Note me specifying 'in the back.' Kenobi could block it if just fired normally, but zap when his saber's busy.
What str feats do they have to suggest they can break his def?
They probably aren't going to simply overwhelm it, but they are both young, high in endurance, skilled, and strong in the force.

Kenobi has deflected blaster fire from multiple directions. He's also deflected fire from an army of droids. Nihl's and Talon's offense won't bother him too much.
An instant later the Force had him hurtling through a storm of blasterfire as every combat droid in the control center opened up on him at once. Letting go of intention, letting go of desire, letting go of life, Obi-Wan fixed his entire attention on a thread of the Force that pulled him toward Grievous: not where Grievous was, but where Grievous would be when Obi-Wan got there...Leaping girder to girder, slashing cables on which to swing through swarms of ricocheting particle beams, blade flickering so fast it became a deflector shield that splattered blaster bolts in all directions, his presence alone became a weapon: as he spun and whirled through the control center's superstructure, the blasts of particle cannons from power droids destroyed equipment and shattered girders and unleashed a torrent of red-hot debris that crashed to the deck, crushing droids on all sides.
They can both attack from from odd angles, and he can take anything they've got. What feats in strength do they have to suggest they can break his defense?

Anakin is appreciably stronger in the force, more skilled, young, and high in endurance and Kenobi held his own against him.

Blocking blasters bolts is easier than blocking lightning. Lightning comes in a stream.
And note that while he's deflected blaster fire from multiple directions, I don't think he's done so *while dueling a master*.

Raw strength is not only way to break his defense. Heck, I don't recall him having much problem with raw strength.

And there's one of him, and Kenobi knew his style inside and out. Anakin also didn't use force attacks much.
Two foes give a lot more to worry about than one.
