anakin last longer than obi wan does against count dooku in their first duel. Then he killed him the next time they met. So if obi wan couldn't stand up to dooku, and anakin beat him easily why was obi wan even a challenge to vader, if Vader is stronger than anakin?
Also how could obi wan have beaten darth maul if his master could not? qui gon was the better jedi was he not?

Imo, Maul was on an adrenaline kick after he beat Qui Gon Jin and underestimated Obi-Wan. How many movies have you seen where the villian blows it at the end because he gets overconfident.
Now to the classic Obi-Wan turning Anakin into the human potholder fight in RotS. Look at Obi-Wans history. To say Anakin became a letdown is the understatment of the century. Remember, Qui Gon was ready to leave the Jedi order becuase Yoda and Mace Windu and the rest of the Jedi counsil were going to refuse Anakin's learning the Force. Anakin being seduced by the Dark SIde after all Qui Gon did for him was the ultimate slap in the face as far as Obi Wan saw. I think all that history is what gave Obi-Wan the advantage. Also remember, Anakin was a cocky little s.o.b. at the end. THere's the over confidence thing again.
Final *I promise* point...go to Obi-Wan's "death" in Episode IV. Vader really didn't beat him. Obi-Wan saw Luke watching the battle, smiled and raised his saber. He sacrificed himself because he knew the only way Vader could be redeemed was through his children

For one: He's OBI WAN! He is the main good guy, right? I'm a totall Star Wars chick, watched em since I was tiny! Another thing: Obi Wan felt anger towards both Darth Mal, for killing his mentor, and for Anakin, for killing Padme and the little Jedi children, whom he just liked. So the force was so good in him and with that he got revenge, which was sweet, ever so sweet. Also Anakin killed Mace Windu (however you spell it), who was a really, really good friend of Obi. So the good force and anger helped him defeat both Darth Vader and Darth Maul.

During obi wans fight against anakin was over confident and made that fatal jump to obi wan which was foolish. During obi wans fight against Darth Maul he also was over confident after killing obi wans master so when obiwan used the force to send the lightsaber through daurth maul he was caught off guard

Anakin actually isn't much stronger than kenobi, and in the final battle the dark side blinds anakin, the key to his defeat is what he says right before jumping "you underestimate my powers" obi wan didn't underestimate, him the blind side blinded anakin and made him overestimate his abliatys leading to his defeat.

obi wan was wise.......that was his strength..........
anakin was foolish......he was arrogant and overconfident......and he underestimated obi wan.......
the mere attempt at jumping over him was ridiculous........any decent Jedi would have killed any Jedi that tries to jump over him when he has the high ground
