Errr, that is nonsense. Just about every blow he made was an attempt to outdo Dooku. He was 100% offensive, the only reasonable thing he could be seeing his enforced style.

better than Maul on Tatooine? have we seen the same movie.
He ran off on Tatooine and he was winded after the short saber clash with Maul. To me it seemed that Maul just wanted to wear QGJ down in the Naboo fight.
Yes I have seen the same movie and I saw QGJ doing well- as Nick Gillard described was the idea. In fact, he said of the cut sequence where Maul is thrown off the ramp he that in that fight, QGJ gets the better of Maul.

yoda barely threw any blows though. he took like 2 swings then just flipped. speaking of that, i got that movie today, i rented it early...new rules are that we arent allowed to buy anything before the release date but we can still rent, i think ill watch that tonight
Yoda was really quick.......lots and lots of flips....Dooku was cool and calm....Vader was full of anger...yet powerful strikes....Obiwan(young) was fierce and energetic....Maul was crazy....hmm I like them all
DM just got lucky against QGJ.
I would've like to have seen how Anakin and Obi-wan would've stood up to DM together (had he lived and been in Dooku's place) at the end of AOTC.
I'm sure Yoda would've beaten DM easily.
Oooh, I would hesitate to say that Maul got lucky against QGJ. It was a good fight; could have gone either way. QGJ slipped up first.
Obi-Wan has playing conservative in AOTC- less flashy than TPM but more skilled.
I just posted this analysis in the DVD thread but I will repeat it here- I have been looking at the AOTC Dooku/Yoda fight in slo-mo.
Did a slo-mo analysis of all the sabre fights; very interesting to see Nick Gillard's skill at work. The Yoda fight, in particular, merited close analysis. Seems he makes a lot of good attacks that he has not the reach to capitalise on; Dooku makes good of this weakness by focusing on attacks that Yoda has to draw away from. But Yoda is too fast for Dooku to get an advantage and Yoda has very good positional skill- in all the clinches in which they converse, Yoda is in a better position. The ironic conclusion is that Dooku is actually very good on the move.
Oh, and his one-handed fighting style is joyful; even better in slo-mo when you can see what extra freedom it affords him.
However, that was actually C. Lee for far less time than I had thought.

I am not really "all for" Darth Maul because alot of people think he is a real bad ass but in Star Wars reality he isn't. What did he ever do that was so great, now I can see Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, or even Count Dooku. And what did Maul do? Lets see, apprentice to Darth Sidious, Revealed to the Jedi that the Sith were still in existence, and was killed by a Jedi padawan. So please somebody tell me why they think that maul is so great.
Ah.... So that is the reason why people like him so much. He still isn't cool to me but thats my opinion. Also I can tell you that Vader could kill either Dooku or Maul but if it was just saber skills and nothing more then they would have the advantage. But if the force was involved then of course it is no competition Vader would win. And between Maul and Dooku, Dooku would win for two reasons. One he is fully trained and very well skilled. And two, they were going for a more powerful villian in AOTC. Maul may have good moves but those moves also could be his weakness.
Maul was skilled as well but his arrogance got the upper hand , and the fact the way Obi beat him was really bad, it sucked big time. He could block all those blows but he couldnt handle a slow moving jedi flying through the air
In fact he more or less beat both Qui and Obi singled handed
Force power seems to have little to do with duels. I imagine QGJ to be the Force superior of Maul but that did not avail him. Sabre skill counts for a lot more; Vader would lose.
