Pre Obi-Wan fight Darth Vader vs. Darth Maul

What? Maul had to separate Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan from combat knowing he couldn't win.

Not likely; Maul seemed to be holding his own against them both fairly well. He tried to separate them because it would make the killing easier. He kicked Obi-Wan off the ledge with the intent to kill him - which opened him up for an attack from Qui-Gon.

And it was Qui-Gon who separated them, lol. He was reckless and tried to take Maul on by himself, and didn't wait for Obi-Wan.

Even then the reason he defeated Qui-Gon was because Maul has more stamina compared to Jinn.

Qui-Gon's thoughts provided by the novelization and the script disagree with you, my friend. Qui-Gon confesses in the book that Maul is just better than him. He's got more weapons training, he's stronger, faster, more agile, and is just better.

According to his thoughts, the only reason that he even held his own is due to his experience as a swordsman. The end.

Plus once Qui-Gon died Obi-Wan was putting the hurt on Maul. Maul got a lucky shot against Obi-Wan and so that means he was pwning him.

Obi-Wan "put the hurt on Maul" because he gave into his anger. What do we know from our Star Wars experience? Anger and rage, though tools of the Dark Side, have been proven to give a combatant a physical edge in battle.

Maul was surprised at the onslaught, but again, was more skilled than Obi-Wan.

Maul was going to pwn Obi-Wan. Not the reverse.

Not likely. If it wasn't for that hole Obi-Wan would have torn up Maul in straight up combat.

You can't be serious.

It even states in th eNovel that Maul was the better fighter.

Okay lets get this straight people I've done my homework on darth maul and he was by far the worst sith there was. No he was not at his peak this was his test. and he would have beaten ob1 if it wasnt for shear luck on ob1's part. darth maul had more rage than even vader!!! Maul would have surpassed sids. he also had way more knowlege of the force than anakin did. at the age of eight he was already learning how to control it and at an even earlier age he was able to survive on his own on the surface of mustifar and he did. He had also recived alot of his training at a school of assassins and was much stronger than any sith we've seen yes even dooku. and people Darth Maul didnt die after his fight with ob1 it was in a book i read cant remember the name but its all about his life. when u find this book as im sure some of u will look in the begining when he is doing one hand push ups at the age of three he had amazing mental disipline and anakin didnt therefore with all of tnese facts i say he would have killed anakin not to metion sids and everyone other than possibly yoda.

Tee hee. 5 1/2 years later.

Throttle down, preteen.

Also, almost none of the people who previously replied in this thread even come here anymore. Way to be situationally unaware.
