And Qui-Gon had more knowledge of the force than mace did....he found a path towards immortality and didn't confine himself to understand one aspect of the force like Mace did. Qui-GOn was a rebel in the Jedi community, that's why he never made it to the council.
That is why in the OT the way of learning the force evolved - because of Qui-Gon, Yoda became his padawan learner during ROTS. Qui-Gon taught both Obi-Wan, who has done some azaming work and the great Yoda. Mace has a bald head and a purple lightsaber...
What I am saying is this: Maul would have become extremely powerful if he lived another 10 years. Points:
1. He was already the best warrior in the galaxy and killed 4 Jedi (3 others right before TPM)
2. In Sidious eyes was worthy enough to dedicate 20 years of mentoring, which shows that Sid thought he would become more powerful than he, as many Sith sought stronger apprentices.
3. Mace is overrated! Sid was toying with him in ROTS to get Anakin to turn. Imagine a Maul with 15 more years dueling with Mace....yes Mace would be toast!
Oh my good lord... For one, Maul is DEAD! He isn't gonna live another ten years, because Obi wan chopped him in half, okay? For second, Sidious was toying with no one, Mace knocked him down and was ready to seal his fate when Anakin decided to plop in the room and chop his hands off like a cheap bastard. I guarentee if Mace and Anakin got in a fair fight, Anakin would have met his fate. But instead, Mace got his ass launched 50 feet out of a damned window. Maul was not the best warrior in the galaxy! That is such an overstatement! And you continue to miss the point. Maul with 15 years? HE IS FOCKING DEAD! And imagine Mace with 15 years, "IF" he lived. He would tool Maul. Guarentee.
