I always had the feeling that Maul is Superior to Dooku in canon All this time I saw content telling me otherwise Glad to at last see a video which confirm what I was thinking about this topic

[@darkforgiven360]

Many will quickly turn to Dooku using force lightening. Yet Vader never uses force lightening in canon either and few would say that Dooku is superior to Darth Vader. Maul gets so underestimated.

[@alecjackman2655]

[@pixel3042]

I'm pretty sure that Vader can't use force lightning because his suit has a build-in weakness to lightning

[@CzarBomba827]

Pixel304 that and I’m pretty sure it’s been stated that your hands need to be living flesh in order to use force lightning.

[@polartang250]

Dooku as a Jedi was in the top 3 always being compared to Yoda and Mace who are both a tier above Maul. Then he became stronger when he learned the dark side and has bodied Kenobi and Anakin multiple times which Maul seems to always has a hard time trying to beat. Dooku with his force lightning is probably the least of Maul’s worries. Dooku is a better duelist, more experienced, more level headed and arguably stronger in the force.

[@ryggamortis7594]

It really erks me when people write write off darth maul as some kinda second rate villain, sure he wasn’t as explosively in tuned with the force like vader and sidious but he was far above average. His arrogance was his biggest weakness not his abilities, he just pulled all his power into his body to amplify his physical abilities making him a force to be reckoned with in lightsaber duels. But that doesn’t mean his outward abilities were completely lacking, sure we don’t see him shooting lightning but in the clone wars show he moved a huge space ship like 6x bigger than a tie fighter when he needed to, and I believe had he given the effort he could have learned lightning, maybe not like sidious but dooku level at the very least.

[@theoldhermit2601]

Also while i wont know until i get through the vid, my thought on why hes so powerful but loses so often is because his mindset makes him prone to losing. Just as Vader's mindset makes him destined to be conflicted and self loathing, Maul's mindset made him destined to be self defeating and arrogant in his moments of victory. And he only realizes this at the very end, after Ben Kenobi struck him down in seconds.

[@pantherapardus1398]

The one thing I'll say is that Maul is never able to conjure Force Lightning. This is probably due to the fact that the majority of his training focused on becoming an incredibly formidable duelist and well, it paid off. I believe that had Maul killed Obi Wan without toying with him, Sidious would've had begun to develop his Force powers.

[@thomaswilson8080]

The sad thing about maul was that we never got to see his full potential of him and i think maybe he could be more powerful then darth sidious if he didn’t get cut in half. Darth Maul was a true apprentice of palpatine ( not like count dooku )that if he lasted longer he may been able to kill him but after anakin was introduced to seen, maul was going to be replaced no one had more potential then the chosen one. And that even without training for around a decade he was so strong is amazing The one thing I disagree with the take that obi wan was weaker in there 1st fight there are many variables that could affect how obi wan didn’t do as well, such as fighting his masters killer. In the end tho the reason obi wan won so many of his duals isn’t because he had the most power or the most potential it was because he was so smart and calm in his fight’s, I think a lot of people don’t understand that. Both obi wan and darth maul are my top 2 favourite characters so thank you for making a great video on maul and could you make a video on obi wan, please. I think that rebels obi wan is equal to Darth Vader or just a bit weaker

[@jasonsjustbetter2037]

Sith don't just train anyone in there ways Sedious saw something in Maul to would want to even spend valuable time training him hard the way he did.....That should tell star wars fans enough where his potential is.

[@aaronmathclass]

Honstely Maul wouldve still lost if he found Obi-wan the first day he landed he wouldve been facing a Master who has long since commenced his journey to becoming 1 with the force the duel wouldve probably been alot longer but ended the same with Maul seeing the chance to kill him just like his master except he was facing a foe who long since forgave and forgot this foe and cuts him down honorably

[@matthewmann8969]

True but the fight would of been longer even if Maul lost yeah.

[@Tiptoptier]

I’m not positively sure if maul is rivaling Palpatine anytime soon but yeah, he’s one of the strongest Sith in his time for sure. Good video as always

[@_LYo]

In short: Darth Maul is one of the best (and my all time favourite) Star Wars characters and an insane character arc. (Plus his Soundtrack is absolutely epic!) In my opinion it was mainly Obi-Wans Plot Armor and a bit Mauls slight arrogance and taunting that led to his fall into the pit and his "defeats" years after. His time on Lotho Minor only proves how incredibly powerful he was in the force, even with his sanity lost he was able to hold junk together to form legs only with the force, for years. The fact alone that Sidious doesn't send a henchman to deal with Maul and Savage but instead goes to Mandalore in person shows how much of a threat they are to his cause and how strong Maul actually is. In the battle Ahsoka vs Maul it's often overlooked that Maul didn't want do defeat Ahsoka, although he could've easily, he wanted her to join him and help him. And even after that, without a lightsaber and only with the force he slashed his way through hallways of Clones. Even in rebels, way past his prime, Maul took on the Inquisitors and demolished them with ease. In overall power only Sidious is slightly above Maul and so many fans definetely don't appreciate Maul enough. I'd also like to add that Ray Park with his jumps and stunts and Sam Witwer with his chilling voice both did an absolutely amazing job at portraying him.

[@xXSonTJXx]

I honestly didn’t know how lucky Obi Wan is in all his fights where he beats people stronger than him due to pure luck or them holding back/nerfed lol

I think that he will become a beast with night sister Magic’s combined with his sith force etc .. definitely quite OP and super Uber !

[@artofcujo]

I think a few of your arguments are a little disingenuous. Vader comparing that fighting style to sidious's is probably because sidious trained maul in lightsaber combat and not because she necessarily rivals him. Maul being able to kill clones when the Jedi couldn't in order 66 isn't good enough of a feat to bring up since the Jedi would've been completely caught off guard at their allies turning against them while it was just another Tuesday for maul. There's a lot of feats putting Vader on a level above maul and claiming maul wasn't in his right mind against obi wan in rebels while not pointing out Vader was the same way against ahsoka is pretty fallacious. I also think it would've been better for you to elaborate more on count dooku's scaling (feats statements stuff like that) to get a more concrete analysis on where they should scale to one another, it seemed like you cherry picked a bit in that segment. I do however think your analysis of obi wan and maul's scaling was well thought out and in depth which I appreciate

[@KeyIssues]

1. I didn't make that claim. I just said he was very good at training Qi'ra to the point she could contend with Vader. 2. Many Jedi had the opportunity to fight and survive but died with their lightsabers in hand. Not all were caught completely off-guard. 3. Vader IS in his right mind when fighting Ahsoka. It's stated by Filoni himself. 4. This isn't a Dooku video.

[@artofcujo]

@@KeyIssues point was her being good at fighting and having a similar style to sidious is specifically because maul was trained by sidious and would have a similar style which was the main point of what I said. it's been stated numerous times that towards the end of the clone wars the jedi's abilities and mental states were clouded by the dark side and even if some Jedi fought back it's disingenuous to argue they wouldn't be mentally prepared for what happened. Filoni said that Vader was actively trying to kill ahsoka because he felt she was a threat due to being a reminder of Anakin, Vader is not very sound of mind during many instances where something or someone reminds him of Anakin as his perception of his new and old identity cause him to be conflicted. I never stated it was supposed to be a dooku video but there's evidence that makes your claims of maul's blatant superiority to dooku pretty contentious which is why I thought it wouldn't been better to bring those statements and feats up to prove your point better

[@jasonsjustbetter2037]

​@@artofcujo You're argument for Vader not being in the right state of mind while fighting Ashoka i feel is very weak. If Filoni himself stated Vader was attempting to kill ashoka and he showcased no feelings of confliction but simply rage, (Which is common for Vader all the time), then simply assuming he was conflicted based on no statements or anything proving otherwise is very weak imo.

[@artofcujo]

@@jasonsjustbetter2037 I don't mean conflicted in the sense that he doesn't have the resolve to kill ahsoka, but in the sense that whenever Vader gets reminded of Anakin (through instances like this where he sees someone close to him from his past) his state of mind changes to an extent due to him not thinking as rationally due to his anger. We see instances in the comics where his old feelings and his reaction to snuff them out when coming in contact with shit from his past causes him to act and think differently from how he does normally, and at one point he even flat out betrays palpatine by letting one of padme's body doubles go because of his past connections. There's simply more instances where reminders of Vader's past life as Anakin causes him to think and act differently than there are instances otherwise. A way better example is in the Kenobi show where Vader is basically bloodlusted the entire time because he's consumed with killing Kenobi and killing one more link to his past

Sith were always meant to be much stronger than the jedi considering the power. In TPM Maul had the upper hand against a jedi master and his apprentice together but later on he even gets defeated by normal jedi. They nerfed him more and more over time, especially when Disney took over. George Lucas had even planned to have Maul as the main antagonist in the sequels. As an apprentice of Sidious, the sequels could have been perfect with his return. Dave Filoni sometimes lacks George Luca's vision

Who will be the next character that you are going to scale? Luke? Dooku? Obi-Wan? Looking forward to it anyways.

[@hellothere-bx8cf]

Can you tell me his feats in legends and what book/comic he displayed his powers in?

[@matthewmann8969]

​@@hellothere-bx8cf1. In Legends as a Jedi Initiate he beyond easily telekenetically lifted a plant that weighed many hundreds of pounds and he was like seven years old or younger when he did that while most force users his age could barely lift leafs without struggling. 2. As a Jedi Initiate he above simply won force duels in competitions and tournaments at nine years old based on combating other force users based on force shields, force barriers, telekinesis, and force senses he was so good at it that he was the only student Yoda would not let win and out some effort into beating. 3. His potential in the force was so super high that Yoda desired to train him one on one personally and his potential in the force being enigmatic even for Yoda to comprehend Yoda did not even see this same potential in Windu and Yoda only refused the training of Anakin because Anakin was too old when he went to the order if not either Yoda or Dooku would of trained Anakin. Plus Plagueis saw Dooku as a insurance apprentice if Sidious did not go according to plan while he did not see that with Maul even before his defeat, Sifo Dyas even before he got offed, Nor Qui Gon even before he got the sentence to the netherealm. Plus Sidious had Dooku in mind even before Mauls defeat and saw Maul in reality as a assassin like Asajj And Grievous although more powerful while he saw Dooku as a true ally a equal from the other camp already trained in the jedi arts, a master duelist, and a skilled diplomat. 4. Was considered by Yoda to be the Jedi the most learned in the ways of the force, the orders strongest student, and the orders greatest failure(Lost For Leaving The Order) he said this in front of the entire council including Windu during times of Clone Wars implying that Jedi Master Dooku was more powerful then and higher potentialed then everyone in the order except Yoda And Anakin the latter when it comes to potential only yeah. 5. Sidious seeing Jedi Master TPM Dooku as his equal in power, skill, and political and governmental acumen a Sidious that became far more powerful after murdering Plagueis he thought this in his mind. 6. Was the second leading expert on Telekenesis in the Jedi Order after Yoda as a Jedi Master that he taught classes on the power upper then easily lifting all the council chairs and other heavy furniture in rapid succession. 7. Was so good at force speed and force reflexes that he was either tied with Yoda or slightly below Yoda around TPM Circa with Windu either being his equal or slight beneather. 8. Force healing was so good that he easily could heal himself of even the most harmful of poisons and diseases second only to Yoda in the order. 9. Best user of Tutiminus in the order most likely since he was taught directly by Yoda and said to be the most learned in the ways of the force after Yoda. 10. Likely was the second best in the order with telepathy, beast control, battle meditation, force self levitation, force illusions, etc. 11. As a sith within five years of his tutoring under Sidious he became a high tier Master of the dark side with force lightning, don moch, teleportation, force cage, doppelganger, force rage, and plenty of more powers force drain as well as que tech.

[@-Chase_Colon]

very interesting character

[@lasombramagister2668]

After Talzin gave him a power boost he was on Vader's level, but if he hadn't so fully let the Dark Side cloud his mind and become so hung up on petty revenge, I believe that in time, with the proper training he could have begun to approach Rick The Door Technicians level of power.

Wasted potential

[@ObnoxiousGhast]

Did you fall on your head as a child? What has EVER suggested maul was EVER on Vader level?

[@daunknown1684]

​@@ObnoxiousGhastweird roast, but yeah, not quite on the same level, though according to Dave Filoni, in same realm during Rebels, so they couldn't have been far apart in power.

[@ObnoxiousGhast]

@@daunknown1684 they would have to be quite far apart, Maul with all his hubris and pride, admitted he couldn't defeat Vader ("I cannot defeat Vader alone" is what he said specifically) and Maul always tends to underestimate all his opponents, so for him to acknowledge he can't beat Vader, at least not alone would mean Vader would have to be considerably more powerful than him.

[@daunknown1684]

@@ObnoxiousGhast well, we have no context as to why Maul said that line. It was only implied he and Vader had fought and Maul certainly did not deem himself as victorious. However, Vader is rather not the guy that allows you to survive and Maul was still alive to tell the tale, which, provided they actually fought, implies he was at least powerful enough to walk out in one piece.

[@namelessvoid9725]

@Key Issues unless it wasn't retconned wasnt it stated sidious only trained maul like an assassin and didn't give him real sith training so he was only at a fraction of what he could have been if sidious trained him fully?

[@KeyIssues]

No

[@OfficialNube]

I agree with most of your analysis but I don't believe Maul was ever on a similar level to Vader mainly because Maul stated himself that he could not defeat Vader alone. He may have said this to manipulate Ahsoka, Kanan and Ezra but there is definitely some truth to his statement.

[@GeneFOX70]

Just like Ahsoka, Maul is comparable to Vader in dueling but weaker than him when it comes to Force power.

[@soularprimestudios5930]

So Maul thought he could take on both Mace and Ayla that says alot about his skill level with a saber...

​@@pixel3042He really wasn't he wanted Ahsoka by his side so he took it easy it looked like he was using 40 percent of his power not gonna lie and Ahsoka also was just trying to capture Maul but it looked like she was really trying...I think one reason he wanted Ahsoka by his side was because he knew the simular parallels in there lives..you know what they say opposites attract...she would have joined him if he did not say he wanted to kill Anakin..Imagine if he kept that to himself 😮

[@Sweeptheleg83]

Eh, not sure between Maul and Dooku. Maybe because of Dookus age Maul would have an advantage but i think a younger and in his prime Dooku could take Maul. Dooku, even at his advanced age, fought Yoda to a draw. I know had they continued Yoda ultimately would have win but that is still very impressive considering Yoda was the best Jedi duelist of his time. I personally think Dooku was slightly better as a duelist then Windu. In fact i would say Dooku is one of the best pure duelists of all time. I think only Vader, Yoda and Sideous (probably Luke too) are above him but i think he could hang with anyone else. He made Obi Wan look like a chump twice so hes definitely a beast.

[@nisoldi]

Is this the guy from the end scene in Solo: A Star Wars Story?

[@jasonsjustbetter2037]

yes

[@bricelevai8520]

I’d argue that dooku and maul were at the same level. Dooku just fell to Anakin

[@crammothy]

You need to make a video about how strong Obi-Wan is as he is one of the strongest Jedi and you have used him as an example in this video and previously to show how strong other characters are.

[@KeyIssues]

I use him as an example because he is not very high-tier when talking about the strongest Jedi ever. Middle of the pack.

[@crammothy]

@@KeyIssues Yeah that’s true although I would still like to see a video analyzing how strong he truly is

Late Clone Wars Maul is more powerful and skilled then most on even footing except against Talzin, Sidious, Dooku, Mace, Yoda, Anakin, Plo Koon, And Obi Wan yeah.

When he fought Ben Kenobi on tatunoine Kenobi was also significantly more powerful as a few years before he overpowered and defeated Vader.

Maul>>>>kenobi

[@timurjack8773]

Styles make fights, if its defense is needed Obi-Wan, if its offense is needed then Maul, because they both are tier 8 according to Nick Gillard. Gillard's rankings: Tier 9: Sidious, Yoda Tier 8: Maul, Dooku, Episode 3 Obi-Wan, Mace Windu (bordering tier 9) , Episode 3 Anakin (bordering tier 9) Tier 7: Episode 1&2 Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Kit Fisto Tier 6: Episode 2 Anakin

@@timurjack8773 anakin in ep 2 was also a level 7, and dark side anakin a 9, but this isnt just about dueling, Maul has other advantages

[@charliecollins581]

I think maul is stronger than obi wan but their final duel shows how insanely clever obi wan was, he was using the same stance qui gon was using in their second fight, which got maul to use the same move he killed him with. Obi wan anticipated this, changed stance and brought his lightsaber down through the middle of mauls. Maul was weakened but still got outplayed due to his confidence, especially if he was intentionally used that move
