Well now it is. Thanks a lot.

"Standing in line to see the show tonight and there's a light on, heavy glow..."

No wait, that's not it.

Wrong song, Slash. Godammit.

Peppers aren't even lyrically amazing. The girl who wrote this is a top lyrical poet:

Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today i-is Friday, Friday (Partyin'😉
We-we-we so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today

Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes after ... wards
I don't want this weekend to end

wait, your argument is that the NOVEL makes Anakin look better than the movie? Really?

Like this you mean?

onscreen it appears that way, sure. but in the novel it tells a different tale.

So, you're saying that the NOVEL makes Kenobi look better than the movie?

It's more than apparent that Anakin, with his aggressive onslaught was the more impressive of the two. However, because of Kenobi's resourcefulness, he was able to find a way to prolong the duel until the time arose in which he could capitalize on Anakin's mistake.

A good analogy would be that of a young Mike Tyson and a Muhammad Ali (circa the George Foreman fight). Tyson was undoubtedly the far more impressive fighter, but put those two in the ring, and Ali might very well prevail. Tyson was stronger, faster, hit MUCH harder, was far more aggressive, had insanely good elusiveness, but may have lost due to the one key factor; resourcefulness.

The black pedophile makes that song. Anyways I wonder what would have happened had she got on the bus. I figure she probably would have a heart attack choosing a seat.

I don't get the sports metaphor but Takai said well. Danke.

Anakin's was the dominant combative force by far, (more "powerful"😉 but it was Kenobi's "experience" as Lucas called it, that enabled him to survive for as long as he did. In a straight up fight with Zoney Anakin, Kenobi will fall, hard.

I'm not denying that Kenobi will lose to THEZONE Anakin, but in a normal fight, where Anakin isn't so ridiculously focused (Zone anakin would probably off Yoda or sidious too) then Kenobi is going to win.

But regardless, the novel makes Kenobi out to be better than he appears in the movie, i'm confused, because you seemed to make the opposite argument, that Kenobi looked better in the movie than in the novel?

I so should have had one more drink tonight.... I stopped one too soon.

Evidently.

I'll summarize: In the movie, they were about even. Anakin's more aggressive, but Obi-Wan holds his own very well.

In the novel: Anakin is superior, through and through. Obi-Wan survives two near fatal moments because of one trick and one epiphany. If not for those, the duel would never have made it outside.

no way. We didn't read the same novel. I read The Revenge of the Sith by Mathhew Stover.

I just read the Anakin vs. Obi-Wan duel in Revenge of the Sith by Matthew Stover.

Again.

okay, your matthew stover has two t's. My drunken haze Matthew stover is spelleed slightly differently. That makes sense now, I knew we could n't have read a discripting of the same fight,.

Is yours that one that has Obi-Wan and Yoda tripping out on some bad acid at the end and they think they're talking to Qui-Gon's ghost or something?

Lol those crazy parodies.
