And the fact, that those two were Kenobi's superiors, doesn't mean that they were Anakin's superiors as well.
True there were circumstances to Anakin’s lost to Obi wan. However that doesn’t change the fact that the movie depicted them as equals all around in skill and force.
I.e.
• Dooku vs Yoda -It was clear that Dooku was Yoda’s inferior force wise and in saber combat.
• Dooku vs Obi wan – It is clear that on both occasions Dooku was the superior is all aspects.
• Anakin vs Dooku in ROTS – It is clear that Anakin had surpass Dooku in force power and was able to use it to overpower Dooku.
Here is where we come to Anakin vs Obi wan. Anakin is shown as the aggressor but not the more skilled in saber combat. They go head to head in a force battle and neither get the best of each other. This is an Anakin who has gone to the darkside.
Contradictory as it may be, Anakin and Obi wan are displayed as equals in ROTS in all aspects. So I have no reason to view Anakin on the same level as Mace. He falls below Mace and Yoda somewhere by Dooku’s level or just below.
