If Anakin could KILL Count Dooku..

That makes a lot of sense then.

From The Making of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith:

Nick Gillard: On Attack of the Clones, I had to give them levels. Sidious is a level nine [out of ten]. On this film Obi is eight - he's moved up - Anakin is a nine; Mace is a nine, Yoda is a nine... Once you get to eight you have a Pandora's box. You could go any way with it. The way not to go is the dark side. But it would tempt you, because that would jump you right past the others. So you need to arrive at level eight at the right age - not as young as Anakin. That young, the dark side is just too tempting.

wrong, Obi-Wan is not stronger in combat then Anakin. Anakin IS far more powerful then obi is. Anakin is in the league of Yoda and Windu, Obi is one level down from them in terms of power in the force and saber abilities.

Anakin was just arrogant, a fault of the darkside (refer to Maul) he was arrogant and stupid and made a mistake, through the fight Anakin was almost always on attack during that fight, he was in control. Obi was not. Anakin just made a stupid arrogant mistake. otherwise he would have beaten Obi.

You are horribly incorrect. Obi Wan was always stronger than Anakin. I bet you he could have kick his ass in the Death Star too. Too bad he let Vader kill him to become stronger than ever.

^ Did you not read what I posted directly above you?

On this film Obi is eight... Anakin is a nine

Who is this Nick Gillard though?

Are you asking that seriously? Or just trying to make a point?

Well, he's the guy who choreographs the fights so I'd say he'd be in the know, and if he thinks Obi is an eight and Anakin is a nine he's gonna choreograph the fights to reflect that...

If you're trying to make a point, I understand what you're saying...

But even in terms of just what's in the film there is nothing to suggest Obi-Wan is stronger than Anakin. Or vice versa. In fact I believe the whole force-push eachother hand thing was to show that they are both equal in power...

Sorry if you thought I making a point, Dil. 😛 I wasn't. I was genuinely asking who he was. (Thank you by the way for telling me who he was.) Although that is one expert's opinion on saber skills, I wonder what his take on smarts & strategy would be regarding Obi-Wan vs. Anakin.

hmm, yeah.

I'd say Obi-Wan is smarter than Anakin, if only because he is older, wiser and has much more experience...

Well OB1 kicked Ani's ass. He is the better Jedi. End of!!

Also considering, he didn't just kill a bunch of separatists and choke his wife in the last couple of minutes. 😂

But I agree completely with Obi-Wan being smarter and planning things in advance. Anakin was being reckless and not thinking clearly.

Plus remember this...IT WAS WRITTEN THAT WAY IN THE SCRIPT!!!!

Yes. Thank you for reminding me.

Huh? It was written in the script that Anakin made a cock-up in his arrogance...

There is nothing throughout the entire duel to suggest that Obi-Wan kicks Anakin's ass...

Yeah, they are quite equal.

Although, in terms of using their head, Obi-Wan had the advantage.

Otherwise, he would've been beaten, not Ani.

Hmm...Not even the fact that he cut off both his legs???? Everyone keeps banging on about how Anakin is the best Jedi but if he was the best surely he would not make the silly mistakes and have lapses in concentration.

Anakin's judgment was clouded.

I definitely don't think Anakin was the best Jedi. I believe the entire duel was equal up to the point that Obi-Wan got the 'high ground'.

Hence not the complete Jedi.

But why did Ani try such a reckless move?

Arrogance, I guess. He thought he could make it. He got cocky. Like I said... his judgement was clouded, he wasn't thinking straight.

It seemed that he knew exactly what he was doing. He may have had mixed emotions but at the end of the day he wanted to kill Obi-Wan and all of the Jedi.
