obi-wan would kill GG using any form. and i'm pretty sure that somewhere lucus says that obi-wan swiches forms because thats the only way he can beat anakin since anakin knows him so well and knows that he will only be defensive. that makes sense and sounds like something that obi would do sinces he's pretty smart like that.

It's actually made clearer in the novelization. The only reason Obi-Wan was able to beat Grievous was because he was using soresu. He was able to block Grievous' stikes to begin with, but Grievous kept speeding up his attack rate. That eventually overpowered Obi-Wan's ability to block, so he let the strike through, but severed the lightsaber's emitter a split second before it would have decapitated him. He did this a second time, so Grievous only had two lightsabers, which made him much less of a threat. However... He then used a Force Push to get Grievous away from him, he didn't actually beat him by duelling. If Obi-Wan had used ataru, Grievous would have been able to track his movements and slash him in mid-air, just as Obi-Wan was able to do to Anakin. I suspect that had Obi-Wan not used a Force Push, he would have continued to sever all Grievous' sabers and then decapitated him when he was unarmed.

Yeah and just think about obi-wan would kill GG using any form. 😆 I can imagine Obi Wan winning with the diplomats form.. Not! 😱
He probably thought that because Obi has a blaster, he wins by default.

All you who are saying that Grievous puts fear into a Jedi wouldn't that go against the code? A Jedi shall not know fear. Yoda made it very clear with the whole fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering speech.

I won't bother responding to that. . .

AAAAAAAAHH!! JEDI CAN NOT FEAR!!! btw: What the freaking hell happened in the Obi/Maul fight? I guess Obi's now a sith too, isn't he?

When was he afraid when he was pissed off and fighting Maul more or when he was focusing on getting Qui-Gon's lightsaber to kill Maul?

tsk tsk tsk, wouldn't that go against the code? A Jedi shall not know anger. Yoda made it very clear with the whole anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering speech.

Yeah, that's what I said, ROTS Obi-Wan had he hadn't changed forms. That's exactly the same thing. Casue then he'd use form IV still plus he'd have gained experience from the wars and stuff. And he would have imporved his saber skills, too.

No. It's ROTS Obi-wan as was seen, but without using Soresu. He still knows Soresu, but just isn't using it.

If Obi-Wan had gone up against Grievous using any form other than Soresu, he would have wound up like Anakin did on Mustafar...

I agree with that entirely.
