I'd make the argument that leaving Anakin to die horribly on that lava bed was one of the most hateful, cruel, and messed up things anyone in the series ever does. The proper action would have been to mercy kill his opponent, or take him as a prisoner. But the slow death? No, that's just wrong. In war the two worst ways to kill are gut shots and thermal/chemical burns. Why? Because they're slow, they're agonizing, and if you manage to survive them you're messed up and broken for life. That's why we banned weapons that have a high probability of maiming without killing. It's also why the Jedi banned those moves. Both of the foes he uses them on survive and come back as worse people from the trauma. Now, where is the wisdom in that?

If your argument is that anger made Kenobi stupid, I agree. If you make the argument that he behaved like a Jedi, you are wrong.

The fact that Obi Wan says that he could never see himself using Mou Kei, adds to the irony and the heartbreak of the duel between Kenobi and Anakin. He not only had to use this move, but he had to use it on the one person he never thought he would have to.

I honestly think he's kind of misinterpreting it. You're not supposed to use it on living beings if you have a choice. Remember that the Jedi during this period weren't used to fighting other Jedi. Banning these techniques is perfectly reasonable normally. It's just not a good look, beyond the fact that certain moves are more of a channel for anger than others. Before the Sith returned, nobody could really stand up to Jedi in combat so there just wasn't a need. I think they're more than willing to overlook it when the Jedi is literally fighting for their life.

He learnef from the best rule-bender master in the galaxy after all

I’ll just point out that against Maul Obi-wan did try to disarm him on Naboo, and even destroyed half of his weapon. On Mustafar, Yoda sent him with 1 goal: destroy the Sith. The only reason he didn’t finish Vader/Anakin is because he left his fate to the will of the force, which in many ways was him learning from the mistakes of the Jedi of the past era and learning from Qui-gon about following the will of the living force. Against Maul on Tatooine, he is facing down the single most tenacious opponent ever, who has just discovered that he’s there protecting the Chosen One Luke Skywalker. He has no choice but to end Maul’s life to protect the fate of the Galaxy. He even tried to reason with Maul first, telling him that he shouldn’t define himself by his ability to destroy and take life. He tried to make an appeal to him to not continue down the dark path, even after all that Maul had done to him, and then comforted him when he died!!! If this isn’t the Jedi way I don’t know what is guys. They’re not pacifists. As far as any “forbidden moves” all of these point towards a Jedi taking as little life as possible and doing as little harm as possible. I think that when you weigh the totality of Obi-wan’s life and choices, he follows that directive. Even in the legends book “Kenobi” he tries to get Orin Gault to turn back like 5 times before his final fate is sealed. I mean come on. If you want to claim Anakin crosses lines I’m here for it, but these moves are taught so they can be used in extreme circumstances, which is only when Obi-wan uses them

What Obi-Wan did to Anakin by leaving him to the will of the force is also in line with the likelihood that even though Anakin was maimed, he could still have put up some kind of fight, enough that to land the killing blow, Obi-Wan would probably have either used dark side power or be consumed by it. It's his misfortune that Palpatine was arriving at the scene and he had to get to Padme ASAP to try and save her children.

I used to think very little of Obi Wan when I started liking Star Wars, then I learned how much he had to overcome to perfect his life (force abilities, lightsaber technique, etc.). As someone with lesser connection to the force who didn't let that stop him from being his best, we can be our best even when we feel far less capable of great things. Food for thought.

Obi Wan understood how hypocritical the jedi code had gotten. It was more about following hard rules than actually upholding the ideology and values the rules were suppose to represent. Even the rules were being disregarded by the council often depending on what was the most politically advantageous as well. He saw it and didn't allow it to dictate his actions in critical moments.

It dictated his actions in every single critical moment, because the only critical moments he ever experienced are the ones that could have prevented Anakin's fall. In all those moments he stopped himself from doing what he knew was the right thing, and avoided responsibility by following the rules. It took Anakin destroying the entire Jedi order to get Obi Wan to finally take the responsibility on himself. Obi Wan's life's purpose was to help Anakin bring balance to the force. His experiences with Qui Gon and Satine made him ideal for that purpose. The story did not have to become as dark as it did. That was just the cost of Obi Wan's repeated failures. At any point all he had to do is say "It's ok Anakin. I see you. I will put you first, and we will take care of this together." Fall averted. It took raising an entire different person to do it for him.

In a ideal combat scenario the Jedi will be disarmed or disabled their opponents with the more careful strikes, however we must remember that the Sith were the Jedi equals or their superior when it came to lightsaber combat, and in a really life or death scenario no move is beyond use. The fights that Obi Wan was facing throughout the Clone Wars were against some of the most deadliest lightsaber combatants in Galactic history and that means that he had to use every trick and ability he had when it came to these duels for him to survive.

Obi-Wan “ I’ve got a bad feeling about this and I’ve got shit to do” SLASH CHOP

From a biomechanics standpoint, the slice makes more sense than the stab in this instance. The problem with the stab is it leaves your saber motionless and without momentum, so if you need to block you can't. You can't really do this safely against an opponent who isn't at least staggered. And Maul was not staggered, only surprised, and his lightsaber was in a position that could have slashed him if Maul just spun to the right. By slicing instead of stabbing, Obi-Wan took the quicker route to killing him, a route that also would have allowed him to follow through and intercept any blow in progress. If you look at the angles involved, the slash would have impacted Maul's lightsaber blade AFTER bisecting him. The slash was the right choice from a combat perspective. I don't think the Jedi look at it quite as strictly as the moderator implies. I think they look at it from the perspective of, "Don't do this. It's bad. It can serve as a channel for rage and just generally generates bad press. But if it's the only option to save your life, you got to do what you got to do." The rules were put in place when the Sith were thought to be extinct; they weren't factoring in combat against comparatively-skilled lightsaber users where you need every technique available as long as you don't channel the Dark Side.

He was the Tupac of Star Wars..."I ain't a killer but don't push me!"

The ultimate irony of the Jedi for me will always be that their strict adherence to a code was the very attachment they were trying to avoid

You can definitely see Qui Gon Jinn and his teachings in him. The code being a suggestion. Rather tune into the will of the force and the greater good over all. With no choice left then hits a dark sider with a special dark side fatality to add insult to injury! What a legend 😂😂😂

I think it’s a perfectly reasonable guideline. Especially when you hold such power you need to be able to restrain yourself. In real life it is illegal to intentionally take non lethal shots to inflict pain, however tactically it makes sense in war as it will take more than one opponent out of the fight as someone needs to care for the wounded. Chemical weapons apply here too. They are hard to ward off and are extremely effective, but dying to them is a slow horrible experience. War isn’t a pass for cruelty but some see it as such. Therefore rules must be put in place, even in personal self defense, otherwise it is simply evil men torturing other men with a thin veil of justification.

It's also worth mentioning Obi-Wan's final duel with Maul in Star Wars Rebels. You can see Obi-Wan first take up the stance he favored in Clone Wars, then switch to the simple, humbler stance he used in A New Hope. He ends Maul with a single cut across the chest and immediately deactivates his blade so he can hold Maul in his final moments. There was no anger in him, and he said he was finally cleaning out an old wound. At first, you likely think he was referring to Maul. However, I think he was talking about the wound in his own heart from when Maul killed Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan let go of his hate, and faced Maul the way a Jedi should.

To be fair when it‘s forbidden to use these moves they are certainly a surprise for jedi killers or jedis themselves like anakin. Its a rly smart move against enemies who might be stronger than himself

I sometimes bring up my Pureblood-Sith Sith character from the MMO, but I think they would be surprisingly good in the Jedi Temples. They're dark, but not cruel, they seek power to defend themselves, they're not "Good Enough" to be a Jedi, but reasonable and respectful enough to definitely turn a few heads of the Light or Dark side in interest. Had originally wanted them to be "Evil" then some dialog options made me run an interestingly neutral path. Basically, don't give them reason to strike you down or they WILL do it, no hesitation. Although they will forgive genuine mistakes, but not deliberate sabotage and ignorance. They're strong of will and presence, and walking amongst the Jedi... Other than their appearance, probably only the more well-experienced of Jedi would actually sense the Dark Side in them. They were a "Sith" by happenstance (forced into it as a prisoner/slave) but grew strong enough to choose their own path, and just didn't like the Sith or the Jedi B.S... ((All pre-expansion whereafter you basically go to a part of the Universe where you are a Neutral party, regardless of Light or Dark alignment.)) I was happy with how that character turned out along the way, and I can see them being someone that very few knowing members of the Jedi may call on for aid in special situations. My "Rogue Sith" that I would love to work into a Star Wars TTRPG game someday, even starting from the beginning again. Twould be fun.

Haha, "a peaceful meadow". Makes me think of Ralph from the Simpsons for some reason.

Interesting lessons to found here

"Always try disarming your opponent." "How about dislegging?" "What?"

I think it is surprising but I kind of like this about him. He’s basically a perfect Jedi and person but I think it’s great writing to give him this subtle flaw that shows his true struggle with the dark side. It makes him a more grounded character that being as pure as he is isn’t easy

I think one thing to point out with the first fight with Maul, is that it’s explained that Qui Gon reaches out to Kenobi through the force to keep calm and to concentrate. Keep in mind Qui Gon wasn’t immediately killed when Maul stabbed him. Kenobi really only uses these moves when he doesn’t have any other option, like he did with anakin. I feel like the council realized once the Sith returned, it didn’t matter how Kenobi did it, he clearly didn’t have any other option, especially being a padawan at the time.

Obi-Wan was always savage, even when he was a young boy. As noted by Qui-Gon in the Jedi Apprentice novels, Obi-Wan would surpass him in technique far before he would finish his own training with the lightsaber. Obi-Wan is a savant in combat. Every illegal maneuver he ever performed was out of desperation, not intention. To negate Maul's ruthlessness, Obi-Wan sliced his saber in half, to limit Maul's edge in battle. He then had to perform that acrobatic feat and win the duel by bisecting Maul out of necessity, because he knew that Maul would not give in. Also, Obi-Wan is extremely intuitive and quick, which most people don't point out. He was always going to perform that maneuver successfully. Had Obi-Wan fought Maul by himself from the beginning, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan would have trained Anakin together, not allowing him to turn to the dark side. Also, a Jedi of any level will not be reprimanded or punished for using a maneuver against a Sith. Those rules are really only meant for equally skilled Jedi against Jedi sparring to avoid accidental death. Good video though.

Its highly fascinating content. One has to wonder if Obi-Wan is responsible for Vader's agony in more than one aspect.

Kenobi's guilty pleasure is "breaking" the Jed Code.. Cuz apparently its only "breaking " if the enemy is sufficiently dangerous OR you get caught. REMEMBER the WHOLE Order basically used this to dismiss Dooku's execution with a Force handwave... Besides these "forbidden" specialties his "hello there" apparently is his Dun Mok attack... seemed to work on Grevious. Looked like in Ep 1 was ALSO dismissed like Anakins seeing as Young Obi was in heat of the moment an cutting him in half WAS the only real move an it was even displayed as instinctive over deliberately. Its even Maul's fault.. Even Sideous said so there.. in Mauls arrogance he lost half his body.. So apparently if its desperate enough, serious enough, or convenient enough for the Jedi/Force The Order outright ignores, or foregoes, or forgives moves like theses even accepting they WILL happen intended or not even. If it suited them

if i remember correctly from a legend novel, obi wan also somewhat befriended one of the tribes. there was one setler trying to blame the tribe in question multiple times (think it was the tribe aniken killed a lot of or one closely related to it, but been maybe 10 years since read the book in question and i cant remember the name) obi wan managed to prove the tuskens was not behind it. but i might remember things wrong.

The book is “Kenobi” I just finished rereading it yesterday. Great book!

Obi-Wan did right things during fights. He had to do this,it was battle to survive. To win. It's great he was so good with lightsaber. He used Mou Kei as mercy on Anakin. It's great how he handled Tusken Raiders. Real Jedi moves. May the Force be with you too always😊

Its simple, and one of the same reasons he was alive for so long(and remember he let Vader win). Win... or dont, there is no mercy. All is fair in love, and war. Do unto others, as they do unto you. Etc.

Obi-Wan would have been an absolute Savage as a Sith

I think another important thing to talk about here is how he killed maul for good, because even there he is depicted going for a strike across the lower abdomen, wich kills Maul relatively slowly, with them even having time to exchange some words. But it also seems relatively painless, and he took great care to not cuz him in half as well as immediately catching him, so he wouldnt just collapse to the floor

I believe that when you are fighting for your life you're not really worrying about the code you're more focused on not getting killed and preserving their own life.

Obi-Wan in a duel did what he said he would. "What I must."

Survival is a strong motivator

Maul with robot legs: You should've aimed for the head (attacks Obi-Wan) Thanos: This mf spittin

I've never noticed that he was that ruthless in combat. An it dose go a long way in understanding why using such tactics in battle was forbidden.

He will do what he must

It’s complicated, it seems like he only ever performed those tactics at first was in fact out of anger but later only acted so brutally out of desperation. The act he performed against the Tusken Raiders and his more swift takedown of Maul in Rebels shows he gained nearly full control over himself.

Kenobi's most vicious isn't in his lightsaber skills, but in his trolling.

Soresu is theoretically the perfect lightsaber form through which to use any (if not all) of such forbidden attacks. After all, with a near exclusive use of blocks and parries, the implementation of ___ can perfectly replace form 3's inherent occasional counters without contracting the tactics already implemented by its practitioners.

I wish they would have gone more into this type stuff on his show....

Cool.

For those who read the Padawan Stories about Obi, yall know Obi almost failed as a Padawan when younger and Qui Qon took him up round the age of 14 i think. Been a minute. Fun Fact that jump in Epi.1 was a power called Force Valor which speeds up the user.

Sooooo best way to defeat a sand person, pants them, got it.

Did you ever notice that in the Yoda/ sidious fight, the very first lightsaber strike Yoda launches when he jumps, sidious attempts the exact same dismemberment move Obi-Wan used on Anakin. But Yoda's too small. 😆

Obi-wan was under master Qui-Gon Jinn who had Count Dooku as master. Dooku and Qui-Gon Jinn was masters and studied the dark side and the way of the siths. so good reason for Obi-wan also to do it.

Like this comment IF ; Like me, you think Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 actor Ewan Mcgregor was an EXELLENT choice for Obi Wan (Young) that George Lucas made. 😊

Seems like a great character for Mortal Combat, but then I fear he would be stained by it as well. His growth to the light side in the end would not be viewed in that glimpse? Maybe if he is finished we see him do what old man Obi-wan does with Vader. He just vanishes in his cloak? Would be neat to see.

Darth Maul: Shiak Qui-Gon Obi-Wan: Halving

On the one hand, I get the requirement to focus on peace, mercy, and when truly necessary, a quick end, but it almost feels like every Jedi must have a few moments-glimpse into the future, or such heightened reflexes, and awareness, to always be able to analyze, plan, and execute such moves? In other verses, we'd hear things like "if you draw your weapon, you had best be ready to use it for its intended purpose", and "if you ever try to half-ass in a duel, and don't take every opportunity you have to survive, I'll kill you myself", so it seems weird for thecJedi to be SO worried, and have such almost ritualistic tenets about how to kill with a lightsaber. As a pointless aside, it's always nice to see art, and scenes, of the more Sir Alec Guiness-style Obi-Wan. So much of his content now was the Ewan McGregor motif, and as the nostalgia nut I am, it's still nice to see Kenobi as he was first introduced to me, all the way back in the 80s. 😊

Can't believe that guy kept turning off other's lightsabers in combat

My head canon is that Kenobi was guided by the Force to use all those forbidden moves. Even if Kenobi was giving into rage, as Qui-Gon’s apprentice and a devout Jedi, Kenobi was trained to more easily fall into the Force and become a true agent of its will.

when someone knows your style and can counter easly you have to switch it up and some times you have to get a little dirty

2:45 No! Sith Lords are his specialty.

The man was a G. Plain and simple.

It was the will of the force for him to use the move on Vader .. Kenobi was known as the negotiator more than anything during the war ..

🐐 Kenobi

Nice video! Out of curiosity. I wonder how many Jedi broke the code, due to their desperation in dueling a Sith.

These were moves, rules and techniques taught for peace keeping, against the value of life of others over their own. A jedi saving one person via their own death over killing to save that one person was an accepted mentality for the greater order at that time. However, when the goal is much larger, much broader, and for your own survival. These "Point" moves should be tossed aside as they only lowers the odds of their survival. In moments of great strife or desperation they are in fact, acceptably moved away from. I also believe that unless Obi-Wan told the council HOW he killed Maul in detail, that they'd know the manner in which he'd done it in the first place.

obiwan against maul and his brother: "the council will want me to fight maul fairly... they said nothing about your brother though." *shatters his leg in the most brutal kick i ever saw*

Maybe he take the Mongolian approach to honor, “the only honor is in victory”

Obiwan stop being a sore winner.😂

"I will do what I must"

He did learn over the years, his last duel with Maul on tattooine was a quick slash at the chest, not severing anything but ending Mail's life on peace

Obi-Wan is the king of the rope-a-dope.
