Asajj Ventress vs Darth Maul

Maul has his double bladed light saber and Ventress has her dual light sabers.

They fight on Lothal.

Maul

Definitely Maul.

Ventress was closer to Opress level.

I think it's close either way.

Ventress in a difficult match

Ventress bested Grievous in a duel while Grievous appeared to have the upper hand against Maul.

While not enough to say Ventress wins it's something to consider.

Ventress was empowered by the Dark Side of Dathomir, so it's an invalid feat.

Filoni stated it was a legit feat.

But then canon authors have ignored dark side nexus amps for the most part

Aside from Mortis, have "nexus amps" even been mentioned or used in canon at all?

I call BS on that. The entire clan of Night Sisters were taken down by imbacile droids on their own planet.

Dont think so. Places strong in the dark side exist, but nothing about them amping a darksider. More to do with it being easier to give in to your rage.

Although I suppose its logical to put 2 and 2 together, writers/directors seem to have ignored that amping them. Like Filonis commentary in the case of Ventress vs Grievous. Although Ventress did bring Vos to Dathomir to help him embrace the dark side in Dark Disciple IIRC.

That's no different, though. If a dark sider, who draws strength from passion, is exposed to something that triggers his/her rage, then it follows that they will become stronger. It's a similar principle to the enhancing element of Bane's orbalisk armor.

Like I said, its logical. But writers/directors have pretty much ignored that in canon, as far as im aware.

And no specific quotes like was described for Dooku on Vjun in Dark Rendezvous.

Maul should win

Maul wins

Like for example I'm pretty sure Ahch-To was powerful with the Force, so does that mean it was amping Luke??

yes

But why? Canon hasn't put any emphasis on any "nexuses" amping force users at all,, aside from Mortis (which was a UNIVERSAL nexus so that made sense.)

Almost seems like it should be looked at on a case by case basis where canon is concerned. Like, if the text mentions them drawing on the power of the "nexus" or whatever, then obviously they were using its power. But it doesn't seem like the intent is that they are automatically amped just by stepping foot on a nexus imo.
