This is not even a question. In both cases (Maul and Vader), Kenobi was fighting someone who was clearly outmatching him. When both, your life and the galaxy, are at stake, there is no room for honor and sportsmanship. You do what needs to be done.

Honestly I think the fact that obi wan clearly knew the techniques but would only use them if he was absolutely forced to, trying literally everything else before resorting to them speaks volumes for why he's considered a paragon of the jedi. It's kinda like why superheroes who always hold back are considered heroic. Guy could have been a blender sending limbs, torsos, and heads flying everywhere. But he chose not to.

[Sinfilled]

I love how Obi-wan just keeps using forbidden techniques despite being one of the most ideal jedi ever lol

[darylsdesigns]

I think Cal Kestis used an improvised use of Trakata in JFO. In his third duel with Trilla, he and the Second Sister were in a blade lock. Then Cal deactivated his lightsaber, causing Trilla to stumble forward and left her open to his follow up Force push

[teetbeezoon]

What about the usage of a Ghostfire kyber crystal? It would produce a nearly invisible and silent blade which was quite useful for stealth and during combat it had the ability to produce an after image of its wielder, confusing their opponent.

Wait a second! That last technique was used by Mace against Jango (in the extended Scene). With one blur of his lightsabre he cuts through his arms and then his neck.

1. In a duel to the death, there are no rules.
2. Being in a fair fight is the result of poor preparation and planning.

Trikata for Jedi “dishonourable”

Trikata for Sith “bitch move”

Id love to see the comparison of lightsaber forms between jedi and sith and how they differentiate

[InfinityOrNone]

I feel such techniques should be disparaged, but still taught and practiced. They are like strong medicine: terrible enough in their working that one should never wish to turn to them, but effective once need for them arises.

The sword *must* be a terrible thing, a tool of slaughter and bloodshed. It needs to be so, else it should become too easily turned to when words might do. But neither should it be neglected, for it must stay sharp to do its work when time has come to draw it.

Yes… I started studying The Art of Kendo and I was inspired by The making of Empire Strikes Back Documentary back when I was youngest in the 80s.. and how the actors of The Star Wars films studied Kendo for the lightsaber duels in the films. And this video has many parallels between the two arts. Electric video… Thank you for the fantastic content.

obiwan is still the pinnacle of a jedi because of how he used these techniques he didn’t use them recklessly he used them incredibly sparingly and only when he was no doubt going to die if not for the technique’s

Love Qui-Gon Jinn So much. I remember reading a book about him fighting his former apprentice (before obi-wan). So much respect, I think is his considered more neutrally aligned than good.

[DeathScepter]

Juyo needs superior self control to master. So Sora failing to master Vapaad due to his lack of self control is not surprising. For Vapaad is based on Juyo in which I said before, needs superior self control to even master it.

[evanulven]

In the case of both Vapaad and Trakata, they both boil down to the Jedi and Sith alike despising and fearing efficiency and effectiveness in combat. Sith are all about domination and fear, while the Jedi are all out fair play and mercy. Ever since my friends and I really started playing tabletop D20 Star Wars, my favorite character was a regular soldier that took up a Lightsaber and fought with pure efficiency with killing an enemy as soon and swiftly as possible. Battle has no respect for bullshit, after all.

Hands down the absolute best Star Wars YouTube channel in the game. The lord you discuss and how you word your videos makes the mind run endlessly 💙🤝🫡

[RaphBlade]

How ironic that Anakin/Darth Vader used Cho Mai twice in the films, using it to severe Luke's hand in Empire Strikes Back, & in Revenge of the Sith to cut off both Dooku's hands (payback for Dooku using it to cut off his hand in the past)! Still both Vader & Dooku were formerly Jedi so their use of it makes sense (Vader also likely used it on Luke to disarm him so they could talk & he could hopefully convince Luke to join him)!

[brokenbenjamin]

SW, I can't tell you how much all of your thorough analysis of my favorite franchise (discard everything Disney. I hate you all) has helped me through personal shit in my life. My favotite video is how Anikan, some time after falling and ending up in a space suit and cape, explains what it's like to be him. To feel a maximum of power but never be able to draw freely from it.

[shadygamingcm]

Anakin knowing these moves are forebidden and still having obi-wan do one to him, and knowing obiwan did the other to Maul...
"We're not so different you and I...."

[fobbles_]

Obi out here like “honor is useless if you’re dead!”
