Twin Suns Kenobi and Maul: Still 8s, or now 7s?

Discuss your expectations.

I heard there was a quote for Obi-Wan declining but I'm not sure if I've seen it. Anybody got the quote?

If Witwer's commentary is reliable, then Maul's grown stronger, and Vader is obviously looking to be an 8 in canon, so Maul being able to stand up to him likely makes him an 8 as well.

That said, Ben may not necessarily rival Maul in this fight, though I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to.

In the Star Wars comics, Kenobi remarks how he has to catch up on his bladework after getting destroyed by a black Wookiee on Tatooine, IIRC. I don't think he used a lightsaber since his fight with Anakin, in fact.

Ah. I remember him struggling with Wookiees but I didn't remember some of the dialogue. If so, that's strong evidence for it. And therefore it's likely that Maul will hold the upper hand against Obi-Wan but lose for whatever reason (something to do with Ezra).

Despite what Witwer has said, I have not got the impression Maul's at the top of his game what-so-ever.

Probably cuz he's lost to padawans and hasn't shown anything that TCW Maul hasn't or is incapable of doing.

Maul's gone completely insane. He's become everything he wasn't in TPM.

I just can't see how Witwer regards this character the way he does.

They wont make Kenobi that bad. Both are older, and less powerful. They will be evenly matched, you watch and Ezra may be the shatterpoint. Yes, I said shatterpoint. Its back in canon. The only good thing from Empire's End

Yeah, this Maul is so far removed from TPM that it's not even funny. I can't even call it a caricature because they're basically making their own character using a known character model.

Obi-Wan ain't chopping Savage's arm off while fending off Maul anymore.

Maul's getting speedblitzed by fvcking Kanan.

Maul and kenobi should be more powerful. Kenobi may have degraded in saber ability though

I still can't see how Maul will lose to Old man Kenobi. Maul is still agile as hell, even if he's lost some of his old skill

I have a sinking feeling that they will make Maul job like an idiot and lose to Kenobi in their Rebels fight. In some dumb way.

Kanan Jarrus.

Kanan was a Knight though?

Matching someone who went toe to toe with prime Vader 1 v 1> getting outdueled by an inferior version of a dude who got wrecked by dooku(season 6)despite the aid of his apprentice.

And getting wrecked by an amped Jedi knight>getting wrecked by a weird looking dog
