Maul with his first pair of legs would probably a even worse matchup for Tyranus indeed. Then again SOD Maul is more powerful then that incarnation and considering that the main difference between both combatant lies in the Force could mean he's better equipped.

Because in this case FPJ's opinion fits in and explains everything while your interpretation of Filoni's opinion is contradicted by feats & accolades.

Disagree.
Maul was at his "physical" peak in those legs. And physical beasts is something Dooku has been known to struggle against. Plus "Revival" Maul clearly packed a punch with TK as well.
But Given no version of Maul will beat Dooku in the Force, I think his best bet is overpowering Dooku in martial prowess, which I believe Chicken leg Maul has the best shot at achieving.

Perhaps because all opinions are prone to bias. But Filoni has shown (and outright admitted) a lot more bias towards Ahsoka than FPJ has against Kanan or towards Maul.
Originally posted by BeniboyblingThey don't; but I would argue that the abilities of Force users aren't static. Look at Obi-Wan. Look at Savage. Look at Rey. Look at Kanan versus both the Inquisitor and Maul. All of them have been in situations where they should have been the inferior party but, pause a second - the Force! - and then they are on top.

In other words, the Force is a plot device which tends to make up it's own rules. In other words, sometimes Star Wars writers aren't great at their job. In universe, FPJ's interpretation of it being a moment of oneness/giving oneself over to the Force entirely makes perfect sense, and even without being able to put a label on what happened, does appear to be one of these "in the zone" moments.
But we all knew that.
