Maul was actually really fair here. He didn’t use the Force, and allowed Vizsla to use whatever gadgets he had. He could’ve ended the fight by just holding him with the Force and stabbing him, but he proved he had the strength necessary to lead Mandalore.

Fact! A wonderful warrior

[@Lew_7567]

He did use the force but in minor ways such as a simple force jump and doging lase fire. Maul was fair and only use his skills until Vizla chose to use gadget's. In my eyes this is cheating, and he gave up his right to a proper fight. Maul intended to fight in sword to sword and hand to hand combat. Vizla cheated first by using gadgets. But Maul still chose to use the force so minor to prove himself to Vizla's men.

+Babylonthegreat Change? Not all accept it. The old ways was the pride of not just the people of Death Watch but of all clans. The Sith have always took part in manipulating Mandalore and the Jedi have always proven to be the greatest enemy since the war with Exar Kun sparked the Mandalorian wars. This is a part of the clans, this is a part of their pride, and even if it means that chaos is brought upon the children of Mandalore before order it is better then order before the chaos.

[@borjadecoy25]

+Babylonthegreat Not all Mandalorian history is unstable. Under de leadership of Jaster and Boba Fett there was peace in Mandalore. Only the Death Watch stood in Jaster's way. But as you see, I prefer the ways of the Mandalorian Protectors, the ideals of Jaster, Jango, Boba, Fenn...etc. Death Watch are terrorists and some Mandalores where warmongers. But you can't blame an entire culture just because their leaders mader mistakes. And some wars against the Republic where justified.

I don't think many notice how smart Maul was in this scene. Not once in the entire fight does Maul fall back on the Force, instead relying on his inherent skill with a lightsaber and his agility, even when Vizsla is using all of his gadgets against him. The fact that shows the rest of the soldiers that he can defeat their leader without falling back on his Force abilities speaks volumes about how powerful he is but it also shows that he is willing to handicap himself for an honor bound duel, which earns their loyalty. Yeah, Maul knew he could win without the Force but he also had to use Mandalorian culture to his advantage.

My favorite thing about this fight is that its one of the very few fights we see in star wars where a sith is fighting fair. Maul uses nothing but his saber and melee combat, allowing visla to use whatever gadgets he had on him. He won this fight completely fairly and honorably. The death watch that dipped out on him after won essentially cheated him on the deal, yet he still goes on and further proves that he is more then strong enough to rule.

[@Mediados]

Maul is a true Sith Warrior. He doesn't betray his own people, values loyalty, and respects the conditions of honorable combat. He is more of a Sith than Sidious can ever imagine.

[@NinjaBray]

​@@Mediados So you're saying he's more like the long dead full blood Sith than the Banite Sith he trained under is what

[@irohnic473]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@Mediadosidk about that…The sith are, more or less, defined by betrayal and their search for power. The sith code pretty much says victory must be achieved through any cost. Maul isn’t really a sith, both in name or in his actions. He acts more reminiscent of a more treacherous, dark side oriented Qui Gon or a force guru who faces towards the dark side, especially in his later years; he focuses more on the force, acts with characteristics of both sith and jedi, and does allows both sides to guide him, though he does act and lean significantly closer to the dark side than the light one.

[@Mediados]

@@irohnic473 The Sith Code dictates to search for power, and through this power achieve victory. It encourages ambition, never to be content but to always strive for more. Most Sith used it as an excuse to do anything they desired and to help themselves only. But technically the Code doesn't tell you to be treacherous, honorless and deceptive. If you want to, you can also search power for the good of a group or to help people. The vast majority of Sith are evil, but the Code is not. You can be Sith without being consumed by the Dark Side, all you have to do is to prove the strength of your way and if you win then no Sith has the right to question it.

I genuinely like the philosophy that Mandalorians apply when it comes to a duel. You can use any methods at your disposal to try and win, the only stipulation is that it has to be one on one. There’s no forced or fake “honor” system where they only fight with a single weapon, it’s a test of the full power of one opponent versus another.

This other random person (I don't know what he was thinking), started going off about how 'only aliens should voice alien characters'. And I said 'as far as we know aliens don't exist so they are free game for anyone to voice'. And then he goes 'well since the Mandalorians and clones are aliens does that mean anyone can voice them'. I told him 'they are still humans; humans who became part of the Mandalore culture because of their history of conquests and taking children to raise as their own'. This guy just absolutely loses it and starts saying made up excuses about how I'm being a hypocrite and I'm wrong about Mandalorians and that they aren't really human. Thankfully he eventually dipped out because I think he realized he was losing the argument. But it was bizarre; he said he didn't care about who voiced who then started off on weird tangents to try to make me slip up.

I really like how Pre Viszla accepts his death at the end and essentially admits that Maul is not only stronger but rightfully earned his right to rule. It shows that even for all his criminal actions, Pre Viszla is still very much an honourable person who genuinely believes in and follows Mandalorian traditions. Contrast that with Gar Saxon who tried to shoot Sabine even when she chose to give him mercy, and it really puts both Mandalorian leaders in perspective. One was a misguided extremist who earned and understood respect, the other was a thug who only gained power by working for someone else.

@I am Cornholio By that logic then the first person to give birth to another person led to the deaths of all people to have died at the hands of another human.

[@patrioticjustice9040]

I am Cornholio This is why it's important to actually learn history, instead of have "professors" try to twist the lesson with something they got from an activist blogger. Myth: Columbus did not actually discover anything. FACT: Columbus discovered America. When he set sail in 1492, no one on either side of the Atlantic knew the other was there. His voyage initiated the first continuous engagement between the peoples of the European and American continents. He brought together diverse cultures previously unknown to each other and sparked a mutually beneficial exchange of goods and ideas. Viewed from either side, his was most certainly a voyage of discovery. Myth: Columbus committed genocide. FACT: Columbus did not commit genocide. He sought to form good relationships with the native peoples of the New World and had no intention of doing them any harm. He had intended to sail to Asia, a land both populous and technologically advanced. His intent was trade and evangelization, not conquest. In exploring and settling the New World, Columbus frequently ordered his men to treat the natives well and not commit injustices or atrocities against them. Columbus punished and even executed some of the settlers who went against his orders and abused the natives. Scholars like Stanford professor emeritus Carol Delaney describe his interactions with the native peoples as generally benign and his motivations as religious; he was not violent, hostile, or cruel to those he encountered. Furthermore, the vast majority of the natives who died in the years after Columbus’ arrival succumbed to communicable diseases inadvertently transmitted by the Europeans rather than from any intentional act on the part of Columbus, his men or the settlers. Myth: Columbus is to be blamed for bringing diseases to the New World that killed many natives. FACT: Inadvertently, Europeans did bring communicable diseases to the New World for which the native peoples had little or no immunity, and great numbers died as a result. Some diseases may also have been spread to the Europeans by the natives. The vast majority of indigenous peoples who died in the years following the European settlement of the New World perished from disease rather than from conflict or abuse at the hands of European settlers. This is a tragic, unintended consequence of the encounter between two cultures, but certainly not something for which Columbus - or anyone else - can be held responsible or culpable. Myth: Columbus introduced slavery to the New World. FACT: “Slavery was common, even among [native] people in the Caribbean,” according to former Stanford anthropologist Carol Delaney. However, slavery was not Columbus’ goal; friendship with the native peoples was. Even today, enemy combatants are often captured and imprisoned, and criminals are often assigned to do manual labor. Myth: Columbus sought to force the natives to work. FACT: Columbus resisted efforts to force the natives to work. He expected his own men to build the settlements, search for natural resources, and perform their own labor. When he consented to using native laborers, he sought to compensate them properly as vassals of the Spanish crown. However, Columbus’ men violated these standards. Facing rebellion and under duress, Columbus allowed a system of labor already instituted by the rebels. Columbus himself is well-documented to have advocated for just treatment of the natives. Myth: Columbus was a brutal man. FACT: Columbus often sought to restrain his men from mistreating the native peoples. In a time when some would question whether the native peoples of America were truly human, Columbus immediately acknowledged their humanity and innate dignity. He recognized them as humans with immortal souls and was concerned for their salvation and their right to choose freely to embrace the Christian faith. He even adopted the son of a native chief as his own son. Myth: Columbus forced his religion on the natives. FACT: Columbus was a devout Christian who desired to introduce the native peoples to Christianity, but he did not force any to convert. He specifically saw the Indians as “a people who would be better freed [from error] and converted to our Holy Faith by love than by force,” as he wrote in his diary. He asked the monarchs and the Pope to send priests who would learn the native language and instruct the people in the Christian faith prior to baptism. Myth: Columbus was arrested and returned to Spain in chains for his cruelty against the natives. FACT: After his third voyage, while he was governor of Hispaniola, Columbus was indeed arrested and taken back to Spain in chains, but it was for actions taken against rebellious European settlers. He had punished and even executed some of the Europeans for abusing the natives. Bartolomé de las Casas, although sometimes critical of aspects of Columbus’ administration, wrote of the “sweetness and benignity” of the explorer and added: “Truly, I would not dare blame the admiral’s intentions, for I know him well and I know his intentions were good.” Myth: Columbus was only after gold, glory and his own self-interest. FACT: Columbus surely desired to be rewarded and recognized for his efforts, but these were not his primary driving motives for his voyages to the New World. His motivations, for the most part, were religious, including the desire to bring Christianity to foreign lands. Myth: Columbus was a poor navigator. FACT: Columbus was a skilled navigator who made an unprecedented voyage across the Atlantic and found the New World. Although Columbus did not reach Asia as he had hoped, his voyages revealed an entire continent previously unknown to the people of Europe. Because he kept journals of his voyages, he blazed a path for other explorers to follow. In addition, Columbus did something none of his contemporaries had done before him: He sailed west into the unknown, found land and returned safely. Myth: Columbus is a symbol of white supremacy. FACT: In fact, the Ku Klux Klan in particular has demonstrated enormous hostility to Columbus because he was Italian and Catholic, rather than Anglo-Saxon and Protestant, which aroused their anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic bigotry. Historically, the KKK actively protested Columbus celebrations and monuments to the explorer.

Some stuff I noticed about this battle. >Maul challenges Viszla in front of his men: clear audience and an insurance that Viszla will not refuse (it'd make him look like a coward). This is further emphasized with how Viszla exchanges glances with the rest of the Deathwatch: he must answer the challenge, and he knows it, but this cemented it. >Maul fights the whole battle without using Force, save for that single jump that he used to kick Viszla out of air. He's dueling Viszla not as a Dark Jedi, but as "one warrior to another": exactly how he said he would. A show of twisted sportsmanship, but in reality just an insurance that Deathwatch shall willingly acknowledge his claim if he wins. Not only is it a fair fight from his side, but if he's that tremendous without the Force, imagine him with it. Also, despite Viszla using most of his arsenal, Maul doesn't reciprocate, showing that he can beat Viszla while holding back. >During the swordfighting sequences, Maul _never_ uses a standard two-handed grip unless Viszla is also using it. Again, a show of twisted sportsmanship from his side, since using a two-handed grip would make his swings significantly stronger and thus put Viszla, who is wielding a shorter sword and whose armour would impair him from fluid usage of two-handed grip, at a disadvantage. Only exceptions to this are when he's deflecting the blaster bolts that Viszla is firing at him, which kinda makes it a fair game. >Despite being shown to be largely ambidextrous, Maul is still primarily right-handed. During the one-handed sequences, he'll sometimes switch to holding his lightsabre with his left hand, which presents no apparent tactical advantage other than saying "hey look: I'm crippling myself and still kicking his ass" to the onlookers. >When Viszla disarms him, Maul doesn't take his lightsabre back, even without the use of Force, but instead reciprocates by disarming Viszla and injuring his primary hand (almost exactly what Visza did to him), proceeding to beat him into submission bare-handed. >When Maul knees Viszla in the face (second to last blow), he knocks out a molar, which can be seen flying. >Maul's only proper use of the Force is when he telekinetically calls the Darksabre to him. He already showcased his skill in combat and pretty much won, so now there's no need to stifle himself. Now's the time to show some dominance and look epic while doing it. >Because he was shot in his right hand, Maul uses the Darksabre with his left hand as a primary for the rest of the scene. He also doesn't use his right hand at all in the beatdown sequence. >A close look at Maul's lightsabre reveals that he trimmed the jagged edge that was left when Obi-Wan cut his sabrestaff in half back on Naboo. >Maul's Deathwatch are almost comically slow on the trigger.

The way Maul fought and defeated Pre Viszla without using The Force until at the very end where he reminded everyone that he's capable of doing so by telekinetically picking up the Darksaber cemented the idea that he is the ideal leader in the mind of the Mandalorians

Count Dooku the only reason he didn’t get his neck broken with the force as soon as Maul walked in the room was because, he knew none of the other deathwatch members would follow him if he did it. It’s nowhere near as impressive when you factor in that Maul was holding back.

Of course he fought him on equal terms as a warrior to prove he wasnt weak without powers to the mandalorians. But he did respect pre visla, he didn't beg or cry just accepted his own terms on his honor as a warrior and i think thats something even the most cold hearted of us can respect and admire.

One of the greatest scenes in Star Wars history - I remember being obsessed with this fight as a kid, watching Maul tactically and gradually overthrow the Vizsla regime behind the scenes so methodically, only to challenge Vizsla in a traditional Mandalorian fashion, to then win and claim Mandalore in his name. I thought the lore was the best thing part of the Star Wars universe bar the original 6 films at the time. And man, has it aged wonderfully - I can't believe this aired over 10 years ago already.

It was only when a former Sith lord took over her planet that she realized just how destructive those traditions were, and she finally broke away from them.

[@TheFirstCurse1]

He did actually use The Force, but only to negate Pre Viszla using his gadgets. You can see that Maul's swings are slower and more realistic. He wasn't using The Force to enhance his speed or strength. I don't think he was using battle cognition either. Otherwise Maul would have instantly won. Instead Maul fought honorably, and only used The Force to deflect blaster bolts, the flamethrower (he dispersed it above him), and to jump high in the air to kick Viszla to the ground after the latter used his jetpack. And those are all completely acceptable. Viszla was more or less "cheating" in a sense.

[@estebangutierrez160]

Another thing interesting about the fight is that Viszla fights dirty. Instead of just a normal lightsaber/sword fight, he tries to beat the crap out of Maul, but as we see during Maul's fight with Palpatine, he doesn't use his fists only his lightsaber(s).

What’s her development abandoning the code? She literally just betrays every faction she is in and everyone she is close to. She betrays her sister, manipulates pre to betray maul getting him killed , betrays mauls after he wins fair lawful duel she causes, and then the people of mandolore completely by having the republic invade the planet cause she won’t fight maul 1v1 putting the planet under the empire’s rule causing a purge that almost wipes out her people and her culture. She a terrible person and never learns a god damn thing. Pre and her sister are pretty bad leaders of the mandos but I gotta say bo is probably the worst of them all. They are bad because they are incompetent and abandon the mando code and principals. Bo is bad because she a cunt, a traitor, and is responsible to the worst things in mando history. At least the other two try to make mandolore a better place. You know It’s bad when maul is the best leader of the mandos in the clone wars.
