A saber blade weighs nothing like the weight of a sword blade, that is why people who are not trained in the ways of the jedi do not know how to use light sabers.

Your wrong, a jedi knows how to use the light saber because of the force. A saber blade weighs nothing like the weight of a sword blade, that is why people who are not trained in the ways of the jedi do not know how to use light sabers.
No, the force helps a jedi react with the lightsaber. The act of attacking and defending is learnt, and can be applied to swords as well.

That proves that the force doesn't have too much to do with fighting skill.
Obi Wan could probably use a sword very well. Also Obi Wan is faster and more agile than Aragorn.

Jedi study more than the force and undergo vigorous training in the trials. But without the force I still don't see any jedi standing much chance against Aragorn.

Grievous mastered a rare form of jedi combat arts that can only be used by four armed aliens. He however put his own 'SPIN' on it. However Obi-won was better and had the force to guide him. Aragorn will win but Obi wan is still a great swordsman without the force.Jedi study more than the force and undergo vigorous training in the trials.

Aragorn is physically inferior to Kenobi. Aragorn may be more experienced with a sword, but that doesn't gaurentee a win.

Also Kenobi should be amazing with a sword, considering how much lighter and easier it must be to use.
Did we also forget that The General was trained by Grievous.. so it's not like he just learned on his own or from nobody special.. he learned from one of the best. Further, The General was even shown to use Vaapad in his fight against mace.. Which surprised Mace that he seemed to mimic something he shouldn't be able to or even know.

I've just researched Obi-Wan's fighting style. He's trained in Form 3 and Form 6. Form 3 focuses on defence and wearing down the enemy and striking when opportunity arises. It works good in duels but excels in deflecting blaster fire in the heat of war. Form 6 is a style described like this: No strength but no weakness. It is a political style.
Aragorn is very agile and can swing a large blade very quickly and he has strength like you wouldn't believe.

The argument isn't that Obi Wan is better with a sword, because he's not. The argument is that Obi Wan is physically superior, which compensates for his minor short comings in swordsmanship.
