If Maul wants to end it quickly with the Force he certainly can i just don't think he would
Yes Maul was generally more of a bad ass melee fighter. But you have to remember we only saw him fight Jedi in TPM. We didn't see him fight non-force users wielding guns.
Also his finishing move on Obi-Wan was a Force push anyway. Easier to use against 1 Jedi than against 2. Even easier to use against a Jedi Padawan than a Jedi Master. And easier still to use against a Non-Force user.
P.s. I know the OP says only movie versions But In the SW Clone wars season 5 previews he invades a ship and takes out some pirates and droids immediately with the force.
(The show is created by Lucas so canon to the movies and Lucas's vision).
Edit- In fact the first episode was even released on the big screen as a Star Wars animated movie believe it or not! So it should count.
