What if Anakin Fought Darth Maul? - Star Wars Theory

In today's fantasy battle we're going to take two opponents who are insanely powerful; Darth Maul vs Anakin Skywalker. Who would win?
We’ve got the chosen one, vs arguably one of the more rage filled Sith to ever live. The Zabrak that survived being cut in half and falling down a shaft has some of the most aggressive fighting style we’ve come to see in Star Wars.
Trained in the 7th lightsaber fighting style, Maul was using the most aggressive fighting form there was. Full of acrobatics and powerful offensive strikes. He was the type of face user you wouldn’t want to encounter because his hunger for blood was insatiable. Maul didn’t use much of the force prior to the clone wars. At least in comparison. He was more of a savage. He liked to be up close and personal, to feel his blade cut through his enemy as he looked them in the eyes until their last breath. This won't be easy for Anakin. How will he do?

To be fair, Maul is more experienced and is more skilled as a Duelist. Yes, Anakin is definitely more skilled in Form V and had more force potential but he was frankly on easy mode because of his force potential and his relative dedication to sticking to his lightsaber combat. Unlike Obi Wan, Anakin stayed learning Form V and Jarkai, he never learned another form to master it just because he could. Maul did, but he prefered Juyo and clearly even though he ‘mastered’ or knew the other six light saber forms, he didnt know them well enough to beat Obi Wan twice. This implies to me his gaps in combat is more on the practical side and less the theoretical side. I think Anakin wins still, but it is at least close.

[@LucidVision138]

@@twenty-fifth420 You forget this fact, old Obi Wan killed Darth Maul in one swing of his sword easily. Yet Obi Was did not stand a chance against Darth Vader. If Vader could beat Obi-Wan yet Obi-Wan could kill Darth Maul so easily then I'm pretty sure that Anakin would easily beat Darth Maul and yes I used Vader as an example but keep in mind that Anakin was a much faster duelist before he became Vader.

I've always had a question about Anakin that no channel has ever answered. As many huge Star Wars fans know, Anakin struggled to make friends his age when growing up in the temple. Although he had many mentors and teachers, he had trouble making connections with Jedi his age. My question, do you think if Anakin would have made a group of close friends, ones he could seek advice from, train with, and enjoy free time with, that the emotions towards the Jedi Order would be different. So much so that he may of stayed in the light. looking forward to everyone's opinion!

I think his chances staying ob the light would be high with dome true friends. Imagine being that young, with all you've gone trough and having no real friend besides of Obi Wan.

[@dorianbedorian211]

I doubt it. Anakin, his son and his grandson Ben Solo all had to immerse themselves in the dark side of the force for full understanding of their powers, the story of the Skywalker men is how they pushed the limits of jedi understanding by embracing and returning from the dark side.

[@enki6676]

@@fabriferraro2766 That is true, Maul won the fight and could have easily defeated Obi-Wan while he jumped out of the shaft, but Obi-Wan's desperate move took him off guard, not to mention Obi-Wan's luck of having a spare lightsaber just happening to lie nearby. But Obi-Wan won in the end, granted he had a lot of luck and a thick layer of plot armor. But Anakin was overall more powerful than Obi-Wan, both with a lightsaber and with the Force, he dominated their entire duel on Mustafar up until his stupid arrogant mistake, he lost more to his own hubris than anything else. Coupled with his anger, he would've stood a fair chance against Maul.

[@fabriferraro2766]

Enki you’re right

[@draketurcotte4760]

Enki Obi Wan has a very defensive form. Obi Wan was observing Anakin, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Once the opportunity came, he jumped and taunted Anakin. We know where it goes from there. Obi Wan was THE master of Form III of lightsaber combat, Soresu. It was a very defensive form, and only a few masters of the form died in combat. Again, Anakin wasn’t dominating Obi Wan. Obi Wan was just being patient, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

[@DarthArachnious]

Maul is more sophisticated than people give him credit for. He's a savage fighter but still a disciplined martial artist. And his thoughtful planning on the takeover of Mandalore shows he's not feral or ignorant. His Sith missions required an understanding of politics, criminal organizations, planetary governments and corporations. The question becomes how powerful was Maul? Mother Talzin's power was described as illusion or connected to Dathomir itself. So he isn't powerful by Legacy. Sidious wouldn't have wasted his time if Maul wasn't powerful. But his training was limited by Plagueis. He proved as powerful as Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. But his potential could have equaled Mace Windu. If they were both whole at the height of their power. I think the fight would be similar to Obi-Wan vs Anakin with far more punches & acrobatics. Anakin would still win though.

[@Cobra1098]

Great video, can't wait to see the "new series" you mentioned! In terms of Anakin fighting Maul, I think it would definitely be a close fight, especially since they both tap into the Dark Side and heavily emphasize attacks over defense. However, I think the tipping point toward Anakin is that Maul is the one who killed Gui-Gon Jinn, the Jedi who discovered Anakin, who believed in him, fought the council to train Anakin, brought him out of slavery - and Maul killed him. And as stated in the video, Anakin was VERY interested in the duel that claimed Qui-Gon's life. If they did fight, then no matter how injured Anakin may be, no matter how powerful or savage Maul might become, no matter how much Anakin would have to draw on the Dark Side, there's no way Anakin would let Maul out alive.

[@lunarm4]

My money is on Anakin full way. throughout the times of the darker Anakin in the animated clone wars series up to him killing Dooku in Ep3, Anakin didn't need rage to win. He was simply just that powerful and that skilled, especially when killing Dooku. He had nothing to anger him. He was completely calm and focused and killed Dooku. He was conflicted yeah but only after beating Dooku fair and square. That Anakin would've beat Maul and quite frankly I believe would've beat Obi-Wan. I believe that's Anakin's prime. Not him at his rageful, arrogant state, but him at his calm and focused state. I honestly think his use of the dark side is more efficient when hes calm rather than when hes angry. In the end phases of the animated clone wars when he fought various people like, Dooku, Barris, and Asajj he either was slowly or quickly outmatching/completely dominating them while keeping calm. looking angry but staying focused.

[@mish2637]

Yea i completely agree, anakin was much more powerful than people give him credit for even tho he didn't reach his full potential. He would definitely win, particularly because he has studied Maul so thoroughly and Maul has never actually fought against Anakin before so he doesn't really know that much about his fighting style and stuff. Anakin's force abilities would certainly overpower Maul's and his lightsaber combat is either equally as strong as Maul's or stronger. Anakin also has more determination than any person in the stars wars universe, it's one of the reason's Vader became such a formidable sith, because of his determination to become better. So with Anakin in a controlled, focused, determined state in which he is tapping into the darkside he would destroy Maul.

[@AgentM79]

Every Clone Wars-era duel between Anakin and Asaj Ventress was a metaphor for bed-destroying, wall-banging, ,force powered fornication!!!!!!! The two of them SERIOUSLY needed to “get a room”. Oh, the little Darthlings they would have parented.........

[@lunarm4]

@@AgentM79 Funny how I somewhat believe Asaj could've been slightly attracted to Anakin just because of his growing power and ability to dominate her. Like during the last of her episodes Anakin could've been like "we'll bang, ok?" and she would've been like "f*** it! ok!" just to get rid of that tempting itch...😂😂😂😂

Great video, I'm so glad you chose TPM Maul and not the clone wars version

I love how this channel has grown and exemplified the pinnacle of the humble and positive side of the fandom for Star Wars. Star Wars theory will probably keep growing into something that is probably soon to join Disney on projects for Star Wars.

[@dorianbedorian211]

This was sooo good! You pitted two force aggressives together and did a very fair and accurate analysis. Anakin was a force "Hulk" the madder he got the stronger her became in the force remember master Yoda spoke of Luke in reference to young Anakin "Much anger there is in him, like his father before him." So even master Yoda was aware that Anakins force abilities were in part linked to his lack of anger management skills lol.

[@OneBoredCatbug]

I honestly think Maul would have decimated them, Obi Wan was originally fueled by rage and Qui Gonn was already pushed way out of his comfort zone. Maul would simply have too much of a tactical advantage, he would kill them both although the fight might have dragged on a bit longer. Obi Wan wouldn't be given a massive boost from the Dark Side and wouldn't have a hope in Hell of beating Maul unless Qui Gonn died first, in which case I still think Maul would win because Maul wouldn't have to kill the momentum he built up from fighting to wait for Obi Wan. Maul just wins in every situation I can think of unless Qui Gonn and Obi Wan suddenly started fighting in an un-orthadox manner which they would not, so they would not be capable of overwhelming Maul with their numbers or strange attacks. Obi Wan was a very skilled fighter even as a padawan but on the level of Maul? Not even close. If you want a scenario where Obi Wan and Qui Gonn both survive then maybe it would be "What if Maul didn't force push Obi Wan off those platforms leading up to the ray shields?" In that case I think Maul would have felt incredibly pressured because Obi Wan and Qui Gonn would be in a more comfortable position. And it's possible Maul would have made mistakes out of desperation.

Maul would relinquish the high ground and Anakin will pull his UNO reverse card. "Go on try spinning that's a good trick!"

[@spectraphantom9374]

I’ve always wondered this cause they’re both extremely physically dominating and have a deep connection to the dark side coupled with an ultra aggressive fighting style.

[@superpowerstopmotion3394]

mauls signature attack would block Ani's signature attack, common counter to the over head kendo strike that Ani likes is to stuff the hilt of your weapon under the hilt of the over head swing and throw them to the ground or use a cross check push which is one of mauls signatures that he finished qui gon with. I think that would have made this match very interesting

The answer is simple: Anakin would have destroyed him!
