>an elegant weapon for a more civilized age
What time period was he actually referencing? Pre-empire when there were giant wars breaking out and the Jedi couldn't even defeat droids?
The Old Republic when the empire was at a height of power and sith were literally everywhere?
Where is this civilized age, old man?

he was senile by a new hope
The hypothetical civilized age before the Empire in a different, vastly superior backstory to the Star Wars films that we can only dream of.
Maybe the time of the Old Republic that was wiped out by new canon?
Or maybe 1000000000000000000000000 years ago.
>not getting that he says sheevilised age
lmao
>an elegant weapon
>uses it to cut off some insect headed alien's arm, resulting in a bloody mess, that same day
>could have just force pushed him away instead, being a jedi and all
bravo lucas
From Obi-Wans perspective pre-empire war-time was a million times more civilized than where he is now.
He went from Coruscant (A hyper wealthy upper-upper-upper class area) where he did nothing but meet with prestiguous politicians, the masters of the Jedi council in a temple literally next to the chancellors palace, and act as a war-general commanding planets, to shitting about on some dust ball for 18 years fighting sand people.
can we agree that obi-wan was a shit tier fighter? Just think about it, Grievous (who has no control over the Force) almost beats him; the only way Kenobi won was by using a blaster.
Kenobi won against Anakin so do you think Anakin is weak too?
Also I know it's shit but Grievous is technically a cyborg so he has control over force.
Are you aware Star Wars is written for children?
Do you also want to discuss the latest Mr Men book?
The Force being something you could use to move objects wasn't a thing until Empire.
...
Because a more civilized age is really hell
Just another stupid fucking old person.
>le get a job meme
>le be productive meme
>le get married and have kids meme
Just another reason we need to gas them all.
Luke, did I ever tell you about Sith alchemy?
Palpatine would use this space magic to create demon wookies to do his will. he was a good friend.
Yeah, Luke's torpedoes did a 90ยบ turn directly into the heat vent totally on their own.
...
Well, yeah, they did. That's why every other rebel pilot in front of him tried to make the same shot - because that's how their missiles work. Luke used the force to sense the best time to fire.
>that's how their missiles work
ok
How else were the other pilots going to make that shot?
He's talking about the time Anakin used his lightsaber to kill all the sandpeople and then cut down the younglings in the Jedi school. Truly a more civilized age.
>That's why every other rebel pilot in front of him tried to make the same shot
>How else were the other pilots going to make that shot?
Kamikaze style
Well Obi-Wan always acted "nobler" than others. Remember when in Episode 3, Obi-Wan killed Grievous with a blaster then threw it saying "So uncivilized"
except you know, when obi-wan later on the death star used it to move some shit to distract the stormtroopers. Or when Vader used it to choke that guy.
This line was created before the prequels ruined the backstory, to give mystery to the galaxys history.
Yeah, they made him a general and he doesn't even know the tactical benefits of a long range weapon.
>an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. This age was only a mere 17 years ago. Yes, Luke these robes I'm wearing aren't to blend in but all Jedi wore such rags. We call ourselves knights but were more of a monk.
>Obi-Wan killed Grievous with a blaster then threw it saying "So uncivilized"
right after trying to kill grievous by ripping his beating heart out of his chest. much more civilized from a certain point of view
...
grevious deserved better than the 10 minutes of screentime he got. should have been in since the beginning of episode II instead of just ominous old sith dracula
*force jumps behind u*
*stabs u with lightsaber*
heh nothing personnel, blasters are inferior to glorious khyber crystal folded 1000 times
DAMN, Sheev look like dat?
Don't peeve the Sheev
CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW
A new age can begin as soon as the sun may set.
He had the high ground though.
they weren't children, they were younglings
I want to rape a nun.
Obi Wan is all about the swordfighting.
>Chopped mauls saber in half, then chopped him in half
>Cut off grevious extra arms like chump change.
>Cut Anakin into pieces
Everytime he has lost is due to the force or something else. You just can't beat his frustratingly good defense in a fair saber fight.
george lucas dont give a SHIT about story, lore or plot. If you want that in a Sci Fi series, just watch Star Trek.
He lost to Vader in a fair fight tho
True, but there was no way out. Sooner or later stormtroopers would've gunned him down anyways.
>pre-empire
>Wars
There were no full scale wars before the empire rose to power.
There was the Clone War and the Sith/Jedi War before the reformation of the Republic.
You can still be civilized and have wars.
This, ''civilized=no war'' meme needs to stop.
It's 'elegant' because it's useless, they weren't intended as serious tools of war.
Republic Jedis were basically just diplomats at that stage, so they only ever had to use impractical ceremonial weapons. That's what he means by more civilised age.
That depends who are you fighting and if you win.
If you're just fighting barbarians and generally curb stomp them like the Roman Empire or British Empire did, you are seen as spreading the light of civilisation.
But it's not considered civilised if it's just costly and l indecisive battles between equal powers which only result in the loss of life and trade.
He views blasters like how medieval society originally viewed crossbows. They're weapon of the pleb, anyone can use them but a sabre takes serious skill.
Yes quite elegant
Whether its mowing down jedi children or leaving your best friend limbless in burning agony a laser pistol just does the job too quickly
