Yeah was proper shit entertainment.

I have a friend who is neither a Maul or Obi-Wan fan but was really looking forward to their final confrontation. Even he was like WTF?

Rule of thumb: when you need director commentary to make sense of it, its shit entertainment.

Rots Kenobi would destroy ANH Kenobi. This is common sense. Kenobi and Vader were well past their primes.

Zentrex Hi!

Yet I'm the one trying to make things a debate. If you want me to *prove* it, I can't. If you want me to tell you why I think Maul didn't lose easily, I already gave the reasons in my last comment.

I don't know, clearly some people liked it from the comments on the youtube video.

The only people who enjoyed it were Maul haters and/or Kenobi fanboys.

Can you imagine if the Ahsoka/Vader fight lasted 3moves? Lmao of course it would be poor entertainment when such a hyped up fight doesnt deliver.

It wouldn't have been as thematically pleasing. And a lot of the comments seemed to appreciate the moment for what was riding on it, not because Kenobi won, or dominated.

^ There was some good in there. Like the fact that Obi-Wan didnt want to fight, and the way he cradled Maul.

But the fight itself ruined it for most.

Most of Rebels sucked. Thats why the ratings were so low by the end. Shitting on Iconic movie characters doesnt work. As they saw with TLJ.

Unlike the maul quote, this is an opinion: "I bet" the key terms here. Not worth anything.

^ Actually theres two parts to his answer.

The first is a straight up No (to if ANH Ben is better). The second is he bets, referring to who he thinks would win.

Either way its again clear, that your Rebels Kenobi is factually better than ROTS Kenobi, is no fact at all. The best you can argue now is they are roughly equal.

Was a shit fight to end Maul with. And shit storytelling.

Your opinion is just your own. You always get so butthurt and basically cry all over the forum showing you’re an emotionally immature person who can’t handle anyone who disagrees with you.

At least the Ashoka VS Maul fight wasn't onscreen.........****ing hate when people overinflate that and take it out of context.

If you’re asking if I think ANH Obi-Wan could beat RotS Obi-Wan in a fight: no, I’d bet on RotS.

Him being part of the story group would only matter if he was dictating canon, But all he's doing is stating his opinion. AKA: Worthless.

As Rebels Kenobi was stated to have deepened his connection with the force, I can absolutely argue for him being more powerful and hence better. Matt Martin's opinion is worthless. To spend a year denying the value of authorial intent and to turn around trying to use an opinion as evidence is the definition of hypocrisy.

I dont think you understand the role of the Story Group.

They literally have to keep track of everything in order to keep the Canon consistent.

The story group is >>>>> Filoni.
