He is literally the fruit of all of Darth Bane's sith lineage over 1000 years of evolution, study, knowledge and power. The fact that it has to be OP is realistic and justified

​​@@andreademarchi7495've noticed Maul overpowerd Ahsoka and Obi Wan in there fights alot he holds back alot..and likes to toy or torture weaker opponents instead of killing them..because that's not fun to him..Fans who don't see this just say oh he must be weak then ...noo he was a op dark user that bullied his food...that's how I see it lol.Palpatine didn't send Dooku to defeat and capture Maul for a reason..it takes SS class fighters like himself to actually beat him in a real force and Saber duel purely on skill.. Unlike his fight with Ahsoka and Obi Wan those two had to use there environment to win at times without there battle iq in the right place they are finish and if Maul was not cocky they would be finished 99 percent of the time.There is also a deleted scene with Maul force griping and slaming Palps to a wall...so that just tells me how powerful Faloni and Lucas thought he was at that time lol.

Not slowly, the entire community overrates Maul too much.

​@soularprimestudios5930 well he defeated jedi qui gon jinn and his movements are impressive and fast

Yeah he’s highly underestimated but is arrogant which can always be his downfall.

He literally lost a huge chunk of his potential in the force,but he still surpassed what he was in EP1

@@newhybrid101 Did he ever recover his physical strength? I have a feeling he never did leg day after ep one

This is why is wish Lucas hadn’t written him to be cut in half. Seriously wounded? YES, so that he would return again and again. I really disliked what Filoni did by killing him off. I wasn’t a fan of the animations because it just didn’t look or feel right. Filoni chewed up a lot of Maul’s ‘screen time’ that the comic books handled better. The biggest tragedy was Disney buying the franchise and shafting Lucas, the fans...and Ray Park as Maul! This video, itself, serves as a far note exciting story line then what Filoni gave us.

He was highly acrobatic and far more aggressive when he had his legs, of course he never lost his aggression but I think he lost some of his speed and definitely acrobatics.

@@Posttrip Lucas didn't write the prequels knowing somebody was going to retcon events years after the fact. For all intents and purposes, TCW actually destroyed the hype Obi-Wan got from defeating Maul in TPM. Maul was supposed to die in the movie and never be seen or heard from again.

kenobi has a bad habit of not aiming for the neck

by cutting them in half to reduce their potential but not totally killing them to rub salt into the wound😂

@@glooppszr9991 he also has a bad habit of being around when people are set on fire.. we all saw him do it to anakin, but uncle owen and aunt beru were killed by "stormtroopers" MHMM 😂

​@@august6281 that only made them stronger to the dark side, they didnt lose potential

Don’t forget Darth Krayt😂

When Sidious came after Maul and Savage, Maul was *scared*. That could've been the difference in their fight.

It's stupid that sidious saw dooku as just a tool dooku hie potential was so high they thought he was the chosen one lol

@@kianvanderbeke6895 Remember that Palpatine also saw the actual chosen one, Anakin, as just a tool. So...

@@uncahay treu fair enough

His overconfidence and taunting obi one is what got him chopped in half in that fight, his fear is what cost him his brother in the fight with sidious. I always liked maul because he was a great warrior, but in clone wars and rebels i saw just how truly brilliant he actually was, in terms of intellect and manipulation but also strategic planning like sidious

your right thats sad and terrifying at the same time

It’s more of a night sister thing

​​@@cdwarrior6582 I'm sure the men can use it too, they just have a different culture. Maul could've used it if taught, I'm sure.

Palpatine did consider Maul as a loss. In a conversation with Vader he said Dooku was just a tool while Maul was a loss.

​@@danielheiger8967In Canon not Legends Maul had higher potential then Dooku which is why Mauls defeat on Naboo was considered a loss because Sids planned for Maul prior to the defeat alive or dead to one day be his successor while Dooku was working with Sidious even before Maul got beat up badly he was not a apprentice until Mauls big failure and then since Anakin was in the picture shortly after and Dooku being too old anyways older then Sidious and lacking a long lifespan was going to be replaced possibly with Anakin in thirteen years anyways yeah.

Could’ve also surpassed sidious and been on par with Vader

He used some night sister magic

I loved that book it was great

If you like Maul, go read his Legends Book. They do him far more justice than these silly kid shows. Lockdown in particular is a very cool story.

Already read it, Shadow Hunter, Darth Plagueis, and the Phantom Menace novelization, as well as every comic I could find with him. Working on his 2017 comic right now.

There’s also a fan film about him that’s set just before TPM which imo makes Maul look even more cool.

@@potatoproductions1246 oh yes! They did an absolutely banger job with it. Legit slays.

And remember george Lucas said he was supposed to be the villain for episode 8-9 he wasn't supposed to die smh disney messed that up

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZ9lqpqEm5nDloU.html Great video on Darth Maul

Nah wtf not no sidous he could maybe reach about revenge of the sith obi wan

@@giovanniciccone1323 Did I stutter yes Sidious, he was already stronger than Kenobi, Kenobi wasn't very gifted in the force, so he had to train a lot.

He definitely could’ve rivalled Sidious for sure. Not sure Maul would ever be quite as powerful in the force as Sidious but his physical strength and athleticism as well as his ability to tap into dathomirian magic would’ve even a lot of the odds. Maul probably could’ve killed Sidious off as his body started to get older and weaker.

Yes

What? George Lucas didn’t know what he was doing because someone else (Filoni) revived his character a decade later for a kids show? Failing to follow the logic here

@@lawrencetalbot8346 I think he’s implying that George shouldn’t have killed off Maul in Episode 1 given the potential the character had as an antagonist

I agree, but George couldn’t have known that Maul would become an infamous Sith villain years after TPM and through other media like books and comics so I forgive him. I think it would be incredibly difficult to please all the fans out there and George laid out the groundwork for some very epic stories.

@@lawrencetalbot8346 There is no "logic" to be followed here, simply my view on Maul as a whole. George himself has said that he regrets killing Maul in TPM because of what he could have done with him. So much so he was planning on reviving him for his sequel trilogy. And that Filoni crap is out the window since years before he was originally going to revive him as Grievous in Ep. 3. Filoni simply did what he already wanted to do before. Why is everything an argument with SW fans? You don't agree just read and move on dude.

I'd wonder if you'd say that still if you saw his original design.

Work on that grammar, kiddo.

Pretty amazing how Sideous and Vader {Legends} both managed to acquire an apprentice with vaguely Sideous-tier potential.

​@@priestesslucy3299Galen was flat out >= Sidious in potential

actually suit vader was quite weak because of the suit. the emperor feared vaders power so had the suit designed to hold vader back. yes it kept him alive but it also didn't help him be powerful.

​@@trevorbanbury6894suit vader was not weak at all... The suit was designed to be slow and painful but that pain made vader stronger in the dark side. There is a reason why it had to be luke to fight vader in yodas and obi wans eyes.

Even when he got jumped he held his own. Obi wan beat him alone, as a Padawan. Maybe maul was overconfident like Anakin/Vader was

When you go looking for trouble, you should be prepared when for its arrival

@@billytee8052 he just to over cocky siths pumped his head up too much

Because 1. Maul thanks to Dathomirian Magics Maul got his head, anatomy, soul, and potential back plus a power boost a good deal more powerful then his TPM self and was still growing. 2. Had the aid of Savage another ultra high potentialed individual possibly either near Maul, at Maul, or slightly above Maul level. 3. Had Talzin backing him. 4. Got the entire planet of Mandolorians or most of them under his command. Yeah.

I'm fairly certain the midichlorian "count" is a measure of midichlorian density. The same way white blood cell count is the density. That being said, a count of 1500/ml with only half the amount of blood is still less than 900/ml with twice the amount of blood. 😊

Savage's lack of intelligence and ability to control his aggression made him consistently sloppy and unreliable. Maul's inability to recognize that flaw is what ultimately got Savage killed. He had to learn from experience why Sith were super choosy in picking apprentices instead of just picking the first random person they crossed paths with.

I don't think he would be stronger than Dooku, Dooku is a way better Duelist and can use more Force Abilities, but yeah Maul's potential is incredible.

​@@marceloaugusto9787 even in the force the potential for dooku was already max. Its a reason dooku was second choice as an apprentice vs maul being the first. His bloodline alone made his abilities naturally in the force quite impressive. being sidious taught him no force abilities lol. To make a comparison in what he could have possibly been if trained unselfishly as a true sith lord and not sith assassin bodyguard. Darth Bane easily. from the lightsaber style to his force potential. dooku was his only apprentice with real force knowledge and abilities for that reason. He didnt fear dooku in the force but was concerned for Maul. For sidious to be concerned..... is quite telling of who was supposed t be the real sith lord amongst dooku and maul. While the lightsaber duel is debatable because we have no real way to compare outside of the fact he could beat Qui-Gon meaning he had potential to beat the man who taught him everything...aka dooku. The style Maul used was dedicted to defeated jedi who used the same style as Qui-gon and Dooku. its why dooku was 2nd string apprentice vs first as maul was. He had youth, ability, and potential. Nobody could judge that better than Sidious in all of star wars history. So i will happily say maul would have been much greater than dooku by a good margin alone because sidious only turned to dooku after maul's defeat. Otherwise he wouldve been another bitter jedi council master andgry with the times. Dooku knew this well, its why he didnt bat an eye when Skywalker replaced him. Dooku is a beast dont get me wrong, but in terms of possibilities he was at his end right at the beginning of him going to the darkside. But for Maul and Skywalker.... the sky was the limit. Dooku was just born to late i guess idk lol but he knew he was the side piece for Sidious not the main.

@@Rome__king Dooku wasn't a second choice, even Sidious was afraid of Dooku being a rival to him, while Maul and Savage Opress losed for Obi Wan, Dooku winned Obi Wan and Anakin in TCW serie

@@marceloaugusto9787 you dont read the novels huh.... if you think sidious ever feared dooku...the man he could force choke when ever he wanted.... across the galaxy... thats cute. the duel between a handicap leglesss maul who still doesnt know true force abilities.... and his 2 week trained brother ...which should tell you if his brother got that good... hmmmm that is scary even dooku was on his back foot against opress until he used force lightning. so hmmmm 1+1 if maul knew the same amount as obi in the force.... would obi beat maul??? heck no lmaoooooooo

@@marceloaugusto9787 lmao and dooku was his 2nd choice he even says it himself lmao in the show and books lol

Naw one is wayyy more popular dude.

@@rashad82094 well yea. Star wars is generally more popular so yea. I’m not saying they have an equal number of fans. Just comparing the things i specifically mention. They even both used iconic weapons.

Maybe with the exceptions of Anakin if he stayed loyal to the Jedi and Yoda yeah.

reckon more powerful then sids ?

@orin81 possibly Palpatine did consider him a valued apprentice and if his potential is talzin level then a true potential maul may be sidious level or higher though I believe his power would be expressed differently maul isn't the kinda guy to spam lightning

@@StefanWinchester so true I agree well said . Because Talzin was pretty much Sid’s level as they stalemated etc it took both Dooku and Sid’s to push her lightening back but even then they couldn’t break thru talzins shields .. hence makes sense maul with more potential then her would be more powerful then her hence Sid’s to ..

@orin81 maul was not only a worthy apprentice for sidious but a fiercely loyal one Palpatine made a huge mistake discarding maul.

@@StefanWinchester so true that bro well said , good also that George lucas openly admitted it to etc .. Sorry changing the subject : I hate what kennedy did to star wars she stuffed it all up! Disney should have stuck to Lucases original plans whereby Maul was going to be the next sith lord as well as darth talon by his side and where leila is the chosen one.. reckon they will ever bring Lucases stuff back on screen ? I hope so.. hope they reboot the series or can perhaps make an alternate time line? Or if not that then bring maul back some how from the dead via nite sister magicks lol..

Careful Ahsoka fans will hear you. I've even encountered someone who believes Kanan Jarrus is a better fighter than Maul because of what happened in Malacor.

@@baki484 Oh NoOo.

@@UmbrellaPharmaceuticals 😂😂 it's proof of Filoni's writing as overrated.

@@baki484 it is, filoni and Disney like to keep marketable characters, but the reason they killed off Maul was because they panicked and didn't know what to do with the character, because they had no place for him after Return of the Jedi like Lucas did. Filoni also has a crush on Ahsoka, so that's already a point against them for biased

@@UmbrellaPharmaceuticals My problem is the fanboys filoni's pet (Ahsoka) has. The man resorted to introducing time travel to keep her alive. We're going to see that favoritism in full swing since she's going to be the main character in a series with her name on it. Ever since Maul came back to life he's been punching bag for filoni but Ahsoka "beating" him was the last straw.

Maul was not Superior to Vader at any time in Canon in any way other then unarmed combat and most physical abilities aside from strength, durability, stamina, and endurance with lightsaber dueling and the force Vader is out of his league with the force at least Dooku was also out of his league a writer said that The Maul who got his power back from Dathomirian Magics used by Talzin and her lackeys that was even more powerful then his TPM Self was not on either Vaders or Dookus levels of power but that he stands amongst them because of iron will yeah.

Legends Vader was 80 percent of Sidious power according to Lucas as was Dooku And Maul I could believe Vader being 80 percent of Sidious power but not Dooku and definitely not Maul in Legends most statements imply that in terms of potential Luke over Galen And Galen Over Suited Vader And Suited Vader Over Dooku And Dooku Over Maul And Maul Over Asajj And Asajj Over Grievous And Grievous Over Durge yeah.
