Originally posted by Darth ThorI most certainly do and unlike you I know what evidence is. Lucas also stated iirc we see what a Jedi in their prime is capable of.p in the prequels. Kenobi is far more impressive in rots than he was in ANH. I'm very good at this, D. Thor.
Quanchi doesn't know what the Force is Lol

Dude Dooku was decades older than even Old Ben. The only reason for Ben to be < ROTS Kenobi is if he's completely out of practice.
But even if he practices from time to time he should be fine. Increased mastery of the force would easily compensate for his body getting older.
It's pretty easy to see why Obi Wan became weaker during his exile. Without practice or Jedi resources to improve himself including other members to practice with, all he's really doing is getting Older. Conflating Dooku's personal experiences with his is a faulty comparison because of the severe difference in environment, their personal goals and the fact that Dooku might just be more powerful than Kenobi. I'm sure if Ben did take up the time to become more masterful with his use of the Force, he might not of degraded so badly, but it wasn't in his best interest, his goal was to ascend to past the physical realm as a Force spirit in death, simple truths. He was weaker than his Prime self in ROTS, lets move on.
^ Well Dooku's not just around the same age, or just a little older. He's decades older. And it's not just him. Windu is about the same age as Old Ben. Palaptine was around the same age back in TPM, let alone any of the later films.
So age is not a reason to be weaker. These guys generally get more powerful with age. The only excuse is if he's out of practice. But will see if the new Canon goes with that. It won't be the case though if he faces Maul in Rebels, and if they do solo Kenobi spin off films based in that time period.
