Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Vader blocks all blaster fire, while slashing and using the Force all in concert, that is not a weak showing. That's Vader multi-tasking.

It's clear by SW cannon that Dooku is Maul's superior. Maul has flashier attacks, but flashy attacks do not win alone. Dooku's also a superior duelist; not just in the Force compared to Maul, he doesn't rely of flash as much, but the skill-set is there. He matched Yoda in epII with sabers. Yoda > Maul.

Blocking blaster fire isn’t an elite skill in the Star Wars universe. We see Luke in ANH do so while extremely inexperienced and while blind. It isn’t an impressive showing since he did so against weaker foes. Those weren’t warriors those were scared rebels reacting to Vader. They prevented Vader from acquiring the disk. Comparing two elite Jedi or Sith to his movements in Rogue One and it isn’t much of a comparison. Vader pre suit showed more precision, quickness, and skill that makes the showing in Rogue One look pitiful by comparison.

No, Dooku threatened the lives of two downed opponents. That’s why he was able to flee from Yoda. He didn’t match him at all. He didn’t perish sure. But no one here including you believes he can best Yoda. Maul can’t either. Maul looked quite good against Sidious but again no one will say Dooku can beat Sidious either. Question is who wins out of Maul and Dooku. Maul based off his advantages being Dooku’s weaknesses.

Those were there Alderaan Honor Guard, they're professional guards. The fact they pretty much stood their ground and kept fighting despite knowing they were no match for Vader proves they're not pussified mooks.

Meant to say "nearly matched", as he held his own against Yoda for a bit. That's far superior to anything Maul's done. As is Dooku defeating Master Obi. It would be a great fight, but Dooku's experience, composure and superiority in the Force means Dooku > Maul more times out of 10.

So you believe those guys could stop which Jedi ? They were outclassed. There wasn’t any elite guy there like Jango Fett, Boba Fett, etc. They can’t stand before any highly trained Jedi or Sith. When I talk skilled opponents and show respect is for the Praetorian guard who can deal with someone of Vader’s caliber. These guys weren’t up to par and didn’t even cause doubt in the outcome but they did keep the disk from Vader.

Maul going toe to toe with Sidious is far better than Dooku using his powers to basically threaten his allies. He didn’t want to tangle with Yoda straight up for long. Maul has also gotten the better of Kenobi. Maul skill wise at his best took on Kenobi and his master simultaneously.

Nah, Maul would close the distance and eviscerate him much in the same vein as Anakin. Once you relentlessly pursue him give him no quarter you can defeat him. Anakin did so rather quickly too once Kenobi had shit the bed again.

Some of the weaker Jedi might have fallen under that much firepower, as we've seen them fall under less. Anyhow, the point was it's not a shit showing, doesn't matter if other Jedi or Sith could replicate it as well.

Maul had to separate Jinn and Kenobi first. Jinn isn't known as the greatest duelist and his 1v1 fight with a Padawan isn't a great showing, as Maul should have been able to end that fight in 1-2 hits considering. Then he was completely taken by surprise by said Padawan. Not a good showing for Maul; not even a little bit.

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on Dooku Vs Maul. But I believe in your heart you know Dooku is superior.

Anyhow, hoping Maul has a role in the future SW side films. Would love to see him face off against Kenobi or Vader.

I didn’t say it was shit I said it wasn’t impressive.

Yes, he did as did Dooku did with Kenobi and Anakin. Anakin fared better one on one. Kenobi was dealt with despite his rage over the loss of his master. Quit admitted Kenobi was better than him in the film. He was an apprentice and showed great skill/resolve.

Maul fought Kenobi later on in the clone wars. Anyone can be caught off guard. Yoda was caught off guard by Sidious despite a warning prior to. No, in my heart I know Maul wins. Dooku is lacking in the areas he’s strongest. Sidious also chose Maul then Vader not Dooku who was a placeholder. The placeholder can’t beat a starter. Sidious knows.

5 or 6 clones were able to over power master Jedi during order 66. Vader overpowered like 20 with minimal effort. Suit Vader is stronger than most Jedi masters

The Jedi were going to battle by their side so the confusion and betrayal caught the majority off guard. Isn’t the same thing as your opponents all right in front of you who are vastly inferior to clones to begin with going down. Vader failed to acquire the disk by the way.

😂

Apparently an actual scene from the movie:

Lando to droid: Need anything while I'm gone?
Droid: equal rights

Yeaaah, pass.

Shut up, Surtur. You’re a joke.

"They don't serve my kind in there"

lol. Actual quote from a droid.

So? Only someone so into identity politics would try to steer the conversation into that. You have real issues.

Meanwhile you make entire threads to post videos you think feed into your bullshit narratives about Marvel. I'd suggest moving on from running your mouth about anyone, it never ends well for you.

I thought the droid being an sjw was a joke makingbfun of them? You're not suppose to take it seriously

About the whole argument regarding powers and abilities: I throw the CGI show completely out the window and stick only with the movies.

The droid is intentionally grating. She's basically a parody of a feminist rather then one to be taken seriously.

Mcu is universally loved above your ridiculous politics. You’re an insecure loser. You’ll always be an insecure loser.

It's possible the droid is legit, the writers were serious, but it ends up being so stupid in execution that it appears to be a parody or satire. Poe's Law.

Surtur is triggered by women since they won’t give him the time of day.

I find it hard to believe that she's suppose to be taken seriously based on how lando and co. React to her and how she behaves on the heist
