then we can't mix continuities like that anyway, if your argument is predicated on doing that.

And Kenobi is not the Chosen One, so yes it's outlandish.

But it lends credibility to the novelization's point that Kenobi has, which stands on its own anyway.

The RotS novelization exists in both.



It's outlandish that he improved over time?

In either case, it's not just my idea - it's Dooku's.

Sure, give a reason why Kenobi would've stagnated when they were literally doing the same thing.

I didn't use Anakin's growth as proof that Kenobi had, lol.

Your phrasing is shit, I thought you mean Kenobi didn't grow at all, not that he didn't grow immensely. In which case I agree, he can't replicate Anakin's learning curve, but he still improved.

It's outlandish that he improved to the same or even similar degree to Anakin.

It does. It's been confirmed as canon, and it was C canon under the EU, so it's still a part of Legends.



I don't think I said that (Anakin's improvement was simply legendary); but he did improve by enough for Dooku to notice.

From AotC to RotS. No shit.

cs_zoltan
Beni seriously thinks Kenobi didn't improve during the Outer Rim Sieges? Lmao!

The Ellimist
"Aligns with" likely means "not contradicted"; if it has to already be in the film, there would be no point in calling it canon or non-canon as it would add no new information.

Beniboybling
It doesn't, and I really don't know why people delude themselves into thinking otherwise.

But well done yeah, the novelisations are basically Legends.

Kenobi takes all three. He's got "how to beat Maul" down to a blueprint that even a Padawan can follow with some success.

Lol, if your interpretation of "aligns" is, by your own admission, meaningless, then we should defer to mine, which makes sense.

Deronn_solo
1. Maul ragdolls like always.
2. Either way, maybe Kenobi.
3. Maul.

No we shouldn't, because in Disney's official press release, on top of a statement from the Story Group have listed only the movies, the TV shows and content moving forwards as Canon. And the RotS novel isn't consistent with current continuity in the slightest.

Which is also correct. It notes Kenobi hide his true form from Dooku at first, leading him to believe he still used Ataru. He didn't, he had become a master of Soresu. That along with Mace noting that he had become a master of his form. If he still used Ataru doing the clone wars but wasn't a master yet... how could he be equal to a Kenobi who HAD mastered a form? Odd logic from clownshoes

Did you just say prove he grew in power. Or has the clownshoes in you subsided now?

Beniboybling
Lol sorry? I don't speak returd.

KuRuPT Thanosi
You said, prove he grew in power, but then you admit he did grow in power. So which is it? Hence the clownshoes comment. I thought it was rather apparent he grew in power kiddo

Clownshoes, how do you even show your face on this site? You've been run off of this section of the forum numerous times now. It's truly pathetic. You're just mad I quoted numerous people calling you a moron and the worst debater on the site. I know those numerous quotes got to you, but the bleeding will stop eventually.

Makes sense.

Further to what he said, TCW pretty much rendered the ROTS Novel's entire depiction of the Dooku vs Anakin and Obi-Wan fight as Non Canon years ago.

Beniboybling
And ripped a hole in its version of events in countless other ways.

Kurk
Maul

SunRazer
The RotS novel's take on the fight doesn't even remotely align with the film's depiction of it, so yeah, it's not Canon.

The Ellimist
@Beni seems like you're right.

Darth Thor
Fact is Kenobi fighting off both Maul and Opress in TCW still ranks amongst his greatest feats. Only defeating Mustafar Anakin might be a better feat.

So yeah this idea that ROTS Kenobi is >> TCW Kenobi is becoming more and more baseless in Canon.

I mean he likely improved, sure. But so had Maul by SOD.

You continue to lie and just make false statements. Your posts are usually eerily similar with the same repetitive insults.

You're all talk and no action. No one respects anything you've ever done and you look like a nerd with buck teeth. Ending your life is the only respectable option you have left.
