Assaulting a fellow Jedi =/= not combat ready
Yep. The text explicitly noted how Corran TK is completely a non-factor, so why would Kyp be prepared/weary for retaliation? Use your brain Zoltan; You're pretty funny most of the time, so I'm sure you have one. 👆
Running toward your opponent, lightsaber to your side in a not combat stance, monologuing about how you'd trade yourself for a hostage = combat ready.
Yep. He was completely defenseless. Because you know, not having your guard up against a homicidal Sith Lord is the smartest thing to do -- running towards him with a lightsaber is also some good freaking assurance that you're fulling willing to concede yourself over too.
So either: Kenobi is Maul's ***** in the Force, or he is clinically retarded; you pick. 😂

Never said he wasn't enraged at all, I said he wasn't at his utmost capacity. Which you just presume, 'cause reasons.

At which point he got in close-quarters, preventing Maul from ragdolling if he was even so inclined.
Kenobi was in CQ too on Florrum.

Because there were other jedi there? Jedi who can and would retaliate?

Except he wasn't in combat yet. That's why he was still talking, which he would not if he'd expected to get choked straight away. And just maybe he'd be in a Soresu stance and not leaving himself completely exposed if he expected an imminent attack.
Also: Maul amped, Kenobi pre-prime 🙂

Right...Face =/= take hostage it means fight lol, that's why he had his lightsaber on. He wanted Maul to fight him.Let her go and face me. I'm the one you--

Hardly. Being able to call on his rage doesn't mean he isn't angrier when he actually fights the guy himself who bisected him.

So? Somehow being in his face stops Maul from ragdolling? Besides that's just further shows how much weaker Maul is when not facing Kenobi.

And in the mean time Maul releases the hostage, hence a trade. Didn't mean he's just gona deliver himself to Maul 😬
Really, why does that one Force Choke where Kenobi's guard clearly wasn't up even matter? Under similar circumstances Vader choked Galen, Mara and Jacen literally Force Crushed each other, Savage has choked Dooku and Asajj collectively...
The fact that Maul couldn't perform the same thing on Obi-Wan via TK clearly shows he cannot dominate him. Even one of his rage-induced Force Waves only floors Obi, and doesn't damage him in any significant way, as oppose to someone like Tyranus who's casual Force Push knocks Kenobi out for a few seconds.
Comparing the two instances is enough to infer that Maul cannot dominate Obi-Wan in the Force, which makes sense when the latter is deflecting Force Pushes from a holistically more powerful foe.

Sure, facing off against Kenobi would logically elevate Maul to peak performance. But the point is he shouldn't be unable to reach that level of performance elsewhere.
So? Somehow being in his face stops Maul from ragdolling? Besides that's just further shows how much weaker Maul is when not facing Kenobi.Because he wouldn't be given any openings?
And Kenobi isn't an expert in close quarters combat, so naw.
And in the mean time Maul releases the hostage, hence a trade. Didn't mean he's just gona deliver himself to Maul 😬So what he just thought Maul would release the hostage, wait for her to get clear, then define the rules of the engagement in a gentlemanly manner? So Kenobi is a retard as well now?
