There is nothing out of character here.
This tortured logic made my head hurt, and not in a good way.

When does one's head hurt in a good way?

I have discussed this with Ady, this is indeed his justification in the change of order. I don't agree and feel that Obi-wan actually failed at his own teaching by using the Force for attack during Episode III, and that I feel he would have learned from his earlier mistake against his old apprentice.

I understand.

However, there are all kinds of ways to look at it.

He may have ignited first simply beacuse he sensed that Anakin was about to pounce on him in the blink of an eye... which he did.
