Dave Filoni on Ahsoka Tano vs Darth Vader / The Emperor

Tbh, TCW Maul wasn't more skilled than in TPM. He just got angrier and was pretty shit until he got the darksaber :/

He did literally nothing in between TPM and TCW, yet when he got back into action, his skill started coming back to him pretty quickly (showing how ingrained his training was in him). Then his enhanced Rage and new sense of Focus made him more powerful than he was in TPM.

So you see, there's literally no logical reason for Rebels Maul to be weaker than he was before. At least this time, he's not been just sitting around on 8 legs eating garbage for the last 15 years. He's even built himself a Saber Staff again, suggesting he's been keeping up with his Saber skills.

And his rage against the Sith seems greater than ever, and now with Ezra he has a new sense of purpose again.

And age shouldn't be a major factor either given he's about ROTS Windu's age. And still no where near as old as Dooku or Palpatine Lol.

^ Maybe that's because Palptine and Dooku are force Titans. Maul isn't.

He didn't build shit. I assume he just raped an inquisitor and stole his/her Saber.

Lmao.

Don't think Maul was that much behind Dooku in the Force. In fact he should have reached his level by Rebels.

And let's not forget, he's still decades younger than Dooku was anyway.

Joking aside though, his Saber staff is an indication of him keeping his Saber abilities up.

Better than he would have sitting around eating junk on Lotho Minor with spider-legs.

Why not? He's more powerful than ever.

Vader's simply better and more powerful than Maul ever was, or ever could be. That's why he needs Ezra.

Hard to tell. As of TCW he was still clearly behind Dooku. Along with Savage, they were unable to beat Kenobi. Maul choked him, and then Force pushed him, while being backed by Savage. Dooku did that on his own, while Kenobi was backed up by Skywalker.

As of SoD, he gave Talzin some of his strenght, but it was far inferior's kind of help, compering to that one that Sidious received from Dooku.

And as of Rebels? He has shown nothing yet. His Knowledge could be superior, but he demonstrated nothing, that would prove that he's overall stronger in the Force as a fighter.

I can't make you comprehend, so I cannot even reply to your post on the last page.

Anyway, Maul admits he can't take on Vader. 🙂

Mauls said it In-Universe and his own voice actor has said it out of universe.

But Denial is a wonderful weapon for Trolls 😂

Oh he was definitely Dooku's inferior. I just think he had enough mean Force feats to show he wasn't behind by miles. And that he should have had time to catch up now.

Yes Rebels Maul needs more feats. But stalemating Filoni's love Ahsoka in Filoni's show suggests he's at least at the same level he was previously.

Not if Malachor legitimately counted as a DS nexus.

Doesn't matter how much you twist it or bend it, Maul's still Ahsoka's superior as per the episode guide.

Except the episode guide states no such thing...

LOL When did I say otherwise?

Depends on the extent of the amp. Could be negligible. No point speculating until you have some solid proof.

Fair enough. Maul still wouldn't be on Dooku's level though.

Didn't mean you said, just a general statement or however you say it

Actors opinion aren't canon, troll.

I guess Maul's estimate of his own powers in regards to Vader's doesn't count for shit, either?
