If I may...
Well, that dicussion about potential might be irrelevant. I actually agree with this, since Lucas is the best person to judge that. Anyway, there are at least two major factors, even with assumption that loosing limbs and having injured, crippled body degrades your potential:
1. That kind of degradation might affects some people in defferent ways; you might be broken by it, you might accept it and try to move on or it might increase your anger and hate;
2. Maul was restored by Talzin, which might imply that points:
- Maul's potential could be restored to his prievous level;
- Maul's current potential could be increased to some degree;
- Maul could be enhanced and be even stronger then he was (just like Savage was);
lol its not like Maul lost to the “dog”
Maul also just got new legs put on in that same episode (again). Was still in recovery from being cleaved (as per Filoni).
We see Maul in Rebels take out Zeb, Hera and Sabine in like a few seconds. No sweat at all. Pretty sure Zeb is bigger than a dog lmao
So whats with the Maul shit talk?
These legs were human-like though, not 'chicken legs.' So he really should know how they work... This is just a terrible excuse, tbh.
He was still in recovery from being cleaved in half? How many years has it been? Anyway, what is meant by 'still in recovery'? Post the quote.
He takes them out with the force. I was making fun of Maul being outmuscled by a dog.
I like Maul shit talk.
