That might be deliberate, as Star Wars creator George Lucas originally intended for the Force to be a spiritual phenomenon, to be simply mystical or magical. Obi-Wan's vagueness leaves his words open to interpretation by us, the audience. (Think of it this way: an expert at wielding a power doesn't necessarily understand what it is - a physicist knows how electrons work, but if you want to install wiring in a house, you should probably call an electrician.) After all, the Jedi is a religious order, not a scientific organization. This shouldn't be a surprise because, despite having existed for over a thousand generations, the Jedi don't study every aspect of the Force. The physical world has various energies and fields (such as an electromagnetic field), so "an energy field" is effectively meaningless, science-fiction technobabble. It surrounds us and penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together. It's an energy field created by all living things. The Force is what gives a Jedi his power.
