In the final battle of Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan and Anakin fight Dooku. Obi-Wan is defeated and gives his own lightsaber to Anakin, who then starts fighting Dooku with two lightsabers. 1:30 of the video ( ) Why exactly is the logic behind Obi-Wan's action? It seems to be one of those details which ordinarily your thoughts can skip over quite easily, but once you actually try to analyze the detail you find it makes no sense. If fighting with two lightsabers is superior to fighting with one lightsaber, then why don't Anakin (and most Jedi) generally fight with two lightsabers? Perhaps there is a shortage of lightsabers in the Jedi order. But this doesn't seem likely. If fighting with two lightsabers isn't superior to fighting with one lightsaber, and Anakin (and most Jedi) fight with one lightsaber simply because they have been trained to fight that way, then it would follow that giving Anakin a second lightsaber would not increase his effectiveness. It might even decrease it. Thoughts?
