Originally posted by GideonTo be fair, there are plenty of Jedi who have either demonstrated or have been implied/shown to have superior strength [Fay, Mace, Ki-Adi-Mundi]. The idea that one needs to be "Dooku-class" in power to get past Obi-Wan is flawed.
unless he's somehow Dooku-class with the Force (and he's not).
Perhaps, but your point is also intrinsically flawed. It's not enough to simply have superior skill; Anakin was, by all accounts, a far greater swordsman than Obi-Wan as of Revenge of the Sith, but still couldn't breach his defense. The degree of superiority with someone like Obi-Wan, whose defense is prodigious, must be considerable. Kas'im will win, but it will take time.
Originally posted by GideonWhat does that have to do with Force power? My point was that there are individuals other than Dooku who have demonstrated or been stated to possess superior power in the Force than Kenobi who probably aren't as powerful as Dooku, so the idea that one needs to be "Dooku-class" in power to overpower Obi-Wan is flawed.

to say that ka'sims control of the force is even near the level of someone like mace, or even obi wan is laughable. what are u going by his 1 feat of blocking a charged shot from bane who had just exhausted most of his energy in the hardest fought duel of his life. and after he blocked it wasnt he so drained he couldnt save himself from some falling rocks. is he superior to kenobi in straight upsaber skills almost definatly stronger with the force? no way
