[Star Wars] When Obi Wan saw his master die, was it anger that drove him to defeat Darth Maul?
gpt
Obi-Wan's victory over Darth Maul was his true Jedi trial, and what made him ready to be a Knight. This is underdeveloped in the film, but Obi-Wan's arc is learning to step out of Qui-Gon's shadow and become a Jedi in his own right. This is established in their first conversation, when Qui-Gon says that Obi will take the Trial when returning to Coruscant. 

His reliance on Qui-Gon was Obi-Wan's greatest weakness, but his ability to come to terms with his Master's death and, at the last second, let go of his anger is what drove him to victory. This of course sets up Obi-Wan's downfall as well - he never truly feels like Anakin's Master, or that he can ultimately control him.
