Laughing =/= Toying

I think we need to make this clear, otherwise some people are presenting wrong things in debates.

First of all, as you all know, Sidious was laughing to Yoda.

Though Maul could blitz Vizsla or stomp him with the force, but clearly he was trying to beat him fair and square in only physical contest and he wanted prove his physical skills against his mandalorian weaponry, otherwise Death Watch wouldn't join him.

Sidious utterly trashing Maul.

If Sidious can ragdoll Dooku, he can do the same to Maul...

Probably because Dooku>Maul

How do you know he can?

Well it helps that he already did so...

^ I dunno about these Ragdolling instances proving clear superiority anymore. Not after Kanan froze and pinned the Inquisitor to the ceiling. He froze him mid-Saber strike as well, much like what Yoda did to Ventress.

Clearly if you catch someone off-guard with Tk, you instantly have a good chance of overpowering them with Tk.

He didn't ragdoll him in a decent fight, he choked him while he was off guard. Dooku can give him at least a decent fight.

Laughing indicates confidence. Nothing more, nothing less.

This is the funniest thing I've ever read in my life, bravo sir, you've made me die of laughter.

Don't you mean of growling?

Whether he growled or laughed (he actually does both), Maul was clearly having fun fighting Vizsla. That doesn't mean he was physically holding back or not trying.

And nice job Marco spotting Maul laughing while dueling Kenobi. I never noticed that one. He also smiles a lot in that fight (in the 1 vs 1 at least).

Maul => Dooku => Vader >>>>> Non-canon Revan (sorry)

That chain gave Ray Park Ebola.

Thanks bro, it seems like he is enjoying himself (sarcasm) right ?

Ahsoka can ragdoll Ventress!!! 1:23

^ Ventress is also laughing there while fighting the 2 of them together, even though she struggled enough against just Luminara.
