Obi Wan Kenobi vs Darth Krayt

Vong Krayt likely falls to Kenobi, just as he did on Tatooine.

Kenobi's most meaningful feat is beating his padawan whom he trained, who was an emotional wreck and decided to do a hail mary while giving higher ground. This is Krayt after another 100 years. J is the only one who's made any relevant argument against Krayt in terms of him exhausting himself when fighting Cade, although Cade was a prodigy himself.

That "padawan" slaughtered most of the Jedi Order, blitzed Cin Dralling and drove back Shaak Ti.

Stalemating him is certainly impressive 👆

Most of the Jedi Order? You mean most of the younglings, not old enough for a PG-13 movie?

So the consensus is Vong Krayt = Hett in sabers?

No.

Well everyone seems damn sure of a Kenobi win.

Apparently. XD

Kenobi won despite Hett having a terrain advantage, so yeah.

And while holding back, I believe. The moment Kenobi actually went all-out when he remembered Luke and won pretty handily.

There were dozens of Jedi Knights stationed at the Temple as well... and you completely ignored my points regarding Ti and Drallig.

I didn't completely ignore your points, I just didn't feel the need to address then because I thought beating 4 Imperial Knights was more impressive. But you had to add "most of the jedi order" in there which isn't remotely accurate. And it appears that the "few" knights that were at the Temple were mowed down by the Stormtroopers, not Anakin.

But again, Kenobi beating someone he trained and someone's style he knows isn't extremely impressive. The context of that fight certainly make the feat less impressive but I am in no way lowballing Kenobi. A fully trained Krayt with another 100+ years of experience should be enough to take this.

Anakin effortlessly curbing Drallig and another Jedi whilst hindered is well beyond Vong Krayt curbing the Knights. We're not factoring in the hindrance for Krayt here, since we're using Vong Krayt.

Proof Anakin was hindered during Knightfall?

For the final time, I'm referring to this:

He sensed that his apprentice was not yet as fully committed to the dark side as he should be. Well, destroying the Jedi here should certainly tie Anakin closer to his Sith identity - Darth Vader.

And before you say it, yes, I know Palpatine's prediction in the last part of the quote was wrong.

Lmao, that's what you meant by hindered?

I'd see it being questionable if it was by itself, but given that we know exactly how he was hindered on Mustafar, I'd say this was him showing the first signs of his emotional divide that infamously obstructed his powers on Mustafar.

Ok great, so if that's how you define "hindered", then he was "hindered" during his fight with Obiwan, making Obiwan's win appear even less impressive.

Obi-Wan's stalemated him in spars before, and yes, it's pretty obvious that Skywalker > Obi-Wan as a swordsman. Hardly a problem for Obi-Wan, considering that he's better than Krayt, too.

So apparently we're ignoring Insider 88 noting Anakin's confliction during Knightfall?

@Warehouse; Nah, trouncing one of the greatest masters in the Jedi Order with "nigh unparalleled skill" > trouncing a bunch of fodder.
