As much as I don't like Ventress as a character; her personality, voice, design aesthetic (my mom went through chemotherapy when I was like 8, so since then the sight of a bald pale woman disturbs me on a subconscious level), the irritance of Ventress wank, the unearned forced sympathy for her character, Dark Disciple as a whole, etc. and as much of a badass I think Maul is, this largely featless pre-prime Maul is simply beneath Season 1 Ventress, so I'd have to say Luminara's fight with Ventress is significantly more impressive.

Same here tbh. In Legends it was shitty too, an acolyte from nowhere that became top 8 of the golden era of the Jedi all of a sudden just because... dunno. She really made the timeline seem fugged up with every darksider possible being above every Jedi possible sans 5-10 of them lol.

Don't see why Ahsoka doesn't take this too. I mean Eldra is getting really pushed here when she only had one appearance. It seems kinda pointless really.
Look at it like this. Eldra gave a good fight to a Maul a few years prior to TPM while Ahsoka around a year after TCW gives a good fight to Maul in his prime. I guess it could be argued for Eldra but I'd give it to Ahsoka more often then not.

I'd say she's around Dark Barriss's level in all honesty.
Fair enough. Assuming this was basically TPM Maul then I'd put her a bit higher then Dark Barriss but still below Ahsoka.
Ahsoka still was able to contend with Maul in the novel and was falling back to lure him into the trap IIRC. Regardless, her ability to last against Grievous is more then enough for me to place her above Eldra.
