And that, Vader thinks, is Kenobi's weakness. He knows his old Master's style too well, and his priorities. To bother to care who might be collateral damage instead of focusing on his target. Weak.
Of course he would never be an adequate teacher for Anakin Skywalker--much less Vader's son, if that had been his plan. It's what Vader would do--and probably Palpatine, too: shape the son into a weapon to kill the father. He doesn't imagine for a second Kenobi would intend anything different.
It is truly and deeply irritating to find he does not have an edge of speed against the old man. On the other hand, if it takes longer to kill him... there's a satisfaction in that too.
"Did you really think," Vader hisses at him, "that you could keep him from me?"
He feints overhand before snapping back down for a low slash, and his free hand shoots out to the side. He's not thinking clearly enough to realize yanking a table in their direction is... well, maybe not more obvious than flashing lightsabers. But more environmental damage is at least very loud.
