Young Obi-Wan or Luke Skywalker?

Seriously, who would win in a lightsaber duel?

Obi-Wan. Because he has more experience than Luke does.

Definitely Obi-Wan.He's smarter,has more experience and has more of the force on his side.Luke's soft! He's weak and has no experience.He's a jedi in training.

He used his angry to survive. Obi-Wan didn't.


Wait till Episode III, we will get the answer.

Obi-Wan
  • Defeated Darth Maul (sure, it was a fluke but Maul was all brawn and no brains)
  • Stalemated With Jango Fett (plus, eluded Slave I's full offensive which makes Obi just as good a pilot)
  • Defeated the Acklay (OK, I'm showing off my Star Wars geekiness)
  • Lost to Count Dooku (but still could elude Dooku's force lightning, unlike Anakin and Luke in ROTJ)
  • Sliced off Zam Wesell's hand in AOTC and Ponda Baba's arm in ANH with one swift stroke (Geek Alert!)
  • Stalemated with Vader in ANH (Vader didn't win; Obi just made sure Luke and company escaped and anyway Obi-Wan DID become more powerful than even Vader could imagine)
  • Will be a hero of The Clone Wars in Ep III as a General

Luke
  • Survived Vader in ESB (but barely) and beat Vader in ROTJ
  • Defeated the Rancor in ROTJ
  • Stalemated with Boba Fett in ROTJ (it was Han Solo who actually "beat" Boba)

I hope I got everything. I think Obi-Wan wins.

Young Obi Wan kicks Luke's ass.

And, honestly, I like the character better too.

Obi-Wan would sprinkle some of that force all over Luke's candy ass.

actually, jango was the one fleeing from obi-wan so it wasn't a stalemate. obi-wan took away all of jango's technology in that fight. jango needed his kid to fire blasters at obi-wan for jango just to stay in the fight. all in all, obi-wan was powered down in Ep.2. the obi-wan form Ep.1. would of gave dooku a better fight before losing.
