And then Maul killed Satine, and then Obi wanted to kill him ever since. Besides, he was mostly just negotiating in the hopes that his girlfriend would survive the day.
Obi-Wan didn't even cradle Anakin, I doubt he'd cradle Maul.
He's more emotionally controlled than Anakin and less driven by rage, so what else is new? Doesn't mean he'd cradle his arch nemesis that took away at least two of his loved ones directly.
Actually it goes along with the story and the themes they were going for very well. Kenobi won because he moved on and didn't fall for maul's use of the old tpm moves. And emotionally kenobi wasn't out for vengeance and had "risen above" his struggles while maul clung to his. Kenobi, being the quintessential Jedi went above his hatred for maul.
Can't help but find it amusing when people say Kenobi demonstrating basic Jedi traits was out of character for him. As if the in-character thing to do would have been to ram his lightsaber through Maul's chest before whispering "this is for my Duchess" in his ear.
The fact this thread is still going is hilarious. Maul already got his ass kicked, its not open to discussion. Obi wan is his clear superior in skill/combative ability

Maul was far past his prime as was Kenobi. The mental retardation from the dopes who believe so needs to stop. Critical thinking is beyond quite a few of you.

An older Maul. It's like saying hey Lebron James beat Michael Jordan at 50 therefore he beats him at 30. No wonder you don't socialize with anyone since your brain seems quite slow.

Kenobi never bested Maul in the clone wars. I suggest rewatching their fights because you're either deliberately telling fibs or you're just delsuonal.
Maul spared his life in clone wars as well. Maul in his prime defeats him, handily.
