Andi Gutierrez: "The actual duel between the two Masters is very short, like a samurai film. How did you come to the conclusion that it had to be done this way?"
Carrie Beck: "We never entered into this story trying to think about how satisfying that battle should be, it really became about what was the genuine intention of this moment and knowing where these two men are at this point in their lives. I think it's important for us, even though on the timeline we aren't to A New Hope yet, to think about what we know of Obi-Wan in that movie and work backwards in some way, to make sure that the character's progression charts appropriately."
Henry Gilroy: "When you fight someone many times, and have faced off, you kinda know each other's moves, so if you think about it, the buildup to this confrontation and the actual lightsabers hitting each other is actually longer cause they're basically playing it out in their heads, and the amazing thing is the move that Maul tries after the initial exchange, he actually attempts the move that killed Qui-Gon Jinn. He tries to basically bash him with the hilt."
Dave Filoni: "If you talk to a lot of people that sword fight, they'll tell you people that are very good don't have long fights. It's very quick. And so that scene, it's an homage to the Seventh Samurai. I think on one level people would be excited to see another prolonged lightsaber fight but I just never really saw the confrontation that way because to do that is to say the character's don't have growth. Yes, it's exciting as an audience member but it's not a really believable thing. The story telling has to evolve."

Also, Ben >>>> ROTS Kenobi in canon. The amount of horseshit in your post amazes me. 

Maul is capable of stomping a group of Inquisitors, a group that gave Ahsoka + Kanan trouble. He did this while holding back and pretending to be weak so that he could garner sympathy. Ahsoka herself believes Maul to be the strongest, as Maul states "It's only logical" in reference to taking Ezra with himself. This implies he's the most powerful as Ezra is the weakest. Furthermore, the difference in power is so dramatic that Ahsoka and Kanan trust Maul with Ezra.

Where? Contrast Ahsoka and Maul's fight with the Inquisitors, Maul is >>. Then add the fact that against Vader, Ahsoka was "heartbroken" and therefore hindered. Then add the fact that Vader knew her training style and had an advantage because of it, and then add the fact that Ahsoka nearly won. It's simple logic.

script of the fight filoni made long ago:
“Originally Maul perished in the season two finale where he returned. It was a one-off appearance... So originally in that episode you were gonna get Vader fighting Maul, Vader would have killed Maul, and then fought Ahsoka...

If a scrapped script is your evidence, might as well concede Ben > Vader.

Your evidence holds no weight, it contradicts what's in the actual appearance. If Vader > Maul, then Kenobi > Vader.

And that doesn't say Maul would've lost a straight fight, it only says he'd die (implying Vader's plot armor).

I am the first to restore the Sith to their rightful place in the galaxy. As we planned, the Jedi thought the Sith gone, we were so inconsequential. The pomp of the Jedi, was insufferable. I set the galaxy aflame, my apprentice. I've purged all weakness and impurity. From the ashes, we would have a new age. I learned from the mistakes of my forebears. I used those who were not Sith to achieve my aims.
Any my apprentices ? Darth Maul was a loss, but Darth Tyranus... He was a proton torpedo. He served his purpose and was gone... I had a superior candidate in mind.

In that long night, with their technology, we remade you. In this way, we saved the Empire. I would have the apprentice I required.
