The real point here is this: adamantium is INDESTRUCTIBLE. It cannot be cut by a light saber. There is only one being capable of manipulating adamantium and that is Magneto, and that is because his power gives him complete control over all metal and adamantium is a metal. Mags innately has dominion over all metal, even ones that are otherwise indestrucible. But Mags aside, no other character is destroying adamantium. (well maybe molecule rearrangers like nate grey, but hey those guys are like gods).
Wolverine's skeleton has been removed and he lived. Magneto did it to Wolverine, but Wolverine still tried to release his claw, putting so much stress, his bones came out. Look at that pic at Maul vs. Wolvie, notice his claws are bone. So that wouldn't kill him. Wolverine would eventually win this fight. Maul would have to live every second aware of Wolvie, never sleeping. Maul would eventually have to die, while Wolvie would keep living. Wolvie will definitely outlive Maul, given Wolverine was born in sometime around 1802 and doesn't look over his 30's.
look at the star wars movies, the light sabre had trouble cutting through the blast door in episode one, and when they closed the heavy blast doors, it wouldn't cut it at all, Qui Gon had to insert it and wait for it to melt. Now granted I don't know what type of metal this is, but no mention was ever made of an indestructible metal in star wars so we can assume it was just hardened steel or something similar (something much, much, MUCH, weaker than adamantium). Adamantium is INDESTRUCIBLE.
Adamantium is inderstructible to any measures humans have countered yet. But this is Star Wars, in which humans can control lengths of light. For all we known, there could be a hundred things in the SW universe that can cut through adamantium, we don't know, but I would put money on a ligthsaber. But even if it can't, it doesn't matter, Wolverine's claws are made of bone.

This is true. It is mass accelerated to 3.0 x 10^8 m/s. The only thing it cannot cut is another sample of pure energy (blaster bolts, lightsaber beams, etc.) I don't think Wolverine would stand a chance. Here it is, though:
Adamantium = Not real.
Lightsaber = Not Real.
No one knows which one would cut through what because they aren't real! You cannot determine which one would win. It is impossible, so stop trying.
If Wolverine tried to jump towards Maul, even if the Lightsaber couldn't go through Wolv's claws, he'd still get f*cked up by Maul.
Jesus, what a damn stupid post to argue.
One, there is no specifications on Wolverine's abilities. This is important because in about '93 he had the adamantium twisted and pulled out of his body quite painfully by Magneto. He survived, but he was mentally scarred, and left the X-Men for a time. His claws still exist, but they are bone. They are quite strong, don't get me wrong. But a lightsaber would cleave him in pieces. And despite what most comic fanboys think, Wolverine's healing powers aren't on par with Deadpool's, and he could be rendered completely immobile and helpless with a well-placed strike (Or just use the Force to control his own hands and make him pin himself to a wall)
Two, everyone rants and raves that adamantium can't be destroyed, but apparently it can be pulled out and twisted by Magneto with relatively no problem. Granted, Magneto's power is immense, but if he can bend the metal to his will, it is malleable. And thus it can be bent, if not outright destroyed. Now, a lightsaber burns hot enough to get through space age blast doors. All metal is simply liquid moving very slowly at room temperature. Under such hot extremes, even Wolverine's adamantium would distort and melt. He could literally be undone with a few well placed blows, and considering how easily Maul could keep Wolverine immobile (Remember, Magneto could will Wolverine to a stop easily. A Sith Lord, even one as relatively minor as Maul, could do something similar, or arrange for Wolverine to be still enough to do damage). Point being, if average human beings (read: the scientists who created Weapon X) can control and manipulate the metal, and it can be turned into liquid form and can be grafted to his skeleton, it can also be forceably removed or even like I said, distorted by the raw heat of the lightsaber. All you people saying "adamantium is INDESTRUCTIBLE" are seriously brainslow and need to go back to science class and pay attention. Nothing is indestructible, save for the very smallest parts of an atom perhaps. Things are only hard and solid in comparison to other objects at a given temperature. If you have a weapon that is like a piece of the sun, shoving it anywhere near or in the body of someone who has plated metal on their skeletal system (Which in itself is ultimate bullshit for you right there) that stuff is going to come unglued.
The end result is Wolverine getting schooled by a Sith lord with power of the Force, and the ability to rend his body, piece by piece, and distort his skeletal shell to the point where Wolverine, should he survive, would be wishing he hadn't.
And about Wolverine not being able to be amputated... didn't he have only one damn arm in Bishop's alternate future? How do you explain that?
If Darth Maul had no control over The Force, Wolverine could possibly win this fight. (After a nice beating from Maul and his lightsaber though..) But with The Force, Wolverine is litteraly toast. You see, if Darth Maul uses Force Lightning, Wolverine's heart will stop from the electric shock. Or Maul could just telkeneticaly break Wolvie's heart. Whichever he wants. But Force Lightning is more realiable as it also shuts down the brain..
But I'd like to add that it's a myth that metal conducts with electricity. Though Wolverine's in no position to believe differantly..
But hell, why would they fight? I could see Maul being told by The Emperor telekeniticaly to push Wolverine over the edge so he can become a puppet to the sith's plans. The guy has all the requirements to make a great pawn to the darkside. I don't think they'd be stupid enough to introduce him to The Force, but he'd make a great meat shield..

Actually, liquid conduct eletricity pretty damn good. And I'll be Paracelsus' Jewish uncle before I rely on a single demonstration on mythbusters in my already presumptuous fantasy land thesis.
And Faunus, I used to be a huge Marvel fan until about '93 or '94, when Uncanny X-Men dropped my favorite artist, John Romita Jr. in favor of someone who probably did anime beforehand. And I was seriously gettin' pissed with X-Men 2099 making characters become completely inconsistant with their starting roles and personalities by the twelfth issue, (And reuining a plot I thought was damn better than Bloodties or Fatal Attractions) and I gave up on comics. And seeing as they all now look like half assed anime manga wanna be artwork and not the classic, ink penned renditions I grew up with, I protest picking them up.
