This Kenobi downplaying shit needs to stop. He gave a far better fight against Vader than even Ahsoka did. At best Maul is on par with Ahsoka.Kenobi takes it in a good fight.

Ben hurries along one of the tunnels leading to the hangar
where the pirateship waits. Just before he reaches the hangar,
Darth Vader steps into view at the end of the tunnel, not
ten feet away. Vader lights his saber. Ben also ignites his
and steps slowly forward.VADER
I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan.
We meet again, at last. The circle
is now complete.Ben Kenobi moves with elegant ease into a classical offensive
position. The fearsome Dark Knight takes a defensive stance.VADER
When I left you, I was but the
learner; now I am the master.BEN
Only a master of evil, Darth.The two Galactic warriors stand perfectly still for a few
moments, sizing each other up and waiting for the right
moment. Ben seems to be under increasing pressure and strain,
as if an invisible weight were being placed upon him. He
shakes his head and, blinking, tries to clear his eyes.Ben makes a sudden lunge at the huge warrior but is checked
by a lightning movement of The Sith. A masterful slash stroke
by Vader is blocked by the old Jedi. Another of the Jedi's
blows is blocked, then countered. Ben moves around the Dark
Lord and starts backing into the massive starship hangar.
The two powerful warriors stand motionless for a few moments
with laser swords locked in mid-air, creating a low buzzing
sound.VADER
Your powers are weak, old man.BEN
You can't win, Darth. If you strike
me down, I shall become more powerful
than you can possibly imagine.Their lightsabers continue to meet in combat.
INT. DEATH STAR - MAIN FORWARD BAY
Han Solo and Chewbacca, their weapons in hand, lean back
against the wall surveying the forward bay, watching the
Imperial stormtroopers make their rounds of the hangar.HAN
Didn't we just leave this party?Chewbacca growls a reply, as Luke and the princess join them.
HAN
What kept you?LEIA
We ran into some old friends.LUKE
Is the ship all right?HAN
Seems okay, if we can get to it.
Just hope the old man got the tractor
beam out of commission.INT. DEATH STAR - HALLWAY
Vader and Ben Kenobi continue their powerful duel. As they
hit their lightsabers together, lightning flashes on impact.
Troopers look on in interest as the old Jedi and Dark Lord
of The Sith fight. Suddenly Luke spots the battle from his
group's vantage point.LUKE
Look!Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie look up and see Ben and Vader
emerging from the hallways on the far side of the docking
bay.INT. DEATH STAR - DOCKING BAY
Threepio and Artoo-Detoo are in the center of the Death Star's
Imperial docking bay.THREEPIO
Come on, Artoo, we're going!Threepio ducks out of sight as the seven stormtroopers who
were guarding the starship rush past them heading towards
Ben and The Sith Knight. He pulls on Artoo.INT. DEATH STAR - HALLWAY
Solo, Chewie, Luke, and Leia tensely watch the duel. The
troops rush toward the battling knights.HAN
Now's our chance! Go!They start for the Millennium Falcon. Ben sees the troops
charging toward him and realizes that he is trapped. Vader
takes advantage of Ben's momentary distraction and brings
his mighty lightsaber down on the old man. Ben manages to
deflect the blow and swiftly turns around.The old Jedi Knight looks over his shoulder at Luke, lifts
his sword from Vader's then watches his opponent with a serene
look on his face.Vader brings his sword down, cutting old Ben in half. Ben's
cloak falls to the floor in two parts, but Ben is not in it.
Vader is puzzled at Ben's disappearance and pokes at the
empty cloak. As the guards are distracted, the adventurers
and the robots reach the starship. Luke sees Ben cut in two
and starts for him. Aghast, he yells out.
At no point did Vader ever gain an advantage against Kenobi until Obi-Wan intentionally lets himself die.
