Q: Does spiritual growth (like Obi-Wan's in his exile) also improve a Jedi's ability to fight?
A: Sure it could. But like I said, there are a lot of other variables. If you’re asking if I think ANH Obi-Wan could beat RotS Obi-Wan in a fight: no, I’d bet on RotS.

If anyone's curious, this is what he said regarding Vader vs Sheev when people came to him with the top 5 list from Absolutely Everything You Need To Know:

Wouldn't take any of this seriously. It's all a mess.
We already know his greater force connection is not enough to compensate for his physical augmentation and that he Is combatively inferior to his former self.
Yeah but you (or whoever is in that conversation) kept saying the book says Vader > Palps. But it doesnt. It only says Vader > Palps in SABERS.
Matt kept replying theres lots of different factors in a fight.
From that conversation, I wouldnt take the list as FACT, but would certainly count it as 1 piece of evidence that needs to be weighed against all the other evidence.

Basically he is saying the Ben Kenobi certainly has had spiritual growth which would increase his combat effectiveness, but that is just 1 factor to consider, but overall hed give ROTS Kenobi the win over ANH Kenobi.
I take those comments with a grain of salt, imo Obi Wans final fight with maul showed how Obi Wan had truly mastered form three as he had easily defeated Maul
He did not easily defeat Maul. Dave Filoni wanted the scene to be a homage to the seventh samurai by Kurosawa, which is what star wars was partially inspired by.
And in real life, swordfights aren't very prolonged. The average fencing match lasts one minute, with 15 touches within. 1 touch happens every couple of seconds. One or two jabs (this is at the olympic level, let me remind you) is enough to get one touch. Which means that if you go for the kind of two handed attack that Maul went for, you have decided to end the fight. You either win, or you die in that circumstance.
So the fight wasn't short because Maul was bad, it was short because both fighters were so good.
