Urm. Excuse me.
In the years of dealing with you here, you have shown a - let me express it in a kind fashion - peerless unfamiliarity with most sources, mostly relying on stuff other people posted here (if even that) in order to "debate". This is, maybe, the reason why almost anybody here has pointed out your lack of knowledge regarding the SWU - at times.
In the present case, one might just notice your ignorance towards the source material and your absolute inability to use logical reasoning. So, just to repeat: A thought of Obi-Wan himself, a "feeling", as he descripes is, does represent a higher authority than a third person narrator (TPM novel) and, of course, the movie itself. The first stating that Maul was, basically, in control of the entire fight, and a better swordsman in comparison to both Jedi, while the latter not exactly showing the Sith Lord on the brink of defeat, correct?
This, especially, when we have the same Obi-Wan in the same source telling us that he couldn't sense the approaching Sith Lord on Tatooine, that Qui-Gon was "winded" after his brief encounter with Maul on the desert planet and that he, himself, could only hold on to the Sith for a brief time using his anger and exhausting himself with that, while Maul "fed" on that fury to become even stronger?
Even if one would accept that kind of "reasoning" - and I, personally, won't - this doesn't change the fact, that Maul himself is a superior combatant to Kenobi, who did just benefit from the circumstances - and yes: BY FAR SUPERIOR. We all have realized that you can't - and therefore don't even try to - argue this point. Trying to shift the attention away from this crucial fact also doesn't help your case.
So, just to repeat it: Maul > Obi-Wan
From this point, you may want to draw any conclusion to a speculative fight between Kenobi and Mighella. Oh. Wait. How do you manage to do that?
So because a trained Sith Lord, who has even been noted to have been one of the best Sith apprentices ever trained and descriped as "perfect weapon" by his master, can "ignore" force lightning and defeat Mighella by destroying her weapon, a Jedi padawan will be able to do the same? Just because the Padawan by luck and benefiting from the circumstances (or plain and simply put: CIS) survived his confrontation with Maul?
That's an astonishing line of thought, especially when we consider all those Jedi [Masters] who have shown precisely zero defense against the force lightning ability. Yet the - comparably - inexperienced Kenobi should be able to do so? The same Kenobi that, as you have pointed out yourself multiple times here, was inable to defend himself against a freaking force push? This guy should be able to do what Maul did, when - as Mighella noted just before her death - Maul could only do so because of being what he was - a Sith Lord. 🙄
Really. You should stop thinking that Mighella was some kind of push-over. She held Maul up rather long in saber combat (which is alone worth noticing, if we take into consideration that the Sith casually destroyed Jedi before), until her blade was destroyed and then did again stop him for some seconds using her force lightning. This all performed against a being that, by Obi-Wan's own admission, was far more skilled and powerful than himself, even to such an extend that Kenobi, using his anger and completely exhausting himself, couldn't overpower this opponent.
So, while I'm fairly sure that Kenobi could outduell Mighella with a lightsaber, I'm not too confidend that he would be able to shake off one of her force lightning attacks. He may win, though. But to state that Padawan Kenobi would "own" or "easily defeat" her, when Maul himself encountered some trouble facing the Nightsister, is - by all accounts - nonsensical.
in that case faunus would have gotten them himself. Nai isn't too bright.
Wow. The same Faunus who quoted from the very same source in his argument - even the same page, the same description of the fight from Obi-Wan? Uh-hu. Maybe he just wanted you to prove your assertion? But I'm glad that I am not too bright, oh great genius. 🙄
