Why didn't the Nabooians shoot Darth Maul dead?

In Episode 1 when they were in the Hanger taking it back, Darth Maul opened the door in front of them, unarmed, waiting. Instead of taking the "long way" why didn't they just shoot him dead right there, when they had the perfect oppertunity, leaving Qui-Gon alive, and allowing them a quicker way to the throne

Because then you wouldn't have had an awesome battle between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan against Maul.

Maul probably would have just dodged or whipped out his lightsaber and blocked.

Plus, Qui-Gon told them to move on, saying that the Jedi would handle it.

I think GL wanted the *so far* only black guy in the PT (Mace didn't really count) to have a god fiht seen, not looking all menacing than just get owned by a bunch of underpaid security gaurds with guns.

That is a pretty plausible out of universe event.

Ray Park isn't black....
I understand the whole movie big fight scene thing, but he was unarmed, not ready to pull his saber, would have been over so quick

All Jedi are ready to pull their lightsaber in an instant, and Jedi reflexes can allow you to evade blaster fire if the dodging Jedi is expecting it.

But Darth Maul IS black. Well, at that point he was.

Kaithen, Maul's defence against the force (blocking, suppressing, resisting) is not as good as Vader's or Yoda's. He would not be able to block the bolts with his hand.

He'd either block them, dodge them, then proceed to kill each and every one of them.

Yup, that sure sounds like Supershadow to me



Anyway, this is complete BullShivitz, but Maul might have influenced thier decision with his frightening appearence. Anyway, the Nabooians should have shot him, but as someone said, the Jedi told them they could handle it (which theyd did. Barely).

Maul killed more soldiers than that at the Black Sun, and they didn't even slow him down some seconds....

Vader's blocking was in part to his Armor on his glove and Robotic hand, and to the Black Sun guards, I'm sure he had his lightsaber drawn (never read those books)

Uh...I wasn't talking about Maul parrying with his hand, I just said that he defeated alot of other, more experienced thugs in the black sun and defeated them damn fast, these guys would not pose as a problem. I know Maul cannot deflect with his hands.
