They do, but Sif's is never conclusively shown. However, she doesn't have a practical counter to TK, and a lightsaber might be able to at least melt her eyes, if nothing else.
Sif got shot at point blank range with a shotgun and wasn't injured (Agents of SHIELD). It might have been her armor that stopped it, but I still think it's a pretty good show of durability.
However, I do think Kenobi wins this one. Even without TK, he should be faster with the precog and that lightsaber could definitely ruin her shield considering that a crossbow bolt punctured it.

I don't watch Agents of SHIELD because I hate bad television, but good use of evidence, I approve.
I am thinking Asgardians are maybe 10 times as strong as a human and at least that durable based on feats from Thor and Marvel Agents of Shield. Which mean it takes a light saber slightly longer to cut her arms and head off than a normal human's. That's after her sword is cut into pieces by the light saber as she fights. (light sabers could handle any metal in the Star Wars universe on the movies didn't they?--I am assuming Asgardian metal may be stronger than normal metal but will still be cut by a light saber)

Star Wars Ep. 1 Qui Gon was struggling to cut through a door but he was slowly melting through it...I think they were blast doors, I'm not sure but even though it was taking forever to get through it was still doing it cause bits of the door were melting away due to the heat of the sabre

Those were blast doors though. Jedi cut down combat droids without issue throughout the series.

Yes. Those were heavy duty blast doors probably made from several feet of durasteel. And the only metal sabers didn't cut in the movie was Phrik, which is naturally resistant to a saber blade like Cortosis.
There was no metal in movie and tv canon that a Lightsaber couldn't cut through. Cortosis is from the EU(books, novels, games) meduims which Lucas always considered a different Universe to his. Lucas when making TCW(his own SW animated series) was specifically against the idea of a metal resistant to Lightsabers.
The lightsaber's didn't cut through Phrik, which is what Grievous' Magnaguards used on the tips of their staffs. Movie canon and tv canon as well.

As previously mentioned, Sif survived a shotgun round at point blank range in Agents of SHIELD. Still canon.
And while I do think Obi wan still wins this, there's a very good chance that he's not cutting through Sif as easily as he thinks. It will still cut her, but it might take more than a single strike to cleave through her (think how long it took to cut through a blast door). So if Kenobi makes the mistake of underestimating her, there's a chance he might lose.
