Yes, there seems to be a shortage of really good "bad guys" can GL save us in ATOC?

It doesn't matter what good 'bad guys' are in Attack of the Clones. Obi-wan will kick their ass, like he did Maul's!

Ask Ush about that. There's a problem with ever badder villains.

Yes, power inflation for the villains may well become a Star Wars problem. But I'd have to open a thread about it to explain in full, and then people would just say I was moaning...

Ah, but yerssot...there's no such thing as luck !
Now if Maul had grabbed Qui-Gon's lightsabre in mid-air as Obi-Wan pulled it to him........

In my experience there is no such thing as luck-
that's just bragging! there is luck 
That's what I'm talking about Gun, Maul can fight against a master and a knight, he can kill the master, he is victorious against the knight, but then, all of a sudden, a stupid move, that could be easily blocked costs him his life, that's luck!

Luck is part of life....or death as in Maul's case.

Obi-Wan didn't believe in luck. So that's certainly not what HE put it down to.

I'll admit that Maul's death was a bit abrupt, but hey it was a very nice force-flip.

It was arrogance on Maul's part. Typical bad guy fallacy. Thought his opponent was beaten.
Clearly Maul was the better duellist, of course. But his arrogance was his undoing.
Likewise, Obi-Wan failed against Maul when trying to use anger, and beat him when he tried a more thoughtful tactic.
See the sort of moral lessons GL likes to make?

Yes it is. Blimey, did you see his face after Qui-Gon died, in the final exchange of blows with Maul?

didn't you had another opinion about this all?
hey, I think it's on the official site or something like that
but it goes like this:
movies > novalizations > eu
so if something is said in eu, it can be overdone by novalizations, and that can be overdone by the movies, and in the movies it's not said so, anger was there...

I think it was made clear in the film that Obi-Wan was using anger, yerss.
