Died laughing and choked on my food at the "Want a knife built tougher than Rey's plot armor?" Lolz 😆 Shots fired!

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.

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.

So Qui-gon used form 5 power attacks into his Ataru??? Seems like a similar mirror of Anakin's style. I'd like to know more about Qui-gon's
saber style.

Not gonna lie, you sold me on the knife because Rey had insane plot armor. 🔥

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.

Because he saw his student QQ after getting his hand chopped off by Dooku! Kenobi knew he had to adapt.

I can't say obiwan is my favorite Jedi but he is garnering more of my respect.

[Gor]

This was perfect of Obi-Wan :D Very smart. He choose perfect style. His experiences changed him. Like you said, Maul and Dooku. He lost to Maul, to Dooku. This is perfect. Obi-Wan mixes Ataru and Soresu. Great analysis :D May the Force be with you too :D

[brokenbridge]

Obi-Wan did what any good duelist would. He changed with the times.

[oc_vorteks]

That's gotta be the most outta pocket sponsorship segment I've seen on youtube

[statesrights]

Obi Wan has and always will be my most favorite Jedi Master. Great vid. Thanks

[ramodamo]

While the discussion on Obi-Wan's transition regarding lightsaber forms was highly informative and enjoyable, your marketing of the knives was as entertaining as it was hilarious. In all, I love the video.

[deckers]

Great video as always mate, thank you for your consistent great content.

[DeathScepter]

Ataru's speed and agility compliments many lightsaber forms

[cherrytonshawty]

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.

[ChadHuey]

A knife built stronger than Rey’s plot armor. I died laughing. That was really funny.

[stevenlanham]

That is by far in 31 years the funniest adventism in my whole life.😂 Full on LOL in front of my family with head phones in. a highlight for this year!

Also is there a pocket knife?

[UnexpectedWonder]

It makes perfect sense that he adapted and evolved throughout his Life. 👏👏👏👏

[Aggamemnon]

Haha he said last duel with Vader knowing a new hope happens that takes some balls this guy has balls love your videos always man
