Not only was Maul resisting Palpatine's lightning without any "superconducting loop"( 🙄 ) but he simultaneously pinned him to the wall and kept him there. You can plainly see that Palpatine couldn't simply overpower Maul's grip and had to resort to crashing that chandelier.
Not even Yoda did something like that.
And if you're referring to Mace's feat from the 2003 cartoon then 😂 😂 😂 .

What makes you think Palpatine wasn't paying attention? He was actively blasting him with lightning, FFS.Not only was Maul resisting Palpatine's lightning without any "superconducting loop"( 🙄 ) but he simultaneously pinned him to the wall and kept him there.

Why isn't the 2003 cartoon fair game? You're using a deleted scene

Let me try that logic: Maul being on the full defensive blocking Palpatine's lightning means he's not focusing on his offensive capabilities. Ergo his feat is even more impressive, since he just casually ragdolled Palpatine with just 1% of his attention, while the other 99% was focused on maintaining his defense.
How do you like them apples?
And nice comparison. Because being blindsided from behind by someone you trust - while you're attacking someone else - is the same as being attacked from the front. By your opponent. In the heat of battle.🙄

By all means, cling to that feat if you want. But wake me up when Mace uses the Force in any way against another Force user.
Maul overpowered Kenobi with the Force at least twice, something only Dooku was ever shown to do, and which Anakin failed to do on Mustafar. What has Mace ever done?
Has Mace showed even one single instance of using the Force against another Force user? Even something as simple as a push?

Apparently not fully.
People still can't understand that force pushes or ragdolls mean precisely jack shit in canon. There is no "overpowering" involved, just catching your opponent off guard with a force based attack.
Deleted scenes aren't canon until specifically canonised.

"So the deleted scene on the Blu Ray may not be what canonically happened?"
Hidalgo: "Nope."
Sorry to shit on your parade, Unbowed.
