That “Obi-Wan isn’t perfect, actually” post reminded me of a little piece of trivia. In Legends, the council believed Obi-Wan was the only one capable of defeating General Grievous, because Grievous was trained to take a lightsaber style and turn it against the user, and most Jedi used a certain style to compensate for a shortcoming, but Obi-Wan used Soresu not to cover a shortcoming, but because it was a purely defensive style, and Grievous would have a hard time turning it against him. Mace Windu was also afraid of fighting Grievous, because he didn’t want Grievous to learn Vapaad.
oh god I can’t stop thinking about Grievous gloating in front of the Jedi Order about how he’ll always turn their own technique against them and they can’t win, and then Master Windu says “true, but what are you going to do against THIS” and Grievous expects a super-secret and dangerous weapon, but Windu just brandishes a polite and gentle Jedi and he’s like “??? what is this little man going to do? suggest to talk about it calmly and offer me tea?” (Obi-Wan looks a bit offended because yes, sometimes he does suggest that)
and then two hours later, Grievous is panting and enraged, screaming at Obi-Wan “ATTACK ME YOU STUPID JEDI” and Obi-Wan, still only blocking and parrying and not even sweating, is like “no, no, I don’t think I will”
