Kenobi's Prime?

I was discussing Legends. Canon has Vader being weaker than Anakin as well according to the website, IIRC. And Lucas designing Anakin to be stronger than Vader in lightsaber combat. Granted, Disney doesn't necessarily have to follow Lucas' design, but until there's a blatant contradiction, it stands.

Maybe, but Lucas also intended for Anakin to be the superior combatant in general compared to Vader, right? If canon is seemingly diverging from Lucas's opinion there, going for Vader > Anakin and all, Lucas's opinion regarding Anakin's lightsaber ability compared to Vader's isn't that relevant.

RotS for now, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it's ANH in Disney Canon.

Yeah true. But Obi wan also says since the last time they fought that Vader's powers have matured, and that he's grown as well. He could just be talking about his ability to become one with the force though.

Forcewise: Vader > Anakin.
Saberwise: Anakin > Vader.

It's the same with ANH and ROTS Kenobi, probably.

Nah that just confirms ROTS Machine Vader being weaker than ROTS Human Anakin/Vader.

"I'm getting too old for this sort of thing."

Can't really go by that, as Ben was just trying to convince Luke to start his training.

yeah thats how I saw it too, Bens specific words are "if you strike me down I will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine"
