Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn stand among some of the most powerful Jedi in Star Wars, but one Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith detail proves that the student surpassed his teacher. Of course, many will point to the simple fact that Obi-Wan Kenobi was able to defeat Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace as proof of Obi-Wan’s superiority, seeing as Qui-Gon failed to defeat Maul.
Qui-Gon Was Trained By Count Dooku Close Qui-Gon was trained from a young age by one of the Jedi Order’s finest lightsaber fighters, Count Dooku. Long before Dooku turned to the dark side, Qui-Gon was taught the basics of how to be a Jedi. In addition to Dooku’s fantastic lightsaber skills, Qui-Gon also inherited his master’s disregard for the Jedi Code. He often went with his gut, even if his gut went against the Council’s wishes.
The sheer fact that Obi-Wan needed counsel from Qui-Gon to discover the secret of Force ghosts may make it sound like Qui-Gon was still the better Jedi, despite Obi-Wan being in his prime at the time. But prowess in the Force does not necessarily equate to skill in lightsaber combat. So, while Qui-Gon may have beaten Obi-Wan in a contest of Force-sensitivity, there is still strong evidence Obi-Wan would have defeated him in a lightsaber duel.
Even Qui-Gon and Grievous’ lightsaber forms were similar in a way. Qui-Gon primarily specialized in Ataru, the fourth lightsaber form. With Ataru, he focused on attacking, quickly ending most battles before they even began. Similarly, Grievous fought in an offensive fashion. In Legends, Grievous used Makashi, the second lightsaber form, which focused on dueling other lightsaber opponents. Nevertheless, with four arms to spare, Grievous’ lightsaber form often became sloppy and mixed.
Perhaps one of the most defining differences between Qui-Gon and Grievous lay in their Force powers. Grievous had little to no Force-sensitivity, yet he still managed to mimic lightsaber styles of a Force-wielder. Just as Qui-Gon overcame his mortality and learned to become a Force ghost, Grievous became a fearsome ligthsaber fighter despite his lack of Force-sensitivity.
As soon as Grievous noticed that Obi-Wan had the upper hand in their battle, he tried his best to flee from him. In the end, the only reason he turned to face Obi-Wan was due to him hanging off the landing platform. He correctly evaluated that he wouldn’t be able to take off with Obi-Wan so close at hand, something Qui-Gon would likely have deduced as well. Nevertheless, Obi-Wan still emerged victorious against Grievous.
