If you haven't seen the newest trailer for Season 3 of Star Wars rebels, Maul is seen being kicked and knocked down by Ezra Bridger. Given Mauls previous defeats at the hands of TPM Obi Wan and Kanan Jarrus, is it possible Kaul is like Grievous a toothless tiger of a villain? Do these terrible loses at the hands of Padawans call into question Maul's only real saving grace in the Mythos as a duelist? If Maul is too inconsistent as well as a mediocre force user shlomo we use him I'm versus battles anymore? Discuss

You forgot when he was floored by a dog.

Ahahahahaahahahaaha!

Is Grievous too inconsistent to use in Vs battles?

How about Luke?

How about Jaden Korr?

No, we shouldn't just stop using someone because they're inconsistent, we merely have to specify which version of a character to use.

Nah he's consistent. Consistently fodder tier.

Yeah, that's... really pathetic. He missed over half a dozen slashes on a downed opponent who just keeps rolling from side to side...

Maul is pretty shit, lol.

I believe his skills atrophied from the end of the Clone Wars till the time he meets the Rebels. He had virtually nobody to practice on

Canon Maul is. Legends Maul is beast

Seriously.

For how powerful he is supposed to be, Luke has some of the most underwhelming duels ever. It's gotten to the point where in every match-up featuring him the OP inevitably has to mention "he isn't holding back" or some such.

It's actually Filoni's Maul. Filoni is a dickhead.

Bad writing. A collateral effect from the "that dude is better than the one who was better than the best ever..." that is so abudant in SW.

Maul in Rebels is only there to set the benchmark and show the public how much the protagonists are evolving.

Can we start a petition asking Filoni to stop wanking "good" characters and lowballing Maul?

TenebrousWay, I share your views. Maul will redeem himself by defeating Vader though.

But... he'll be amped by Talzin and everyone will use that as an excuse

Can't we just use TCW/SoD Maul as a snadard and stable version of him? And wait with the whole OM Maul idea? Perhaps he will be confirmed to be weakest version of him...

At least characters like GG, and Luke have reasons for being so inconsistent... Maul is just the biggest victim of bad plot since the dawn of Star Wars Prequels, tbh. His inconsistencies are slowly, but surely, becoming his consistent performance.

Soon Maul soloing the Black Sun, choking Kenobi or being one of the most well trained Sith in history will be outliars and inconsistent high showings, rather than his actual level of power.

Only if you try and fit both Canon and Legends for Maul.
