Why love Obi-Wan?

Originally posted by Human Vader
He lost to Maul, lost to Dooku, lost to Dooku, beat General Grievous, I mean lets face it, he had the upper hand in the battle, GG was fleeing from him, not the other way around. He beat Anakin, but like you said only because Anakin was a dumbass. But Obi Wan rules because hes jeedai snipah, duh.

Well he did defeat Maul. He and Anakin lost to Dooku and both did not stand a chance. He only lost to Dooku the second time because Dooku fought him Harder than he fought Anakin. Dooku knew Anakin was a Valuable asset. He could have defeated Vader But if he did Luke would have never Fought Vader. Which means Luke woould have never Tasted Defeat. Luke was pushed harder by Vader besting him in a Duel. Since he did defeat him he and was The beggining of a New Jedi Order.

No Maul pwns Obi he was just being a ****ing moron during that fight

obi won is so underated he rules. just becuase he lost one freakin match everyone says he sucks. obi won is as powerful as anackin in the force, and a better lightsaber dualer then him. anackin has the most michordarian( cant spell worth tuna fish) count every in SW history and obi is just as good force user as him. now i know you want evidence of that statment and here it is- when anackin and obi won both force pushed each other both of them got effected

I think it's his wit that people like him for. And his face. He doesn't have that phsyco love face like Napkin...I mean Anakin. He actually has a good acting face that's approriate for every scene he's in. The stuff he says in the speeder on Coruscant in AOTC are kinda funny, he has a certain charm people like.

Also i want everryone here to read the new post that i posted "Why hate Obi-Won" and read the first post on that one and read the first post on this one

ok let me break it down like this:

Duel of the Fates

Maul was giving Qui gon one hell of a work out.....qui-gon is cool, but lets just be honest he cant stack up against Maul.

later on towards the end of the duel, hes just like, **** it lemme jus end him real quick. and hes done in like not even a minute.

obiwan gets pissed and he gets the drop on maul but only for a little bit. maul after getting knocked down picks himself up and is like "ok ok so you wanna get serious" and he goes to work on obiwan and pushes him in to the shaft.

anyway while hes got him down there hes ****in with him makin him look real stupid for even thinking he can stack up against Maul.

then out of nowhere and random luck qui gon's lightsaber is lying right next him.

pulls himself up, grabs the saber and its over.

maul is caught by surprise and is cleaved in half.

He never beat Maul he just got overconfident

Watch it again. I think you'll find that angry Obi Wan actually dictates the fight with Maul (before that Maul had it over him), he even cleaves his staff saber in half. Maul gets a lucky opening, hits a combo and knocks Obi-Wan into the shaft. Maul does a bit of boasting thinking he's got it won and Obi-Wan has the presence of mind to reach out with the force and dispatch him.
That scene has always puzzled me in that Obi-Wan when feeding off his emotions (which Jedi aren't really encouraged to do) is a better fighter than if he is not. Perhaps that is Qui Gon's influence.

Obi-Wan is a thinker, not a fighter! He`s wise and he is a fundamental Jedi example and that is why one loves him. Plus that his hairdo remains mostly untouched despite being chased and provoked into battle, have you noticed?

Seriously, he is cool as a mentor and a thinker ... but then again, in the new trilogy, the Jedi lose more battles to the Sith rather than vice-versa...

OK, how can you people ever say that Maul defeated Obi-Wan when Maul was the one who had a good look at his bottom half while falling down a shaft and Obi-Wan managed to survive for another three movies? Obi-Wan still won the fight. He just didn't overpower Maul. He outsmarted him. It still counts as winning, regardless of how he does it. Obi-Wan showed that power and skill don't necessarily guarentee a victory in a duel. Maul is more powerful, I'll give you that, but Obi-Wan is smarter, and that enabled him to take down Maul.

As for the reply to the thread. Obi-Wan isn't a hell of a lot powerful, but he is very wise and level-headed, and those two factors are the only reasons why he survived for such a long time. He is still a great Jedi Knight.

None of these points mean nothing.

Reason being: MAUL DIED!

Anytime someone dies during a lightsaber fight, they lose. I don't care if Maul was "Overconfident" that means he was a lesser fighter than Obi Wan. If you cannot think during a fight and if you cannot use wisdom, than you are sadly worse than your foe. Maul died and that means he lost, that's just all there is to it!

Obi beats Maul - he cut the double bladed saber in half and was winning the fight up until the point when Mr Overated Maul cheapshotted him down the pit, at which point Obi used his brain to defeat Maul. Maul beat Qui-Gon a Jedi Master and Obi was only a padawan and yet he was still overpowering Maul who was a sith trained to kill Jedi.

He loses to Dukoo in AOTC because Dukoo's fighting style is a master at 1 vs 1 fighting and Dukoo is also more powerful than him, and note how he is only beaten when got into a saber lock.

In ROTS he loses to Dukoo because he is choked and thrown across the room before he can react not in a straight up lightsaber fight.

He defeats Grievous easily in the lightsaber duel, removing 2 hands and knocking out the other 2 sabers with the most powerful Force Push seen in the films. He then takes on GG hand to hand because he lost his saber because Boga his lizard was so fast, and defeats him using his initiative and quick thinking and using the force to draw the blaster to him.

The duel against Vader in ROTS is a stalemate and he knows he is starting to lose ground and struggle against the raw power, so again he outwits his opponent to gain the advantage which he takes.

In ANH it was another stalemate but he realised he could no longer be of help to Luke as a physical being so gave his life to assist Luke from the force which was the smartest thing to do (he gives Luke the advice to trust his feelings allowing him to blow up the death star)

He takes on the 3 Sith Apprentices, Vader being the most powerful, then Dukoo (who gets NO credit he is VERY powerful) and then Maul being the weakest.

Pretty good points; except Dooku easily owns Obi both times. And he's more powerful than Vader.

In AOTC, he's laughing at him an toying with him, and then finally gets bored and strikes him down. He's ready to kill him until Anakin comes in.

In ROTS, he's fighting both at the same time. He Pushes Obi away and fights off Anakin. Obi runs towards him. Dooku kicks Anakin to the ground, and chucks Obi across the room. Obi didn't have time to react, but he was the one attacking at first.

he fights more duels than anyone in the movies; a fight or two, in ROTS, three, per movie. Obi is the Keninja. He's crazy. He's wise, skilled, powerful enough, and a good character.

Excuse me Darth Melons did you call Maul overrated?

Here it goes...

"But Maul did this.... Shadow Hunter that... Ray Park this... Double Saber that..."

Why don't you people just accept Maul schooled Obi-Wan

Cuz he got chopped in half, that's why.

In a sheer one-on-one, sure, but Maul's an arrogant retard. He got told. By a lightsaber.

Yeah. If he wasn't dead, I'd entertain your fanboyism.
