In rebels when ahsoka, maul, kanan and ezra are climbing the sith temple, they have to pair off
They say the most logical course of action is to put maul with ezra
Ezra is the weakest one there, wouldn't it make sense to put the strongest one with him - ie Maul?
Does this show it was intended to be Maul>Ahsoka>Kanan>Ezra in Rebels?
Filoni retconned that either because he has developed a fetish for humiliating Maul or because Disney is now in the WAHMEN era and someone with a uterus simply couldn't be shown running away (even for tactical reasons); she had to come out on top and then some.
This should put to rest any notion of "parity" between them. Maul lost in episode 10 due to plot induced stupidity, like he always does. He could have pushed her to her death with a flick of his wrist.
He could have pushed her to death because they happened to be fighting on a construnction beam. In a normal battleground ahsoka would jump backj, retrieve her lightsabers and keep fighting.
I realize that ahsoka being close to maul as of rots basically destroys any sort of argument maul has for...well anything at this point, but there's nothing to really dispute that being the case.
Ahsoka wins because... she already did, not even in her prime. Even if Maul is better he consistently loses to weaker opponents due to his arrogance/stupidity
Ahsoka's freighter pulling rivals literally any of maul's feats. And this is ROS. Then she proceeds to contend with a force user whose feats and sclaing blow cw Maul out of the water.
At some point you need to accept the obvious.

True that but his force push also seemed quite powerful against her she couldn’t even stop her self even when she used the light saber digging it into the ground to stop etc ..
But yeah I can imagine rebels Ahsoka being quite powerful. Reckon she ever crossed paths with Obi to get some training etc ?
I heard she’s going to be in mandalorian s2 ? Also She will be in the new obi wan series as well as Maul ?
The Force Push is a very dubious argument. Ahsoka was forced to rush in headlong at Maul in an attempt to prevent him from taking the shuttle leaving herself relatively defenseless. Could Maul preform something similar against Ahsoka in a normal duel? I'm not at all inclined to think so.
Wrong. He says he is the better sword fighter not that he is the better fighter. There is quite a bit more that goes into these duels beyond mere sword work including such things as personality flaws.
Filoni also mentions that Ahsoka "compete(s) at his (Maul's) level" so any notion of a significant disparity between the two should be thrown out the window.
Yeah, if his character flaws were a one-time thing that happened against Ahsoka exclusively, then I would just write it off as PIS or w/e... But it's definitely not a one-off.
Maul's ego/overconfidence has played a factor in almost every noteworthy battle he's had in canon(even as far back as TPM.) It's just how he fights, and why he typically loses.
Ok cool cool ... Not only did he say that maul was the better sword fighter , at 3:16 in the video he states that Filoni says Darth maul is a more powerful combatant and light saber duelist.
Also mentions beforehand that when she flipped maul out the window she thinks or pauses for a bit as it took its toll on her mentally as she never fought a person at his level and needed to elevate herself ..
But obviously maul always loses due to his overconfidence..
