[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

Excellent point you notice that Maul was just as disposable as all of Sidious's apprentices were. I rather think that had Kenobi not halved Maul on Naboo, Sidious would have tested the future Lord Tyranus by pitting him against the slayer of his old Padawan and there's no doubt Dooku would have crushed Maul.

[@cjclark2002]

Which would of been very very spicy indeed, unfortunate.

[@shaneclark7587]

No Sidious was angered by the loss of Maul. Dooku had the connections and wealth to start the CIS but Dooku was never a true sith. He seen the errors of the Jedi and Republic and sought to correct them. Palpatine would use the influence Dooku had but show him his true identity, being lord Sidious, and the dark side much more gradual to see if this new tool of his was worth it. It would come down to Maul and Dooku fighting each other for Sidious's apprenticeship.

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

@@shaneclark7587 you are incorrect. Sidious always planned to recruit Dooku and both Sidious and his Master Plageuis recognized that Dooku would not accept less than to become a Sith Lord himself. He was absolutely a Rule of Two Sith Lord, he betrayed and murdered his best friend as his initiation, was granted the title of Darth Tyranus and was formally inducted into the Order of the Sith Lords. Sidious himself comments on Maul no longer being his apprentice in their confrontation on Mandalore, "Remember the first and only reality of the Sith, there can only be two and you are no longer my apprentice. You have been replaced." and unlike when Sidious uses platitudes or tells characters what they want to hear, I.E. telling Maul that the Jedi "Will be no match for you.", telling Tyranus, "We shall reshape the galaxy together." or Vader, "Maul was a loss, Dooku was a proton torpedo" to reassure his apprentices that they are not disposable tools to Sidious(which they all are) he backs these words up with action. He deliberately counts two Sith Lords-himself and Tyranus, he rejects Maul, he later assists Tyranus against Talzin in the Son of Dathomir arc instead of abandoning him. Sidious could not have successfully concluded his plans without Tyranus who was recruited as much for his power as for his wealth, charisma and influence as a former diplomat, Jedi and current statesman.

[@fridaynightnicktoons6885]

I wish maul and Dooku fought in the clone wars. Or him and anakin. So much potential filoni wasted. Then again,he’s bad at power levels so maybe we were spared (cough Dooku losing to fucking pirates whoreshit cough)

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

@@fridaynightnicktoons6885 yes, Filoni did have a bad habit of forgetting the Force exists in most of his "Force wielder captured by stupid scenario" plots. It would have been interesting to see Tyranus and Maul duel seriously, Maul would fight well I think but Tyranus is much more powerful, versatile and experienced and very much outclassed Maul in everything but physicality. So Tyranus would crush Maul, though it would be quite a show.

What happened to Captain Panaka after the Battle of Naboo? I’ve watched Star Wars pretty much my whole life, and I’ve seen Panaka in Episode I and Professor Eyepatch in Episode II and the Clone Wars so many times for so long and starting so early that I don’t know their names by heart nor have I checked if Panaka and Patchy are two different people (though I could’ve sworn ol’ Metal Eye introduced himself to Anakin and Obi-Wan in Episode II as if they’d never met, despite the Battle of Naboo).

[@SpookyGhostGoku]

He retires around the same time Padmé does from the position of Queen in the novel _”Queen’s Shadow”._ Partially because of his age, but also because his views had become a bit too violent for the pacifistic Naboo and I think he was just tired of and disillusioned with the NRSF. _”Panaka’s face hardened. He had opposed the ion pulse quite publicly, wanting more robust defenses, and his relationship with the queen and the politicians who supported it had never fully recovered. They were calling his decision to leave the service retirement, but the truth was that Padmé no longer trusted him as she once had, and neither did the incoming administration.”_

While the Jedi do not seek revenge, many in the Republic do. And after Operation: Durge's Lance and the Battle of Coruscant, I found that it is unbelievable that those like Tarkin did no present the idea of attack Grievous' homeworld to avenge what he did during the Operation: Durge's Lance and what he did to Coruscant. What I wanted to know is that if someone started a war for revenge, how bad will it be? I mean, if someone decided to do something like assassinating a key figure who did something that pissed the assassin off for revenge or sparked a war for revenge, what will be the consequence of both sides?
