Pada-Wan Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I don't know. It is really a toss-up IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpTheHotrod Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Vader type killed Obi-Wan, so you'd know Vader would have done anything to kill Obi, while Obi obviously wouldn't have done the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerfYoda Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I'd think Obi's fighting skills were out of practice having been a hermit on Tatooine for so long. Also don't you think Obi actually won that battle? I mean he died, but his spirit told luke to get trained by yoda & to use the force when blowing up the 1st deathstar. It's kindof a "won the battle, but lost the war" kind of thing IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyder121 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 nono he didnt die because lack of skill with lightsaber but because he meditated second just before he died(so did vader...)& both became ghosts.like yoda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JrKASperov Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Yep, I kinda thought Obi-Wan had an easy time with our vader there, so if he hadn't stopped fighting, he would have won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercen4ry Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I agree - if it hadn't been Obi-Wan's plan to be "one with the force" so he could advise Luke, he would have handed Darth "Anakin" Vader his ass. After all, in the mind of George Lucas, the Light Side > the Dark Side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zindell Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Well what a crappy trilogy that woulda been if he had won... I think vadar was going easy on an old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JangoFett41 Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Vader couldn't beat him as a Jedi he couldn't beat him then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfmanNCSU Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Its was all part of Obi Wan's plan. He had him right where he wanted him. He made sure that luke saw them fighting, he warned vader that he would become more powerfull, and he made sure that luke saw him struck down. Then he lowered his saber and mediatated to assist luke in his training later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Talliusc Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Originally posted by Kyle d'Tana He would win!! uh sorry Kyle d'Tana but exactly WHO is the HE in that sentence? i voted for obi wan, because i dont think he spent his time on tattooine slackin off, he probably practiced his saber every day just because of boredom. and DV was happy to be fighting obi wan, which any dark side adept will tell you is bad, so vader wasnt at his peak performance and obi wan knew exactly what he had to do to defeat vader.......... ok so he knew how to make vader get defeated by his son! bah, i have faith in obi all the same, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Doo Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Obi-Wan has slashed up Anakin/Vader before (why do you think he is wearing all the armour and machine parts) so i doubt not he could have done it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyth'emos Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Obi-wan would have lost, his skills were just to out of practice, which is the main reason I only like him in EP 1-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i bet you love him in ep3. The way he battle, the way he act, everything. Just a tiny piece of info: Episode 3 does not come before 2005. Or perhaps you can see the future...

SeraphimII Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Obi Wan Never had any intention of winning. He wanted save his old padawan, but he knew Vader would never listen to him so he got to Vader through his son. He then let Luke convert his father, even though he was only good for about 10 seconds then died. I think he had the whole thing planed out. Dark sides not the only sneaking bastards.

Prowl lightstar Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 If Obi wan had killed Vader in Ep4, he'd have been blasted by the 20+ stormies stood watching. He wouldn't have escaped the death star anyway, he was a better fighter than vader i think. I don't buy that he's too old, dooku was older. It seems to me that the older the jedi / sith get the MORE powerful they are (eg yoda/palpatine dooku). And i don't buy he was out of shape because if he'd stopped training, using dicsiplne, he could have been seduced by the dark side. (People always say that the sabre fight in ep4 is rubbish because they didn't know how to choreograph a decent one. That is BS. The obi vs vader fight is very typical of 2 Kendo masters in their late 80's. Obviously they can't dive around like idiots. It's a tactical fight, neither wants to leave himself open, so they remain facing head on at all times, using a very traditional stance. The largely robotic chosen one (vader) couldn't over power a 60+ year old obi wan. Remember Obi wan has defeated vader b4 anyway.) Then Luke would have got wasted by the emperor or hunted down by Boba fett, because a:No obi wan to tell luke to go se yoda, b:Luke would have no help to defeat the emperor, if he even confronts him at all. Also if vader was dead, then the emperor wouldn't have to waste his energy monitoring his wayward lackey, so he would have forseen the nature of the demise of death star 2, therefore the rebels get annihilated at endor.

acdcfanbill Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 you know, if obi-wan coulda beat vader, that would make twice, and if thats true, then OBI should be the chosen one, cause Anakin is suking it up as the chosen one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
