The Star Wars prequel trilogy built a strong case against the Jedi's capability to confront Sith lords head-on, the most profound through-line being isolation from their rival and inexperience.

This was why even an apprentice like Darth Maul could take on both Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan and even kill one of them.
