Is Obi-Wan Kenobi More Powerful than Darth Vader? There just isn't any way that in an even fight Obi-Wan beats Vader. Although Vader is supposed to be one of the strongest force users of all time, we actually haven't had a chance to see him using his full strength very often.
Darth Vader was the stronger of the two by far, but in most cases with lightsaber duels, the victor is the one with the strongest connection to the Force. Obi-Wan finished his last fight with Vader by hurling a barrage of rocks, and it's unlikely he had lost this level of power by A New Hope.
Darth Sidious was always stronger than Vader, which is why he ruled over him for almost 20 years and turned him into the Sith Lord he was.
Darth Vader's crushing defeat at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Disney+ series' finale is his worst loss yet in the Star Wars franchise. The following contains spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 1, Episode 6, "Part VI," now streaming on Disney+.
In Obi-Wan Kenobi, as mentioned Vader seems to have an even greater connection to the Force, and is more energised by it, perhaps also because of his actions before facing Kenobi: his old master has to watch in horror as Vader kills children like Anakin did the Younglings, snapping necks and spreading fear across the ...
Vader held respect for Tarkin which is clearly shown and the only case in which Tarkin outranked Vader would be the case in which Vader was in the Death Star or within Tarkin's Oversector which he likely was as Tarkin was Grand Moff of the Outer Rim Oversector, the largest one.
VS Ben Kenobi
Although we aren't really ranking these duels, we will say this: The Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi™ fight in the Obi-Wan Kenobi finale is Darth Vader's best. His raw strength is amazing to behold. Despite his heavy armor, the villain maneuvers through a tricky landscape with ease.
Infil'a then informed Vader that he would rid the galaxy of the two Sith Lords and restore light to the Force. Infil'a then blasted Vader off the cliff, sending him plummeting towards the ground below.
During his duel with Obi Wan Kenobi, Vader proved to be the superior combatant and was only defeated when he got blinded by rage and hubris, which allowed the calm and composed Kenobi to dismember him. Had Vader managed to keep a clear head and control himself, he would have defeated Kenobi.
Rey just couldn't match up to Vader. Her power may be greater but she doesn't have the training, in the Force or with a lightsaber, to be able to stand up to Vader. She'd try but it's doubtful she'd last long against the Force and lightsaber onslaught of Darth Vader.
1. Darth Sidious (Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace) Truly, the most powerful Sith Lord was Darth Sidious, better known in his public persona of Chancellor (later Emperor) Palpatine.
Obi-Wan was physically struck down in death by Darth Vader in the Original Trilogy. This key moment in the Originals satisfied the question with an answer: in physicality, Obi-Wan may be stronger than Anakin, but Vader is stronger than Obi-Wan.
In order to hide from the Empire, he needed to keep a low profile. This means that he's not in his best fighting form. Couple that with his wavering faith and he isn't really attuned with the Force, further impeding his fighting skills.
Obi-Wan Kenobi's most powerful villains in Star Wars include his greatest enemy Darth Vader and less well-known ones like Darth Krayt.
This information comes to light form the comic series Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith by Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli, in particular issue #7. Palpatine admits to Darth Vader that the Jedi he actually feared most was none other than Jocasta Nu.
His armor could be hacked and controlled by a device. In a turn of events, Darth Vader's right limb holding his dangerous scarlet lightsaber was moving of its own accord toward his neck. This was a dangerous weakness indeed.
The ever stronger fear
In the Phantom Menace, Master Yoda senses much fear in Anakin, however, this fear is not the understandable anxiety - Anakin is afraid to lose his mother, Shmi, whom he was forced to leave behind in slavery.
Before he discovered Vader had survived Mustafar, Obi-wan lived with the regret of killing his son, brother and best friend. After, he regretted not killing him and wondered if he had only made things worse by pushing Anakin further into dark side and Palpatine's arms.
But one Jedi stands above the rest and needs to start getting recognized as the greatest Jedi who ever lived. That is none other than Obi-Wan Kenobi. While this saga is ultimately the story of the Skywalkers, Obi-Wan is arguably the best and most pure Jedi to ever come out of it.
Darth Vader
One of the most classic cases of “good to evil” known to entertainment, and quite possibly the strongest Star Wars character ever.
