I was curious since long time, why Maul attacked Kanan and Ahsoka. He was aware of Vader's presence, and even if he would killed them both, still, he would be unable to stop Vader from taking holocron/killing Ezra. He screwed that. He should let them to take Vader, and then he could try to take Ezra/use that holocron againt them all.
So my answer is, that he would be killed by Vader short after, or he would run and possibly lost thr rest of his faith for his revenge.
His plan was to use the Sith Temple WMD against the Empire. Ezra he just stumbled across and thought would make him a good apprentice, in case his plan fails and just to have a potentially powerful apprentice.
He tried to kill Kanan and Ahsoka so it would be easier to take Ezra away. He had no intention of facing Vader alone and dying though.
Originally posted by Darth ThorSo you believe he wanted to take the least of the three to take out Vader but you hypocorically says he's so above him. How can that be true since Ezra is so lower tier ? Do you ever think of the mental gymnastics you seek to use before you actually do it.

Ezra would be enraged and he would seek out Maul to kill him against the wishes of the Ghost crew. When he finds Maul, they'll duel and Maul will defeat him, subdue him and force him to turn to the dark side by using his anger towards him, etc.
Eventually, Sidious would find out Maul acquired a new apprentice and would send Vader to hunt them down until he finds and kills them. With an Ezra fully submerged in the dark side and trained ferociously by Maul, the pair would manage to defeat Vader and severely injure/kill him.
After this, Sidious would choose to take matters into his own hands, track them down and kill them, ending the 'threat'.

He survived with a lot less than Palpatine. In th manner in which Palpatone was killed was pretty idiotic considering the power Palpatine held in his grasp. He left it all to chance to recruit Luke. What a schmuck.
Palpatine is a goddamn genius mastermind and Maul doesn't compare in any way. 😬
Originally posted by PetrusHe most certainly does. Palpatine was saved (by Anakin against Windu) and in the right position to orchestrate this. Maul with his brother amassed enough power to challenge Sidious. Palpatine was an unknown dark lord and had the Jedi murderd with his underling and thousands of clone troopers.

Maul survived his fall despite being cut in half did Sidious survive his fall ?

And Maul along with Savage were outdueled by TCW Kenobi in the right situation, something that would never happen to Sidious. Also, Sidious bested both in combat 2v1 and he wasn't even being pushed that hard... Sidious decimated the B-Team [Fisto is considered almost Kenobi level] and was only defeated by Windu due to his Vaapad and Shatterpoint advantages. And chances are he wouldn't perform as well against him again. Either way, Windu > Maul so I don't see your point.

lel, they didn't amass nearly enough power [in terms of anything] to actually challenge Sidious. They were beginning to have a respectable power base and feared followers, even enough that they indeed attracted his attention. Attracting his attention, however, doesn't mean they were already on Sidious' level. And nothing actually indicates as much, considering he had the whole Republic and CIS armies under his grasp.
Palpatine murdering thousands of Jedi via Vader and Clones means very little in regards to his power and skill.
Originally posted by PetrusMaul was never out dueled by Kenobi. Maul met every strike with a parry and strike of his own. His brother became a liability when he was injured so Maul force pushed him out of the area. This wasn't the first time Maul used a force push at a critical time to gain an advantage. Sidious has more force power than either of them so of course that wouldn't occur to him. A superior force knowledge/power doesn't necessarily mean he can use his get out of jail free card when against similarly powered individuals. We see him beaten by Windu. That didn't happen to Maul. We also see him try to flee a fair fight against a peer in Yoda after just one force push.

Sidious classified as him a rival so in a relatively short time Maul without the benefit of acting in secret as a senator no less. Pretty exceptional feat for Maul.
It means he had a massive army so it was easier for him to achieve his goals. The Jedi were a bunch of dopes save Windu. What Mauk achieved he did with he and his brother alone. He did it through determination and sheer will unlike Palpatine who manipulates his enemies under a false guise. That's a lot easier and he had decades to achieve his power.
