There's every reason to find Ben wanting. He looks at least a decade older than his years, he moves slowly and calmly, as if he has not the slightest idea of the weight of the situation he's walked into, and of course he has no Force presence at all - just a silly old man pretending to be a Jedi.
He smiles politely, offers a nod of greeting to Nomar and the woman and then his eyes flicker elsewhere.
It's obvious, when you know what you're looking for. The Force flows through all things, but it doesn't flow through everything equally. Jedi can influence its flow but even that leaves its ripples. And like light passing through a ray shield, the Force bends as it passes through barriers.
He smiles briefly at the place where the Force bends, like light passing through a perfect crystal, and then turns his attention to Organa.
"Hello," he says calmly, "Ben Kenobi. I don't believe we've had the pleasure."
He stands to Ibani's right shoulder, his body positioned slightly at an angle so between them their angle of vision is wider than horizontal and so they both have room to move their arms. His lightsaber held in both hands at his centre, he finally ignites it, the last one in the docking bay to do so.
"Did I miss out on some seduction?" he asks Ibani in a stage whisper, knowing perfectly well that he'll have to answer for any flirtation later, but not caring in the moment.
