One of the best Lightweight duelists in the Star Wars galaxy, Obi-Wan Kenobi, also serves his survival with his ability to dramatically change his fighting style depending on the opponent, as in episodes I and III. Explanations.
If you are a Star Wars fan, we imagine that for some time (more or less) you have been riding on your screen and watching the Disney + Obi-Wan Kenobi series where the Jedi Wizard finds (among other things) who was once his apprentice.
In the Star Wars saga, Obi-Wan proved to be one of the best traffic light duelists. In Episode I he was able to defeat the still very strong Cit Lord Darth Vader. In episode III, he kills General Grievus. In addition, he managed to gain an advantage over Anakin by inflicting a heavy defeat on him in a duel on Planet Mustafar.
Below, for fun, a small fragment from the duel in episode I …
Ultra fans, of course, know the anecdote, but not the erratic ones. Obi-Wan actually changed his Latin fighting style.
Initiated by his master Kui-gon Jin (Liam Neeson) in Jedi martial arts, Obi-Wan trained in martial arts duplication. “Form IV”, known as Ataru, Which is characterized by a very aggressive and very fast fighting style. Less defense-oriented, this style of fighting used by his master will be fatal for the latter, against Darth Vader. After this battle, Obi-Wan changed his style by adopting a more defensive posture called “Form III” or Sorresu.
Although the change is not explicitly explained in the film, it was still highlighted in review number (62) Star Wars Insider Dated in October 2002, in which author David West Reynolds accurately traces seven different forms of lighthouse fighting.
With the title of his article Battle Saber: Seven Deadly Forms of BattleHe thus explained the transition to style Sorresu Allows Obi-Wan to become an expert in stopping and expelling enemy blows, highlighting his ability to survive in this style during clone wars.
So it is this fighting style that helps him defeat Anakin in episode III, who uses a very aggressive style. It is equally fascinating to see how the world of ultra-coded Star Wars is and that everything, or almost, makes sense.
