Um, so? He's second only to Luke. Luke, the uber, OMG PWN3GE Luke. Jacen is his only peer in terms of Force Power, and he is supposedly and extremely good duelist. Maul got a good look at his bottom half after dueling a Padawan. Due to arrogance, yes, but he lost. He got hit in the face by Qui-Gn, a blow that knocked him several stories down. He got his saber chopped in half by Padawan Kenobi. Face it, he's going down, and hard.
And don't forget, there is a vast range of power and skill in your "2nd percentile." Even if he was in the best, oh, two hundred, there is a vast difference between the highest and lowest people in that percentile. Maul was a Sith Lord. I'd say he could beat the majority of the people in that percentile. And even if Jinn is up there, he's pretty low down.

No, he wasn't. He was a great swordsman in his prime, but as of TPM, he's far past that. Never was he remotely close to the best, not when you have Mace, Yoda, Dooku, etc.

No, you tell this to Nick Guillard and George Lucas...
Novelisations are nothing more than an author's take on the movies. None of them are canon, and statements like "Obi wan used all his skill to stay alive" or "Qui Gon Jinn was the best swordsman in the Order" are exaggerations with no proof.
Qui-gon is probably in the top ten out of ten thousand people. That beats second out of a group of fifty.
Kyp is a master, Qui-gon is a master. Maul beat a master and a padawon AFTER being ambushed by Sand People on Tatooine.
I think Kyp would win though. At least probably. He is good in melee, but Kyle comes close in saber skill. He has strong force skills, but Jacen can probably give him a hard time in a force fight.
I think that Kyp has become to much of a fighter pilot though and doesnt spend enough time in Jedi training. If he did more Jedi stuff, he would definatly beat Maul.

I know alot about darth maul he was smart enough to know that the jedi in tpm that he faced were skilled enough to block lightning thats why he didn't use it also darth maul was the most skilled with the force he was proggressing faster than sidiouse and took many jedi out before tpm
Maul has never shown the ability to use force lightning to my knowledge. Plus, he took out one Jedi before TMP. He was almost killed by a Padawon on two different occasions. And your now to the point of shouting out crap.

yes but he reached his peak probably before he reached 200 and stayed the same for ages and then started getting worse. plus it is completely different with other species and its not like kypt durron is ever gonna reach that age
yoda didn't get worse with age yes his peak was prbably reached hundresds of years ago and he was out of it but his master of the force and wisdom of it only got better in time.
