ROTJ Darth Vader vs Darth Maul and Savage Opress

Setting: Death Star (Force Unleashed 1)
Status: Bloodlusted
Restrictions: Maul uses one saber unless Opress goes down first

I'm interested in what people think of Darth Vader's strength after the prequels. How does he fare against the Maul Brothers?

Vader can win via his far far superior Force powers.

But I'd give the majority to the Brothers. They will just overwhelm him in Sabers.

Maul alone is superior to Vader in a pure Saber match Imho.

I agree the brothers win. HOWEVER--I think Vader vs Maul in sabers is practically even.

I don't think his force powers are that superior to Maul's honestly. Maul has tooled Kenobi, ripped shuttles from their landed position.

I doubt it. Vader~Old Kenobi>Maul imo

Vader is vastly superior to either of the brothers with the force, as he force-choked Xizor from halfway across the galaxy.

The bros tool him in sabers, though.

They're too quick for him in a duel, but he stomps them with the force.

I thought it was a pretty agreed up on thing that Old Ben was no where near the duelist that ROTS Kenobi was.

I personally don't see Vader doing as well against Sidious in Sabers as Maul did. Even if you had Opress aiding Vader I just can't see Vader holding his own for very long. But that's just me.

Probably vastly superior to both together. It wouldn't surprise me if Vader's TK rivals Sidious's.

OT Vader's TK was honestly god-like.

Only way ROTJ Vader will win is by using force choke or something similiar. Otherwise Team overwhelms him imo.

Fair point...and it very well may rival Sidious' with that 80% statement.

George Lucas himself

Anyone got a link, interview, anything?

I can vouch for GL saying it.

I can vouch for the opposite though.

Apparently it's from the Empire of Dreams documentary from the Anakin "behind the scenes" section.

It's a quote that's known on pretty much any and every SW discussion sites. So I highly doubt it was made up.

Silver2467, the Star Wars scholar who kicked Nephthys's ass almost as effortlessly as I do, has scoured the web for a source and can't find it.

I've used the quote myself since time immemorial, but can't provide the source either. It may very well be fabricated.

I've watched "Empire of Dreams" and that quote isn't in it.

In fact it was quite clear a few minutes in that it wouldn't be there as the documentary had nothing to do with the actual story just the production of the SW Trilogy.

So looks like it really might be made up.

Yep. Just like the Qui-Gon=Mace stuff.

No I am almost certain it is in the ROTS commentary or the bonus disk. In fact I'd be willing to bet my bottom dollar it's there.
