The three-shotting has already been explained by multiple separate reasons.
It should be obvious Kenobi isn't actually capable of three-shotting Maul in a typical sw duel.
To address the last minute edit...
What the quote says
What Ant says:
"Every time Maul would block or parry Obi-Wan Kenobi would mean that he is his equal, and I just don’t think he is."
Rebels Kenobi is genuinely far beyond Maul
I don't even know what the two have said
Andi Gutierrez: "The actual duel between the two Masters is very short, like a samurai film. How did you come to the conclusion that it had to be done this way?"
Carrie Beck: "We never entered into this story trying to think about how satisfying that battle should be, it really became about what was the genuine intention of this moment and knowing where these two men are at this point in their lives. I think it's important for us, even though on the timeline we aren't to A New Hope yet, to think about what we know of Obi-Wan in that movie and work backwards in some way, to make sure that the character's progression charts appropriately."
Henry Gilroy: "When you fight someone many times, and have faced off, you kinda know each other's moves, so if you think about it, the biuldup to this confrontation and the actual lightsabers hitting each other is actually longer cause they're basically playing it out in their heads, and the amazing thing is the move that Maul tries after the initial exchange, he actually attempts the move that killed Qui-Gon Jinn. He tries to basically bash him with thehilt."
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:
but Filoni has never said Maul has grown.
The actual duel is very short, how did you come to the conclusion it had to come this way?...(feloni) If you talk to a lot of people who sword fight, they'll tell you people who are very good don't have long fights. So that scene, its a homage to the 7th samurai. I think on one level people would be excited to see [/I]another prolonged lightsaber fight. But I just never really saw the confrontation that way because to do that is to say the characters don't have [I]growth "
You have admitted that you just want Maul to have grown to wank Ahsoka.
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.

Now are you going to address how the quote which says Kenobi is beyond Maul doesn't say Kenobi is "far beyond Maul"?
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 seriously have to do this with you again?
What you say:

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

Is it because what comes before and directly after makes clear that's referring to emotional growth? 😬

Witwer: He has this ambition that still exists inside him and that ambition is eating him up –especially now that he’s past his prime and his glory years. Yeah, he’s a sadder character than we perhaps remember in Clone Wars.
If you want to keep discussing this, then bump this:

Otherwise, let's stop deflecting away from how you're blatantly making sh!t up regarding what Feloni has said.
