At the same time however, ahsoka being able to compete on maul's level indicates its more of a >/= thing than a >> thing.
, Eh, Ahsoka's body was contorted 180 degrees when he pushed her. I don't think her defenses were up. That being said, yeah, Maul's probably a little more powerful as of ROS.
She is going to be in mandalorian 2. I really hope she doesn't get trained by kenobi since that would break the story, but who knows. Disney doesn't seem to care for the past.

My opinion: Maul had the [marginally] greater skill, but Ahsoka was still skilled enough to rival him. Ahsoka ultimately gained the advantage because Maul is an overconfident dipshit when he fights, which is fully in character for him.
That being said, I definitely think Maul was superior in the Force(his feats in the last few eps seemed indicative of such, imo), but that superiority was effectively negated in an actual battle for the aforementioned reasons. His ego almost always gets in the way.
I just hope Gideon /w/ Darksaber doesn't manage to give her any sort of fight at all...
Eh, I think Ahsoka pulling a freighter back is comparably impressive to maul's hyperdrive showing. Maybe maul handled more mass, but Ahsoka didn't have the luxury of gathering her energy and was actively contesting the ship engine. I also think Maul not being able to break out of her grip indicates some degree of parity. I don't think Maul's power edge is necessarily more significant than his sabers one.
I'm curious how they plan to use Ahsoka. Maybe there's a secret sith that awaits?

I mentioned this in another thread, but historically speaking, Maul's overconfidence has almost always been his undoing in canon:
-Could have killed Kenobi in TPM, but didn't because he went full-tard.
-Could have killed Kenobi again in TCW(after Satine's death), but didn't because he went full-tard.
-May have been able to kill Ahsoka in TCW if he had struck immediately after disarming her, but didn't because he went full-tard.
-Could have killed Kanan in Rebels with a simple Force push, but didn't because he went full-tard.
etc.
But if he states that Filoni said that then he has to be right as his site is quite legit..
But yeah i reckon it will be good to see what Filoni said about the whole thing in his own words..
