Ah, but there's the kicker, Vader has shown himself to be a very capable fighter, because of his renown as a Jedi Killer he fought against a bunch of jedi and killed them. thus keeping him in tip top shape. I've seen the shit he's done, don't put words in my mouth.
That wasn't the point I was making. The point is we can't assume Obi-Wan has grown weaker in the Force some reason, when he already has some impressive feats of his own, aside from Force defence, but all from people above Jaden's caliber. Obi-Wan is easily on the level of Galen Marek based on his performance against Vader.
True enough. but not what i was implying. Sidious and Vader have great showing of their power, Obi-Wan doesn't have that many (as of ANH that is) i'm not saying their featless. i'm just stating facts.
Also...who's Sin? did you mean him?
I didn't mean to capitalize sin. Anyway, just as above, I don't think Obi-Wan has actually grown weaker Force wise, and while he may be less agile than he was before, he's still a high level opponent that was able to keep up with Vader in blade work.
Had i wanted to use that as an argument i would've, but i believe that's pure nonsense, obviously the movie is old and couldn't do the special effects of it's Prequels. however It doesn't change the fact that Obi-wan - to me at least - did lose a bit of his skills due to age.
Like i told Emperordmb, his skill is impressive, but it pales when compared to Vader who spent all his time since his "rebirth" hunting and killing Jedi across the galaxy. Still the old man did good against Vader that is impressive.
But his skill really pales at this age. in my opinion that is.
What I'm trying to get at is that this isn't true. 😬
In the novel, Obi-Wan and Vader meet on equal footing. Vader goes to chop Obi-Wan in half several times, and Obi-Wan blocks his saber every single time to the point of frustrating Vader. I think Oldi-Wan is a highly underrated character. He doesn't seem weaker than he was 19 years before. His performance has been shown if anything to be more effective than his performance in RotS.
