How long would Obi-Wan last against Sidious?

Started by Rebel956 pages

I feel like this fight would last longer than a few seconds. Obi-wan isn't a total noob. We've seen duels in which one of the opponents is completely superior to the other in every aspect, yet still manages to put up a fight, even if it may be short. I'd say he would probably last a minute before he gets totally destroyed.

A serious Sids could kill Kenobi with a simple gesture.

Some of the posts in this thread are depressing. There are no words to describe how badly Sidious would destroy Obi-wan and he could do it under 1 second.

He'll last for a few moments until Sidious ragdolls him.

Why is that funny

Dude, MINUTES? The vast majority of COMPETITIVE Star Wars fights don't last that long.

A few seconds later than how long it took for Fisto to die

Why do people mention Fisto like he faced Sidious alone?

Because the ROTS novel shows us that he did, indeed, contend with Palpatine for at least a couple of seconds alongside Windu.

Kit's legit.

In the movie he took 3 or 4 hits, I think.

True lol

Their blind lives meant nothing now. None of them. Because ahead, on
the vast cliff face of the Senate Office Building, one window spat lightning
into the rain to echo the lightning of the storm outside-but this lightning
was the color of clashing lightsabers.

Green fans, sheets of purple-

And crimson flame.

He was too late.

The green fire faded and winked out; now the lightning was only purple
and red.

NGL, I was impressed by Fisto's performance against Palpatine.

Exactly.

Also, considering how fast Sidious was moving at the time, I doubt it lasted a couple seconds.

There are several depictions of Kit's performance against Palpatine. In Yoda's vision and in the comic version, he was killed with a single strike. In the movie he deflected a couple of blows. The novel's retelling is the outlier here, tbh.

"[Dooku] gathered the Force once more in a single indrawn breath that summoned power from throughout the universe; the slightest whipcrack of that power, negligent as a flick of his wrist, sent Kenobi flying backward to crash hard against the wall."

If Dooku can do that so easily, I shudder to think how Obi will fare against someone a clear tier above the good Count.

Not selling Dooku short - he's damn near the best in the PT, but "near" just isn't good enough, for either him or Obi-Wan.

This.

Even if he goes pure sabers, the duel would be so fast it'd still last less than a second.

Huh? In Novels perhaps (where Hyperbole can be claimed)). In Visual mediums that's never been depicted as far as I'm aware.

You expect them to move that fast in visual medium? 😬

Yeah I suppose special effects haven't reached that level yet where they can depict combat at super speed 😬
