Uh, when you're fighting as much as Revan did you will get stronger, watching Revan fight alone would probably make you stronger, learning his brilliant techniques, etc.
Anywho, Jolee is more powerful than most give him credit for IMO, he lived in the Shadowlands of Kashyyyk for many years, a lot of wookies are scared to go down there and for good reason, many died. He killed four of those Bull Katarn things without breaking a sweat. That was of course, before he met Revan and multiplied his power. So I say Jolee wins this pretty easily.

This is a good point, but we don't know for sure Ben Kenobi didn't fight anyone, Tatooine is a very dangerous planet as well, maybe not as dangerous as Kashyyyk, but still is has its troubles. On this planet you have the Tusken Raiders that can try and raid his home, Krayt Dragons coming out of the canyons and caves, smugglers, thieves, and etc. Most likely he had to fight someone or something and maybe even in great numbers.

Not even close to the dangers Jolee faced.. Seriously the shadowlands are far more dangerous then Tatooine is
True...I was just trying to point out that Ben Kenobi was not totally without experience for those twenty years, between episode III & IV. There still is struggle between these two old hermits. And if I'm not mistaken Darth Maul returned in one comic to assinate Luke Skywalker as a child and Ben Kenobi fought him again and won...if this is true...he sure worked his skills in this battle.
He isn't bad, he just didn't fight as much as Jolee did. There is a difference between killing a few people now and then that are hardly worth fighting and killing a lot of creatures that almost everybody has a hard time with.
Jedi travelled around in those area's killing a lot of creatures but Wookies got their asses handed there, most humans didn't even come there to scary. Tatooine still had people walking everywhere I really don't think you can compare the two. Jolee has a lot more recent experience then Obi does. Don't get me wrong I love the old guy but against an old guy like Jolee? Don't give him much of a chance
I say that Obi1 would win. We don't know if ben was just there at his hut all the time. The desert has many dangers. And don't forget that all that time alone he was getting stronger with the force. Like the little greeeen frieend says: "Great warrior, hmm? Wars not make one great." So with this I mean that the fact that Jolee's always fighting don't make him more powerful.
Ben Kenobi: (1) Has a beard (2) Is a hermit (3) Has funny comebacks (4) Guides a Jedi (Luke Skywalker) (5) Disappeared from the face of the galaxy to only rise again to sacrifice his life for the Republic. (6) Lived in a hut.
Jolee Bindo (1) Has a beard (2) Is a hermit (3) Has funny comebacks (4) Guides a Jedi (Revan) (5) Disappeared from the face of the galaxy to only rise again to sacrifice his life for the Republic. (6) Lived in a hut.
These two have alot in common. They are equal in many traits...But in battle who is the greatest swordsman? Jolee did come from a more dangerous world than Tatooine, but fighting creatures in not the same as fighting another swordsman.
And to clarify, which Jolee Bindo I'm talking about is the one that just gets of Kashyyyk...the same for Ben Kenobi right when he just gets off Tatooine.
In that case its going to be harder for Jolee but I still think he would win, he still survived the Shadow Lands. And no fighting a creature is different then fighting a guy with a lightsaber but neither of them did that any time recently and then it depends on other things. Jolee trained his skills more then Obi did
