Ben's and Yoda's ascending into the force cant be compared
Yoda discovered QuiGon Jin first then he instructed Ben on what to do..
Each person served a person so their ascending can not be compared and had diferent meanings.
Ben knew he was dying on the Death Star before they even went. thats why he told luke to look for yoda. Ben's job was to hold them off enough so they can escape and he purposely waited for luke to see it.. In turn it Fukked up Vader's head because all he saw was a robe and no body
Yoda ascended after he taught luke everything, so in his eyes he was done.
i thought about that before i posted.
yet, yoda was in hiding.
whereas obi won was definately on the number one most wanted list, by vader's account.
as obi won had bested vader in his human form, and ushered him into cybernetics.
yet, obi won was not really in hiding and pretty much in plain site, on tat.
where all types of characters looking for bounties were at.
plus, clone war empire based storm troopers abound were.
also, i think obi won was the best.
as in battle when it counted he always achieved his goal.
whereas in combat, the other jedi's had flaws in combat.
plus, never saw their end game as clearly as obi won did.
obi won was technically never bested in combat.
plus, was one with the force that he knew how many conflicts he could encounter and come out the victor.
whereas yoda still was in complete hiding.
yoda and others even vader/annie got their asses kicked, in combat.
annie got beat so bad, he was consumed on taking out dooku for his hand.
that he swagged all on dooku.
yet, obi won was pretty much a squire to quigon, and bested maul.
to the point, obi won was elevated from that confrontation, to jedi.
which, imo created the ability for luke.
to also assail in lesser skill to jedi from a confrontation in defeat by a jedi.
plus, obi won never lost in combat no matter what the situation was.
now, granted in the time where yoda was fighitng pal.
i would say yoda was the best.
yet, real talk...obi won as an old grilled vet.
was basically toying with a cybernetically fueled and emotion filled vader.
like it was some low level no stress sparring session.
while vader, is trying to ramp up and playing up to the competition.
plus, using any type of advantage to get the best of obi won.
from shyt talking, distractions and all types of variables that obi won is not phased by.
plus, able to assail to a different plane of existence in combat against that high level of opposition.
as vader was not on his level in combat as a jedi.
plus, vader was around pal for decades after pal ran off yoda by force.
