Sword Expert Reacts To Obi-Wan Kenobi Series | Lightsaber Fight Scenes 

Definitely the clone wars!

Star Wars Rebels

He shouldn't

You should react to the fights from the Old Republic trailers. There you can see raw strength especially from Darth Malgus.

Do the fights in the old republic trailers! (the best fights in my opinion)

Yup the man is the reaö deal.

What’s his channel name?

You should watch Shadiversity

@@darthuchiha9870 It's Scholagladiatoria.

@@Riceball01 thank u sir

Doesn't Obi-Wan use a blaster in the series?

@@Ganon999 He does, but he doesn't like it. He tries to hide that he is a jedi.

@@SeeAndDreamify Ah gotcha.

Look kkip

Parry this you filthy casual

It's when he goes to 2 hand in that final fight. To me that's a sign that he's not "dicking" with Obi-Wan.

One of two actual decent moments in this tragedy of a show.

^Don't know why this doesn't have more likes

It is also similar to Episode three, when Anakins last action was a jump on Obi-Wan, only this time Obi-Wan jumped, but from the "high ground". He is still the master of the two, teaching him a lesson.

It doesn't explain the scar, Vader had that in ep 3 at the end

@@Milk88488 Can be explained further that it was shallow enough to heal a bit over time through Vader's bacta immersions, only for Obi-Wan to reopen the gash to the point of it remaining a deep scar. The wound doesn't look to be quite as severe in RotS as it does in RotJ, at least not to me.

It's a bit further than that- Luke doesn't really unmask him, *Anakin* asks Luke to unmask him. It was always down to him to make that choice.

Some sources also say that Jedi built their sabers with different power settings. Both for training and if they wanted a non-lethal option in a fight.

@@adamleblanc5294 Like the Anakin vs Obi Wan flashback fight. Obi Wan rested the tip of his blade on the floor

Cool that's a great idea 🙂

@@michaelnguyen940 also when their blades met during the training scene, there was not as much sparks flying and the light appeared to be have more white than deep blue and was a bit dimmer.

For the record, the kids are Jedi Initiates, more commonly referred to as "Younglings". After they complete these first stages of training, they will have the opportunity to go to Ilum and create their own lightsaber and then become a Padawan.

Seems a bit of a Star Wars "thing" for the Sith to use Form V.

@@foulplay99 Only the duelist variant. Form V is actually divided into two variants; one for dealing with blaster wielding opponents known as Shien, and another for dealing with lightsaber combatants which is Djem So. Most Jedi master Shien from a young age. In Qui-Gon's time, Shien was the most popular form of lightsaber combat.

@@jakekreeger1556 Those who mastered both Shien and Djem So were some of the most proficient combatants in the order. Anakin Skywalker being a notable example of this fact.

you're right about your breakdown of what the form focuses on, but it was Form VII that the Council discouraged practice of, not Form V

@@matthewwhite4564 The Council encourage the practice of Shien, but many Jedi looked down on Djem So--as relayed in Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force. Cin Drallig even says as much in a lecture, recorded in the book. Form VII--either Juyo or Vaapad--was outright forbidden unless the Jedi in question had the permission of a Jedi Battlemaster and/or the Council.

That got a laugh from me. 👍

Definitely American

nah that’s a real world blaster

@@alrenobenjamin6566 the guy reviewing the fights is British.

"So uncivilized..."

I've seen so many sword experts be like "yeah, star wars is fiction and we can only make limited comparisons between this and real sword fighting" and half way through the video they're like "yeah, this doesnt work in real life" like bro... come on...

@@newspaper-senpai8022 It doesn't work in real life. The Force isn't real lol. Almost everything they do is what you wouldn't do for real and honestly what you wouldn't do fighting with a light saber either. We forgive it in the movies because "space magic" but most of the bad habits you see them doing in these duels in movies will get you killed quickly in reality.

Go and watch Corridor Digital. They had a sword expert come in and did their own video on what they feel a fight should look like.

@@MrBottlecapBill thank you Sherlock very cool

@@MrBottlecapBill the point is that we are looking for someone who can tow the line between suspension of disbelief and a knowledge of the internal logic of the thing being fictionalized. Like, bringing biologists on to debunk species would be annoying if they just went 'oh that's not a thing'

Gotta end him rightly eh?

Nah I a sat there like, Should of used the pointy end.

@@MetalFreak187 exactly.

@korrok While this is somewhat true, Obi-Wan will make a killing blow when needed. It's just that he still can't bring himself to kill the man who used to be Anakin.

@korrok honestly he THOUGHT he already killed him. Probably hated himself for doing it. To learn that Anakin was alive, was like getting a reprieve from all the guilt you had for killing him. He couldn't kill him after that, because he knew how bad he would feel since he had spent the last 10 years regretting it.

Can’t believe he didn’t know this

Actually training sabers have a different crystal type it produces a far weaker beam which does not cut but is more like being hit by a stick it still hurts it just doesn't sever limbs or kill

@@BeStillVoiceWorks because it is never mentioned in the movies at all? :p

@@tomtruyens9804 The man knows about cortosis. Which isn't explained during the movies ever. His information about SW isn't is fully completed. Clearly seen the shows, just has not explored the knowledge.

@@rmcgowa1987 ah yes fully expecting someone to know something that was never in the movies. Just like how you had to play Fortnite to find out how Palpatene was alive.

Cool. Learning something new everyday.

This is seen in Rebels

No, some few lightsabers had that option, mostly used in the jedi training. The majority didnt.

Vaders force senses are so strong and keen that he probably doesn’t need to see to know when someone is behind him

@@ilikeheavymuzic135 but its still an easy instinct to go for, so its a nice attention to detail

They both messed up either way. Reva fricking screaming and wide-swinging revealing her whole side and position (instead of ignite-stabbing). Obiwan did the same thing without screaming. Still bad fights either way. Anyway, Thanks lots.

@@williamjosephburns1504 they’re not bad fights lol

@@williamjosephburns1504 you’re under the impression that humans fighting are perfect which is absolute horseshit. They have emotions, imperfections, and you’re looking in hindsight

yea Palpatine actually gave hime worse tech than even his first cybernetic hand. He had to be one step ahead due to the lag and use the force to overcome more, after he lost his limbs he could only be like 80% as powerful as Palpatine or something.

@@Jezee213 Perfectly said. I've seen a lot of people complain about Vader's skills in this series, but neglect to think about the fact that Palpatine was intentionally crippling Vader to keep him exactly at a level that's convenient for him. Sure, maybe Anakin/Vader could have been the strongest jedi/sith living, but his extreme emotional manipulation took him down more than a few notches. In terms of eradicating jedi, it probably would have been beneficial for Palpatine to allow Vader to hunt down & kill Obi-Wan, but Vader was of more use as an emotionless weapon of fear. If he would have been able to kill Obi-Wan, there was a chance he would have been able to move past his trauma in a way, which would pose a great threat to Palpatine's rule

@@Alfonso222 exactly.

so basically his suit except his right arm is playing on 1000 ping

This is legends, not canon

Maybe that will get memed as much as Skalligrim and "Ending him rightly"

obviously like what who doesn’t know that

probably around 99.9% of the population :) you overestimate the average person's knowledge of niche stuff :)

Ok just checked, yeah Darth Vader 2017 issue 18 by Charles Soule, among others. And it wasn't just bounty hunters, it was Tarkin hunting him aswell. Some of the bounty hunters were chosen for augmented hearing to listen for the screeches and hums of his suit, which he exploited to catch them by surprise.

Also the flurry into a heavy attack he then does with that hand is a really cool move.

Sick move! Loved it!

Pretty sure its the same move anakin did in the flashback

LOL

@@hdhshdhxnndnfbf4123 It is and it's also the same move Anakin did in Revenge of the Sith.

and it's the most obvious move, I'm surprised we've not seen anyone else try it for so long

@@cptsteele91 you gotta get close enough to him to do it and powerful enough to get by his force defense.

It was brilliant

@@cptsteele91 Obi-Wan is also more familiar than most at how Vader is "more machine than man." Some of Vader's opponents may not have even realized that his scary breathing is due to a medically necessary respirator.

Not to detract from what you're saying but just wanted to clarify in case the less learned make a mistake. The jedi from the Galactic Republic era were relatively weak compared to jedi from further back in history. They still had top class training but lacked serious, real world, blade combat experience.

Although to be honest Lucas is kind of full of it considering Vader was only about 46 when he died. The real answer is, of course, they invested the time, effort, and money into more complex choreography.

@@BadgerUKvideo The deeper lore before Disney is that Palaptine was the reason the Jedi were losing there connection to the force there was to be a clone wars episode before Disney took over where a Sith monument was found near the Jedi temple that he was using to blind them as it was said Plus Jedi of this era were meant to peace keepers they had been that for centuries the last time jedi were in battle could have been the Sith wars in the old republic games

@@Vivi2372 with Vader there is a thing in old cannon the Emperor was not happy with what he became he felt his losing all his limbs took made it so he would never reach his full potential as he would have if episodes 3 fight went another way in this new cannon he wants Vader to succeed him in the old it was a true Sith master and apprentice with Vader trying to kill him to take over he even built the Vader suit that if Vader fully turned on it would kill him outright But you are right they needed to upgrade the fighting On Vaders age yea 46 but remember he burned up in a volcano and had to spend much of his life in a bacta tank even his bubble in empire was about keeping him alive he was mot in great shape

@@Vivi2372 In Vader's case, Lucas pointed out that he's had all of his limbs replaced with prosthetics.

Seconded. My guy did his homework. :)

The Mandalorian series has made beskar's light saber resisting properties reasonably well known, but cortosis hasn't gotten the same coverage.

In the Expanded Universe, Mara Jade was frequently known to use both blasters and lightsabers.

@@randlebrowne2048 And, in the Coruscant Nights trilogy, we see a Grey Paladin that uses a pair of blaster (with no lightsaber).

Excellent point. Notice how when Obi Wan does a downward thrust on the ground to defend against Anakin's strike, there is no hole on the ground, just a few sparks.

Seems like a dangerous way to practice if you can't tell whether it is set to "safer" mode or not 😅

@@inthefade I've long thought the same about Star Trek phasers - the same weapon having a "harmlessly stun" and "irreversibly disintegrate" setting sounds like a recipe for disaster.

@@inthefade I'd assume they have practice sabers to use in the temple, but tbh assuming the settings lock in place somehow it's not really that threatening. Just a single thing you check before sparring, shouldn't be an issue. Honestly if a fully trained jedi knight gets maimed because they took zero safety precautions the galaxy/order is probably better off without them.

@@inthefade Is no difference than gun having safety, it works if you know how weapons work.

He also did it in Empire Strikes Back twice

Given how extra Anakin is, the breathing may simply be sound for the sake of intimidation that is completely unnecessary.

@@Justanotherconsumer Palpatine designed the suit

@@Justanotherconsumer funny how the customer is always wrong, fitting for your name. Palp had Vaders suit made heavy and the respirator was less than ideal so he could kill Vader with a jolt of his lightning if Vader tried to overthrow him. Read a bit ay?

@@fish5645 aww, someone got to flex their geek cred with something that… was that part even canon anymore? Not sure on the source, but a lot of the non-movie fluff is no longer “correct.” Regardless, it was a joke mocking Anakin the drama queen, the “well ackshually” is just kind of annoying.

Kenobi must've been knackered from closing that closet door to hide in on Padme's ship

Does that explain why Obi-Wan is so old by the time of A New Hope? 😅 He aged really fast because he was pushing himself with The Force to keep himself and Luke safe and hidden?

My read is you can see this in the first fight where Obi-Wan was out of sorts( he was genuinely shocked that Anakin followed him) during the first fight as well as he was attempting it to draw Anakin away from Leia. However in the second fight he was more self-assured and very much similar to the Jedi Master that he had been at the end of the Clone Wars which was something that Vader had wanted. Because in his mind he couldn't truly be considered a master until he bested his former master and maimed him in a similar fashion to how he got maimed on Mustafar. However despite the fact that he had learned quite a bit in the ten years since that fight on Mustafar she hadn't learned the lesson that his master had attempted to teach him all the way back on Coruscant. Which is why he was never able to fully best his former master. And once Obi-Wan escaped from that sinkhole that Vader had put him in if he was fighting with a renewed purpose as a result he stopped playing around with Anakin and actually pulled out the full ability in which he held

So the high ground is truly his weakness 😂

He actually can reach above his head that was apart of legends that said he couldn’t

Pretty sure the Emperor would have a hard disagree with that statement.

We see him do that, when he chucks Palpatine down the hole

He does it on Cloud City when he jumps down the stairs.

All of the promotional material for this series stated that Vader was in his prime

@@yooooo8600 SWT points out that the reason Vader is conflicted here, he wants to torment Obi Wan and everything, but Anakin is still in there, plus the whole obsession is getting in his way and even Palpatine points it out to have Vader chill out and focus on their grand empire. Vader fighting with no emotional attachment to his prey is stronger than someone he's got ties to. Hence his job of hunting Jedi is so successful, he doesn't care about any of them and wants them all dead as per his and Sidious's goals.

During Rebels Vader wasn’t 100% Vader. During his fight with ahsoka he screamed her name and that was Anakin. Vader is strongest during this time and Rebels because he’s still young. He’s an old man when Luke fights him.

You realise he didn't kill Obi wan in a New Hope!?

@@david3077 hes only 45 when he dies

The prequels felt even more, this one was a continuation, it actually resembles a lot their fight in mustafar, of course given their new characteristics

Yeah same lol

he has another room with even more weapons, its usually the setting in which he records most of his videos on his own channel

Not really a non-lethal mode but more of a low power mode were atleast in star wars legends (idk about canon) were the lightsaber only would give you minor burns and one could even grab onto the blade for a short duration and only getting minor burns and thus not loosing limbs during training Edit: spelling error

It's not a cutting weapon. It's a thermal weapon. They do not cut, penetrate, or lacerate. They burn, melt, and vaporize.

@@jacobwalsh1888 A cutting torch doesn’t cut either, but we still call it that.

Hand guards would still be useful even if to ensure your hand doesn't have the danger of slipping into the blade. They could be tsuba-shaped as katanas.

@@RJMazz47 They could, yeah. And some lightsabers have handguards, or even crossguards made out of lightsaber-blade. However, Star Wars has a really big problem: Everyone's using tech based on an empire that the Sith overthrew with the Jedaii were still a thing, and tradition has largely overwhelmed such trifling things as common sense.

That cut has been on his head since the RotS Mustafar fight.

@@christianfrederikklausen6228 Nope if you go back & check the first bacta tank reveal of Vader at the end of episode 2 there is a very small scar in a slightly different place on that side of his head. Probably from being set on fire as Kenobi doesn't hit his head during the fight. The scarring after Kenobi cuts open the helmet is much more extensive.

@@snakeplissken6649 idk its pretty inconsistent, if u see the behind the scenes of anakins burn suit in rots u can see the injury u speak of

@@snakeplissken6649 The scarring from ROTJ is the same as the scarring at the end of ROTS. A lot of people hopped onto this idea but its not accurate.

An interesting question would be what happens if a saber on training setting is used against one on full power?

Colonial Marine Standard Issue Harsh Language. You can find it in the armory next to the flamers.

I’d say that Obi-Wan vs Anakin in ROTS and Vader vs Luke in ROTJ are more emotional actually

"Shoot first, think never." - Ash Williams

In the streets of Corellia and ever after, Han followed Yoda's principle without knowing him; "Do or do not. There is no try." Action based on instinct and reflection.

Yeah, that's true, but training sabers were a thing, they were used by younglings in trainings, a lightsaber on low power still hurts a lot, a training saber is like a bee sting

It was a tragedy. It used to be a Fantasy, but it fell from grace to a sad end. It was never scifi.

@@willdavis3802 It's sci fi for sure

🤣🤣🤣

Of what? The crew??

Of showing how far Star Wars had fallen? Of losing his ESG rating for not saying that Vader was a Trans Xe/Xir black affirming socialist?

The worst flaws were the easiest avoidable. Better VFX. Ridiculous

@@Cestariarts None of this show's flaws were related to VFX.
