What does that have to do with Ahsoka and Mauls potential?

The point is maul killing Anakin wasn't a long term plan. He was planning to do it then and there.

It gets funnier every time I think about it.

Maul's head is so far up his own ass that he legitimately thought he could kill Anakin without a problem... What a gas.

Yeah, and it was the rocket(which Mace was obviously unprepared for) that KO'd him.

No conclusions can be drawn from that 'fight', but Maul diving in head first against an opponent who is undoubtedly above him doesn't surprise me... Especially given Filoni's statement that he tends to be an overconfident dipshit in battle scenarios.

I think his overconfident weakness kicks in when he feels his opponent is beneath him.

I dont think he would get too cocky against Anakin. At least not going by Mauls line regarding facing Vader alone in Rebels.

No, I think what thor is saying is that by using external help, he was able to ko them, in spite, of being outclassed by Mace.

So, using similar logic, in his home world, he could use his army to a similar effect vs anakin/kenobi.

Yeah, I know.

But that assumes Maul wouldn't f*ck it up... Which he almost always does:

I would also think that if Anakin AND Kenobi went to Mandalore, they'd bring a considerable number of troops with them -- far more, at least, than the fraction of the 501st+Mandalorian rebels that Ahsoka had. /shrug

Of course hed f*** it up lol

Point is his plan wasnt completely unreasonable on paper. Heck Dooku thought he could still handle Skywalker and Kenobi pretty much alone.

As for the 501st, thats why he lead her into the cave, giving the impression he was hiding alone. But where he gave Ahsoka time to call for back up, im presuming he wouldnt have given Skywalker and Kenobi that opportunity.
