Yoda and Anakin vs. Mace and Obi wan

Grieved, yeah. Holding back, no.

Actually, in the novel, he was holding back. There was a bit where he could have easily killed Anakin, but he hesitated, prompting Anakin to sneer, 'mercy is your weakness', and then Obi punches him in the face and says,'Your overconfidence is yours'. ROTS novel= badass.

The duel on Mustafar was beautifully choreographed, but that brawl scene should've been brutal. Like, I want blood.

The OT was good with that.

I don't recall seeing blood in the OT...

Oh yea that.. I don't recall the PT having anything close to that. Well maybe anakin when he got burned.

But i personally think some gore would fit well in the SWU along with swearing but i dunno what others would think of that.

Wait, i need to reread that novel. I dont remember anything about it, and i read it about 4 years ago. That must be where i got the thought of Kenboi holding back.

I read parts of the novel and he didn't seem to be holding back - although, one might mistake the conflict in obi-wan for holding back.

in this fight - does Obi-Wan HAVE to KILL Anakin, or just detain/defeat him, and not necessarily kill Anakin?

Well, it would be more of the goal of a jedi to capture a sith, turn him.her, then get information on the sith. Bastila is the one who said this is KOTOR, it is more of wisdom or some other peice of jedi crap but: "What better thing is there to turn an enemy to your cause? To use his own knowledge against him?"

Unless of course you could kill the enemy outright, thereby rendering any knowledge on how to beat them, moot. Bastila's also a chick, and chick's are always thinking with their heart and never their biceps.

Lol, yeahm in this fight, that is pretty much irrelevant, asa he knows alot about the jedi.

er, if Obi-Wan kills Anakin, then, I dunno, maybe the conflict, grief, whatever, etc. COULD distract obi-wan. but if they fight just for the sake of fighting, and obi-wan just has to detain anakin, he'd totally defeat/detain him.

anyway, obi-wan vs. Anakin aside (because I think we have established that Obi-Wan>Anakin), would Mace hold off against Yoda long enough for Obi-Wan to be able to help him afterwards?

I'd say they're about dead even. Anakin has more raw power and Kenobi has a clear head and has his unrivaled Soresu mastery.

Nah star wars needs more hardcore gore, more guts and intestines.

then what now? A draw does not help us in any way.

from a vs. thread standpoint anakin would probably win the majority because he is simply a more skilled duelist. hes ultimately faster stronger and has more stamina.

but from a more logical standpoint obi-wan is smarter and has much more focus and clarity. plus he knows anakin well. so i think tha if he really wanted to win he could totally bait anakin into doing something the majority of the time.
