So we're going to ignore Jango giving Obi a fight in hand to hand are we?
Narrative hyperbole > Actual showings?
lol
I suppose you are also ignoring that Obi couldn't fight the Magnaguards head-on and had to drop a cargo container on their heads to drop them?
Oh, and that he had cover while the droids were firing on him?
The "blue bubble shield" shit you're talking about is particularly funny, based solely on a statement that his blade "became a deflector shield". I guess we can use narrative statements like this to give Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones hypersonic reaction-speed, since her blade apparently became an impenetrable iron cage when she went on the defensive. 👆
No but that reasoning sucks. 👇 The only bit you might have some point about is the stated reaction-time of the Magnaguards, which might frankly be an outlier anyway.
Or are you going to lie to yourself and say that lightspeed Jedi is the most common portrayal?
