I sometimes have this thought to myself. I think, man, Obi-Wan really is the glue that held this whole series and generations of characters together. Being Qui-Gon's apprentice and having a link with Dooku through that. Training the chosen one, serving in the clone wars, fighting alongside Yoda, creating Darth Vader (physically) and then training Luke even through death and being the one to call to Anakin before his death so he could become a force ghost. Dude's definitely the main character.

It’s actually poetic. What ultimately led to Sidious’ downfall, isn’t dissimilar from how the Jedi first fell. The Jedi were supremely confident and arrogant of their place in the universe. They wouldn’t even acknowledge the existence of the Sith at first. Then Sidious, in his arrogance, deemed the remaining Jedi as no threat to his empire. Not even considering that just maybe, they too could hatch a plan while in hiding.

Actually in the original script , George had it where the Emperor tries to off Obi-wan in his office . The fight ended with Obi-wan disarming Pap's and Pap's using force lighting as Kenobi blocked it with his lightsaber, Anakin felt the disturbance in the force, rushed to the apartment window to stop Pap's and Obi-wan. Anakin tells Kenobi to leave, end scene. George felt that obi-wan had too many duels for the movie, so Mace Windu was inserted for the arrest scene.

I think there might be another point to this argument. The only thing that Sidious feared was a Jedi led revolt against his rule, that is why he worked so hard to make them the enemies of the people of his empire. A man like Kenobi, a man who was "nothing special among the Jedi" could have inspired others to follow him. Like the Jedi heroes of the past, he could have rallied the galaxy, and that was something even a Sith feared. So many times, had a Jedi led the people against the Sith empire and won, and now, with only two, the Sith were easy targets.

Watching Palpatine mock Obi-Wan about all his manipulation leading to the fall of the Jedi, the Republic and Anakin while Kenobi remains stoic in the face of the man who literally took everything from him would be among the greatest scenes in the entire franchise.

He followed the force he learned that from qui gon in my opinion it was the force guiding him through along the way there is no other explanation as to how he achieved some of his feats yes he was dogged and persistent but that alone isn’t going to get you through encounters with Sith Lords and grievous. The force decided obi wan was to be the one to teach the chosen one and the saviour.

He's great because he's not great. On paper compared to Anakin, Mace, Yoda, Dooku, etc. he has no talent. No one wanted him when it came time for Master's to choose a padawan. Qui Gon chose him because he is more in tune with the force and could sense the greatness in Obi Wan. He was so strong not because of talent but because he was smart and trained hard. He trained out all of his weakness, which is why he beat Anakin, the strongest force user of their time. Anakin had raw talent to compensate for his weaknesses, but Obi Wan couldn't rely on that. I've always like his style and how he was a master of the defensive lightsaber style. No talent, and a user of the weakest offensive lightsaber form, and look at what he was able to do.

Obi Wan was the true underdog story as a Jedi who many underestimated and ultimately pay dearly for it. I actually believe Obi Wan & Sidious were relative in lightsaber combat by Revenge of the Sith & might even favor Obi Wan if he couldnt get the killing blow early due to Obi Wan s Form 3 mastery & Palpatine's advanced age hurting his stamina over time. Palpatine was vastly superior using his force abilities especially great weapons like force choke & force lightning giving him a huge advantage over Kenobi. Would have loved to see a Lightsaber duel between them around the time right after Kenobi from Disney + where Obi Wan showed force feats in his battle w Vader we had never seen b4 tho.

@@pedromiguelalmeida4446 that is the point of my above post. Fully mastering Soresu would made that person on par Obi Wan. Also Obi Wan is an excellent jedi master.

Palpatine kept leaving crumbs behind when it came to Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan took those crumbs and made a cake. 🎂 🥇💯🗿

@jawstrock2215 Месяц назад

Palpatine saw power through the use of the Force, so he only valued or respected others who had strong power over the force. Yet, even when the force warned him, he ignored it, because he viewed it as beneath him. Obi-wan constantly surprised him, and defeated his apprentices, and yet he thought it was his apprentice's failure, because Obi-wan was nothing special in the use of the force. Had he really taken heed of the danger Obi-Wan posed, he would have disposed of him, but then that would admit someone weak in the force to be a legitimate threat. The Emperor was doomed from the start... but still had a good 20ish years as Emperor of the Galaxy.

Obi-wan was hard countered once, outside of that one matchup, he was the most achieved lightsaber duelist out of everyone. Irrelevant that others were better, he did more it's as simple as that.

only beaten by force cheats, unbeaten at tests of the blade

@thomasparque7834 3 месяца назад

Though there was some logic in Palpatine’s think when comes to Obi-wan he largely wrong about him, he was serious threat to him. He killed Maul, he was training the chosen one, could have been the key to Dooku redeemption, then Luke train long term finally becoming a Force Ghost these are clear signs of true.

@spi6455 Месяц назад

Obi Wan defeated Maul as a Padawan, rivaled Dooku but couldn't beat him, killed Grievous, almost killed Anakin, and might had learned much from Yoda while they were in hiding. He disappeared and pretty much stopped interfering at some point. It's not fear, it's fear if what he could become if meddled with.

Palpatine crushes Kenobi

@wanderhillen2435 3 месяца назад

Sure, in a 1 on 1. But Palpy never bothered to tie up his loose ends and look where that got him. If he had bothered to kill Yoda and Obi-Wan straight away instead of half-assing it, Luke would never have had enough training to stay the course.

@johncraftenworth7847 Месяц назад

not in a straight up saber duel, however. Obi wan was never beaten in life or death saber duel combat, his weakness was overwhelming force power. But that's what he had Anakin for!@@wanderhillen2435

@pricha24 12 дней назад

if only there was a metaphor that one could apply in respect to obi-wan's persistent needling of palpatine --- something sharp and invasive, perhaps.

@brandontyler1754 13 дней назад

If Obi Wan hadn't lost to Dooku on Geonosis Palpatine probably would have seen him as more of a rival.

@mlo009 6 дней назад

Dooku trained Qui Gon, so he was a hard counter to Obi Wan.

@spencerkim5483 2 месяца назад

I can't help but think if Obi-wan and Palpatine faced off, Palpatine could be surprised by Obi-wan's resolve and get more irritated by how well he is handling himself. Probably the only way Obi-wan could win, however, is if Palpatine was weakened somehow.

I am having a hard time swallowing that explanation. Sheev did not go after Obi-Wan because he needed to use him as a touchstone with keeping Anakin under his thrall. As long as Obi Wan lived, then Sheev can stoke Anakins hatred that blinded him. The man who was presumably the cause of Padme's death and disfigurement. The man that held him back from being granted full rank as a master (Anakin stated this in Episode 2). It was sheer luck that Obi Wan was nearly captured aboard the Death Star because this was not a part of the plan. It was Tarkin's decision to blow up Alderaan to punish Princess Leia that caused that showdown to happen. Kenobi was simply delivering the droids to her stepfather then returning to Tatooine. The planet was blown to smithereens and then Kenobi and Luke were caught in the tractor beam. The rest is history. I feel the moment Vader slayed Kenobi's human form, that Sheev started losing control. Learning his son was alive hastened Anakin's betrayal. The only reason Anakin did not strike the Emperor down was because Sheev still controlled his life support system. When Sheev tried to kill Luke, Anakin at that point had enough and sacrificed himself to save Luke. So in the grand scheme of things I believe killing Obi Wan was never Sheev Palpentine's plan. He had all the pieces where he needed them. As far as Yoda goes, I believe you are correct on Sheev's feelings about Yoda being impotent at this point and Sheev wanted to gloat over his win.

From the first Jedi to defeat a Sith in 1000 years…as a Padawan, to training Anakin to one of the greatest generals in the Clone Wars to defeating Darth Vader twice in Canon to training Luke to ultimately the combination of his 2 students defeating the Emperor and annihilating the Empire. Anakin and potentially Luke may have been the chosen ones, but ultimately it was Obi-wan’s guidance both directly and indirectly that led them to balancing the force

@johncraftenworth7847 Месяц назад

after Obi Wan beat Darth Maul, Palpatine is not gonna take that risk before he mastered the techniques to physical immortality. There's an undefinable quality about Obi Wan, whether with mental chess or with his unmatched saber skills. Later went on to lead the completion of the Rogue One mission, sent Luke on the path to take out the Death Star and ultimately overthrow the Emperor. He wouldn't even have advised to go about how Luke did but somehow Obi Wan always knew Luke was the key. For decades he just felt it! When in tune with the Force, you know *without* knowing. A great leader and master puts students in a position to succeed and eventually surpass them. Did that with both Anakin and Luke. And ultimately, those are the two who did defeat the Emperor. Obi Wan's life and beyond life work!

"Why Obi-Wan Was One of the ONLY Jedi Palpatine Respected" is a video you did 3 months ago. I guess we can expect the same consistency from your channel as from the actual lore.

I get the feeling that he was scared of everything.

@FrostedSeagull 17 дней назад

Obi Wan kept his feelings under control. He taught Luke and Anakin the same. Anakin thought that brute strength was undefeatedable, as did Sidious. Luke, through both Obi-Wans and Yoda's training learnt to hide his feelings and thoughts E g. He almost hid the fact from Sidious that Yoda had trained him. Darth Sidious He couldn't sense either Obi-Wan or Yoda. Sidious was focused on taunting, humiliating and hopefully torturing Yoda to death. Kenobi Sidious up until Anakin's failure on Mustafar thought of Kenobi as a bumbling clown who fluked, killing Darth.Maul. However. . .. Obi-Wan slicing and dicing Sidious's protege and leaving him maimed on the lava banks😊 both impressed and scared the living daylights out of him. Sidious was NOT all knowing and seeing. His favourite saying: Everything is as I have foreseen it was BS. A lucky fall saw him just escape Yoda's ability to deflect his Force Lightning. Kenobi destroyed the most powerful ever Force user 20 hours after turning to the Dark Side !? Sidious knew that blind luck saw him barely hang onto power. Again . . . After 20 short years ( the Jedi Council ruled for thousands of years) Sidious rule was at an end. Obi-Wan a 'simple Jedi' and Yoda had defeated the most powerful ever Sith. Obi-Wan was a simple Jedi who utilised the Force as it should be. A lesson for us all.
