Obi-Wan's Success Secret: Cut off the Arm

Have you ever noticed why Obi-Wan is so successful in battle? He always cuts off the arm of his adversary. For example:

Episode II
Cut's off Zam Wessel's arm in the Outlander Club.
Cuts up the Acklay in the Geonosian Arena.

Episode III
Cuts off Grievous' extra hands in the Utapau hangar.
Anakin on Mustafar. Enough said.

Episode IV
Dr. Evensan and Ponda Baba both met their fate in the Cantina.

Only in Episode I he killed Darth Maul by cutting him in half.
Not to mention the Clone Troopers and Battle Droids he killed.

That's why Obi-Wan is so successful.

	Luke Fly_swatter
date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 7:21 AM That's supposed to be "took" out the armies, not "too out the armies," which makes absolutely no sense at all, and makes me look very stupid. Ah well...

date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 7:33 AM well the jedi way is to dis Arm your enemies so hes doing what he was trained to do may the force be with you my friends

date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 8:37 AM I know, I do like a good intellectual debate!

date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 8:41 AM So successfull?? Really doubt it. Look at his battle against Jango Fett, and the 2 times against Count Dooku. Plus, Zam and the Cantina guys are NOTHING at all~

	bobafett2007
date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 9:50 AM I would have to say that Zam and the Cantia guys were ARMED, so they were something.

date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 10:46 AM But they weren't armed for long. Zing! So popular is this kind of manoeuvre, it has its own name in Star Wars lore: cho mai, the art of lopping off someone's weapon hand. There's more here

	gpg5325
date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 4:37 PM well jedi are taught to wound their foe so that they can bring them to justcie or question them, only kill them if need be

date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 4:40 PM you guys, do you have nothing better to discuss?

	darthwannabe33
date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 5:45 PM It must be great to have a lot of time on your hands to be able to discuss this topic.

	darth_supremacy
date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 5:51 PM Obi-Wan was trained in the IV of the VII fighting styles and methods taught at the Jedi Temple. I guess he was taught to cut of people's arms over there...

date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 6:22 PM I remeber all of those moves from some starwars insider mag!

	Darth Kevinmhk
date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 6:54 PM 1. Form IV has nothing to do with cuting limps, in fact none of the Form particaularly taught that. 2. Obi-Wan practice Form III in Episode II.

date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 9:36 PM Obi Wan isnt that great he wouldn't have beaten Maul if he wasn't so Pissed off at him and his red face

	texashalls
date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 9:55 PM obi wan is the most successful jedi of all. he killed maul, grevious, and defeated anakin! What other jedi took out as many big ones? All you darth fans are losers.

	mikedlt Isn't The Force like The Matrix?
date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 10:34 PM texashalls is RIGHT! Obi is THE MAN...he singlehandedly defeated all the great foes in SW...

	mikedlt Isn't The Force like The Matrix?
date Posted: Dec 22, 2005 10:35 PM And as an added bonus...young Ben is a HOTTIE!

	cestus183
date Posted: Dec 23, 2005 1:52 AM Obi-Wan RULES!!!!!!!!! He disarms his enemies single-handedly, has them eating out of the palm of his hand & leaves lots more time on his hands to cut off some more hands Man I'm confusing myself! All I know is I'm a big fan of young Obi-Wan (old Ben: POV eh?Pfeh. Excuses.)

date Posted: Dec 23, 2005 4:40 AM That'll be cool if they meant that to be the case, kinda like the added some strategy to his lightsabers duels! Rock and Roll.

date Posted: Dec 23, 2005 5:41 AM well, likek anakin said after killing dooku, "he was an unarmed prisoner..."

	DarthCannabis0
date Posted: Dec 23, 2005 7:10 AM Perhaps you are correct. He was Ankain's Master and we all seen how Anakin took care of Darth Tyrannus (Count Dooku). And we need to come up with some "Sith" names for Obi-Wan and Yoda etc., Y? Cause everyone must have wondered at least once "What if...?"

date Posted: Dec 23, 2005 8:02 AM And any limb that was not cut off by Obi-Wan was usually a Skywalker limb. Cutting off limbs is so common in Star Wars that they should add an emoticon depicteing a lopped off limb.

date Posted: Dec 23, 2005 8:13 AM I rememer counting the arms with one of my friends... lol its somthing like 13 hands and or arms hacked off in the entire saga. THATS A LOT O ARMS!

	JocastaQ
date Posted: Dec 23, 2005 9:28 AM Um, So lightsabers cut things off? how else would you disarm a jedi?

date Posted: Dec 25, 2005 2:54 PM Luke cuts off an arm and a hand, so i guess he gets it from his father.

	LeiaOrganaSolo911
date Posted: Dec 26, 2005 3:32 AM he might do great but he doesn't like to kill

	DarthDraga
date Posted: Dec 26, 2005 5:58 AM well to add on to what all u said, all i hav to say is that Obi Wan believed in dis-arming the opponent not killing him or her straight up.He must have told Anakin to do the same and Luke also.By doing this he may not kill the enemy but will stop him or her and also leave them useless and hopeless.

	emperorshand1
date Posted: Dec 26, 2005 8:14 AM well it seems to me it'd be rather obvious b/c he walks aroundwith a laser sword so you'd think swingin it around in a fight you wouldn't care what u cut off as long as ur foe is dead.

date Posted: Dec 26, 2005 11:08 AM Style IV is taught to "put you in the middle of the storm" that is probably a good place to cut arms off....

	Darthruler99
date Posted: Dec 26, 2005 2:11 PM Look at anikin, his apprentice, he cut off dooku and a nemoidian (one of the sep leaders, not gunray) on BOTH arms. Obi's passed the gift.
