Yeah, she needed her ass saved from some common thugs on Taris.
This is an obvious indication that she could hand Maul's ass to him on a silver platter. Hell, she could comfortably take him and Sidious and Yoda at the same time! Lolololol!1111!!!
Sorry. I was using Planet-logic. How'd I do?
Also, Bastilla needed help when she was put in a cage by common thugs.
That was when she was weak after crash landing on Taris, and those 'common thugs' had used stimulants to suppress her force strength, IIRC.
Her battle meditation is impressive, but, it won't help here.
The strength of the force required to be so adept at battle meditation will help here.
Maul has slain a freaking army [of non force users], and with no distress.

Only because she lost her lightsaber in the crash. And besides she said that it took a LOT of those commno thugs to take her down, even without her lightsaber.
She won't admit that you saved her, and is trying to seem holier-than-thou because she is a Jedi. Also, the thugs wouldn't kill her, she was worth too much.
And AC, again, she was weak after having crash landed on taris, and like Blaxican said, she didn't have her lightsaber on her.
Well apparently she is uber with the force, no common thugs should be able to touch her...
But really, this downplaying thing that you guys are doing is nice, real good stuff, it in no way shows that you're both fanboys.
Fanboys of whom? I actually like Bastila, its just in this case she gets owned, Im only correcting your misinformation as usual.

Okay, all quotes and references are from the Ultimate visual Guide. Maul wins this.Maul is a beast. He is "An almost unstoppable weapon." He had "Constant training to become stronger, faster, and smarter than any adversary could anticipate." Maul "Masters the lightsaber and practices martial arts and marksmanship." He "Survives a month against a legion of assassin droids." During his duel with Sidious, he "Opens himself up to the darkside and becomes a true Sith Lord." Maul is also a master of Teras Kasi, the ultimate martial arts style, and incorporates his style and attacks into his lightsaber techniques.
Not enough? I think it is, but, if you want to be stubborn:

Does it look like I'm trying to downplay Bastilla? No. I'm just posting that Maul is a beast. I mean "Despite their combined training and experience, the Jedi are not prepared for the ruthless fighting techniques employed by Darth Maul." Also, "Darth Maul uses his superior Sith fighting skills" to kill a battle-focused Qui Gon in thirty seconds.
Planet, you seriously need to stop dishing out the "fanboy!" moniker to people whose arguments you don't agree with. You're a self-professed fanboy yourself, so you're on identical footing. I could point out that you're a Bastilla fanboy, by suggesting that her knowledge of the dark side actually came anywhere close to that of Maul's. Such an assertion is stupid.
Bastilla isn't a Force titan. Maul's knowledge of the dark side far outstrips her own, and he has been shown to resist Force lightning from a relatively strong Force user, which only speaks well for him, considering how the whole attack was one of "surprise" according to the visual guide.
He is far more versed in melee combat skills than she is. He's stronger. He's faster. He's more agile. He's got this in the bag. So, stop making ridiculous and falsified assessments and make something logical. I understand that such a thing will be out of character, but that's the way debates are won - not through your habit of extreme exaggeration and refusal to accept fact.
Well apparently she is uber with the force, no common thugs should be able to touch her...
Again, she was weak after the crash.
Fanboys of whom?
Whom? That's posh. Perhaps Darth Maul.
I actually like Bastila,
Like her as in, like her? Do you like Revan too? 🙂
its just in this case she gets owned, Im only correcting your misinformation as usual.
Like he owned Mighella, right? 🙄 - (gosh, who made that smilie, I love it!)
