Who said Ezra is even on par with an Inquisitor? And Kanan superior? IIRC the only Inq Kanan beat on his own was the GI, and even that was clearly a peak performance.
We see Ezra pushing back the 7th Sister on Malachor so while he was tapping into his anger (although not really to an extreme extent) he has also improved massively towards season 3 as evident by official statements and FPJ's own admission (who even went as far to say that S3 Ezra would beat the 7th Sister). Regarding Kanan, he was holding his own against the GI in season 1 (finale) even though he had been tortured for a long duration of time and he only advanced from that point forward, in season 2 we see how he's at least fighting equally with the 5th Brother and 7th Sister while he's actually outdueling the 8th Brother in TotA.

Kanan is somewhat above your average Jedi Knight, and Ezra's comparable to him.Nothing special in the grand scheme of things. They are holistically meant to be the underdogs, not powerful, just kinda likeable and semi-capable.
I doubt that Maul would want a "likeable" or "semi-capable" character as his apprentice, especially since we know from Sam Witwer that Maul sees in Ezra the potential to become what he should have been (remember that this guy was apprenticed to the most powerful Sith ever and could supposedly carry on the RoT in canon).

So what you're saying is that Maul had the potential to be stronger than sidious (if trained correctly)
And Ezra the same?
Genuinely interested to know

I didn't know FPJ said that about S3 Ezra. But they really need another Inquisitor, or at least see some Serious sparring between Kanan and Ezra so we can gauge how good Ezra is now. Because so far he has no feats to put him on Inquisitor level.
Kanan only ever battled equally with one Inquisitor at a time. And I get he was tortured before he defeated GI, but that was still his best ever performance against him, and he used literally every tool at his disposal to fight him, including Ezra's gun built into his Saber. Which is what I think stopped GI Tk'ing him, like he always did previosuly.

No. Lucas has stated that Maul did not have the potential to surpass Sidious.
I’m also doubtful of Ezra having anywhere near that potential.

The thing is, Sam Witwer (Maul's voice actor) said that Maul was capable of continuing the Rule of Two should Palpatine die, now we also know that the latter saw himself as the ultimate cumulation of this rule. In the end I think that Maul's potential rivals Palpatine's to a certain degree but not really exceeds it, Ezra could perhaps have the same kind of potential but then again it isn't really black and white since we're relying on the words of a voice actor, merely an indication that Ezra's potential is pretty high.
