Why Dooku Predicted General Grievous Would LOSE to Obi-Wan - Star Wars Explained

Count Dooku always had a soft spot for Obi-Wan. He basically viewed him as a pseudo grandson. Maybe that played a part in the gaps he left in General Grievous's training.

Obi-Wan Kenobi was trained by a Master who in Qui-Gon Jinn was always in connection with The Force and relied on it for guidance so, it was natural that his student would be like this too.

If Anakin had fought Grievous I’d imagine him using Vegeta’s lines when he fought Android 19 in DBZ: “Let me ask you something, does a machine like yourself ever experience fear?” “Oh my, I think you have an oil leak. Such a fragile unit.” “What a shame. Fresh out of the factory and already broken.”😂

In the Revenge of the Sith book, Obi-Wan was effortlessly deflecting 17 attacks a second.

Obi wan is such a underrated duelist. He is also a giga chad.

Grievous is indeed an underrated warrior

The same reason Kit Fisto bested Grevious. Kit Fisto being THE master of Form 1 made him an incredibly unpredictable duelist, very well rounded offensively and defensively. Take into account he did not fear Grevious as his former padawan had, he was able to keep Grevious heavily on the defense, something he had difficulty with. Fisto was completely dominating the engagement until the 3 Magnaguards came into play. You could tell how centered Fisto was the whole fight, completely in control.

The old mandalorians had a philosophy about dealing with jedi. It basically delt with extremes, their idea was that the best way to guarantee that you would kill a jedi would be to glass the planet they were on, but even then it wasn't guaranteed to work. Meaning some jedi were tenacious or powerful enough to withstand the planet they were on being glassed. I'm guessing that Obi-wan would of been one of these jedi. In fact, on this wise I think he is more powerful than Anakin in this regard. I'm not quite sure what Anakin/Darth Vader would of done at the height of their mortal power to withstand such a thing, but Obi-wan was an expert of being still and listening to the force. His tenacity with the force's help would allow him to survive anything the force wanted him to. Side note, this is why I dislike a lot of the new "cannon" about Obi-Wan. They turned a man who was stalwart and immovable into a blubbering idiot in the end... Dude got the Luke treatment hard...

Kenobi was just too much of a brick wall for fear to penetrate. another fun video thank you!~

It's funny that in the film Kenobi finished him off with a blaster. "So un-civilized"

Glad to see this channel growing. Easily the best Star Wars channel on Youtube. Keep up the good work.

I have an interesting thought about this video and a previous one that you had done about a year ago titled "Why Obi Wan terrified Count Dooku during their final fight" or close to that. So this video implies that Dooku knew of Obi Wans mastery of Soresu and hence one of the biggest factors Dooku knew he would beat Grevious. Also in your other video you'd mentioned that the reason Dooku was terrified of Obi Wan was because of his shocking mastery of Soresu and for other reasons too but the key thing I'm pointing out is when did Dooku know of Obi Wans mastery of Soresu or am I missing something?

I think that this was actually an act of sabotage by Dooku. Sideous constantly attempted to kill Obi-wan, laying numerous traps and sending Grevious after him throughout the duration of the Clone Wars. Sideous had hoped that Obi-wan's death would drive Anakin further to the dark side. But Dooku saw Obi-wan as his grandson, and refused to kill him even in his final battle in front of Palpatine aboard the Invisible Hand. I think Dooku (subconsciously or consciously) trained Grevious this way on purpose in direct defiance of Sideous's wishes.

7:15 woo buddy! Those revenge of the Sith comic panels are a true throwback!

Odd that Kenobi wasn't held in much regard from Grevious even though Kenobi proved to be Grevious's ARCH rival, for the most part, the Cyborg noting how his Master repeatedly defeating Kenobi or fighting him to a draw is 1 thing. But there's big differences between Grevious an Dooku an think that was part of what a where Dooku was getting at. Dooku an Grevious seemed to be the Clone War Darkside counterparts to Kenobi an Anakin. Especially since Anakin an Dooku apparently also were arch enemies too

Tartakovsky's General Grievous was an absolute menace. I wish that intensity was kept for Feloni's clone wars instead of just being a General Nuisance

Grievous is only underrated in the Disney canon. OG’s remember him as an absolute fiend that lived and breathed on demon time.

Very interesting!

WWWW Amazing bro

Wonderful!
