dude no offense but honostly if i were obi-wan and i cut off someones legs and arm, and they caught on fire, id think theyd die in a matter of time, and obi-wan wouldnt finish him, because he a jedi, and would just let anny die.
I still don't get it though. OB1 was about 25 in TPM when he was ranked Jedi Knight (and as far as I'm concerned Master). Anakin was younger, he was about 20-21 when ranked as Jedi-Knight. So time doesn't seem to be an issue.
And PVS: a time span of 30 seconds is still a time span, but a very short one. 😉
Yoda had JUST said that Obi-Wan was given the rank of Knoight in TPM, NOT Master.
The two things are obviously, therefore, distinguishable. Obi-Wan was a Knight with a Padawan- a Master to that Padawan, but not a Jedi Master.
Even if he was a Master by AOTC, something we really have no info about one way or another, that would have happened at some point between the films.
It is really not complex and I do not see the difficulty.

He attained master after Anakin became a Knight. Atleast, that's how it's supposed to go. But that kinda ranking is EU, and even him attaining council membership is EU to some people....hmm....so how did he become part of the council if only the movies count..And no I ain't directing this at anomoly. He's (luckily) cool with EU.
I'm cool with it, so long as its not used here as canon.
and im cool with it on its own. (not including the movies)
and it is canon that Obi-wan was a master, not EU in any way, whats not canon is WHEN, WHY, or HOW he became a master, but he is one never the less.
Because Anakin had just recently become a Knight. Usually Knights, if they take a Padawan, wait awhile until the Council says "Hey, you're a great Knight, take this munchkin!"
Yes, it's canon that Obi-Wan is a Master, and that he is on the Council. It's canon that those things happened to him in the past. Just not how.
