Why Obi-Wan Could DEFEAT Enemies Stronger Than Him

Obi-Wan Kenobi beat enemies who were faster and stronger than he was, and he never closed that gap. Darth Maul outmatched him on Naboo. General Grievous had four arms and better machinery. Count Dooku beat him twice, badly, in front of witnesses. Two of those men still died at his hand. This video looks at how he did it. It covers the duel that nearly killed him, the defensive form he built afterward that gave his opponents nothing to read, the defeat he suffered before the win at Utapau, and the way he turned terrain into a weapon. It also covers the fights he lost, because those explain the ones he won. The last section deals with Mustafar and the Death Star, including one detail from the novelization that most people get backwards. Anakin was not beaten by a hill. He was walked onto one, and he realized it half a second too late.
