Maul (Rebels) vs. Darth Maul (SoD)

A new quote has surfaced regarding Maul and his power level as of Star Wars Rebels. We know of one quote that says Maul is "more powerful than ever" that comes from a SW.com article, but another quote claims Maul has gained new abilities throughout his life, which would obviously include his time in solitude up until Rebels.

The quote: "Darth Maul returned to the Star Wars universe in a big way this year. It seems like there’s just no calling it quits for the vengeful Sith Lord. Although he has grown older and gained new abilities throughout his life, Darth Maul still builds on the teachings he received from Darth Sidious. Now, he’s trying to pass them on to Ezra Bridger."

Seeing that that's now two SW.com articles claiming and / or implying an increase in power, what does this mean? Who would win in a battle to the death? Maul as of Rebels, or Darth Maul as of Son of Dathomir?

SoD stomps.

Rebels Maul based on the evidence in the OP.

Who even cares about evidence when you have that grorious opinion? Maul obviously has grown weaker because he didn't lolstomp Kanan and Ahsoka at the same time. It's the only thing that makes sense.

SoD in my personal opinion. It was always Maul's physique which gave him an edge. Now he's just a sith version of Ben Kenobi

Gained new abilities...yet didn't even show them in the final when they could have been useful..

Maybe grew more powerful in the force but not as physically strong/skilled as before

He's obviously still physically fit, though admittedly probably not to the same extent as before, but if he has indeed grown more powerful, it should easily make up the physical disparity and possibly even increase his physical capability via Force augmentation.

Aight, tacking on one W for Freshest today. 🙂

SoD Maul; it's hardly a stomp, though.

Why does he win?

Rebels Maul past his glory days, bruh. And seems to struggle more with suspending the Seventh Sister than Obi-Wan, so I'm going to have to question that force edge he supposedly has too, unfortunately.

Wouldn't you as well, if the empire you built was dismantled and everything you've achieved was destroyed and you were living as a hermit? His longing for his past power (likely in a different sense, i.e. political power, being a relevant galactic figure, and someone with potential) doesn't reflect a degradation in his current combative abilities. I also don't see how he was struggling at all against either, honestly (Kenobi was also concussed, if we're thinking of the same thing).

We are not.
