Was anyone better than Kenobi?

Where sheer defensive ability with a lightsaber is concerned, were any other Jedi or Sith superior to him?

Mace says that Kenobi is THE master of Soresu in the ROTS novel so as far as that time period goes, ion Mace is saying that about you then yeah, you're the best at that style

Stupendous Wave is a known bullshitter, clickbaiter and scammer. What he's speaking about is of legends.

Pong Krell's defense may not have been *as* good as Kenobi's, but it was still wickedly good.

You know, the real problem is that the whole "lightsaber forms" detail is so particular and overcomplicated that most authors have stayed away from it, choosing instead to just claim that a certain duelist is "skilled" with a lightsaber. Now, since Soresu is based entirely on defense, it's easier to find examples of people who've been said to particularly good at defending themselves, but only major sources like the ROtS novelization have bothered to actually point out that Kenobi is one of the greatest masters of the Soresu form.

So, it's likely that if we're going by authorial intent, someone like Sidious or Yoda or Luke, or even Revan is probably better than Kenobi at defense, by virtue of being more skilled in general. But when it comes to sources verfying practicioners of Soresu, then Kenobi was the master of his time, and considering the Prequel Era was kind of the high point of the jedi in Legends, pretty much of all time.

thumb up Krell was just an all round bad ass.

Wish he reached his goal of serving under Count Dooku.
