    Obi-wan was pushed down the shaft by Maul, holding on to something and had to force jump out of it while force pulling his lightsaber. He was in a much wirse position than Anakin before they each attacked.

      Anakins move is the same one Obi Wan did to Maul. Obi Wan saw it coming because it’s his move.

      Rebels spoiler

      He did this again when he finally kills Maul. He lures Maul into doing the same move that killed Qui Gon. He then counters it perfectly because he sees it coming.

      Every moment of the “Duel of the fates” stayed with Obi Wan through his life.

      Clearly Obi-Wan is the master of the High Ground. He knows its strengths and weaknesses as second nature enough to exploit as he needed.

      Anakin and Maul had no chance.

      *edit To add: Obi-Wan gets caught in a fight on flat ground in front of Luke? Just gives up.

      That’s right! But he was also closer, and in a do or die situation. He had nothing to lose. Anakin, on the other hand… pun intended.
