But though they had similar temperaments, Qui-Gon Jinn had been nothing like Anakin. No one in the universe was like Anakin.
Wonderful observation here, one that rings so bloody true.
Just for a taste of exhilaration, to try and feel what Anakin felt, every single day of his life? Maybe it would be easier in the long run not to say anything.
Obi-Wan's innate dignity in spite of his desire to try and approximate Anakin's experience is beautifully in-character. The fact that he handily trounces his opponent here, without use of his Force abilities, just goes to show that he's more 'naturally' formidable than some might give him credit for. Nice touch with him graciously offering to buy the man a drink after all is said and done. :)
