Wut? Both times took him a relatively large amount of time to stand up. 😬
Yes a few seconds... And in the first case he was simply waiting for the bros to make their move. Anyway, the idea that Maul can casually own Kenobi with TK is laughable. In the first case, Kenobi is otherwise also preoccupied with engaging Savage and the throw hardly fazes Kenobi. And the second time it's a force push...
I'm not sure where you're going with that. You claimed he can TK Kenobi "casually", that he "doesn't even have to try."
So why doesn't he? The answer is, because he can't. He can TK him when certain opportunities present themselves but as far as just casually TKing him whenever he feels like it...
It's not like the duel between the brothers and Sidious, where Sidious can pretty clearly TK as he pleases but instead chooses to have some fun. Maul hates Kenobi for what he did to him in TPM. I think if he could just ragdoll him as he pleases, he would, instead of trying to double team him with his brother.

He only left because Savage was/is a shit duelist. Still, he TK'd Kenobi with a flick of the wrist. Then he TK'd them again while they left.
Savage is a decent duelist. He's skilled and fast enough to hold his own against council members. His main advantage, though, comes from his brute strength.
Everything else, I agree with you. Maul has dominated Kenobi more times than not. That fight in the cave was circumstantial, with Maul being the one who ended it when he decided to. Savage is a bit sloppy and the environment they were fighting in gave Kenobi the opportunity to take advantage of Savage's weakness as a duelist. As for Maul, he has never intended on killing Kenobi right away. We've never seen Maul fully unleash himself on Kenobi, nor has Kenobi faced CW Maul with his pair of more humanoid legs. The legs Talzin gave Maul, Maul seemed a bit sloppy himself with them.
@Ares, Maul and Savage were running before Kenobi came out of the cave.
@Trocity, Maul has thrown Kenobi around pretty consistently.
@NewGuy, What are you talking about? When Maul casually force choked Kenobi while fighting off another jedi? I haven't read the entire comic, just strips, but I did question Silver2467 about the planet being a DS nexus, and he told me the reason the area was strong with the dark side was due to the presence of Maul and Savage, otherwise the planet wasn't even populated by force users, nor was there any reason for the place to be strong with the dark side until the arrival of Maul and Savage. I took it as a similar case when Anakin and Kenobi stated that they sensed Mustafar being strong with the dark side on account of the holographic presence of Sidious (unknown to them). Do you mind posting the scan stating it was a nexus?

@S66: Yes well, he was obviously the wink link of the team. Perhaps second would make more sense.
