[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim': [QB] Keep in mind that Obi-Wan wasn't beaten by Vader, he gave up his life, recognizing that his part in the puzzle was over for now. Remember the look he gave to Luke, before lifting back his saber? Very confident, hopeful and perhaps relieved that Luke hadn't fallen down in some bottomless chasm so far. This little one would carry on the struggle. Maybe he had a premonition of the events in TESB or ROTJ. During his last moments, Kenobi didn't look fatigued or distressed at all, though he knew and had accepted that he couldn't beat Vader by force, obviously. Like two armwrestlers, where one is markedly stronger, but the other is better at defense and locking the elbow, it can go on a long time. About Dooku, I wouldn't agree that he was mellow against Kenobi/Anakin, he held the initiative almost all the time, and did beat Kenobi by being stronger (saberlock). I think saberlocks aren't only resolved by the one physically stronger, but also stronger in the force. He even grinned at Kenobi when subduing him, that's my favorite part of the movie, the <a href="http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/205/naughty.jpg">malevolence and dry, sardonic assurance in that smile</a>. That's why I think he's a cool guy, Lee. I know no other actor at that age that can deliver such imaginative and dynamic acting expressions. I once sparred with an australian 7th Dan Shihan, he threw himself over my chinks and comparatively sloppy guard poses like a hungry kitten, it was very humiliating. [/QB][/QUOTE]
