AotC Anakin > AotC Obi-Wan - Nick Gillard
"Of course, he's the chosen one," whispered Gillard. "The audience will want to see that manifest itself. There needs to be flashes of brilliance. He's more skilled than Obi-Wan. Anakin always attacks. He's better and he knows it, which means he's brash on occasion."
This might be obvious to some, but neat to get confirmation.
But the official website doesn't simply act as a chronicle of canon information; it serves many purposes, many of those purposes having nothing to do with canon facts whatsoever. This is just a behind the scenes article from a quick look at it, and Nick Gillard, being the stunt coordinator of the films, is not a canon authority.

Was it ever disputed that AOTC Anakin>AOTC Obi-Wan? What's even the case for Obi-Wan being superior?
-Kenobi vastly outperforming and being noted as superior to Anakin by Ventress in the tcw movie when Anakin was a knight
-Kenobi stalemating Anakin both telekinetically and via the blade 5 months before rots in obsession
-Kenobi beating an enraged season 4 anakin in h2h
-Kenobi stalemating a hindered knightfall anakin while himself partially hindered and then stalemating a partially hindered knightfall anakin when unhindered
If Anakin has surpassed Kenobi as a padawan, then given his vastly superior potential, none of the above makes much sense.
That being said iirc gillard said somewhere else that while kenobi had moved up one tier from aotc(menaing he was a 7 back then), anakin has moved up 4 tiers from aotc which would put aotc anakin as a 5, and aotc kenobi as a 7.

Kenobi is said to be more powerful by Ventress. Which this quote doesn't contradict.
Where?

TCW Movie? That was never mentioned.

Those things aren't canon either lol.
The levels are not necessarily canon, but they are the closest we get to Lucas's power ranking for the films.
Gillard didn't just make up the power levels himself lol
