You are the first one, who finally recognizes how powerful Windu, Dooku and Maul really are!

[@funnature8679]

Important note in canon he practiced form 2 and also he was tattooed by Sidious, and maul developed and practiced actual martial arts and Extreme endurance due to his conditioning.

[@theseekerofancienttruth3873]

Few know, and fewer remember, that Maul had a Depth to him that was Stunted by Palpatine and Plagueis msking him a mere Sith Assassin. In Clone Wars, we get the Barest Glimpse of Maul's Immense Power, which is between Obi-Wan and Anakin (Roughly Yoda), but other than that, it is only hinted at in Lore (Legends a bit more than Canon, but Not by Much).

[@maxccrowfeather3019]

[@ultrashadow9551]

​@@dawsongoth4392 I wouldn't go that far but I'd definetly say Maul had roughly the same potential as Starkiller.

[@dawsongoth4392]

@@ultrashadow9551 well I said that because it’s is stated multiple times in canon and legends that maul was one of the most powerful and skilled sith in recent history, and it was shown in either canon or legends (can’t remember) that a revived maul basically stalemated a Vader that was only a few months, I believe, before the Battle of Yavin and the only way Vader won was because he anger towards himself was greater than maul’s total hatred

[@ultrashadow9551]

@@dawsongoth4392 fair enough but I do have a few counter points. A. Maul being the most powerful Sith in "recent" history doesn't exactly mean much as most of the Baneite Sith are featless and when going on feats and accolades he'd lose to individuals such as Malgus and Revan. B. It can be inferred that the people who revived Maul in legends had known how powerful Vader was and adjusted Maul to match that strength, especially considering Maul was absolutely TERRIFIED of Vader in cannon.

[@asingh4025]

yes absolutely love this .... great twist with mother Townsend ... and Anakin .... I've always loved the thought of maul being a Jedi the reason I suggested that Anakin should be trained by maul ... is that we would have still had a Luke and leia ....and quite possibly qui gon but non the less really liked this take keep up[ the good work

Talzin, her name is Mother Talzin.

[@Stronghand-yw1lk]

Now this was an interesting spin on things.

[@nikolai6489]

This was pretty good

[@Seheiii]

Tbh I believe if Anakin was taught by Darth Sidious from the time after Naboo, he would've been much more competent in the force and having many more abilities. I believe he would've been pushed to the extremes like Sidious did with Maul in canon and would've reaped better results. He would've been taught by Sidious, due to his potential in the force, to be more cunning and reliant on the force. I personally don't think he would've lost to Maul. The argument for Vapaad is a valid one, however I would argue that Anakin's potential explored in the dark side would overcome. Great video still. Just wanted to put my 2 cents out there and and would like to say I recently stumbled upon your channel and have not been able to stop watching. Great stuff!!

What if Darth Malgus was a Jedi?

[@dominiqued12]

aint no way that maul is beating anakin

[@Mr.MR2111]

Well, with Maul's master being Windu, he learnt to use vappad. Anakin made mistakes in the battle using a ton of darkness, which made Maul really OP. Maul's strenght can't be compered to his in og because now Maul went trough diffrent training and diffrent life.

[@FantasyFolklore]

I tried to explain my reasoning in this video. Anakin is still young at the time of order 66 and immature. Maul is a full blown Jedi knight and one of the strongest at that time. He is a master of Vaapad which he learnt from Windu but he's notably proficient in the technique because he has a strong inner darkness due to him being Mother Talzin's son. His Jedi training allowed him to conquer this inner darkness and control it. During his final duel with Anakin, he releases this bottled up inner darkness that he has learnt to control and lets it flow through him and uses it to fuel his Vaapad, now feeding off the dark side coming from Anakin (who is extremely powerful) and his own inner darkness. The combination of these two resulted in Maul achieving extreme power in that moment which allowed him to defeat the still young and immature Anakin. Vaapad is the perfect technique for someone like Maul with a strong inner darkness which is why I believe he would've been a stronger Jedi with this technique than he was as a Sith. If Anakin was an older Sith, it might have been a different story. Hope that helps.

What happened bro?

[@d.columbia9603]

Great video. Unfortunately vapaad wouldn't be enough on its own. Maul would likely never be strong enough in any universe to best dooku. If Anikan was raised with the same sort of focus and hatred maul had then he would likely be unstoppable. Bulq never had the same level of success against dooku using vapaad and ball fought mace to a standstill. Also giving into the dark side would likely completely negate any effects of vapaad

[@theseekerofancienttruth3873]

Maul is actually on par with Yoda in his Prime, at least in Legends. Dooku is close to that, but lacks some of Maul's Unique Talents.

[@d.columbia9603]

@@theseekerofancienttruth3873 which legends sources? Not in shadow hunter, sabatour, maul. A comic references Anikan surpassing mauls combat prowess when he is still a padawan. Legands is incredibly vast so I don't doubt that he may have been depicted that way. But not in more mainstream legends continuity that I'm aware of. Maul is shown to kill few jedi knights and a couple masters. However none of them were particularly renowned duelests like kit fisto, plo, Yoda, mace, Anikan or dooku.

[@hadikhan5197]

Anakin was Way Underpowered in Star Wars. He was the Purest embodiment of The Force and yet got his Ass kicked by Any Random Force user.

[@d.columbia9603]

@@hadikhan5197 couldn't agree more. The movies especially really failed to present why Anikan was special. Some books and comics do a better job but pretty significant missed opportunities

[@mesiagamer5217]

Vapad isn't actually about power it's more about controlling the dark and turning it against its enemy when mastered. Basically the stronger in the dark side the enemy is the stronger the form gets.

I'm not sure if this is based in legands or canon, but I don't think Maul would be eligible for the rank of master unless he had trained a padawan into knighthood. I can't recall where it was stated, but I remember it being said that this particular law was one of the reasons Anakin was never given the rank of master - becuase he was ineligible as his padwan, Ahsoka, left the order and never reached knighthood. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, though, or if this was only true in legends.

This is interesting sense I always though of Obi-Wan as the embodiment of the Jedi, Ahsoka of the light-side (detached from Jedi), and Maul the dark-side (detached from Sith). This makes the flip is interesting. I never though Mother Talsin to be the pushover she seems in this though. I always thought her Sidouses equal and rival. The fact that she would die to Maul alone feels absurd. The fight was stacked ever so greatly in their favor! Also that she would work with Sidous, much less as his apprentice, feels out of character.
