Which rivalry is more interesting?

From the two rivalries Anakin vs Dooku or Obi Wan vs Maul which one is more interesting?

Consider both story and background and fight dynamics as parameters for consideration.

Kenobi/Maul.

Interesting?

Dooku & Anakin.

Anakin always hated Dooku for killing jedi in AotC and cutting off his arm, but Dooku hated Anakin for more complicated reasons: he was scared of him and hated the possibility of Anakin growing to surpass him.

Kenobi/Maul was certainly the most pathetic and/or sad. Kenobi never really gave a shat, but Maul was obssessed over this dude because he took advantage of his overconfidence. Fast forward to TCW, and Maul still hasn't accepted that it was his own shitty attitude cockiness that led to his defeat, not Kenobi.

He obsessed over this till the end as it literally led to his death.

Now that you put it that way, it actually makes Maul vs. Kenobi seem pretty stupid.

I love the idea of Dooku being the Order's greatest prodigy in hundreds of years and spending 70+ years in fully mastering the Force, only to have Anakin come by and outstrip him in a few years.

I guarantee you it hurt Dooku's ego even in that TCW fight on Naboo when Anakin almost choked Dooku out on the ground.

Anakin Doooku for sure, both are more interesting characters than Maul/Kenobi too... in legends at least

Maul and Kenobi easily

Look at the good Count: He was the greatest Jedi of the last 900 years after Yoda, one of the most skilled duelists among trillions of beings who ever lived, worked his ass through his entire life, sought to learn Sith knowledge to enhance his already legendary powers and had a strict and disciplined lifestyle...and got stomped by a undisciplined, entitled, crying idiot in his early twenties.

Maul and Kenobi. Dooku is trash and a backup gf. He’s always been trash tier.

Never really saw either as much a rivalry tbh.

Also Dooku's death in the novelization - very bueno.
