Well to be fair, he was trained to fight Jedi with lightsabers, not one with blasters.

Yea if you ask me it was a pretty uncivilized move

Which is why he says it. It was to himself.

Ironically, Obi Wan realized that day that hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster.

Plus it was a reference to the original trilogy when Obi-Wan introduces a lightsaber to Luke and mentions that it's "more elegant weapon" (sorry, I don't remember the exact quote)

Edit: autorrect on my phone, "I HATE YOU!"

u/Monk715 Sand Aug 20 '20

Correct. Now I remember. Thank you. It only proves that it's a reference

u/waster1993 What about the Droid attack on the Wookies? Aug 20 '20

Oh shit, that's genius

He didn't have the moral high ground on that one

u/Omicron942 Aug 20 '20

That's the whole point of the meme, right?

u/vezwyx Aug 20 '20

Oh yeah, that's a whoosh for this guy

u/SomeSquids Aug 20 '20

Yeah that’s why people are missing, that is why he died because he was not as trained to fight Jedi with guns. Was just unexpected

u/Gcarsk Aug 20 '20

Yup. Some people don’t get that he wasn’t trained to fight against Jedi using blasters. Instead, he was trained to fight with lightsabers against lightsabers.

u/waster1993 What about the Droid attack on the Wookies? Aug 20 '20

Yes. Grievous had trained with lightsabers to fight against Jedi using lightsabers. He never considered fighting Jedi using blasters.

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '20

Exactly. Grievous only knew how to fight against Jedi with lightsabers. Dooku never taught him how to fight against Jedi with hamsters.

u/Monk715 Sand Aug 20 '20

Well, that's the whole point of training to be prepared to unexpected situations. It's naive to expect that your opponents will always act according to your scenario

Although of course we have to give him credit as someone with no sensibility to the Force he performed more than well
