Maul thought he was facing an old, crippled hermit and nothing more, so I don't think he really expected anything impressive skill-wise from Kenobi.

The fight is more symbolic of Maul's stagnation and how he clings to the past, while Kenobi has moved on, both mentally and in a dueling-sense. Ben and Maul's face-off is more exclusive to them and their past and growth (or lack thereof) as characters. Using it to start saying "ya lol maul is fodder even ___ can beat him" or "ben can stomp malgus now" is really just ridiculous.

Sorry, but you're wrong.

Rebels is his prime; Kenobi, Dooku, and Vader are Maul blitzers now.

Pretty sure there's a quote saying blogs are bullshit. Either way, what you brought forth doesn't rebut my point at all. Kenobi knew what was coming to him and capitalized.

They confirmed the blogs aren't Canon, btw.

Gained New Abilities =/= prime

I mean it's clear he has a wider variety of force abilities, such as his knowledge of nightsister magic and the temple at malachor, and more specifically his telepathic prowess seems to have greatly expanded, but that doesn't preclude his overall physical and combative prowess declining.

Yeah, one of the most skilled fighters in history, a level 8 which is a "cheat" level, far beyond normal duelists, and then became an even better duelist after his hermitage. Somehow I'm just not convinced he'd **** up that bad.

Also, I think it's just said the story group doesn't review the content of the blogs, not that they're outright non-canon.

Apparently you missed the portion where it said he still builds on his Master's teachings after all these years, meaning he's improved his dueling.

Vitiate has demonstrated a wider variety and more poweful uses of Force powers, but Kenobi would probably cream him in a combat scenario with his vastly superior skill, tactics and speed. smile

In the old days I was always concerned ppl would believe what he says, but at this point I don't have to worry about that.
