ROTS Anakin (Legs and all!) versus Maul. I've searched, and I haven't seen this particular fight.

Rayvann Sadow
Anakin for reasons I am to lazy to type up.

ESB-1138
Anakin would win. He had the upper hand most of the fight against Obi-Wan in ROTS and had 3 years of war to increase hi skills.
Obi was more then a match for Maul when he was a Padawan and Obi-Wan was on the defense against Anakin and Obi was using form IV the same form he used against Maul. Don't believe me on that look it up or just watch the fight. Form IV has jumps and spins and Obi was doing a lot of spinning and he had more trouble with Anakin then he did with Maul.
Anakin wins.

Apex
Despite popular believe Maul does have a good chance of winning this.

Anakin may have more raw talent but his rage was uncontrollable at times and cost him quite a few limbs.

Maul being trained since infancy in the ways of the darkside knew how to better handle his rage and control it. He was also manipulative and could probably egg Anakin on like he did Obi-Wan in TPM, and ultimately defeat him

Maul was smarter than what we give him credit for. He tricked Qui-Gon a Jedi master, and then baited Obi-Wan and could have killed him.

He successfully defeated two decent Jedi, and is the only person in the PT to realisticaly fight more than one opponent and school them both. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan had trained together for years, and not only did he fight them at once, but was able to control the fight. He threw kicks, flips and everything at those two and beat them, he also used the terrain to his advantage, and took out the master then the apprentice strategically.

Maul was very skilled in the art of combat and not enough people realize it, he was also a good military strategist as well, he dictated the whole blockade of Naboo, and it only failed because he was too focused on slaying Jedi to command his fleet properly in the end. Sidious told him to create a blockade, but he was the one that orchestrated everything.

Anakin might win, but Maul I think has the upper hand.

Where did you get that from ? In TPM the blockade of Naboo was already installed when Sidious introduced Maul. In fact Maul is only on Naboo because he followed the two Jedi.

Back to the topic: Anakin will take Maul. He kicked quite some people around in ROTS (including Cin Drallig) and he is just too fast for Maul. Or making it easier: ROTS Obi-Wan would kill Maul, ROTS Anakin is better in terms of sheer lightsaber combat.

Apex
The blockade was in place, but Maul ran it. In an old book I have called Maul's journal. It talks about how Maul let the confontation with the Jedi cloud his judgement and allow for the Naboo fighters to succesfully penatrate the blockade.

*Hands out tissue for the writer of such a work, since it obviously beats off to Maul's supposed greatness*

I'm starting more and more to agree with the SW purists' viewpoint. Some EU is beyond ****ed up.

It's wrote by Jude Watson and it doesn't really make Maul out to be a great warrior but it mainly focuses on his relationship with Palpatine. It talks about how he trained Maul to be mistake free and ultimately failed.

It's really a kids book I had back in the 6th Grade but it was interesting.

DarthMaul9123
darth maul of course

Darth_Janus
Well, I may be mistaken, but anyways, I think a lot of Eu needs to be under limitations, since it always seems to be championing some person or another. It's like the author lives out his ego through the character of his choice. Stupid really. Like NJo Luke. That is a prime example of how fan worship can go mad.

Darth_Glentract
i dont think is Anakin is better in pure lightsaber combat. I forget the name of the guy who said that, but he is a dumbass in my book. Being smart enough to use terrain to you advantage and out-think your opponents is part of LS combat. Obi-wan is better in everything except raw potential.

Anakin might have this fight, but I think I am going to give it to Maul. In the fight in TMP, he had already fought a lot of Sand People who had ambushed him. His leg was hurt during that fight. Without that injury he could probably take Anakin.

Darth_Janus
You mean somebody went ahead and said that Maul was already winded and wounded from earlier?

Wow, talk about stacking the deck for your favorite sith...

DarthMaul9123
true true glentract knows this

Darth_Glentract
sorry, you guys made like four posts while i was typing. that was directed at Nai

DarthMaul9123
woah type faster

Darth_Janus
Next they'll be saying Yoda lost the fight with Sidious because he had to kill a million clone troopers to get to Sidious' office.

Ridiculous.

Apex
I've never read NJO, but people seem pretty upset about it. From what I've heard which is mostly on this forum it seems like Luke made some adjustments to the Order reformed it and it's more leniant.

He has unbelieveable powers, but aren't those are only because he studies a different aspect of the force or so I thought.

One reason why Qui-Gon wasn't on the council, he followed the living force, but the council looked down upon that area of the force. If I had the source I could go all into it, but its late and I'm tired.

Admiral Akbar

in the same book that other guy was talking about it said that Maul wounded his leg when he was ambushed.

Darth_Glentract
Apex, all Jedi use the living force. Then there are NJO crackheads using the Unifying Force.

Darth_Janus
Yeah, and I'm sure Maul fought eight jedi ebfore QGJ, and that totally explains why he didn't react when he saw Obi-Wan fly up and saber his ass.

Damn fanboys with publishers.

DarthMaul9123
haha crack heads....... just like the crackhead on your picture

Yeah it did say that. It says he was in his Sith Infiltrator( his ship, that's what's called) on a mission, cloacked, but Gamorrean pirates hacked his cloaking device and tried to steal it. Maul kills all of them on their ship and sustains a leg injury.

Although Palpatine who finishes the book because Maul is dead says the injury didn't really matter in the fight. Palp said Maul was at his best when he fought and lost because he got cocky and then it goes on to say that palpatine would make sure his next apprentice was mistake free.

Darth_Glentract
hmmm. i guess i forgot that part.

Rayvann Sadow
WTF is the difference? Of Living force and Unifying force?

DarthMaul9123
there is none

Togotians are large catlike creatures. The males are pretty primitive and live for the hunt. They have a code of honor and do not utilize technology much.

So yeah, that author is full of shit.

Okay heres the story.

Maul was on his way to Tatooine from somewhere were he was talking to Sidious, and on his way three he mets a ship with a distress signal and ignores it but is surrounded by Togarian pirates, supposedly "the most fierce in the galaxy and expert pilots." As said by his master Sidious.

They fire on the Infiltrator and he stops in space waiting for them to board his vessel. The book says they didn't destroy it because they wanted Maul's ship. It says he could escape but he wasn't going to let them have his ship so he lands it in their ships docking bay and boards their vessel kills them and in the mix of things gets hit on the leg, when he gets hit, it shows a quote like he's remembering and he's thinking about Sidious telling him don't show pain if your enemy hits you. He kills all of them even though he's in a hurry to get to Tatooine to catch the Queen, and her company, which is Qui, Anakin, Obi, and etc. It has a whole chapter about how he knew mechanics and has an expert in combat, which his master taught him.

This thread is a mess...

You have to read it to understand it. It shows you how Sidious trained Maul, and talks about their relationship which is kind of a father, son thing. I like it anyway. It was better than Padme's and kid Anakin's journal.


@Rayvann Sadow
No Maul's not mechanic he knows about mechanics like Anakin.

And no, back to my point, togorians were already established before this was written. For the author of this journal to say that togoriansd are fierce pirates of whatever is unsupported bullshit.

confused Well if that's the case I don't know what to tell you, this is SW. Writers tend to contradict each other, although he does say they are Togarian pirates which may mean they left their world to be pirates, but oh well, obviously these writers need to get their shit together because this is ridiculus.

Another problem with NJO books. In Traitor I was a little confused because Jacen had decided not to use the force anymore like a week earlier and then he is like, "Hey Vong Baby. Come here and let me use the force-you are-no-longer-immune to and I'm gonna Eff you up."

Meh, you have to be a tad bit more original. You can use these words as bases, but you shouldn't go off using the same ones. For example, Sidious/insidious, Traya/betrayal, Nihilus/nihil, etc.

Not close enough, and full of spelling errors. stick out tongue

Revan = Revenge
Malak = Malice
Maul = Maul
Vader = Dutch for Father
Sidious = Insidious
Traya = Betrayal
Sion = ' ' for heir
Nihilus = Nihilism

Go look em up. Exar Kun means crap, that's his name, not his Darth title. He didn't have one.

I put my money on Maul, his rage wouldn't get the better of him, just his cockiness.

joeyvermont

Malak = Malak without "K" which is "Mala" which apparently means "Jawless" in some language.

DarthMaul9123
you could go with malice

Nai Fohl
Just to mention it: "Vader" doesn't come from the dutch word for farther...that was taken from "invader".

Darth L. Dipsit
Not "farther" but "father" I think - as in papa.

Nai Fohl
Yes Dipsit. That was just typed too fast...

Darth L. Dipsit
Okay, sorry about that - I wouldn't have said anything, of course, if I were sure, but since it was a word, I just wanted to comment. Thanks for setting me straight.

Nai Fohl
No problem there, Dipsit.
If I would have got that wrong (the word "farther" not "father"wink I'd have appreciated that comment of yours.
