Dave Filoni on Ahsoka Tano vs Darth Vader / The Emperor
For my Joker:
We used to have this problem in Clone Wars when we would try to put Yoda in a story and it would be like, “Yeah, if Yoda’s there, this isn’t really a problem is it?” That’s because Yoda’s going to go in there and kick everyone’s butt. We all felt that Ahsoka, the only person that could really match her in this time period, blow for blow, would be Vader or the Emperor.
Well no ***, who else is there other than Maul during the time period that could actually fight them? Who? Kanan and Ezra? Tch, fat chance. Though I like how Dave once again contradicts himself.

Perhaps I’m talking him too literally but “could really match her in this time period, blow for blow” implies some level of parity. I certainly wouldn’t say Yoda would match Grievous for example.
Tbh as I see it, all it means out of all the Force Users...which are who now? An old Maul, a fresh Jedi Knight(Kanan) and Padawan(Ezra). Is that Ahsoka has the much better chance compared to the others.
That's not really anything big, seeing as the competition isn't there to begin with.

If you mean my ultimate goal of elevating Ahsoka, the cancer of her naysayers makes for a pretty painful read, yeah.

@Ares, his wording implies parity, but that's obviously not the case seeing as Vader lost to Ahsoka, and Filoni has stated (the obvious) that she would lose a confrontation with Sidious.
What's he's trying to say is that they had to hold back from using her too much, because against anyone bar Vader and the Emperor she would kick butt or otherwise defeat. Whether he intended to include Maul in that statement is the real question here.
