Old Master Maul vs. Baylan Skoll

No TCW or pre-Rebels feats for Maul

Force sabers all out

I think Baylan could handle a few Inquisitors and not get beaten by a freshly blinded Kanan. So Baylan.

Maul, mid-difficulty.

Maul . Baylan doesn’t have enough feats yet I guess … he seems pretty average to me at the moment

Maul, better force feats + this Mayl still stomped an inquisitor

I'll give you that Rebels Maul does have better force feats, because Baylan really doesn't have any.

But based on Baylan's fights with Ahsoka, do you really think he'd be unable to clown an Inquisitor as well? C'mon. srsly

Well Ahsoka was unable to clown that Marrok guy, and Baylan is weaker than her… so no

I still don't know what you guys aren't getting? All of Ahsoka's showings from TCW and Rebels still count towards her live action appearances, and nothing released so far has implied that she has gotten weaker or less skilled over the years. Maybe you're letting the show's shit choreography cloud your judgement? If so keep in mind that Luke's choreography was also shit when he fought Vader in ROTJ, but based on all the canon material at hand, we know that Luke was in actuality a top tier duelist who was legit on par with Vader at the time. So yeah.

And based on what is Baylan weaker than Ahsoka? Because I got the exact opposite impression based on their fights. srsly

Theres literallly no excuse for shit choreography in todays day and age. Remember Maul vs Ahsoka from TCW Finale was done via motion capture.

This is Ahsoka from a different era so no she doesnt automatically get feats from different eras. Just like Rebels Maul is not automatically assumed to be =/> than his previous incarnations.

All that said Maul vs Baylan would likely be a good fight.

Edit - also didnt sw.com confirm Rebels Maul was stronger than Ahsoka ?

There is no excuse for shit CGI inferior to 2001 or 1999 movies (especially with a good budget) and yet... and yet... it keeps happening 😂

Honestly, there is a very good, simple excuse. Good CGI requires time invested in it, regardless of current technology. Studios these days are all about the crunch, pumping out new content as fast as they can. They're not giving projects the time they need to actually do any sort of polish, ergo the CGI doesn't look as good as it did when Lucas was making a passion project and being a complete perfectionist when it came to the CGI of the Prequels.

Until we get a legitimate reason to believe that Ahsoka somehow lost power and skill between Rebels and her live action series, then she DOES get all of her previous feats.

^ Yeah plus how long was she stranded? Could very well be a case like Rebels Maul. Don't think anyone would argue that was Maul at his peak.

she went from holding her own against Vader to struggling against Baylan Skoll, I’d say that’s a legitimate reason
