I never understood the fight between Kenobi and Vader. They fight and all of a sudden Kenobi decides to stop fighting. He doesn't even try to block Vaders attack he just stands there looking at Luke. IMO one of the worst fighting scenes ever.

This is overlooking the main objection to the fight, that Alec Guinness fights like an old woman. In fact, that is grossly insulting to old women, my granny could have kicked his jedi ass, and still have had time to make a really nice steak and kidney pie.

Incidentally, I think Gregoshi's right, Vader was guessing that Luke must have been trained by Obi Wan over a longer period than was actually the case, and didn't know about Yoda at that time.

Obi-Wan wanted to die so that Luke would go, otherwise Luke would run up and die as well and the rebellion is going to die because the Death Star wins and then the little kiddies cry, and no more sequel. Hence, Obi-Wan puts his life on the line.
