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.

Obi took on anakin and turned him into vader.



Both chopped off an arm, only Obi made anakin have to have that breathing device.

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.
