What if Obi Wan had continued training?

He was already Dooku tier as a duelist and Maul tier as a Force wielder in his thirties; could he have eventually beaten Tyranus?

Impossible to tell. Perhaps he reached his limits as of ROTS. And being a bit stronger, or even stronger in the Force, would not put him in Dooku's overall league. At least in Legends, Kenobi's Force talent was moderate as I remember. If Qui-Gon wouldn't take him as a student, he would even wont become a jedi knight.
Dooku on the other hand, was confirmed as one of the most talented jedi in the Order. Perhaps Kenobi could never reach his level.
But perhaps he will, if Disney will decide to show him in his prime during Rebels for example.

M, I'll respond to you in the Vitiate thread soon, so look out for that.

No. Both Dooku and Kenobi were near or at their full potential

I think he would've gotten a smidgen better, able to duel evenly with Dooku. As for seeing him in his "prime" in Rebels, they better NOT as its 2 years before A New Hope and their is no way he can be in ROTS prime and then deteriorate in 2 years. No way.

Considering not even RotJ Sidious was, that's f-ucking bullshit. In other words a usual Kurk post 👆

To be honest, Ben was only in his 50's and already crying about how he's to old, he wouldn't have advanced much.

It's almost as if he was hiding out on some backwater world rather than working out and battling evil every day.

I think Obi Wan was a late bloomer whose potential just wasn't apparent early on for whatever reason. Think Tom Brady.

For a 38 year old lightsider to reach his full potential is ****ing laughable.

You thought wrong.

Who says he has to deteriorate?

In any case, Rebels Ben only has to be good enough to take out Rebels Maul. You can decide for yourself what level that is.

Do aging people get better or worse with physical skill levels in their fifties ?

well it depends. You could be a complete a fat-ass in your thirties and turn yourself around later.

Quanchi's never done a hard day's work in his life, so wouldn't grasp the concept.
