Darth Maul runs the gaunlet!!!!

Has double-bladed lightsaber and rests between fights.

1. Obi Wan Kenobi(TPM)
2. Qui Gon Jinn
3. Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker(AotC)
4. Kit Fisto
5. Plo Koon
6. Obi Wan Kenobi(RotS)
7. Anakin(not thinking clearly like when fighting Obi Wan)
8. Count Dooku
9. Mace Windu
10. Darth Vader

I think he will have trouble with 3. I dont see him getting past 6 or 7 and certainly not 8.

i think he is stronger then obi wan even in phantom menace but he let obi wan get that one shot in instead of finishing him off right there and then, he played around to much, i think that if he had lived on he'd be pretty darn powerful, no darth tyrannus level but on obi wans level in ROTS.

According to The Phanton Menace: the Visual Guide, and several other sources, Maul was actually one of the most skilled and most dangerous Sith apprentices in history.

I think a lot of people underestimate Maul because of the fight against Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. He pretty much dominated the fight, and if you've read any of the novels and EU literature, it expands on Maul's arrogance. During fights, he has a habit of intentionally fighting on a lower standard - to gauge his opponent's strength and skill, and see if they will provide a challenge.

He did such things to prove that, even without going full out, he was capable of dominating most people.

Excellent Post! 😉

I also have noticed that Maul is under-estimated by some people here.

I think that he is capable enough to reach the 8th spot at-least among the mentioned opponents above.

Now! if Dooku uses his greater mastery of force to his advantage against Maul in early stages of fight, then Maul is done with but if Dooku engages in Saber Combat against Maul then Maul has more chance to win and proceed to 9th spot as well.

At 9th spot, he will get a fight of his life though.

Maul won't go beyond ROTS Obi-Wan.

I sah he gets to 6.

I think he can get past Kenobi. He takes on 2 jedi on at a time(Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter) and is still disapointed at the oppisition's lack of skill. In TPM he clearly dominated the fight and was killed in the lamest way in Hollywood history. So I always consider that he beat them. I'm sure if he lived on Sidious would have taught him more about the Force. He would have probably learned force lightning(assuming he hadn't learned it already). I think when it comes to the Count, Darth Maul is on another level as far as saber dueling goes. Mace and Vader would hand Maul his *** though.

I don't see Maul breaking through Obi's defence by ROTS. Being able to parry Grievous "16 hits per second" is damn good, and seeing as Grievous with two arms could take 5 jedi at once (compared to Maul's 2), I'd say Obi-Wan has proved himself good enough to stalemate or win in a swordfight at least!

GG wasn't even 40% of what he was in Clone Wars. His limbs were being cut off in a matter of seconds in RotS. He was seriously weakened and depowered by the time of RotS(thanks to Mace Windu 😄).

I still think Kenobi can kill CW Grievous.

Proof of the "40%" thing.

It was IN the novelisation (which mean's his ROTS state) where he could cut that fast, so point moot. And that he was beaten so fast only speaks for Obi-Wan...

I made up the 40% thing but seriously, think about it. GG was fighting 5 jedi w/ ease with only 2 lightsabers yet in RotS Kenobi beats him in a matter of seconds in a lightsaber duel before GG retreats.

Yeah, he is weaker, however he could still hit damn fast, and he was still good!

Which again only speaks for Obi-Wan.

How much rest does he get? No rest = 3 maybe 4
Rull rest = 6

He is fully healed between fights also.

this is a cool gauntlet, especially because Mauls my favorite Sith 😛, but nehoo i say he gets to the Count if Maul is really bloodlusted. like that one guy said, u cant underestimate his uncanny sword fighting abilities. hes easily one of the best swordsman of his time.
