Darth Maul and Darth Bane vs Mace Windu, Qui-Gon, and Rahm Kota

Gideon made a great case for Maul. According to the novel, Maul had been directing the duel from the beginning, leading them to a place of his choosing where he capitalize on Ataru's need for breathing space.

As this is Mustafar (and I can only assume the facility), then the hallways may once again play against Qui-Gon. But with Kota there as well... I'd give Maul a 4/10, seeing as how there's been no prep time like there had been in TPM.

overall mace, qui gon, and kota take this 7/10 times.

Yeah, pretty much.

I helped Gideon and don't cha forget it.

And I thought Advent was the one who made the big pro-Maul argument, against Janus. Was there another?

well i think mace handels bane at leats 8/10 times if not more. And well for qui gon and kota, they at least take maul 6/10 times.

The world just got a little simpler.

Well since I always end up defending Maul because there are always those people who say Maul got put on his ass by Kenobi as Maul sucks. So it's natural I would of jumped in on the thread somewhere unless said case was made before my time here.

the fact that you defend maul makes you a good person already few ppl know the power of darth maul -.-

Not many have read Shadowhunter, Saboteur and the novelisation if Ep1 i'da thunk it.

i read 1 and 3. In Shadowhunter though, Maul spends most of the time getting it handed to him by various Padawans. His major feat of that book is the defeat of Anoon Bondara (whose actual place in the hiearchy is still very much open)

In The novelization, It puts Maul almost on an even playing field with Qui-Gonn, which is not selling Maul short, since i'm a huge fan of Jinn. However, that still leaves him a bit short of the highest tier.

Now, the downside to Maul in Epiisode 1 actually comes from the movie. Maul is initally almost disarmed by PADAWAN, ATARU-USING Kenobi. He recovers, still fails to win a saber battle, but eventually force-shoves Kenobi into a pit. (huge feat? I seem to remember Kenobi being a sucker to attacks through the force)

Then, PADAWAN kenobi, leaps out of the pit, grabs a lightsaber, and chops maul in half, all too quickly for Maul to respond.

THAT is why Episode 1 makes Maul look like a loser. And i'm a giant maul fan, i wish there was much more evidence making him look better, but i just haven't found anything that puts him on the highest tier of saber duelists.

yep.

I wasn't making a case either why I try and feign neutrality around here while vibroshivving people in the neck, Red for example, I digress Maul is one of those characters along with Jinn I wish had more content about them.

That's not my fault; he added me without telling me. It is telling that I didn't even know?

(Faunus's genitalia are tiny?)

(Is that even an insult?)

can you please give me the quote from TPM of maul's death?

Without it, we have to assume the same unnarrated thing happens to maul that happened to fisto, Saesee and Agen. Speed rush!
