Originally posted by DarthAnt66He thinks she's one of the top-dog fighters, but I wonder if that's more due to his observations on her abilities or if Dave wanks her to those levels. If she does very well against Vader that could probably explain why he thinks that, because he obviously has a very high opinion of him as well.
While I don't think it's remotely likely, I would love to see a brutal Vader vs Maul fight.If Maul was in peak condition, I see no reason why FPJ would say that Maul would lose to Ahsoka then, tbh.
Yeah. But as I remember, there was a statement, that sadi that Vader after Mustafar is more like Dooku and Maul, just Palpatine's servant or smth like that?
Anyway, if they will show Vader as clearly inferior to Sidious, then Maul's performance against Vader wont be much of a proof for his eventual superiority over Dooku.
Wasn't Filoni the one, that said something similar at the beggining of creating "Rebels"?
Anyway, the difference between them is more similar then their positions on the actual list.
Palpatine might be top1, Vader top2 and Dooku or Maul top3. But still, Vader might be marginally above Dooku or Maul, and Sidious might be far superior to Vader. In that scenario Maul's performance against Vader wont be that important.
But if Vader is nearly Palpatine's equal, then Mauls performance against him will be a very important thing.
