Makes plenty of sense. The first time Kenobi was sitting their watching then make their attack before moving.
Only time he has ever done it is on a place specifically mentioned to be strong in the dark side. Otherwise, never.
Sure, and it doesn't mean he is superior (inferior firce users often send their superiors flying with a push). And certainly not to the extend that he could rag doll him at will.
If we're just going to assume Kenobi improved since then without any evidence to suggest as much, then I'll just assume that SOD Maul > TCW Maul. Heck since Maul never even died I'll just assume ROTS Maul > SOD Maul.
Compare their fights with each other or against similar opponents. But don't give me that ROTS Kenobi > All other Kenobi's and Maul's just because he is.
Kind of like how Kenobi and Ventress Ran for their lives from Maul and Savage because they were getting handed their asses.
And Kenobi never handed Maul his ass anyway. Kicking him back without injuring him at all, without flooring him even once and without disarming him of his weapon. ... is not handing him his ass. Not by a long shot.
On the other hand Maul's Force push actually did Floor Kenobi and actually did disarm him. So even in the fight where you're claiming "Kenobi kicked Maul's ass" It was actually Maul who landed the more lethal blows on Kenobi than Vice Versa.
So it was nothing like (for instance) the time when Ventress fought off Kenobi and Skywalker KOing Kenobi within seconds and Force choking then both at the end. Now that was an Ass Kicking!
Not really. Kenobi was knocked down and he wanted to surprise them, not because he wanted to, but because he had to. The way you're wording it makes it seems like he had the advantage there, and he really did.
Because of Maul and Savage. Not to mention theses two feats you're continuously trying to ignore simply because they show how inferior Kenobi was at least there.
Kenobi controversially has never overpowered Maul once. Multiple occasions of getting your ass handed to you do not make you a superior Force user.
Ignore? Not at all. However, neither suggests he can rag doll Kenobi at will.
Once was because Kenobi had his concentration split between two due lists and the other was by a force push that clearly caught him off guard. So yeah, once again not seeing anything suggesting he could tag doll him with the force.
I do believe Maul's force abilities are superior though. But that's mainly due to his superior feats in that regard rather than anything that happened in this duel.
Either of the Sith can take Kenobi out with TK as all of the examples listed have shown. Malgus applies TK even more brutally than Maul does, and given Kenobi's past run ins with darksiders it would do a number on him at the very least.

TK'd=/= ragdoll, at least not int he way I'm using it. Either way, we clearly see Kenobi being lifted, casually moved, and flung. Kenobi has never shown the best Force defense, but then again Kenobi only has the chance to fight powerhouses.
And without anything to support he can actually defend himself and with more evidence to the contrary, yeah I'm going to say Maul can TK him pretty easily.
With Kenobi having next to none against anyone without a fractured mindset and plenty of evidence to the contrary, I'm not surprised.
Maul ran because of Savage's injury not becaue he lost.
If not, he shouldn't able to knock out Obi-Wan with a powerful force blast.
Just because you like Obi-Wan or you don't like Maul that doesn't change the fact. Maul is slightly faster, equally skilled and has much better TK than RotS Obi-Wan.

After rereading the comic this makes the most sense for that scenario. The Jedi were hunting the Sith and so the Jedi mentioning "the dark side is strong here" was their clue that they were on the right track.
Aside from that line no mention was made of that planet having any relation to the dark side whatsoever.
