He has more gadgets, but not necessarily more resourceful.
Jango nicked a ship and relied on armour:
Khan BUILT a massive near galaxy class battleship in one relaity, lured in another top fed ship and stole that with an awseome plan in the other and screwed the federation with cunning, resourceful plans. Twice.A resourceful guy would have had a better jetpack.
/Your argument
Resourceful: "Having the ability to find clever ways to overcome difficulties."
A difficulty that is not prepared for is different than simply being an engineer: building a ship over a year or two is not necessarily resourceful. Possessing superior reflexes and strength is not resourceful, either: killing Klingons with a surprise attack with your superior physical abilities is mildly resourceful but it does not quite characterize resourcefulness.
Battling a Jedi Master with no force abilities, without knowing you would be attacked, and actually escaping with all limbs intact is resourceful. He used all weapons at his disposal and he barely escaped with his life: that's quite resourceful.
Obi-Wan didn't do just fine: he did spectacularly. It is a testament of Obi-Wan's abilities as a Jedi: he's pretty badass to take on someone as resourceful as Jango.
His Jetpack was crushed by a rhino-beast thingie: not much he could have done, there. But I agree: he should have a better jetpack.
I would agree with you about Khan if you just replaced "Khan" with "Kirk" or "Scotty". Scotty was the resourceful one in that situation: not Khan. Khan didn't have some sort of master or elaborate plan. His plan amounted to: "Well, shit, we're all fuucked. But if I can get about the dreadnaught ship, I can fuuck it up because I HELPED build and design it." Also, he would not have made it to that ship without Kirk's resourcefulness. 😄
