Filoni's said Kenobi three-shotting Maul was because he thought every time Maul matched Kenobi's blade it suggests parity, but he didn't think there was any.
Rebels Kenobi is genuinely far beyond Maul (or Ahsoka).

And it's funny how you're only willing to take this authorial intent into consideration, not what Gilroy said, not what Beck said, and not what Feloni has also said.
Both an in universe and out of universe alternative to your claim that Ben Kenobi>>>>>>Rebels Maul.
Aside from your claim being unsupported, it's pretty illogical given that Rebels Vader isn't>>>Ahsoka who isn't>>>>Rebels Maul.
What Ant says:
What the quote says:
Which doesn't remotely invalidate my argument bro. Though I'd argue for Maul having grown even if Ahsoka didn't scale above him. Not because I especially like Maul, though he's one of my favorite villians, but because that's what the only evidence on the matter suggests.
I'm sure though you're being objective here, hence why you're making up sh!t that the evidence you're trying to use doesn't actually say.
A fairly accurate portrayal of how your posts right now.
For the record though, Ahsoka doesn't need Rebels Maul tp be>SOD because she has closeness with Vader, a force user who's LOTS incarnation has done a better version of SOD Maul's best feats.
No, it pretty clearly states that. Filoni ended the fight quickly because he didn't think Maul was capable enough of contending with Obi-Wan.
In regards to the Filoni quote, frankly? I think he misspoke - he meant to say "character," not "characters," since we have him on-interview directly stating "Maul has not grown since TPM."
And in regards to your "combat not emotional growth BS," they're the same thing. They're both coordinated. You don't decline in one and not the other.
Filoni's alleged statement that Maul has grown as a swordsman is not reflected in the actual episode, hence the entire community's reaction to your retardation. We don't see Darth Maul apply a new maneuver vs Obi-Wan, which would be an indication of growth - he uses the same ****ing technique he used versus Qui-Gon, which Filoni has said hearkens back to the fact Maul has no grown.
And then we have Witwer stating multiple times that Maul has indeed declined, which makes perfect sense. Witwer's statements are legitimate because we know that Witwer and Filoni talked extensively about the behind-the-scenes of Maul's character going into this fight.

FWI, I don't plan to respond to whatever post you create - I'm going to bed.
You've debated this endlessly with Darth Thor, I don't think anyone will ever change your opinion on it, mostly because if you did change your opinion then you'd have to realize how retarded you've been for the past year of your existence.

But I'll pose this question, which I don't think DT has:
Do you actually believe that if you would go up to Filoni and ask him which incarnation of Darth Maul is the most skilled with a blade that he would answer with Rebels Maul? That he would pick an incarnation of Maul deliberately designed to be an older, deranged, out of prime version of Maul rather than the Maul in his twenties taking on two Jedi with Duel of the Fates in the background or the one ruling a planet of Boba Fetts and duking it out versus Sidious himself?
Don't answer, since obviously you'd say yes in public, but really consider the narrative Filoni is trying to present and answer to yourself if you believe you're being true to that vision.

Do I actually have to explain to you the difference between contention and equality?
I'm aware you're a smart person, so I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you're lying. :up
That backtrack tho.
I wonder why you haven't posted more than 6 words from the quote...
Is it because what comes before and directly after makes clear that's referring to emotional growth?
Again, Feloni says Maul hasn't grown emotionally. The contradiction you're looking for remains non-existent.
You really don't like context, do you Ant:
As I stated earlier in this thread, I don't have any interest in re-explaining why your reorientation of quotes to say what you want them to say doesn't work over and over again.
