First I meant to say TPM maul.. but had AOTC in my head. There is no way he blitz maul or kenobi the way he did the Jedi. Maul woudl last longer and has lasted longer. Kenobi is as the master of defense and giving ground.. no way he gets blitzed so quickly. In a strict saber duel the team should win.. The rest goes to sids imo.
not really... as I'm only talking about Sabers... Sids owned maul via the force once he got serious. Sabers not so much. Lucas wasn't talking about just sabers.. it was a broad sweeping statement just wasn't talking about sabers. If you have a quote from him that I haven't seen saying only Yoda and Mace can compete with him in sabers.. post it. If not that quote is related to what I'm saying. Dooku.. Maul and Kenobi would beat Sids in a stricly sabers duel
Not really... the second Maul actually landed a hit on Sidious and Sidious was visibly angered, he ended the duel in the very next move, physically overpowering and disarming Maul... Lucas issued that declaration in response to the so-called B-team's inability to threaten Palpatine... and the B-team only used their lightsabers and not the Force at all... it clearly refers to any medium of Jedi/Sith combat... Obi-Wan and Maul are fodder for a Sidious who is taking the fight seriously... he's better: stronger, smarter, faster, more skilled, more agile... they can't stop him... and no way will Dooku be able to kill his Master in the 3 seconds it takes Sidious to flatten Maul and Obi-Wan... Sidious wins all three...
