Quality read. 👆

I disagree that they were more effective in RotS though. As seen when Dooku pulls Kenobi's saber up to block Anakin, they're still not posing a significant thread and are tripping over each other.

How about I say this. I do have one. I've posted it here in this thread. I'm not going to bother reposting it simply because you're too lazy to bother scanning the last page to find it. Savvy?

Except that Ventress has far greater potential which is why she was actually made one of Dooku's acolytes. Not only one of his acolytes but his strongest acolyte who could use the Force.

That's certainly a possibility. But if so it wouldn't have been solely for that reason. Obi Wan is himself a skilled martial artist by this point capable of capitalizing on an opponent's openings and Maul had just shown he was a clearly superior lightsaber combatant at this time which would have made him overeager. I'm sure I don't have to tell you about Maul's overconfidence often coming into play to his own detriment during fights.

Ditto.

I know this was a joke, but if anyone on this forum is ever feeling lonely, depressed, afraid, shameful, or self-loathing, feel free to shoot me a PM, and I'll listen to everything you have to say without mocking or condescending, or sharing shit with other people you don't want me to share, and to the best of my ability provide comfort and advice.

When it comes to life, this quest for improvement, for meaning, for love, we're all in this together, and we give each other's lives meaning. It would be an honor to help someone be a happier person.

See Beni? It's not all bad. You can find solace at your defeat in the bosom of LSDMB. 🙂

Concession accept yeah.

You said that already.

Kenobi's skill isn't in question here, its Maul's sloppy footwork, and it was sloppy, you'd have to be a retard not to notice that. With a Force nudge he was spent spinning, and then he Kenobi just rolled over him as he made a staggering attempt to hit back. The rest of your point is just more lame excuses. The common sense approach is outlined at the beginning of the episode.

Ditto.
You furst.

And leave you here alone to contemplate your own failings? I'm not that cruel. 🙂

#Learn2grammah.

Yes. You seem to be unaware of this fact.

With a force push of indeterminate strength* And yes I imagine a balanced and acrobatic master like Obi Wan would be able to dodge a blow from a staggered Maul.

No u.

I don't share your delusions Beni so I think I'd be alright. 😉

I'm off. Keep flapping your gums if you want.

No I actually responded, then you replied by reiterating the same thing.

Actually it was explicitly casual. And again this isn't about Kenobi's skills.

No u.

U have less to live for.

The depression will kick in soon, hard and ugly. 👆

If not me for your fellow man.

No, I pointed out that your comparison was flawed when Ventress clearly has far greater power.

And we still don't know how powerful it was.

That's true but I'm saying my 69th attempt for a special occasion. 😉

It already has. 👆

Me 2. 🙂

Ventress would an hero if she saw this attempt at an argument.

Ahsoka would vomit if she knew the kind of fans she had. 🙂

Ashley and me are buds. Gtfo.

I personally don't see a huge difference between the two. Time travel TCW Obi-Wan back in time to TPM and you'll still have a great fight. Time travel Savage back in time and he'll still be disarmed with a pressure point before long.

👆

And good point about Maul losing Midi-Chlorians. Obviously when Vader's potential went down from at least double that of Palpatine's to somewhere around Palpatine level, then it would drastically effect Maul's Force potential as well.

So any increase in power from his Rage, would first have to compensate for his loss of Force potential before he grows more powerful than his TPM self. And that's after he's back at peak form in terms of his combat skill.

Filoni confirms TCW Maul is more powerful then he's ever been.

And he will. Emp is a miracle worker. You can tell by his closeness to God.

Quote?

Link?

ILS has it.

We have a quote saying that S4 Maul is "restored to his former power" which means TPM while S5 Maul grows more powerful and surpasses that.

Nah that's just dumb shit. 🙂

I know there's quotes in Legends but there's no quote by Filoni that I'm aware of.

I doubt it.
