Of course, Kenobi has already defeated these 2, but he was pushed to his very limits and he didn't exactly out-duel them. Tempest also claims that they weren't going for the kill in that fight, so theres that as well.

Anakin is quite the weak-link. I don't see him surviving very long against Opress.

Common sense like when a guy demands another guy's surrender and says he never planned on killing him... That he probably didn't want to kill him?

Nahhhhhh.

In the Force, No. In a pure Saber duel he can win (or at least do well). He gave Count Dooku a fair bit of trouble according to the novel.



Of course he outduelled them. What else did he do? He didn't exactly best them with Force TK.



Tempest isn't a canon source. When Dave Filoni says that they held back against Obi-Wan then I'll believe it. But considering Filoni gave an in depth interview on why/how Obi-Wan was able to do so well against the brothers and never once even hinted at Maul and Opress holding back, It's pretty unlikely that they were.

As for him "preferring" to take Kenobi alive (so he can torture the hell out of him) let's not pretend Maul would cry if he was forced to mortally wound or even kill Kenobi.

He was already taxed from facing both Kenobi and Anakin AND AND wasn't going for the kill as well.

Yoda WHEN he was trying to go for the kill (UNLIKE with Dooku) overpowed and disarmed SOMEBODY MUCH MORE POWERFUL than Dooku in Sids... The script and movie make this point clear. He got he better of Sids... That was a bloodlusted Yoda.. not the one that faced Dooku.. WORLD'S part.

Yoda.. not wanting to kill dooku WITH NO help at the same time making Dooku duck tail and flew?

Why do people keep saying Dooku STALEMATED Yoda.. He did no such thing.. He tucked tail and ran away from Yoda. Yoda wasn't trying to kill his former apprentice he was trying to capture him, which means, he was fighting differently than he might had he been bloodlusted.
