The Non-Canon Expert looks at how Palpatine was forced to give Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi at least a small degree of respect for his victory over his apprentice Darth Vader on Mustafar, explaining how it wasn’t Obi-Wan’s lightsaber skills or power with the Force that impressed him, but the way in which Obi-Wan was able to move away from the practices of the Jedi Order that made the Jedi vulnerable to the Sith Grand Plan for decades. This is a Legends story for Palpatine with information found within the Legends novels «Star Wars: Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader,» «Star Wars: Darth Plagueis,» and «Star Wars: Labyrinth of Evil.»
