I see Filoni strikes again.
FYI Quanchi has always clung to author statements. Every Mace vs anyone threads he continuously brought up Lucas's line of how the scene began with Mace overpowering Sidious.
He's only recently rejected author statements after pretty much everyone working on Rebels have confirmed Vader > Maul LOL

I agree with this. The authors/creators describing a particular scene/fight is of more relevance then when they're just randomly spewing stuff out, and the exact context isn't completely clear. For example, Filoni said once "no one can compete with this guy" (referring to Sidious). But I doubt anyone actually believes he truly meant NO ONE can compete with him including Yoda and Mace.
But I also think something they've drilled into our heads again and again, through character statements and creator statements i.e. Vader > Maul is pretty damn reliable as evidence.
Now if Filoni keeps repeating that No One can fight Ahsoka except Vader/Sidious, or if he just outright states Ahsoka > Maul, then that will be different. As of now though, I'd just ignore it until more statements or some actual evidence presents itself to support that idea.

^ In fact looking at the quote again, he was talking about why Ahsoka couldn't be used much when she first appeared on the show. Maul wasn't even a factor until the season finale.
So calm down people, this isn't concrete confirmation by Filoni that Ahsoka > Maul. (Well not yet, but I wouldn't put it past him).
Heck even the biggest Ahsoka fanboy FPJ, who rates Ahsoka as the 3rd of 4th most powerful Jedi ever, stated Ahsoka would beat Maul in His Opinion (said the same about Kenobi). So even he never made it a clear fact. Whilst with Vader being > Maul he stated that like it's an outright fact on multiple occasions.

Accept Ahsoka into your heart, and only then will you finally know happiness. 🙂

On DragonCon one of the showmakers of Rebels confirmed that Malachor is a Dark Side hotspot which is the reason that the Inquisitors could fly with their lightsabers.

So here is the quote, from Henry Gilroy, in response to how Inquisitors can fly with their spinning sabers:"There's an A answer and there's a B answer. The A answer is usually my go to easiest answer which is that you have to ask Dave Filoni. The B answer I would say is a longer mythological discussion and it relates specifically to Malachor, and how it is the home of this Sith Temple."

Keep up Thor, Ahsoka stalemated Maul on a nexus, her superiority is clear. 🙂
Oh that's confirmed? Wow. Then we don't even know if Vader > Ahsoka Lol
Maybe Maul will grow more powerful though. He seemed to just be getting back on his feet in Rebels after discovering Ezra as a potential new apprentice.
Edit: Wait... That would make Blind Kanan beating Maul even more stupid!

A dispicable sacrifice.

The helicopters are stupid tbh, but the reasoning that with a nexus they could perform helicopter assisted Force flight actually makes sense.EDIT: Assuming of course that's what Gilroy was implying.
That's the strangest confirmation of dark side nexus I ever heard of.
Filoni tends to ignore Dark Side nexus's when it comes to combat anyway.
