A little debate my family and I are having?

So my husband, brother in law and I are having a friendly discussion/debate on who would win a duel (not to the death) between Gandalf (for those that don't know - Lord of the Rings) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (star wars). We have rules like the lightsaber wouldn't automatically cut through Glamdring because of it's magical enchantments and things like that. We also decided that the mystical elements would pretty much cancel each other out and it would essentially come down to a sword battle. I'm pretty on the fence about who would win that, but the boys say that Obi Wan would have it hands down. What do you guys think?

(Book version of Gandalf, not movie versions. I refuse to acknowledge those atrocities and since it's my question, I can do stuff like that ;) )

    Gandalf.

    EDIT: After Scott was rude on your other question, it kind of got me thinking. I mean, Obi-Wan is tough, but I just... I'm partial to LOTR even though I like Star Wars too. But... it seems like it would be a very close battle, or Gandalf would use some sort of surprise to beat Obi-Wan.

    There. I tried to give reasons to back up my answer. :)

    If it was just a sword fight, Obi Wan hands down, if it was Gandalf's magic vs the force, definitely Gandalf

  • Obi-Wan. He's a Jedi Master! XD
