Darth Maul's fatal mistake?

Maul was very good indeed.

Vader was clumsy. As GL says, the true fighting styles are in the prequel movies, not the half-hearted styles of the Classic films. Vader's injuries impair him.

ok, i refer you to clone wars chapter seven, compare Dooku and Assaj ventress. she uses acrobatics, twirls and all sorts of impressive moves, yet dooku counters everything she has with quick, percise and steady movements. That makes him the better fighter. And his experience as a jedi would not have mattered since as far as I know, the jedi consider force lightning a perversion and never use it.

Oh, Dooku is the MAN, no doubt there!

yeah, he sure handled Ventress in that episode, that was sweet. Can't wait to watch Anakin mop her up. Did you see him take out those fighters in chapter 10? Damn that was cool. At least we get a taste of all of this "Anakin's a great pilot" but we never get to see it. That was very cool.

i would have liked to have seen qui gon vs. count dooku.

dooku would win. a reason why the jedi may not ahve been prepared for someone like maul was several generations of no formal duels. I'm sorry but I don't think those pathetic sith wannabees who call themselves dark jedi are much of a challenge for fully trained jedi

Did any of you read the comic where Vader fights Maul?

no, is it a good infinity? does it match up with the ANH and ESB infinities?

It isnt an infinity it happened just before ANH. Some Dark Force Adepts managed to bring Maul back or re-create him. Vader defeats him and then slaughters all the Dark Force Adepts who were former Jedi of the Old Republic.

dark force adepts?
wasn't in the OT nor in the PT up till now, so it's all rubbish,
if you want to discuss EU do that in the appropriate section

Yup, EU in the EU section please...

yerssot-in regards to you Jedi can't levetate 20 feet, ever heard of artistic license? I think 5 minutes forces you to skip someone taking and elevator or the stairs. Lighten the F up man, they're CARTOONS. 🙂

and that Vader Maul fight was in an issue of Star Wars Tales, which the Darkhorse website describes as being for creators to show their interpretations of Star Wars and isn't to be considered even EU canon. Its just to tell cool stories that don't really have to do with anything. Its on about the same level as SW video games as far as meaning anything. That was just to show a cool what if situation.

still, it doesnt belong in the film forum though

oh i agree, I'm just letting him know so he doesn't run around telling people Maul and Vader have fought when its not even EU canon (and most certainly not film canon, but that goes without saying).

Hey guys, I know its not canon in both EU and movie standards. Those type of weekly comics are just for pure entertainment only, like those tons of Marvel comics from the seventies that nearly had nothing to do with the star wars saga. As meph said, we were talking about Maul being brilliant, so I thought I'd bring the vader vs maul comic into the discussion and ask if you'd seen it since it would be a great duel if it happened. That's all.

yeah they did, Tartokovsky is a huge fan. besides, I thought that every individual storyboard was scrutinized by Lucas and his people extensively

no, just about who gets killed and who doesn't

As much as it pains me 😉 i gotta go with yerssot on this one.

And Dirty Vader- the comics ARE EU canon, just not Tales because Lucasfilm lets people write whatever the hell they want without any checking against other books/comics for continuity. If you look in all the novels and comics concerning the clone wars, they include, in order of time, each comic arc and novel. the comics since Episode 1 have been considered EU canon. Tales is the only exception since then.
