Well, '77 sabers had a cord like an orignal lore saber so not much options for a moulinet or figure 8 and they had to be hidden under robes or clothing
You see this in their fight when they're both doing that spinning thing. I always thought they both had the same thought of "I'll reset my stance and wait for him to attack", and so there was a second of them both spinning.
The spin move isn’t just flashy but it allows him to reposition and reset his stance to defend himself while keeping distance between him and his opponents.
@@leylaaydn7192 He may have not been "perfect" per say, but he was *still* an exemplary Jedi and also, it's not that Obi-Wan was a "bad" teacher either, it's that *Anakin was a bad student* more so.
@@alsimmons4504 no,it's more that Obiwan was a bad teacher,it's not Anakin's fault he was a child that was given to Obiwan to raise,teach and mold into a decent human.If Quigon was alive Anakin's fate would have been very different.
@@leylaaydn7192 Sorry, but *once again,* you're "incorrect" (in Anakin's words lol). Anakin was a bad student and it's not Obi-Wan's fault at all that Anakin had poor self-control and various deep psychological issues that were never properly addressed since childhood. Obi-Wan simply fulfilled a promise to Qui-Gon which was to *train* Anakin so that the latter could fulfill his role and duty as "The Chosen One" who would bring balance to The Force and nothing more than that. So it was *Anakin's* own lust for power, hubris, poor emotional maturity and other sorts of flaws that served to be his downfall at the end of the day and even if Qui-Gon was still alive, I don't think that the outcome would've be *that* much drastically different either tbqh.
Don’t forget Anakin does Obi-wan’s signature spin move when he kicks Dooku over the railing and then front flips over it in episode 3 after Dooku knocks out and pins Obi-wan under a falling balcony.
Considering how much of a fan he was before Phantom Menace and how he apparently made the saber noises while filming paired with how often he seems to do it, I think it's safe to assume Ewan wasn't meant to spin his saber but did so because he could 😂
It is interesting about "spinning progression", because Qui-gon did some spinning a little bit too, but with every new cycle of user-circle it became more and more progressive. Qui-gon -> Obiwan -> Anakin. Where Anakin mixed this into his style with the ultimate complexity.
3:52 you know I never noticed this till now, but if it wasn’t for the fact that Vader couldn’t die cause he’s in the original trilogy and also that Jedi aren’t supposed to kill, Vader would 100% be dead here if kenobi used the blade instead of the hilt
Is it just the editing of the 2 different movies or do they explain the color saber changes? From episode one to 2 to 3? Idk what it is but each movie feels “different” especially episode 1 to 3
Ive also noticed obi wan in the prequels is the only character who uses a reverse grip. He pulls it out in both attack of the clones and revenge of thensirh, butnonly for a quick couple swings then he goes back to normal
I mean, it’s not really a move that was given to him. It’s merely a parry or block that is pretty much to use in every form of sword martial arts and is basically done in every single movie with a sword. Nothing special.
Goddamn the camera work in the Disney films is atrocious! You can really see how far the quality dipped from the prequel trilogy to the sequel trilogy - both in choreography and cinematography.

3:27 This behind the back pass gotta be my favorite. Then he does Anakin's signature move WITH HIS LEFT HAND
OMG i didnt notice that Anakin Signature move!!! GOOD FINDING!!~
@@ktmysticlightI saw that the moment he didn’t I went crazy n yelled he fucking did that!!!
@@carlosbrown9144 Professor Snap (Harry Potter reference) see that he will say... 'you dare to use my own spells against me?"
If only Alec Guinness did the spinning move too
Well, '77 sabers had a cord like an orignal lore saber so not much options for a moulinet or figure 8 and they had to be hidden under robes or clothing
He did. I swear he did a spin. He started the Obi Wan spin tradition
@@thepeskyone, he also didn’t like the role
@pop-culturecinephile8144 that is irrelevant but whatever. I already knew that considering he didn't like Sci fi stuff
He decided that "hell, i'm too old for this crap, let Luke do all this dancing" 😂😂😅
despite their very different forms, they actually fought a lot alike. Obi Wan and Anakin are the greatest lightsaber duo.
You see this in their fight when they're both doing that spinning thing. I always thought they both had the same thought of "I'll reset my stance and wait for him to attack", and so there was a second of them both spinning.
This is exactly what Nick Gillard meant with ”signature fighting styles”.
Yea he let the actors form their own styles too and let choreography form somewhat around that
Ewan did the Hayden signature move so well at 3:30.
He even did it with his left hand...
vader got pissed too
"Let's try spinning! That's a good trick!"
I LOVE Obi-WAN’s spinning move. It’s SO ICONIC!
I will never stop feeling sorry for Anakin. I will always wish to ease his pain.
No one could Sadly
He literally murdered dozens of 6 year old children! He was basically the Adam Lanza of the Star Wars universe.
@@captainbryce1 more like eric harris even had the trench coat robe
The spin move isn’t just flashy but it allows him to reposition and reset his stance to defend himself while keeping distance between him and his opponents.
The True Chosen One! The Perfect Jedi.
Or *one* of the *most quintessential* Jedi at least.
He is not perfect,he was a bad master to Anakin.

I think he just likes spinning that saber 😂
HAHA i also think so 😅 When editing keep seeing him spinning around LOL

Obi-wan Spinobi.
This comment is underrated.

1:12 I've always wondered why he needed the spinning move a couple of times before killing that creature.
To look cool
いつ見てもプリクエルのオビワンとアナキンの剣の振り方大好きです。
この人たちの剣の振り方上手すぎでしょ！
I love how he narratively seems to have learned a spin move from Anakin. And arguably the coolest one.
1:39 The Bad Batch season 1 Aftermath Episode
Who has the better spinning move: Anakin or Kenobi? Well, at least I know that Anakin developed the spinning move from Kenobi!
Anakin's spinning is different and more complex but they are both amazing duelists
Anakin easily, Obiwan can't do as effortlessly as Anakin
It's the obi-ani spin. They are equal.
Obi Wan is clearly superior. Anakin's spin move got his limbs severed against Obi Wan.
I mean yeah obviously not the same but you can tell he basically got it from Kenobi who trained him.@@Andrea-tz7bm
It is interesting about "spinning progression", because Qui-gon did some spinning a little bit too, but with every new cycle of user-circle it became more and more progressive. Qui-gon -> Obiwan -> Anakin. Where Anakin mixed this into his style with the ultimate complexity.
Soooo, everybody says Anakin did the spin first but, um, I think he jacked it from Kenobi 😂😂
HAHAHA I think so too!
@@ktmysticlight If Ahsoka does it in season 2 I promise I'll sh*t a brick 🤣🤣
@@MEDAVIS219 HAHA then she will be the "REAL" Skywalker
Obiwan's spin is different,they are not the same.Obiwan juat spins it in his hand while Anakin spins it behind his back.
@@leylaaydn7192 Thanks Hawkeye, but the point was Obi Wan did the spin move first. Yes Anakin's variation is different but Obi Wan did it first
3:31 That was actually ANAKIN'S move.
You forgot to include the graham interview where ewan does it there too lol
he got the best choreograph here better than disney.
The only thing that sucked about the prequel fights is light not bouncing onto anyone or anything when the lightsabers were on.
I can't stop looking at Naboo without thinking of the BF2 map XD
Love how He started confusing Vader by fighting like Anakin. But yeah the Obi-Windup is classic.
the one from the clone wars movie is sick af
3:52 you know I never noticed this till now, but if it wasn’t for the fact that Vader couldn’t die cause he’s in the original trilogy and also that Jedi aren’t supposed to kill, Vader would 100% be dead here if kenobi used the blade instead of the hilt
I’m sure he would survive, granted he would be very close to death, but he survived being stabbed many times before in the comics, tis but a scratch!
Obi-Wan's spin move reminds me of a good ol fashioned baseball bat.
He was spamming that shit, wasn’t he, damn😂
Because the lightsaber is light as a feather, spinning it gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever…
It is however cool as hoth.
Now we know where Anakin got his signature move.
0:44 like how anakin just says, bitch I’ll do it backwards, don’t do that spin shit on me😂
I see Yoda and Duku in those elegant spins.
Is it just the editing of the 2 different movies or do they explain the color saber changes? From episode one to 2 to 3? Idk what it is but each movie feels “different” especially episode 1 to 3
Ataru???
1:00 my all time favourite
Ive also noticed obi wan in the prequels is the only character who uses a reverse grip. He pulls it out in both attack of the clones and revenge of thensirh, butnonly for a quick couple swings then he goes back to normal
i finally got to watch the first 3 movies. im in love with everything about it😍.
Spinning that's always a good trick 🤔
Obi-ani spin. Classic.
Anakin tried to copy his spinning jump like Obi Wan did Maul.. Unfortunately he lost his legs
And an arm.
I think he tried spinning because it's a good trick
1:25 count dooku is doing the same, is this how obi wan took inspiration?
That must be a soresu stance reset 🤔🤔🤔
2:12
What happened to good old star wars. Hayden and Ewan were so fuckin great. It's sad.
Anakin’s is better, but we all know he learned it from Obi-Wan..
I mean, it’s not really a move that was given to him. It’s merely a parry or block that is pretty much to use in every form of sword martial arts and is basically done in every single movie with a sword. Nothing special.
Goddamn the camera work in the Disney films is atrocious! You can really see how far the quality dipped from the prequel trilogy to the sequel trilogy - both in choreography and cinematography.
Maul had the High Ground … Obi Wan still got him, thats ironic
I've been trying to do that a lot.
1:04 that was the best move
They are both dope but ewan probably doesn’t think so but he’s wrong
Too nad he didn't do it in his last days
2:44 - mou kei!!!!!
Anakins spins is still better to me
theres a part in this if he didnt spin he would of cut darth maul's leg 🤣🤣🤣🤦
Obi-Wan is a BAMF
I think Obi-Wan's spin is his way of 'talking shit' . Anakin will taunt you like Spider-Man but Obi-wan will just simply end you with "style points".
It's like the most basic spin, that everyone does, what are you talking about...
3:31 That was actually ANAKIN'S move.
