Why did Anakin lose to Obi?
In Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Anakin probably lost his duel to Obi-Wan on Mustafar because he wasn’t using a key part of his power. He lost because he was over confident and thought he could jump over Obi-wan without Obi-wan being able to reach him.

Dooku was such an experienced duelist that Kenobi never could do very well with him whatsoever. But besides that, Anakin could NEVER win against Obi Wan because Anakin was brash, impulsive, arrogant, while Obi Wan was patient, always on the defense.

Why are Skywalker and Kenobi the best of the Jedi?
