Anakin getting up is a toughness feat not a force feat.

Yeah, except his saber. And didn't he reflect Marek's lightning?Call it what you want. Kenobi couldn't do it against Dooku, he won't be able to do it against Vader.
I didn't know Vader deflected Mareks lightning. Good point. I haven't gotten that far in TFU.
Vader was bloodlusted when facing Kenobi. A weaker and out of shape Kenobi as of ANH. If Vader could have force owned Kenobi he would have gladly done so. Vader is weaker than Anakin plain and simple.
This is ridiculous. GL himself said that " We'd seen old men, young boys, and characters who were half-droid, but we'd never seen a Jedi in his prime." when talking about the prequels. vader and Ben were weaker than they were in their prime. Vader will not beat prime Kenobi when old Kenobi could fend off Vader. If GL is wrong, SW is doomed.
Wait wait. GL was specifically talking about the Lightsaber combat. He wasn't talking about Force TK or anything like that.
Yes numerous sources have ROTS Anakin being more powerful than Post-Suit Vader. But that doesn't mean his TK was superior.
The Force isn't just used for TK, it's used for all abilities related to Lightsaber Combat.
Dooku's TK was clearly greater than Anakin's (though he did a good job of tanking it in their last fight on Naboo). But still by ROTS it seems Skywalker is overall more powerful in the Force than Dooku.
Doesn't mean his TK is a match for Dooku's. If it was then Kenobi wouldn't have lasted a minute against Sith Anakin.

I see. I figured Anakin started using TK more often after becoming Vader to compensate for his new body.

Probably did. Add 20 years of Dark Side mastery and it's no surprise Suit Vader's TK was beastly.
But ROTS Anakin seems to be more powerful overall Imo. Just that he uses that power best through his Lightsaber prowess.
Not that his TK is bad or anything as he seems to be capable of tanking Dooku level TK attacks too.

Dooku is superior to RotS Anakin with the force. Lets just say Vader is Dooku's equal with the force (which he is atleast).When Dooku smashed Anakin with the force: Anakin got up after 5sec
When Dooku smashed Kenobi with the force: Kenobi was unconsciousMy point is Vader would be able to treat RotS Kenobi just like Dooku treated him, maybe even better.
No, incorrect. Vader's TK in ROTS is shown to be significant. He ripped down that statue in the Jedi temple and blew open the door. This is the same Vader who wasn't able to overpower Kenobi's force defenses. Yes this is mind****ed Vader, but to say he was mind****ed to the point that OT Vader will be able to force pwn him. I really doubt it.
Especially considering the implied equality between ANH Kenobi and ANH Vader.

Darth Vader has destroyed an entire temple, ripped apart a building sized droid, disintegrated a stormtrooper, moved ships, and so on (not to mention his beasltly TK in TFU). If Dooku and Maul can casually overpower Obi Wan with TK, then so can Vader.
Vader has more impressive TK feats than dark side Anakin, and far more control.

Vader could not overpower old Kenobi. And Kenobi was out of practice and weaker than ROTS. Vader even notes how his powers have gotten weak.

Nice sourcing of TFU one of the most exaggerated sources to date. I really have a hard time believing that if he could, Vader wouldn't have loved to force choked Kenobi like Dooku did to him.
In "Fightsaber" it was stated that during ANH, Vader was unable to breach the defenses of Kenobi's Soresu until Kenobi voluntarily yielded/allowed a Vader to strike him down-- and at that point it had been "many years" since Kenobi had been involved in a lightsaber battle. So if Vader couldn't even breach the defenses of a rusty Kenobi, then he certainly isn't touching Kenobi when his saber skills were at their peak(RotS.) So Kenobi definitely takes the saber battle.
Not sure about the all-out scenario. That era Vader never really used his force-powa in the midst of battle. /shrug

I thought he 'merely' shook it.
No, I think you're talking about the feat in Last of the Jedi series, when Vader force choked Malorum and his rage shook the jedi temple and crumbled a wall.
The feat I'm referring to came from a comic. (Sorry for the lack of sourcing)

No, the feats that I mentioned came from comics. I had, a while back, posted a link to a thread that had comic scans of most of the feats that I mentioned.

So you're saying just because he didn't, that he couldn't? Dooku didn't TK Obi Wan or Anakin when duelling them in AOTC, but that doesn't mean he couldn't.
All I'm saying is that Vader has more impressive TK feats than Anakin and far more control. And if Maul can casually TK Obi Wan, I'm not seeing why Vader couldn't.

Maul did not casually TK Kenobi. And even when he did, Kenobi still won their duels.

I could be wrong, but I believe that the novel did imply that it took at least some effort for Dooku to best Anakin in the saber duel.
The point I'm trying to make is, that just because something does not happen, does not mean it can't happen. That's the logic Arhael uses. Vader's TK feats are beyond impressive, and they lead me to believe that he can overpower Kenobi with TK if he wanted to, especially if Maul can, unless we assume Maul is better than Vader in that area.

Kenobi only bested Maul once. All their other confrontations ended with Maul either beating Obi Wan in lightsaber duels, or TKing him. Even when Kenobi was besting Maul, the fight still ended with Kenobi ragdolled and left buried.
