It's funny how hypocritical you guys are being to meet your own end, less then a year ago, Lucas' say didn't matter when it came to stuff like Sidious and such.
Yet now, when Lucas is like "Naw, Sidious threw the fight", everyone is quick to jump at the chance to use this as canon and act like it's law.
Originally posted by FreshestSliceIt doesn't matter what your "opinion" is, you can't just say "Hey, Lucas' word is canon now" because you feel like it would benefit your argument.
People's opinions can change in less than an hour let alone a year.
Either it's canon, or it isn't.
You can't have one thing be canon and everything else not be canon, thats not how canonicity works.
So, either everything Lucas said is canon, or everything he says isn't canon.
Originally posted by NephthysGrievous reached those numbers though and his strikes were met with Obi-wan's saber so it only makes sense to assume that he strikes almost as much as he did since sometimes Obi-wan countered more than one blade at once. Even if we say Obi is the half of Grievous, it would make 10 strikes a second which is still too fast for visual medium which was my point in the first place.
Obi-Wan is specifically said to not be matching Grievous' speed in that duel.

Originally posted by Darth ThorYou are free to feel that way but the Clone Wars episodes where Sidious calls him a rival and the son of dathomir say otherwise.
Deal with it.Obi-Wan's a bigger threat to Sidious than Maul.
Always was, always will be.
Even as a Force Ghost.
His force ghost did nothing to stop Sidious from torturing Luke. Lucky for him Vader turned yet again.

"His blade wove an intricate web of angles and curves, never truly fast but always just fast enough, each motion of his lightsaber subtly interfering with three or four or eight of the general's strikes, the rest sizzling past him, his precise, minimal shifts of weight and stance slipping them by centimeters."
This is an argument I don't want to go into atm but you seem to be having problem with the context of my original argument yet again 😄
The force users are too fast to be depicted without making them appear slower in the movies/tv shows etc. Do you disagree with that? If not, not much to discuss here.

The Clone Wars episodes say Kenobi's not a rival?
Palatine specifically tries to get Anakin to not save Kenobi in ROTS.
He then tells him after he turns that every single Jedi is now an enemy "that includes your friend Obi-Wan Kenobi".
Palpatine clearly wanted Kenobi dead. He never bothered killing Maul.
Originally posted by Darth ThorThe episode and the comics further validate my claims Maul is a rival. I have the character saying as much.

You have a coincidence. At no point does Sheev act like Kenobi's a rival but instead wants to merely capitalize on leaving Kenobi for dead.
He wanted all the Jedi who opposed him dead but didn't consider them rivals. That's absurd.

Rival : a person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field of activity.
Yes, Maul is a rival, just not a very good one. Clearly the Jedi are not rivals, they aren't trying to become the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Sidious is superior to Maul at that point which I have never denied despite Maul being my favorite Star Wars character. I'm objective to a fault.
