Think they were trying to draw a lot of parallels with TPM. The way Maul dies is like Qui-Gon's, and it seems like he was trying to do the move that dispatched Qui-Gon on Obi-Wan.

Even barring FPJ's explanation it's pretty obvious from the visual and auditory cues that Kanan was at peak performance and likely in a state of oneness or something similar, plus the fact Maul was evidently extremely overconfident, but I don't see why we should disregard FPJ's statements on Maul vs Kanan regardless.

Embarassed by a half trained Jedi and blitzed by Uncle Ben.

Sad.

Marco/Erkan is having a mental breakdown

Carthage. Do you think Erkan is really going to argue Maul had a heart attack mid duel?

I think we can all agree that Maul is now a 6.

SunRazer Back From The Dead

Maul's a 5. 🙂

Wasn't there a quote saying Maul didn't decrease in skill at all?

SunRazer Back From The Dead

There was one saying he studied Sith lore in the time between RotS and Rebels.

Well that just sucks for Ahsoka

SunRazer Back From The Dead

There's a quote from Witwer saying that Maul's past his prime.

Nephthys The Gr8est!!!!!!!!

Yeah, no shit.

DarthDuelist9 Senior Member

Sure, that's what the episode also confirmed to be honest, he's old and has nothing to fight for or... He still stalemated Ahsoka in TotA

Not sure if the developers actually adhere to a rigid structure to begin with. Apart from essentials like Vader and Palpatine being at the top, it's disturbingly inconsistent. I suppose in Canon Jedi and Sith are privy to random amps for varying reasons.

DarthDuelist9 Senior Member

Yeah, especially Filoni & co just do what's best for the story and probably don't even care about any kind of ranking

The whole fight makes me reinterpret the duel in ANH, it's very clear that he stonewalled Vader and was a peer. He very well could've lost only to stamina, but yeah Ben ****ing destroyed h

I always knew that quote about Dooku being a second rate Jedi along the likes of Bastilla had been accurate.

Luke being threatened would be a motivator

Pretty sure that quote also included Kenobi.
