Battle takes place where Luke and Vader fougth on the Second Death Star.

All-out fight.

Who wins?

I say Ommin and Warb Null. Null fought 4 Jedi at once in the comic he appeared in, and held them at bay. Whether or not he would have won is unknown but he held them at bay for a while but then retreated (can't remember why, didn't they capture Arca and then retreat or something?).


Ommin is even more powerful, several Jedi faced him at once but none of them could get through his defenses with the exception of Ulic. Mind you, these were all either padawan learners or young Jedi Knights, but they were giften Padawan Learners such as Oss Wilum, Nomi Sunrider, Cay Qel-Droma ect. And didn't Ommin almost kill Arca? I'm not certain about that though and don't remember details but I thought merely Ommin's presence near Arca nearly killed him or something, could be wrong though.

He did torture him while he was naked.
Sick...

Evil alway's triumpths!!!! Bwa haha haha haaaaa!!! Etc

Ommin is powerful but I think Obi Wan and Anakin together are strong enough in the light side of the force to resist Ommin's dark side powers.

Warb Null would be a push over for either Obi Wan or Anakin who gave Dooku very good fights. Ulic crushed Warb Null in seconds, are you suggesting that the more talented Anakin adn the more skilled Obi Wan (who had defeated Maul a decade earlier) can't take out the likes of Null? Ridiculous.

Obi Wan and Anakin take this in a potential stomp.

Ommin would present problems but he's a half-rotting zombie who needs a metallic exoskeleton to simply stand, if his suppresive dark side power doesn't work, he gets killed with one stroke of a saber from either Jedi.

Ulic didn't "crush" Null: he didn't even engage him in a duel. He just got the jump on him and cut off his head.

And good job ignoring the fact that Null held off four Jedi at once just before this.

What's ridiculous is that you're using Obi-Wan's slaying of Maul as if it was a demonstration of surpassing skill. Maul basically defeated both Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in under a minute apiece once he got them by themselves.

Either we saw different movies or your bias against anything coming from Exar's era is off the charts.

Dooku vs. Obi-Wan in AOTC was the second biggest curbstomp in the movies...the only fight that was more onei-sided than that was Mace vs. Jango.

Yeah Dooku played with kenobi and then trashed him... a bit stupid even if you ask me. IMHO, Kenobi should have faired as well as AOTC Anakin did at least. But anyways, nah, there are lots of things that are more of curb stomps such as Palpatine trashing 3 Jedi masters in 7 seconds, and Anakin vs. Magnaguard in ROTS, and Vader vs. Luke in ESB, since Vader wa sjust toying with him and at the end when he was serious it took him like > 5 seconds.

^Don't forget obiwan trashing the mangaguards before fighting Grievious .

Anakin and the MagnaGuard took almost thirty seconds, which is actually fairly impressive on the droid's part.

EDIT: And Obi-Wan dropped a crate on the four guards, he didn't out-duel them.

One does wonder if those particular Magnaguards were superior to the earlier models, as Kit Fisto was able to outduel two of them without any noticeable difficulty.

It still was a pretty big curbstomp.

@Gideon: Not likely, but it's always possible.

@EH: What Dooku did to Obi-Wan in RotS was worse; I cried inside.

No, it was nowhere near 30 seconds. I looked for a video of it on youtube and couldn't find one so if you don't believe me, hopefully you have ROTS on dvd and can check.

I watched part of RotS four days ago on Spike. It was almost thirty seconds, and Obi-Wan actually managed to take the head off of his even quicker.

Hmm... I guess I was thinking that Anakin killing his 1 Magnaguard happened at the same time as Obi-Wan cutting the head off his, so the time it took Obi-Wan to take off the head wouldn't be part of the time it took Anakin to kill his. You understand what I'm saying? I guess I'll have to re-watch that part. I was kinda hoping to find a youtube video so I could watch it, too.

Unlike Shaak Tii and the other Jedi Masters attempting to 'save' Palpatine from his kidnapper.

Considering they both took Dooku one on one I consider them good/decent displays. And it's amazing how you picked the least relevant point for Null. Null is no Dooku, he isn't even on Maul's level or do you have evidence to the contrary?

If he got the jump on him why was Null able to apply a dark side attack on Ulic (which Ulic resisted)? Once Ulic got into a saber-to-saber contenst Null was a pushover.

4 Jedi not comparable to Ulic let alone Anakin or Obi Wan. Plenty of characters in Star Wars have held their own against lesser force users. Case in point Palpatine destroying 3 Jedi Masters in less than 10 seconds. We know that Mace was able to put up (by himself) a much better fight.

Way to forget that Obi Wan acquited himself better than Qui Gin Jin in the one-on-one duel and slayed Maul (as a bonus). Did Maul's overconfidence help? Yes! But it only became a factor after the duel was over. All that without mentioning that Obi Wan in this case has 10 years more experience.

Bias against Exar's era? Nope. Some characters are elite in any era (Obi Wan and Anakin) and some are not (Warb Null). Futhermore using Dooku's achievement as a counter argument doesn't do much to support Null's chances - he got beat even more embarrasingly by Ulic.

Even more than that Anakin really pushed Dooku (Dooku expended far more effort than he liked) and Obi Wan got beat by Dooku's strength, not so much his skill (Dooku used his superior strength in the saber lock).

Logical fallacy, much?

I don't even know what this means, but you obviously think I'm actually taking Null's side in this, when that was never stated.

He jumped in and cut off his head; that was the duel.

Nobody's saying anything to the contrary. Rather, I was pointing out that you're simply ignoring some points while promoting - and twisting - others.

After the duel was over, Obi-Wan hanging on for dear life and Maul was laughing in his face. But yeah, fantastic argument.

...

This is desperation, bias, or sheer stupidity; you can pick one.

Dooku was the only living master of a form designed for lightsaber duels, had over twice Kenobi's level of experience, and was vastly more powerful. To say that he wasn't considerably above him in dueling skill would be, again, a statement born of desperation, bias, or sheer stupidity.

The one thing Dooku wouldn't have had on Kenobi would be physical strength. You really think an eighty year-old man is stronger than a thirty-five year-old?

Is Obi-Wan really 35 at the time of Rots?

You mean the same Maul who lasted all of 16 seconds against a pissed-off Padawan before having his weapon broken and being put on his ass?

Impressive...most impressive.



Well let's use your logic.
Those 3 Jedi Masters aren't comparable to Ulic thus the feat is not that impressive.



AOTC Anakin and Obi-Wan are not elite. Not even close.



You mean Ulic who used a surprise attack?
Dooku disposed of Anakin even more embarrassingly in AOTC because he shot Anakin with lightning Ani wasn't ready for.
Obi-Wan embarrassed Maul by getting the drop on him and cutting him in half.
Vader embarrassed Sidious by getting the drop on him and thrwoing him down a hole.



It's called Force power. Yoda does the same with Dooku and Sidious and no way the muppet is stronger than either of them physically.

And Dooku could easily destroy AOTC Obi-Wan with skill alone.

How can Ood Bnar's performance against Kun be comparable? It's fine to try to make a point but you're ignoring the evidence. They both acquitted themselves well considering they were both overpowered.

And looking at the specifics of their performances (especially Anakin's) they weren't shamed ala Null against Ulric, they actually held their own long enough that it wasn't embarrassing IMO.

Have you actually looked at the comic? Because such statements don't make it seem like you did.

Null had enough time to attack Ulic with the force, it wasn't like he was blind sided and attacked. He faces off with Ulic delivers a dark side attack which Ulic resists. He swings his lightsaber once at Ulic before getting his head chopped off. The fact that he couldn't even protect his neck after only one swing of his saber is testament to his deficiencies in the skill department.

Again ignoring the gist of my statement. Obi Wan was at this point a master of soresu and did well defensively against Dooku. You will also notice that I acknowledged Dooku's superiority (even with my first statement on the matter when I made consideration to the fact that they fought him one-on-one).

Rolleyes at yourself. This is Star Wars, Dooku is not Christopher Lee in the mythos he's an exceptionally powerful force user who can use the force to augment his physical ability, you bet your bottom dollar he was stronger (as of AOTC maybe that changed). If you actually remembered the fight, you'd know Dooku defeated Obi Wan by overpowering him in the saber-lock.

I'm aware of that, it's still translates to greater physical strength in this context.

That and the fact they lack feats to support being "elite".



Funny...since when did Obi-Wan use Soresu in AOTC?



After toying with him for a little while where Obi-Wan expresses exertion and effort while the Count is distinctly unphased and mocking him.
Dooku was vastly more skilled than Kenobi then as well as physically stronger.

Physically stronger? Only when relying on the Force in combat, which is what Dooku has to do. Otherwise, Kenobi would break his old ass in half without a second's hesitation.



Taking this particular feat out of context can be irksome; if it is your suggestion that Obi-Wan's momentary advantage over Darth Maul suggests either superiority or parity with the Sith Lord, you are most grievously mistaken. It's a well known fact that Force users who "give into their anger!" or more baser instincts will achieve a temporary boost of ability in combat. This is why Emperor Palpatine urged Luke Skywalker to summon his hatred in order to battle his father aboard the second Death Star, because the untrained Jedi was hardly a match for his more powerful and experienced father; this is why Palpatine urged Anakin Skywalker to do the exact same thing in his battle against Count Dooku, who emerged victorious despite the Sith Lord's greater experience and technique; this is why Maul himself, despite being wounded and greatly fatigued, would summon his aggression against Darth Sidious himself and attack in such a frenzy that the Dark Lord "barely" deflected the blows, in a time where Sidious's technique with a lightsaber would be at its pinnacle.

We know from various sources that Maul is a ridiculously skilled combatant with an enormous command of various martial arts, who has "pushed his physical and Force assisted abilities to the utmost", who was able to decimate the ranks of Black Sun, slay Anoon Bondara (a Jedi whose abilities were "second to none" in the Order), defeat Darsha Assant at a time where "no Jedi lived in the Force as deeply as ", and nearly defeat the most powerful Sith Lord in history in close quarters combat. Not to mention that Maul's chosen form, Juyo, is only wielded by "high level masters of various forms" according to Fight Saber.

Kenobi doesn't look that strong physically, Dooku looks big though. I think he probably has more physical strength than Kenobi does even without the Force - Kenobi is probably more agile, though.

To back up Gideon's point Obiwan says the following in the jedi vs sith guide:


"When the last door lifted,I gave into my anger as I charged the dark warrior. I absolutely wanted to destroy him. He used my anger against me,actually fed off my fury,gaining strength as I exhausted my own. I lost my lightsaber and he had me."

And Obi-Wan had Maul too.
Except he conveniently decided to -flip- over Maul instead of striking the killing blow after simultaneously breaking Maul's weapon and putting him on his ass.
It was just major PIS he didn't kill Maul right there.

Darthsith, in all seriousness, this might be the dumbest thing you've ever said. It is patently ridiculous to assume that Count Dooku is stronger than Obi-Wan subtracting the Force from this equation. You're basing this off of what? Comparable size? Dooku "looks bigger" than Anakin as well, while muscular, Anakin certainly isn't ripped. I suppose he's weaker than the Count as well?



As I've already pointed out, the mere suggestion that Obi-Wan was on par, equal, or greater than Maul is as baseless as it is stupid.

Yes, I am basing it off the fact that Dooku looks bigger, because that's all we've got, what else is there that makes you believe that Kenobi is stronger without the Force? Because he is younger? And, Anakin does look as big as Dooku, and being more ripped than somebody doesn't mean you're stronger than them, either.

I will put my money on King Ommin and Warb Null.

How about the fact that Count Dooku is an aristocrat who likely hasn't participated in physical combat in decades, whereas Obi-Wan is a highly trained combatant who held his own against Jango Fett.



There is no substantial difference in mass and size between Anakin and Obi-Wan, Darthsith.



Obviously not. But just because someone is bigger doesn't mean that they're stronger, either. Qui-Gon Jinn is bigger than Darth Maul. Are you going to tell me that Jinn is stronger? The fact that one is an eighty three year old man who -- according to the novelization -- can't compete with Anakin on a physical level even when drawing upon the Force seems to support the idea that he's not stronger with someone who does a reasonably skilled job of not getting plowed over by Anakin .

Simply because one is trained in unarmed, hand to hand combat, doesn't mean that they are strong physically. For example, Bruce Lee was way smaller than Arnold Schwarzenegger was but could likely have whooped Schwarzenegger's ass in a heartbeat. Point being just cause you're good at unarmed ckmbat doesn't mean you're strong.


Are you joking?

Anakin looks considerably larger than Kenobi does, even though Kenobi is closer to the camera. If you really believe that you should watch ROTS again, Anakin looks considerably bigger than Kenobi does whenever they are standing together, on the Invisible Hand, when they are fighting, ect. Hayden also gained 25 lbs. for the role of Anakin in ROTS and was on a shitload of protein supplements, I read about it on the internet I can give you a link if you'd like. However, nowhere have I heard of McGregor gaining any muscle or mass to play Kenobi. Not to sound gay, but we see Anakin shirtless in ROTS and he's pretty strong looking, I see no reason to believe that Kenobi is that strong underneath his robes.


No, simple because I've seen Maul in the Darth Maul comics without a shirt on and he was ripped, his body was like 100% muscle. However, Dooku is bigger than Kenobi and I haven't seen Kenobi do anything that makes him stronger than Dooku, who, might I remind you, kicked Anakin into a wall and held off Kenobj and Anakin at the same time in a saber lock, with one hand:

http://bastien641.free.fr/anakin_obi_wan_dooku_duel.jpg



For the record, I believe that Anakin is physically stronger than Dooku, in case there was any confusion there. Anakin only overpowered Dooku physically when drawing on the dark side, too. Kenobi does a good job of not letting Anakin overpower him but Anakin was clearly physically stronger in their duel as he was pushing Kenobi backwards the entire time. He pushed him backwards off the landing pad, through the Mustafar Control Room (or whatever it's called) ect. The only reason Kenobi wasn't "plowed over" was because he was able to back up the entire time to help him take in Anakin's physical strength. Like how a boxer moves his head back to take in a punch, so it has less force when it makes contact, Kenobi moves back to take in Anakin's power.

This is what Anakin looks like:

Now compare that to Obi-Wan:

http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6130/c6f1f713rl4.jpg








Anakin is considerably stronger physically. I know for Ewan you might say that's just the actor of Obi-Wan and not what Obi-Wan really looks like but they have the same physically appearance, physically they are the same - if Ewan was a steroid freak at like 250 lbs. of solid muscle then Kenobi would be huge, and if Ewan was 120 and anorexix then Kenobi would be, too. The actor's physique reflects the characters physique. Hayden is 6'0 and 1/2 and weighs 185 lbs. Ewan is 5'10 and judging by that pic probably weighs about 150.






And in case you want it, here's the link talking about Hayden getting strong and gaining 25 lbs. for ROTS:

http://www.nuts4chic.com/nuts4chic%20uk_People-Hayden_Christensen-Its_all_been_such_a_surreal_experience.htm



They wanted me to bulk up for the part.
"I went from 160lbs to 185lbs but I was in the best shape of my life because I worked out with a trainer in Sydney and was on a strict diet, eating six meals a day and on every protein weight-gain supplement that man has created. I could eat anything because I was working out five or six hours a day.

So one brief instant when Obiwan has the advantage makes him greater than Maul?



As Obiwan's own words say Maul was gaining strength from Obiwan and highly doubt this had happened all once and that is why he was able to overcome Obiwan. It is much more logical to say that is was slowly happening in their duel so I seen no reason why Maul wouldn't have killed Obiwan if the duel was to take place on a different field of battle I would even say that without the hole there Obiwan would stand a heavy chance of losing because unlike when Maul was briefly knocked to the ground,Maul retained one side of his saber. But if you watch the duel you can clearly see Obiwan's lightsaber being lost in midair and not when he hit the ground and proceeds to fall into the hole.

This is the dumbest argument I have ever seen, and it isn't coming from SW_LeGenD or Nebaris or anyone else derided for their ability to debate. This is, quite frankly, as disappointing as it is stupid.



Are you high? Darthsith, your argument was that Count Dooku is "stronger" than Obi-Wan, physically. Why are you citing this example? In terms of strength, Arnold would effortlessly rip Bruce Lee apart. The accolades that that man had won for his lifting strength are legion. While Bruce Lee would have likely kicked Arnold's ass, it was because he was faster, more agile, and trained in a discipline meant for combat.



This is retarded. Now you're comparing them to how they look underneath their robes? And you think Dooku is some mountain of muscle underneath that cape? This is beyond stupid, Darthsith.



...Using the Force.

Jesus ****ing Christ, Darthsith. Yoda overpowered Sidious and Dooku in saber locks (the same Dooku whom you contend to be stronger than Obi-Wan). I guess he would just decimate anyone in an arm wrestling contest?

Yeah, we're done. I'm normally patient when it comes to arguments, but this is, no joke, the dumbest thing I've ever, ever read.

Well, if we are to argue pound for pound strength, Bruce Lee WOULD decimate Arnold.

No, I don't smoke or do any drugs. Read my argument again, perhaps you are too tired or something, idk, but if you read again what I said was Lee > Arnold in a fight, I NEVER said that Lee was stronger than Arnold. Don't put words into my mouth, please.



And the point I was making, if you'll look again, was that just because person A is a better unarmed fighter than person B doesn't mean than person A has more muscle.





IActually, if you look again, you were the one who said that they were the same size. I can't understand what you're thinking here, Gideon, I consider you to be one of the best debaters in the SW versus forum, but I never said Dooku was a mountain of muscle underneath his cape. To repeat myself:



I said Anakin has more muscle than Dooku does, not that Dooku was a mountain of muscle. Since when did having more muscle than Kenobi make you a mountain of muscle?


Yoda's blade is shorter, giving him the power advantage in saber locks. It's true, if you get in a lock and have a shorter blade the leverage advantage is on your side, I am no physics major but if you've ever taken physics you will know this. But alright, Dooku may have used the Force to help him there bit if still doesn't mean that Dooku < Kenobi muscle-wise without the Force. ANd I'm NOT talking an unarmed no-Force fight, I'm talking purely muscle.



How is it dumb? I merely said that I thought Dooku possessed more muscle than Kenobi, and I still stand by it because Dooku looks bigger, and yes, I agree, just because you look bigger doesn't mean you have more muscle but in this case looks is all we've got to go by. I see no proof that Kenobi has more muscle than Dooku, just because Kenobi fought Jango in an unarmed fight doesn't mean that he has more muscle than Dooku, hence the Bruce Lee/Arnold comparison.

I love the Terminator movies... and you're right, a T-800 would destroy Lee... but Arnold the actor, not the machine, would probably get destroyed by Lee.

Not probably, definately.
