So what? neither did any of the PT jedi before TPM. Obi-wan and Qui-Gon never had to fight sith lords before, ok it was the first time a sith was seen in like a 1000 years. Experience?!? Luke beat Vader who had alot more experience. Experience doesnt always mean automatic victory. alot of factors involved. Worst Case Scenario he pulls an obi-wan on maul and eventually wins. Best Case Scenario he wins like he did with vader.
lol plus, we all know that suited-up vader as we know him blows anway, he can barely even walk hes handicapped...he should be in the specail olympics for fencing or something
ROTJ angry Luke is underestimated. He has the advantages of being the grandson of the Force'n all that....not to mention Maul's an idiot when it comes to simple things as finishing off the supposedly weak.
I figured you smarter then that... Prophecy bullshit..
Anyways Angry ROTJ Luke is something that lasted a few seconds swung his lightsaber from left to right in a wide arc like an idiot and for some reason managed to take down Vader.
ROTJ Luke normally is even worse, Vader could have taken him a dozen times in the fight but didn't, and he wasn't even trying then like he wasn't in ESB, until Luke got lucky and hit vader, half a second later Luke missed an arm. Maul would do so even faster, with a double bladed lightsaber and experience. Luke wouldn't know what to do, he just simply does not have the experience.
See, it's called 'fighting'. And without CGI it's called 'realism'.
If Maul's so great, how'd he get killed by a Padawan?
A. He didn't think
B. He was too arrogant
C. Both

Arrogant would've been the more precise word. Darth Maul's no fool. Although being cocky is apart of Zabraki heritage he was smart as hell. The Force just wasn't with him at that moment. And we all clearly know that the real version of Darth Maul would be too quick for that lame move Obi Wan pulled. Darth Maul is has near unnatural speed, instinctively, he's very fast and reacts quick as hell. Lucas just did that to kill him. When I watched Ep1 in the theatres in '99 people in the audience booed when Maul was killed (like that). Cause everyone knew there was no way.
Oh yea, and Lord Maul kills Luke in the same way he killed Jin, only just within 10 seconds of the fight.

Maul smart as hell? This is why Obi-wan's a stain somewhere.
And Maul'd be able to take advantage of Luke's old age and tire him easily thanks to the fact he's over sixty? Well, guess what: The 'Real' Darth Maul WAS too slow and stupid to react, whatever else anyone thinks is an image of him in their head. Not only that, Luke's hardly a pushover by ROTJ in the Force or the saber. He's been trained by Yoda who named him Jedi and he's able to choke someone with a gesture.
IF by 'trained' you mean 'given basic instruction' then....
Weaker than Vader or no, he certainly got the better of him there. Vader was stronger than Kenobi and we see how this went. I'm sure Yoda would give his last hope basic training and not actually fully educate him on the Force.
