I thought he changed his style after the duel of fates of Naboo. Form 4 was tiring and only to be used in short bursts. Watching behind the shield as his master was butchered by Maul changed him forever.

That is true he had started to use Soresu after the first battle with Maul, but he did not become a TRUE master of the style until the end of the CW.

He also changed hilt designs. His old hilt in episode I and ii was designed for ataru style although his hilt in ii was slightly different to help incorporate other forms but his hilt in episode iii and iv are for soresu.

Actually, the art department created many different designs and Ewan McGregor, the ACTOR chose the one he thought looked the coolest. They obviously had to have him ultimately get to the one Alec Guinness used in 1977. And THAT one was pieced together from random junk by another art department. No sense of "style" or martial arts went into the design of either hilt. Did I ruin the "immersion into the lore" ???

Obi-Wan Kenobi adapted 12 years before his duel with Dooku and his duel with Dooku had absolutely nothing to do with him changing anything with his form of lightsaber combat

Similar to Darth Vader Obi-Wan fighting style is quite unique. After the death of Qui-Gon Obi-Wan saw the weaknesses in form 4 and took upon himself to learn and master form 3 but also with the limitations of a offensive that form 3 provides Obi-Wan used what he learned from form 4 to fill in the gaps. Obi-Wan also took in some of the basics of form 1 (body zones) to help him in some areas as well, like his fight with Vader on the Death Star. There is a possibility he might have a very very small amount of form 2 in his fighting style but nothing to obvious. Because you got remember even Qui-Gon used mostly form 4 his master was Dooku and I'm sure Qui-Gon picked up a few things from form 2 especially later on when he was getting older. But obviously it wasn't enough to prevent his death.

Dude... that's a very powerful line of duelists right there. Yoda taught Doku, who taught Qui Gon, who taught Obi-Wan, who taught Anakin. Hell, Luke learned from both Old Ben and Yoda as well(And even adopted and used Vader's own form V against him). No wonder the Skywalkers are such devastating combatants. Shout-out to all of the lightsabre wielders I just mentioned, by the way. They are all badasses in their own ways.

Hmm, yeah. It might have been beneficial to wait for ObiWan there, but if Maul had rushed him in response and fought him within the space of the barriers, it would have been even more detrimental to QuiGon's Ataru form. Though, admitedly, Maul might have had to turn one blade off in order to properly maneuver in such close quarters. One might even consider that Maul could have tested how the barrier reacted to his lightsaber in order to decide whether he'd engage there or further down the hall.

Howdy!

Obi-Wan had no choice in becoming one of the best all-round Jedi duelists. His teacher was Qui-Gon for starters (no explanation needed here), but Kenobi was a top level neophyte regardless of who he was learning from. Qui-Gon inadvertently taught him a last lesson on Naboo (he had to die to do it...goddamnnit!!) but nonetheless, he taught him that form 4 wasn't the best form, (especially because Kenobi knew of what was likely coming) and knew he had to do something or quite frankly...end up dead. This is the hallmark of a truly intelligent person, _adaptation_ . He would have put in a lot of study and research before doing something as drastic as changing his fighting form. No small task! He would have had to first learn form 3 (form 3, right?) so, learn form 3, then master form 3, then use it in real combat situations and finally (whew!) realize that if he combined parts of his original form 4 with his current form 3, he had an advantage of _surprise_ in almost every duel after that combination was also mastered and found that he could do things (he prolly didn't even realize!). I base this mostly on the fact that Obi-wan was a thinker as well as a duelist. He learned that you could "bend the rules"of two separate disciplines and cross them into the boundaries of each other into one form that was distinctly better than either of the other two forms alone. Qui-Gon would have been no prouder. \m/

Dooku noticed how fast Obi Wan had become and how his defense was nearly unbreakable in saber combat. He knew he couldn’t hold out against both Obi Wan and Anakin so he used the force to knock Obi Wan out of the fight, resulting in his loss to Anakin as Anakin grew enraged and struck at his form 2 blade work with extreme force. By RotS if Sidious and Obi Wan ONLY fought with sabers, I think Obi Wan could have held out for quite some time. With the use of the force though, Sidious would have over powered Obi Wan.
