They fight in the same location as the Phantom Menace fight.

Maul isn't screwing around this time.

Kenobi.

Nephthys
Ditto.

DARTH POWER
I take it this is TPM Maul..

In that case Kenobi wins with difficulty.

But Im betting CW Maul will return considerably more powerful than CW/ROTS Obi-Wan.

So Maul can defeat Qui-Gon and Young kenobi but his superior cannot?

LOL I KNEW IT!!!!

If you remeber I did mention Maul had a double blade to help him fight mutiple opponents.

I doubt Maul would have lasted as long against these same 2 with just a regular lightsaber.

Kenobi's no match at all for ROTS Anakin. He was able to put up such a good fight at the end because of:

1) Anakin's mental state.

2) According to the ROTS novel, and according to Nick Gillard Kenobi and Anakin both know each others moves inside out, so its difficult for either of them to get past the others defences.

As for this fight, factor in how good Maul is at hand to hand combat. His martial arts, his kicks (which would be deadlier than Ventress's kicks).

This fight has no connection to the Anakin vs Obi-Wan fight, and no one would argue Maul could beat or even match ROTS Anakin.

Nephthys
Obi-Wan was defending against 4 lightsabers at once. erm

Not having a double-lightsaber isn't going to hinder him.

DARTH POWER
^

It is in this fight. If each jedi fight on opposite sides of him, (like they were against Maul at different points in the fight) I dnt see how he can defend against that.

It would at the very least make this fight A LOT harder than it was for Maul. And even though I said ROTS Obi-Wan would defeat TPM Maul, combat wise I see them in the same league.

We have reason (and when I say reason, I mean details from the ROTS novelization) to believe that Obi-Wan Kenobi was being empowered by the Force to an uncommon degree during that battle, hence his somewhat casual dominance over the general in what was otherwise a rivalry in which they seemed rather equitable in overall dueling ability.

Having prolonged duels is a tactic used to wear down or provide opportunities against superior opponents. Nothing implies that it would take a Soresu user forever and a day to defeat someone who is vastly their superior in skills and technique.

Furthermore, even if it was a long duel, it would mostly be of Obi-Wan toying with him, ala his CW movie fight with Ventress. Hardly some desperate scrap like against Anakin.

Maul's fought Palpatine, who's a great deal more dangerous than anyone I can recall Obi-Wan raising his blade against. excellent

Come at me (but not on me).

RagingBoner

Dooku > Palpatine in sabersaccording to the infallible Sorgo.

I shan't insult or attack Sorgo (for I was rather fond of him), but while the good Count's technical expertise very likelypossibly surpassed his that of his Master, Palpatine was substantially more powerful in the Force and that usually gives the opponent an edge; Palpatine is more dangerous, intelligent, and powerful than his elderly disciple.

So Maul's got the edge when it comes to the pinnacle of reputable opponents. excellent



I believe I just did both. I will allow you to wipe your face off with the nearest available napkin, but you will keep it as a souvenir. uhuh



edited for accuracy

edited again for accuracy; Palpatine was a practitioner of Juyo, which requires that he be a master of multiple lightsaber forms, which indicates great skill.

LOL Kenobi never got his ass handed to him by Dooku??!! Even that was with Anakin at his side.

Kenobi has no feats against Dooku whatsoever.

Kenobi also got disarmed and knocked on his ass by Ventress, someone who is not even close to Dooku's league.

Nephthys
As ever, I'm talking about lightsaber combat.

DARTH POWER
Still no feat N.

All we have is a thought of Dooku's while he was under serious pressure from Anakin..

Oh and getting disarmed and tossed on the floor by Ventress was in Saber combat.

Nephthys

RE: Blaxican
Ah yes. Let's ignore the half dozen times Kenobi has effortlessly destroyed Ventress in duels in favor of that one solitary time where she defeated him.

Darth Power at his finest.

Though even then, losing to Ventress is still not as laem as getting chopped in half by a padawan. Maul dies in seconds once again to the man with greater feats.

You'll be hard pressed to find me even one time (outside the clone war movie) that Kenobi "effortlessly" destroyed Ventress.

And Even in the CW movie Ventress disarmed Kenobi first, and had a chance to kill him, but waited a couple seconds due to PIS! And this also when she was still too weak to register as a threat in Sidious's eyes yet.

But I like how you guys have shifted the conversation from Obi-Wan's apparent feat over Count Dooku to me low-balling Obi-Wan.

Who utterly defeated him.

Jinsoku Takai
After almost being killed. Yes, he defeated him, but was still almost overwhelmed by a Darth Maul who was starved, beaten, and clinging to life.

Nephthys
He was briefly taken aback. He still owned him hard enoug that he was able to trace his outline with his saber to such a perfect degree that if Maul had twitched hed be dead. That isn't so much getting through his guard as it is holding it down and going Blue Velvet on its ass*.

Yes, obviously one's ability with a lightsaber is taken into account when deciding who is council material.



Yes, unless you're aware of some feats Anoon displayed that I'm not aware of? As far as I know, the only thing he has to his name is a single ambiguous quote.

What you think its just a coincidence that the 2 heads of the Council are also the 2 most powerful jedi in the order?? Or that Fisto, Kolar, Tiin (some of the best swordsmen in the history of the jedi) are all council members??

The council tends to have the most powerful jedi masters. With the exception of people like Qui-Gon who dnt follow the code.

In any case we know Qui-Gon was one of the best swordsmen of TPM era.

RE: Blaxican
No.

Good point smile

It probably is factored in during wartime, but during peace? No reason just being so-so with a blade wouldn't be enough if you're a good enough diplomat (/whatever).





Tiin's not even noted as one of the best at the time, let alone history. And I find the claim of Kolar being one of the best in history highly questionable, for that matter ^^; The only one of those three who I think lives up to the hype is Fisto, and in-universe he was just said to be one of the best of the current order, not in all it's history.

It's certainly not a coincidence that the best duelists like Windu and Kenobi are in the council, but it's likely more on the side of "The best at any area of Jedi skill can get in," rather than saber skill specifically being a requirement of being in the council.


Personally I'd say the best thing Qui-gon has to show is he taught Obi-Wan.

Does "second to none" refer to political power? I doubt it, as Janus would have been the first one to point it out. "Second to none" is one of the most commonly used hyperbolic statements used in the English language. Why is everyone assuming that the author is being literal, and not using hyperbole to say "He's really good"? It can be interpreted in different ways. There's no context to the quote in regards to what pool of fighters Anoon is being compared to. Is the author only comparing him to fighters in his era, or is he talking about in the entire history of the mythos up until that point? What does the author mean when he says "technical skill"? Is he throwing the word technical in there to emphasize that there are aspects of dueling that he does not have unsurpassed skill in? When he says technical is he referring to a mechanical knowledge, or pragmatic application?

These are all questions that I'm sure everyone can answer, however, there is nothing that points to one interpretation being more valid than another, hence, it is ambiguous.

Well I never said it was specifically decided on Saber skill. Could be different skills, but they seem to have the ones with the strongest and most powerful connections to the force, which usually translates to pretty damn good fighters.

Theres lots of things. Theres quotes calling him one of the best swordsmen of the order. Quotes saying he used to draw with Mace in saber sparring.

Then theres the fact the council sent him to fight the first Sith Lord emerging in centuries. Backed up by his padawan, but still He must have been good for them to have confidence sending him for that mission.

Yea, their feats really don't back that up. There's a lot of Jedi from other eras I'd take over Fisto, let alone Agen and Tiin, and even quite a few swordsjedi from the CW era above Agen and Tiin.

Well Kolar did completely own Quinlan Vos, but then I suppose you'll ask for Vos's feats. Then I'll tell you Vos killed Sora Bulq, and you'll ask for Sora's feats and so on and so forth.

I think narrations should be used as evidence too. Not just feats. End of the day those characters who we have seen more of tend to have more feats.

Maul has only one movie (in which he did not even appear that much) a novel and a couple of comics in which he appears.

Whilst Obi-Wan is in 4 movies (corporeal form) numerous episodes of CW's and numerous more EU works (novels and comics).

So he'll obviously have more feats, but that doesn't automatically mean he wins.

I'll point out that Dooku felt Vos was weak with a saber.

And I know Bulq, which is Vos's best feat, and he's good, no doubt, but I wouldn't rate him as a best-in-history type either.




But at the same time, *so many* Jedi of many era have been called "among the best ever". There is literally a dozen CW era Jedi who I'd put above Agen, Vos, Tiin, etc. in a duel.

And Tiin? When you're fifth out of fifth *in the room*, and Mace's team was chosen on the basis of "the best on-planet who happened to be available, not counting Anakin or Shaak Ti," then you aren't close to being in the contention for best in history.





Even if someone has only a few feats, high quality ones can make up for it, and Maul's feats simply aren't all that high.

Thats your opinion. Because you personally consider Qui-Gon and Anoon as nobody's to beat.

Although you forget Maul almost took Sidious in a fit of rage (in sabers).. You can make whatever excuses you want for that, but the fact is the vast majority of Jedi could not do that in any circumstance at all.

Yoda, Mace, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Shaak-Ti, Kit Fisto, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Plo Koon, Dooku. Sharad Hett was considered 'legendary,' and so on.

And there's more of other eras. Satele Shan, Luke, Revan, and all the various massively famous Jedi out there, though the praise doesn't get thrown around to quite as many in the other eras, even though we do have demonstrated that in general the eras aren't that far apart in skill.


Tiin's not even primarily known as a duelist, he's famous as a *pilot*, yet by that quote we're supposed to put him above, say, Raskta Lsu who can match blades with Bane on good terms?



When feats contradict quite, though, feats win. There are many Jedi who, going by their demonstrated skills, would be able to put up more of a fight against Sidious than Agen and Tiin did.

Quite frankly, it's a rare CW master who doesn't get talked up.



I wouldn't say nobody's, especially Qui-gon, and Anoon's still impressive in giving Maul a fight, but they don't have the impressive resume of some of the people who were more active in the war.





As was pointed out by someone else, Sidious in that fight did demonstrate he could not only get past Maul's guard but was on an entirely different level.

So it still doesn't put him in the top tiers, though it does show him to have very solid skills.

I see ROTS Obi-Wan winning this fight. He's considerably more powerful and experienced than he was in TPM. Even if he doesn't outright overpower Maul, he should be able to outsmart him with some strategic advantage. Padawan Obi-Wan was able to catch Maul off-guard and beat him. I see no reason to believe that his stronger ROTS counterpart wouldn't be able to overpower or outmaneuver Maul.

Zack Fair
Obi-Wan should win without much trouble IMO. Say what you want about Obi-Wan's Force powers...he did stalemate Anakin in RoTS. That is really impressive in my book. He also has the whole Soresu going for him and a lot of experience fighting lightsaber wielding opponents. It won't be anything like the first time they fought.
