No. It didn't. I think most people on this forum have even that abomination mostly memorized. I'm merely pointing out that Yoda ain't exactly wise.

what a hot take

Kenobi is a scholar now? Wiser in what? Combat knowledge and tactics? Then sure. Overall knowledge on the SW universe? No

It seems you don't know wisdom is.

The quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment. What have I said? I can see how he can be wiser than someone like Jocasta Nu and even Mace in overall combat and war tactics, but I'm sure the librarian of the jedi archives knows more than him in other areas not related to war.

Wisdom is one whose able to give the best counsel.

It's making the best decisions with regards to what's the Right or Wrong thing to do. And the most sensible thing to do.

It does come from experience, but is not limited to age. There are man older people who are not wise.

If you read Dark Disciple, Kenobi's certainly one of the Wiser Jedi. Perhaps even wiser than Yoda. Or just look at situations like when the Council voted on whether to give Ahsoka up to the Republic courts or not. Some Council members were truly idiotic, and certainly not Wise.

By ROTS, he had reached, I believe 100% of his potential.

You think that was his full potential? Getting utterly stomped by Dooku like that?

Kenobi being full potential by RotS is legit retarded considering he grew more powerful by ANH.

I read DD and agree that he's wiser than the average jedi on the council, but do not agree that he's wiser than Yoda. He just barely makes it above Windu

Yoda failed.

His potential is likely similar to the likes of Mace or Maul, higher than Dooku's but not as high as Sidious's base potential.

It's pretty easy to imagine him reaching the level of Mace after 16 years of continuous growth if he had stayed and trained in the Jedi Order had it been the same that it originally was before.

Plus it is absolutely moronic to think that he reached his full potential by ROTS considering

He isn't ambitious

He is a lightsider

He is just 37/38 years old

He is a Jedi Master for only 3 years and couldn't have explored even a fraction of the resources that he should have if he had gotten more time since Jedi Masters are granted access to all the knowledge of the Jedi Order but knights have restrictions there

Age ain't nothing but a number.
no, it means something. having palpatine as 88 tells you about his wisdom. and you know how yoda is about 825 years older than obi.

Palpatine is wise? Lol no Sith Lords are not known for their wisdom.

Wisdom can come at any age, but the same person will likely get wiser over time. But then he may do the opposite as well. TLJ Luke was definitely less wise than ROTJ Luke Lol.

Darth Andeddu was nearly killed by his fellow Sith just because of his wisdom.

He's significantly wiser than any of those buffoons already.

That's not saying much...

It is if your name isn't "Qui-Gon Jinn". Qui-Gon I think was the wisest.

that is pathetic, he was the same as Windu and Yoda was more intelligent than both of them combined
