Can someone be so kind to answer this TPM ? for me.

EU is alright for a bit of fun, but nothing beats the films. problem is, they always ahve to find another real baddie.

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.

To, OB1 didn't kicked any ass! He had luck!

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.

he was mauled 🙂

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

come on! Maul is killed by such a stupid move, that's LUCK!

(ok, one of my favorite characters is Maul, but hey!)

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?

anger? that's not used in the movie there...

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...

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww that was so bad. 😉

wooooooah, what happened there. i was replying to a cheesy joke yesserot made about him being "mauled" now its gone!

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