Kenobi from TPM
vs
Blind Kanan from S3 Rebels
Sabers only
Force only
All out

Kenobi.

Kanan.

Kanan, more powerful and probably more skilled.

Kanan's more powerful, skill is up for debate

Tie

TPM Obi.

Kenobi definitely.

Still Kanan though.

Kenobi.

Blind Kanan's best feat was throwing Old Maul off a cliff after exchanging a few blows with him, then dropping to the floor himself.

TPM Kenobi got thrown off a ledge by Young Darth Maul after lasting through an intense 1 v 1 against him for over 30secinds, and still able to leap back up and win the day.

Neither Kenobi's contention with maul when enraged or Kanan's bfr of Rebels Maul should really be used here

Kenobi beat maul when he was at his best and this was after maul rather easily demonstrated that he could kill a Jedi Master. Kanan still nearly lost to old man maul.

You can't compare the situations, Kanan was pre-season 3 in which he clearly advanced (and the whole just blinded stuff is shady anyway) and Obi-Wan was taking Maul by suprise (death of Jinn and stuff). You're litterally comparing two fights extremely influenced by circumstances with each other, there's no way that it's going to produce something of use.

On the fight itself I prefer Kanan, solidly more powerful and probably more skilled. He was already edging out Inquisitors by the end of season 2 and advanced throughout season 3. These Inquisitors were strong enough to last far longer against a better opponent (Ahsoka) than TPM Obi ever did against Maul under favoring circumstances nonetheless.

I think Kanan's power could definitely be argued to give him the win here. Kanan's hard to place skill wise though.

Conveniently ignoring the fact that his combative capabilities played pretty much no part in his victory against Maul...

Kanan's best feat is beating the Inquisitor while not having to worry about Ezra and manipulating two ship sized asteroids with Ezra.

Conveniently ignoring the fact that he was enraged at the time whilst Maul was injured and had just fought both Qui Gon and Obi Wan for several minutes before that point.

I get it was a temporary victory. It's not like he ever had an opportunity to finish Maul off. And Kanan would most definitely not want a 1v1 rematch.




Edit: Unless you mean Kenobi. In which case of course Kenobi's combat abilities helped. He went toe to toe with Maul for over 30 seconds, and even chopped his Saber staff in 2.

Point is Kenobi looks better than Kanan regardless.

Not saying he would but TPM Kenobi lasting 30 seconds whilst enraged against TPM Maul isn't as good as beating the GI imo.

The GI is stated to be more powerful then S1 Kanan who, as mentioned manipulated ship sized asteroids and held up a collapsed mining zone. The GI is stated to be more powerful then Kanan and skilled enough in all 7 forms of lightsaber combat to instantly recognize an opponent's style and master.

It's apparent that Kanan's potential is above that of the GI's own given his vast improvement in performance against him with every encounter until their final one where Kanan surpasses him.

Edit: I do mean Kenobi. Yes, he did that. It had nothing to do with his victory.

He's not for the reasons described above.

Got confused between this post and the other...

Maul wasn't injured in Canon.

I think Kenobi's performance was about much more than him simply being angry. He likely improved through that fight, and then was determined to "right the wrong" done to Qui-Gon, much like when Adi Gallia died in TCW.

Unlike Kanan who simply had a "Force" moment against Maul.

And are we debating canon only?

He didn't "improve" throughout that fight. If he was fighting better then normally then it was temporary.

I'm not using Kanan's performance against Maul as apart of my argument.

It's almost as if Obi-Wan surprised Maul with Qui-Gon's weapon.
