I'll need out for a moment, too. In the novelization of Revenge of the Sith - written by the excellent Matthew Stover - Dooku's internal monologue during the duel with Skywalker and Kenobi reveals he is impressed with Kenobi's mastery for Form III - IIRC, he muses Kenobi is the best Form III practitioner he has seen.
Now, Dooku is a sword master/duelist. Renowned for it. So that's no small statement.
Form III is a defense and counter form. It's all about making as little movement as necessary/possible, and countering swiftly and decisively when given the opportunity.
What better to show Kenobi's growth as a duelist AND practitioner of Form III than to have him rematch with Maul, 20 years past his physical peak, and handle everything in one pass?
