Por que Obi-Wan entregou seu sabre de luz para Anakin na luta contra o Conde Dooku?

Não foi necessariamente uma questão de mais eficácia, como de mudar as táticas. Até aquele momento, Anakin estava prestes a perder devido a gastar mais energia da Força do que Dooku . Luta de 2 lâminas mudaria o padrão de Anakin e forçaria Dooku a mudar seu padrão.

Além disso, está claro que este não foi um estratagema profundo de Obi-Wan. Foi um impulso do momento, passe de Hail Mary inspirado pelo desespero.

“Unusual,” Dooku said again. “But not enough to save you this time!” He came on hard, thinking to drive Anakin back and off balance as he had driven Obi-Wan back. But Anakin held his ground stubbornly, his green blade flashing left, right, and down so forcefully and precisely that none of Dooku’s attacks got through.

Off to the side, Obi-Wan understood that it couldn’t hold. Anakin was expending many times the energy of the efficient Dooku, and as soon as he tired …

Obi-Wan knew that he had to do something. He tried to come forward, but winced and fell back, in too much pain. As he collected his thoughts, he reached out with the Force instead, grabbing at his lightsaber and pulling it in to his grasp. “Anakin!” he called, and he tossed the young Padawan the blade. Anakin caught it without ever breaking the flow of his fighting, turning it under and igniting it immediately, putting it into the swirling flow.

Obi-Wan watched in admiration as Anakin worked the two blades in perfect harmony, spinning them over and about with blinding speed and precision.

Obviamente, não funcionou como esperado , pois Dooku ajustou com facilidade e rapidez o Anakin:

And he watched with similar feelings the working of Count Dooku’s red lightsaber, flashing ahead and back with equal precision, picking off attack after attack and even countering once or twice to interrupt the flow of Anakin’s barrage.

Obi-Wan’s heart leapt in hope as Anakin charged forward suddenly, bringing his green blade over his shoulder and across, down at the Count. Obi-Wan understood immediately, even before he noted Anakin’s blue blade coming up and over the other way—the green blade would push the Count’s lightsaber out of the way, clearing the path for the victorious strike!

But Dooku retracted impossibly fast, and Anakin’s down-cutting green blade hit nothing but air.

A idéia de Obi-Wan é que Anakin (que provou não ser páreo para Dooku em termos de técnica clássica de sabre de luz) deveria fazer algo altamente não convencional, lutando com uma segunda espada na esperança de que isso de alguma forma equilibra as coisas.

But Dooku is right, Obi-Wan thought through the haze of pain and exhaustion. Anakin is no match for him … unless Anakin does something unexpected. Using all his remaining strength, he reached out with the Force. “Anakin!” he called, and flung his lightsaber to his apprentice.

Infelizmente, isso acaba sendo ineficaz. Sem o conhecimento de Anakin, Dookan tem ensinado Grievous que positivamente revela em combate multi-lâmina.
