Thanaton doesn't have the power to dominate Kenobi since he hasn't demonstrated abilities on par with Dooku and while his parity with Maul is more up for debate it's irrelevant to Thanaton's ability to dominate RotS Kenobi since Kenobi grew in power in the timespan between TCW and RotS. That's as simple as I can make it so if you still don't understand then you're out of luck.

Where did anyone say that Thanaton's dominating Kenobi?

Nfactor indicated that Thanaton could "stop" Kenobi via Force power.

Stops at 3.

Obi-Wan Kenobi isn't equipped to handle a threat like Darth Thanaton.

Darth Thanaton is one of the greatest Sith Lords to have existed, like ever - more powerful and dangerous then you give him credit for. He is a specialist in Sith Sorcery (a master of many esoteric techniques) and he literally [one-shotted] Darth Nox in an earlier fight when the latter was not equipped to handle his Sith Sorcery. Darth Nox had to go to extremes in the realm of Sith Sorcery (himself) to take out Darth Thanaton which is very telling. I have not seen an equivalent example of one Sith putting so much effort in beating another.

I see Darth Nox at the end of his story arc as an outlier in terms of strength and capabilities - drawing power from several Force ghosts bind to him to do his bidding. No Sith has pulled it off on long-term basis or without succumbing to pressures. Officially, Darth Nox released the Force ghosts or his fights would have been extremely one-sided.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is equipped for conventional fights, not Sith Sorcery. This is a fight which Obi-Wan will loose and very badly.

Obi-wan clears.

Wait... what?

He's not defeating Nox or Jadus.

And? That accolades is shared amongst a myriad of individuals most of which could not defeat RotS Obi Wan on the basis of their power alone. It's meaningless to me.

Well, that's what we're here to discuss, isn't it?

I'm aware of this. It's a very impressive feat and one of the reasons I hold Thanaton ( and Nox ) as high as I do. What you have to prove however is that Darth Nox was more powerful then RotS Kenobi as all Force abilities can be resisted via a mix of willpower and strength in the Force.

Quote for Nox releasing their ghosts?

I disagree. Given all Force powers can be defended against via power and will, both of which Obi Wan has in abundance, and you've yet to show me why Nox at the time she was dominated by Thanaton was more powerful then RotS Obi Wan, I'm inclined to retain my stance regarding this fight.

RotS stops pretty hard at 3 with rest, 2 without. ANH stops at 3 without rest, and 4 with it.

Though Thanaton can probably oneshot with Sorcery so ¯\_(&#12484😉_/¯
