Canon: Is Obi Wan closer to Anakin or Dooku?

RotS versions of course

This should probably get moved to the Canon Discussion forum.

IMO the main difference between them is not their power, but their fighting style:

- Dooku's easy victory over Obi-Wan is due to the latter being forced to go aggressive in order to be helpful in 2v1, and thus using his secondary (i.e., not his best) fighting style, with which Dooku is intimately familiar.

- Dooku struggles against relentless, powerful aggression like Anakin's. This is why TCW Anakin & Obi-Wan performed at a similar level against Savage Opress (who also gives trouble to Dooku) or against Ventress, but they definitely didn't against the Count. Even TCW movie Anakin was doing fairly well in their fight.

- Anakin's aggression plays into Obi-Wan's defensive style, which allows the latter to prolong the fight until Anakin slips up or Kenobi seizes a tactical opportunity (such as the high ground).

So I would say the three of them are near equals, with the overall edge going to Anakin.

Moved the thread. Please make sure to post in the appropriate sub-forum in future.
