I feel like Vader would catch Maul of guard as Vader's current form, form 2 is Maul's type of form 7's weakness. Vader is also good at blocking hits fast and striking, but Maul is still a serious fighter.
It really says a lot about Vader when two of his own troopers are randomly getting force choked and they immediately assume that it’s him. He truly is the king of team killing
I think it's just his reputation with force choking imperial officers. The comment above mentioned this but I think Vader didn't brandish his force choking on storm troopers as he did Imperial officers seeing as when he was Anakin he actually had troopers as friends and probably respects them more than the officers since they're more often doing the actual fighting along side him
@@WeebDealer Agreed but he doesn’t say why so it makes sense they’d think he does that to them too. Not like they’ve watched him choke every time and they know that
in lego skywalker saga when you play as Vader all NPCs either salut to you or shaking and running away screaming ahaha It's pretty much fun also when you doing a gameplay as Jedi and change to Vader or other sith clones or trooprs stopping attacking you, finally I can feel like real Vader :>
Uh... remember that Anakin was literally conceived by the Force and had no true father except the Force itself. Vader didn't adopt the dark side, he was LITERALLY an offspring of the dark side (and the light).
The funny part is that Maul had no idea of Anakin’s significance at that point. He just saw a slave kid and thought “you know what would be hilarious...”
@@AnotherZenThought I beg to differ, he knew that was Anakin and probably thought killing him would undo Plagues plan by accidentally creating the "chosen one" or capture Anakin to train him to be a sith.
I love how he says “myself” when maul asks what he hates so much to finish him off it really shows how how’s his actions haunt him and there’s nothing left for him but to go deeper into the dark side.
If maul can survive getting his legs chopped off and Vader can survive getting his limbs removed AND survive getting burnt, I’d say they both have a pretty good chance.
T Smith maul appeared in like only 7 episodes 2 of which he was a hologram in the clone wars which has 133 episodes and only had 4 episodes in rebels which has 75 episodes. I know he isn’t the main focus in either show but only 9 real episodes out of over 210 total is not a lot of time. Not complaining as they did great but one extra arc would have made him even better
No one gives maul no credit they only focused on the mistakes hes made. Hes dominated everyone including obi wan in pm and cw except sidious obviously. I think maul could take prime anakin and vader. Everyone rides anakin but forget he sucks at fighting people who are aggressive like him. His force abilities dont mean anything. He literally stalemated with obi wan in a force battle on revenge of the sith.
Besides the metal "Myself" moment, I love the ending. There is a pause before Vader gets up and reaffirms his loyalty to Palpatine. He clearly gets that Palps knew and was gonna let him die, but he still goes along with it, because he's the only thing he has left.
My favorite line is when a group of rebels surrond him and state that vader is surrounded by them and lord vader responds with: All i am surrounded bye is fear and dead men
Not a chance, Vader is pretty much the best sith duelist ever. Maul was only trained in Juyo (form 7) and Nimen form 6 (not mastered) Vader is a master all 7 forms, and uses an amalgamation of all of them blended into form 5. Maul fell for a quick bait in by old Obi Wan and was defeated in less than 5 seconds. He tried using the exact same technique he used to kill Qui Gon. Vader wouldn't fall for something like that. Maul would get slapped around by Vader like it was child's play.
@@highelf6086 no you didn't to use Juyo, starkiller used Juyo, so did the grand inquisitor and neither of them mastered all 7 forms. Starkiller used 3 forms.
I honestly love that Maul just sees a child running over the sands, and with little to no context in regards to said child’s identity makes an executive decision to mow him down with a speeder.
Anakin Skywalker lived as a slave his entire life, first to Watto, then to the Jedi Order and finally to Emperor Palpatine as Darth Vader. I think deep down Anakin, including the fragment of Anakin left in Darth Vader, has only ever wanted to be free. The tremendous anger and hate that makes Darth Vader so powerful is his bitterness and resentment that he can never be free.
Vader saying "Myself" only further proved to me that Anakin's entire character arc is one of the most complex, well-written and fleshed out arcs in all of fiction. Absolutely legendary character. That one line encompasses that depth so incredibly well.
@@subarashiiashi3894 I don't understand this, his prequel characterisation is true to this fact. He kills those on Tatooine to avenge the death of his mother, but really he blames himself. He hates the council for refusing him a position, but he blames himself for being unworthy. He hates Obi-Wan for being against him in the end, but really hates himself for turning those closest to him against him, including the death of Padme. Is this wildly inaccurate?
@@subarashiiashi3894 prequel Anakin is the only Anakin. He killed that role perfectly. Stop bashing Anakin's actor. He did a stellar job and you know it. Also Clone Wars is a great part of the story, but sadly the story itself is too ambitious and should have been made into like 4 episodes and not 3. 1 prequel movie beats all 3 disney vomit anyways.
Maul: “I slew Obi-Wan’s master.” Vader: “And Obi-Wan...slew you!” Even more proof that Anakin never truly died within Vader. I can just imagine a proud padawan Anakin proclaiming that his master was a total beast while smirking at Maul before he finally cut him down.
I took it more as Vader insulting Maul, or bringing him down a peg. I mean they both lost to Obi-Wan, but Maul lost even though he had the high ground .
I feel that with the new obi wan series, that line Vader says about who he could possibly hate more than his former master or enemies being himself, is going to be an insane drop
Darth Maul was taken out of the franchise way too early, would've loved to see that match up for the Sith Throne, I think Vader would've won easily still, he was the chosen. That force choke is no JOKE!..
@@RazorShultzor wasn't into Rebels much, I am happy what they're doing with Mando for sure!.great series. I think live action would've really set things off well seeing those two go at it. What is done is done.
@@georgethomas4567 Oooh I didn't think of this, besides Starkiller's Droid posing as Mail they have never faced off against each other, I'd love to see a Maul V Starkiller battle. That said I think with SW: Survivor, that is the "new" Starkiller for Disney, I do hope Sam Witwer appears somewhere in Disney cannon, either as Darth Maul or another powerful Jedi, cause I think Cal is going down that journey of being the Jedi to help bring balance to Luke's story (instead of it being Malek sadly)
@@distinguishedallureproduct879 I think it's still early to say if that was the Star Killer replacement in that trailer. But if it's a Star Killer like character I'd be totally down for it. I hate that Star Killer is no longer canon just because of how absolutely badass he was. Dude took out Vader with ease twice and in the light side ending held off the Emperor which is no easy feat considering just how powerful he is. Also I'd just want it just for the memes of them looking and sounding alike 🤣
Yeah, it's like the last spark of Anakin left in him. That hate of how he betrayed his loved ones was the sole reason he returned to the light: Luke's only purpose was to turn that hate for himself into a will to reverse it.
@@damn_longhead6938 Anakin defeated Dooku, if Vader still had his actually body he would dominated maul with no problem, but as part machine and what palps did with his suit he didnt have the movement like he did when he had a body
3:10 I like how Vader just lets the troopers talk. He seems pretty chill about it. He probably liked something about them, seeing as he ordered them two specifically to follow him. I'm surprised they were actually comfortable chatting while following Vader in the first place, they've probably gotten used to him.
I feel like there's still a little Anakin in him that always cared a little bit about his troopers. Anakin had a couple clones he considered friends, so maybe Vader feels that a tiny bit too.
Indeed. Vader had much more respect for the Stormtroopers than he did for the Imperial officers, as they (and he) were the ones more often fighting the battle on the ground rather than giving orders from a Star Destroyer. Moreover, when the two Stormtroopers plead with him to stop choking them and he says, "It's not my doing", one can't help but think, "That's better than what he did with two officers (cough cough Ozzel, Needa)."
Being Assigned to Vader, they were probably damn decent clones or troopers. And unlike the major goofy officers, these competent foot soldiers where probably pretty comfortable around Vader. Also since they're looking for The Death Star Plans, this is pre battle of endor meaning that most of the 501st are still alive (most of which died on the death star) so there are probably common imperials and clones who have been serving Vader over 15 years. I might sound crazy, but it almost seems Vader is infuriated/annoyed at the death of these troopers (some of them probably were clones)
I think it’s obvious Vader eventually greatly surpassed the power level he had on Mustafar. There’s a difference between losing much of his unprecedented natural potential and not continuing to grow after his injuries.
Not sure. Just before Mustafar he slaughtered the entire Jedi Temple which housed hundreds, if not thousands of Jedi. I don't think Vader ever achieved anything like that after Mustafar.
@@jodofe4879 simply because there weren't enough jedi to do that. Just because he hasn't done that since becoming vader doesn't mean he couldn't, he just never had the opportunity to do so. But it's accepted that vader is the absolute best jedi killer in galactic history.
Power level is directly related to body mass, so unfortunately, even though his skill progressed astronomically, he lost so much body mass from the burns that his potential was sorely limited.
@@WillStoneman1994 I agree, however, Maul could've been a shared villain like Dooku or Grievous. Anakin and Obi-wan are literally inseparable so it doesn't make sense that Anakin hasn't even met Maul.
I love how Vader hates himself so much it strengthens his use of the dark side, the light shining through only served to bring greater contrast to the dark at this point.
@@Awakeningspirit20 Here we see a spiritual yogi who thinks they know what they're talking about. There are things that are black and white, and if you have a mind for reason you'll come to accept that truth one day.

@@wildfire9280 i think buds more referring actual beliefs but with quite a bit of learning left to do or just misunderstood or misspoke what he actually means
Genuine chance he doesn't know, there is literally such thing as force engineering in the dark side (everything from impossibly large ships, weopons that can destroy worlds and time travel is canon)
I always thought the World Between Worlds in Rebels was the way to “save people from dying”. Palpatine couldn’t access it though. Needed a dark and light sided to open and close it as Ezra did. He tried to save Kanan. And Palpatine said “Show me the way, Ezra.”. Granted at that time it wasn’t about saving Padme. But yeah. Idk
I actually doubt that Palpetine knows how to perform such force actions. He killed his Master who was able to do it in his sleep before he learned everything from his master, well and Darth Plageis probably never wanted palpatine to know that much either anyways since he wanted to become a immortal Sith emperor like Palpetine later too.
Anakin and obi wan were about equal in skill with a lightsaber, just in the end anakin let his hate and anger make him over cocky, which led to his demise
@@noahrogers9031 fax. a disciplined anakin would have (sadly) wiped the floor with obi-wan in their battle on mustafar, but anakin was neither using his full skill nor was he skilled in the dark side at that point, having only just begun to taste his power. He was cocky in imitating obi-wan's combat techniques trying to taunt him rather than using his own as well as brashly rushing in at a point when a more calculated strike would have been appropriate simply because he believed too much in his own brute force alone
@@mtnentertainment3454 agreed, I even did some research on it and I found that anakin was better than obi wan, his only problem is in him being young, he was very ambitious and impatient, as compared to obi wan who was more calm and composed, he knew he wouldn’t beat anakin in a straight up fight which also he knew that anakin was far to eager and cocky, which is why he jumped to the high ground. He knew anakin would rush in and fall for his trap
@@mtnentertainment3454 but yeah if he would’ve fought a more calm and composed anakin, sadly indeed he would’ve lost, anakin was stronger, and more skilled with the saber, it’s sad the two best friends had to end their relationship in such a way
Maul: What could you possibly hate enough to destroy me? Vader: Myself *stabs himself and Maul* This is one of my favourite Star Wars comics of all time. Legends is the best. Also as the one of the biggest Darth Maul I can guarantee that Vader wins. Sorry but Maul doesn't stand a chance. Vader is just in another league.
how are they not equal? Anakin was on pair with Obi-Wan (ik he was stronger but he still lost tho), and Obi-Wan was on pair with Maul, now Maul have had much more time to practice AND Vader is not as strong as Anakin because of his poorly designed body.... I honestly think Maul would be the strongest
Anakin is stronger than vader in raw power only, remember that vader has had almost 20 years of training in the dark side up until this point. Also remember that the only reason anakin lost to obiwan is because obiwan knew how anakin fights down to the most minute detail. If obiwan and anakin encountered each other without knowing anything about one another anakin would have won any day of the week.
@@tacotruck5009 No, Vader is only about 50-60% machine. Both legs, arms, a couple internal organs and a breathing apparatus. If anything they are about even as far as machine parts go with the rebels version of Maul. However this was a version of Maul that was still 100% organic.
Yeah mauls not only cut inhalf but castrated in the process..So ridiculous that they brought him back cut in half nearly to the lungs.All organs etc gone.
I definitely agree with that. I don't think there's anybody else that hates her more than I do. She basically lied about treating the Skywalkers and the rest of the original characters right in his face, decanonizing all of the EU, making it seem like it never happened and completely destroying and disrespecting their legacy. She's a complete failure not even worthy of being President of Disney Star Wars. I'm so glad that she was taken out of presidential position because she was in no way fit for it. Worst thing of all is she treated Luke Skywalker so terrible and gave him the death that he could've avoided if he actually fought, but made him too ignorant to fight back and say see ya later kid and he never did. The whole sequel was basically her felt and the three character ruining directors that just ruined the sequels. I actually get a kick out of the new books and comics. Some of them are so ridiculous. Some are alright, but others are just beyond dumb. It's like they have no idea what Star Wars truly is in the making of books.
@@gamerfury9846 I'd say Maul suffered more loss, but Vader was in .constant suffering. From killing Padme, to being reduced to a torso to burn nearly to death, to being outfitted with uncomfortable low quality cybernetics would keep some constant pain I would think.
Could you imagine how nerve racking and scary it would be, being the pilot on a shuttle transporting both Vader and Palpatine? Knowing just one slip up and you're gonna get rekt!
Yes, but maul shouldn’t have died. I think he would have won as Vader in the end, is not as powerful as old master wise maul. Vader can bearly move, and has no speed. His strikes are powerful, but he may not be able to catch up with maul
@@alexandre007opa Yeah exactly. Dude, if Vader and Maul fought in Rebels we wouldnt have gotten that lowkey deep moment when Obi Wan took him down on Tattooine
Vader may have been physically weaker than his Anakin form, but he was a helluva lot smarter and more composed. His abilities with the force strengthened as he grew older.
It actually wouldn't surprise me if this whole thing was secretly set up as a test to test Vader by the Emperor to test Vader and strengthen his connection to the dark side.
@@zugbrugh6472 Hey what’s up guys! Just finished working on a Star Wars fan fiction! I would appreciate it if you would check it out and let me know what you think! RISE OF THE EMPIREua-cam.com/channels/ZnaIFSP5ZYUM1NzF3zXWlQ.html
i still feel like vader would win but i think it would be tough since maul is extremely agile and fast and vader is limited by his armour that's wrongly fitted
I love maul an his character especially in the clone wars where he became so much more than just a assasin but i have to admit that vader would crush him in a 1v1 sorry 4 the spelling i am from germany and i learn english in school(:
Why do you think Vader questioned his master about it? And, of course, Sidious gave him a dismissal non-answer. His apprentice is much more effective with the pain of Padme's loss driving his rage.
I feel like he always regretted turning to the dark side the moment he learned padme died, but he knew there was nothing that could’ve been done at that point.
It's ironic, because eventually, five generations later, a skywalker-born would be the first to master the art of resurrection. I guess his only wish was passed forth through the skywalker blood.
That's something Rebels did do right. Maul KNEW that Vader was the apprentice Palps had always wanted. He had also seen and experienced what Anakin could do throughout TCW. Plus, at that point, even discounting the younglings, Vader had a MUCH larger force user bodycount that Maul ever did- Jedi and Sith both. A Maul past his prime had every reason to not want to face him.
@@gabenewell3955 Not to the same extent. Sidious had Maul trained as a Sith assassin, but trained Vader as a Sith Lord. There's a world of difference between those two titles
Maul and Vader are on the same level, according to George Lucas, Dave Filoni, and Sam Witwer, the two are very close. Maul admitting defeat doesn't equate to Vader stomping him or even outmatching him in any large capacity. In fact, he would've put up a better fight against Vader than Ahsoka did, and she gave Vader a run for his money. Vader was in his prime there, and Maul was past his, as well as out of practice. It's hardly a solid example for Vader > Maul.
Love this. I've always thought that Anakin most became Vader by hating himself, and after Padme died is when he truly fell fully to the dark side. He basically gave up on life and Vader is what emerged in Anakin's absence. But when Luke showed up, he hated himself less and found a reason to live again, and Anakin resurfaced. So Vader being stronger than Maul by hating himself makes perfect sense.
I dont think he'd laugh because he knows anakin is being used by the emperor as a weapon since maul was also used as a weapon by the emperor I think he'd relate
Didn't he know it? Seeing as he knows Palpatine wants Anakin for he's new apprentice, he could have easilly put a 2 and 2 together, right? He knew Palp's plans, he saw empire rise, and a new apprentice next to emperor. Just like Ahsoka knew who Vader was, Obi Wan probably too, Maul could just as well.
Yeah Maul spent 10 to fifteen years on malacore. Loosing much of his former strength, youth, and sanity. He was arguably weaker then his phantom menace counterpart. Hell we would most likely loose to Ashoka more often then not because of his stunt in his original power and skill. Which was in my opinion during the end of the clone wars.
@@comradekolbot2220 I actually approve of that, I think after maul came back during the clone wars he was weaker due to loosing sanity etc, but at the same time we never got to see Maul’s full strength except for when he took a venator out of hyperspace using the force...that was badass...
"Myself!" (Beneath his mask and scarred by horrible burns by the events on Mustafar, a single tear runs down his cheek. He remembers Padme vividly! Close enough to touch! So full of life-! He is suddenly broken out of his reverie by the searing pain of his own lightsaber impaling him and deactivates it, allowing Maul to drop. Wishing, that he too, would have fallen. He straightens as he senses the familiar presence of his master nearby...)
Vader was limited, but as such he specifically altered his fighting style to take on more nimble opponents. Vader was likely much stronger in the force, as Maul used his uncanny fighting ability to dominate fights rather than force abilities.
Well said. Experience-wise Maul is a novice. He encountered and defeated few Jedi (canonically) whereas Vader slew countless Jedi and clearly proved himself capable against most or all fighting styles, whether that upper hand came from his force proficiency or not.
No offense, but the chosen one, will beat 99% of any jedi due plot and story line. The tomes Vader has truly been beaten by a jedi, plot or story saved him because it had to.
@Jon Valler no mean Vader from the original trilogy, but he never lost his limbs. The training and experience. The suit was designed to never let his power grow higher than Sidius. No suit means he has no limits. I'd just like to see him wreck everyone.
My dad brought me this comic book when he returned from one of his deployments in 2005. Started my true descent into the extended universe and full out obsession with Star Wars.
I will repeat forever that Obi Wan was the best Jedi ever. Not most powerful but most balanced Jedi IMO. Would have been a good master too if not the circumstances
Bro literally every bad guy had connections to Obi-Wan. Dooku was his grandson/grandapprentice. Grievous just always fought him, and maul got mutilated by obi wan, Anakin too, and sidious was threatened by obi wan for training anakin
1st time watched your vids an must say really on point! The tones used effects an best of all the non slow monotone of most sci fi narrators. I actually watched listened on regular speed instead of 1.25x lol. I'm your newest subscriber!
I have this issue. It's one of my favorites. As Vader vs. Maul, that might happen in the Bad Batch TV show. It was stated in Rebels that he could not defeat Vader alone. I had a feeling that they fought before...
Vader: You may not remember me, I was the kid running and then ducked. Maul: That was you?....wow...what happened? Vader: Mom died...Trained as a Jedi, my master tried to kill me, burned alive, my wife died, Palpatine lied to me and here we are...but I did win a pod race.... Maul: I can beat that....Was a child in a prison and picked by palpatine, trained me..Got cut in half by your former master, Fell in a pit, grew spider legs, went mad, got new legs, Palpatine thought I was dead, had a brother, took over Mandalore, but lost it, fought your former apprentice, lost and had we are...but I’m close in finding your former master. Vader: Damn, that’s pretty good...We live shitty lives. Maul: -we do, we really do.
@@d4rksonic474 Maul: I’m taking all the credit when we kill em....I was his first. Vader: That’s fine. I didn’t even like him...Hey. Did he teach you how bring people back to life? Maul: Oh that? That was his sales pitch...”I’ll bring so and so back to life if you come work for me.” Vader: I knew it!! That son of-I knew he was full of shit!!
A recurring theme with Maul's fights. He's a skirmisher / assassin, not a brawler. He does NOT do well against opponents that can last past the first few moments of a fight. Totally by design: Palps literally taught him to be like this because he was NOT considered an apprentice. Just a tool to use until he could get his hands on the apprentice he did want.
@@bragnir Except that's false and Maul was a true apprentice and destined to be by Sidious's side by the time of the Empire. Comics of Sidious raising Maul and teaching him the history of the Sith makes this clear and Maul knowing about the orchestrated war. Dooku was the tool and placehol only after Maul was thought dead.
"What could you have hated more to destroy me?" "Myself..." Holy shit I fall more and more in love with Vader's character... This is Star Wars... This is what I grew up with... This is Georges Legacy...
This is still, maybe, my favorite Star Wars: Tales story of all time. And a top tier Vader story as well. Vader's hatred for himself fueling his dark side power is just so tragic.

Not a chance, Vader is pretty much the best sith duelist ever. Maul was only trained in Juyo (form 7) and Nimen form 6 (not mastered) Vader is a master all 7 forms, and uses an amalgamation of all of them blended into form 5.

Anakin Skywalker lived as a slave his entire life, first to Watto, then to the Jedi Order and finally to Emperor Palpatine as Darth Vader. I think deep down Anakin, including the fragment of Anakin left in Darth Vader, has only ever wanted to be free. The tremendous anger and hate that makes Darth Vader so powerful is his bitterness and resentment that he can never be free.
Deep 🥺
But in the end he was finally free and with his son.
Sad to think the only time he was truly free was in his dying moments with his son.

@@subarashiiashi3894 I don't understand this, his prequel characterisation is true to this fact. He kills those on Tatooine to avenge the death of his mother, but really he blames himself.

He hates Obi-Wan for being against him in the end, but really hates himself for turning those closest to him against him, including the death of Padme. Is this wildly inaccurate?
Yessss
@@subarashiiashi3894 prequel Anakin is the only Anakin. He killed that role perfectly.
Stop bashing Anakin's actor. He did a stellar job and you know it.
Also Clone Wars is a great part of the story, but sadly the story itself is too ambitious and should have been made into like 4 episodes and not 3. 1 prequel movie beats all 3 disney vomit anyways.
@@RoryJordaan It's not inaccurate, but the dialogue was just poorly written. Nothing against Christensen.

3:10 I like how Vader just lets the troopers talk. He seems pretty chill about it. He probably liked something about them, seeing as he ordered them two specifically to follow him. I'm surprised they were actually comfortable chatting while following Vader in the first place, they've probably gotten used to him.
I feel like there's still a little Anakin in him that always cared a little bit about his troopers. Anakin had a couple clones he considered friends, so maybe Vader feels that a tiny bit too.
Indeed. Vader had much more respect for the Stormtroopers than he did for the Imperial officers, as they (and he) were the ones more often fighting the battle on the ground rather than giving orders from a Star Destroyer. Moreover, when the two Stormtroopers plead with him to stop choking them and he says, "It's not my doing", one can't help but think, "That's better than what he did with two officers (cough cough Ozzel, Needa)."
probably his iron fist
its because the empire is pretty chill. they probably joined t or something
Being Assigned to Vader, they were probably damn decent clones or troopers. And unlike the major goofy officers, these competent foot soldiers where probably pretty comfortable around Vader. Also since they're looking for The Death Star Plans, this is pre battle of endor meaning that most of the 501st are still alive (most of which died on the death star) so there are probably common imperials and clones who have been serving Vader over 15 years. I might sound crazy, but it almost seems Vader is infuriated/annoyed at the death of these troopers (some of them probably were clones)
I think it’s obvious Vader eventually greatly surpassed the power level he had on Mustafar.
There’s a difference between losing much of his unprecedented natural potential and not continuing to grow after his injuries.
Not sure. Just before Mustafar he slaughtered the entire Jedi Temple which housed hundreds, if not thousands of Jedi. I don't think Vader ever achieved anything like that after Mustafar.
@@jodofe4879 simply because there weren't enough jedi to do that. Just because he hasn't done that since becoming vader doesn't mean he couldn't, he just never had the opportunity to do so. But it's accepted that vader is the absolute best jedi killer in galactic history.
Power level is directly related to body mass, so unfortunately, even though his skill progressed astronomically, he lost so much body mass from the burns that his potential was sorely limited.

Genuine chance he doesn't know, there is literally such thing as force engineering in the dark side (everything from impossibly large ships, weopons that can destroy worlds and time travel is canon)
I always thought the World Between Worlds in Rebels was the way to “save people from dying”. Palpatine couldn’t access it though. Needed a dark and light sided to open and close it as Ezra did.
He tried to save Kanan. And Palpatine said “Show me the way, Ezra.”.
Granted at that time it wasn’t about saving Padme. But yeah. Idk
Palpatine totally set this up 😄
One theory has it that Palpatine actually used Padme's life force to save Anakin (hence why she died after giving birth to Luke and Leia)
I actually doubt that Palpetine knows how to perform such force actions. He killed his Master who was able to do it in his sleep before he learned everything from his master, well and Darth Plageis probably never wanted palpatine to know that much either anyways since he wanted to become a immortal Sith emperor like Palpetine later too.
They're both HALF the man Kenobi is. This was proven when their skin met his blade.

Anakin is stronger than vader in raw power only, remember that vader has had almost 20 years of training in the dark side up until this point. Also remember that the only reason anakin lost to obiwan is because obiwan knew how anakin fights down to the most minute detail. If obiwan and anakin encountered each other without knowing anything about one another anakin would have won any day of the week.

Worst thing of all is she treated Luke Skywalker so terrible and gave him the death that he could've avoided if he actually fought, but made him too ignorant to fight back and say see ya later kid and he never did. The whole sequel was basically her felt and the three character ruining directors that just ruined the sequels. I actually get a kick out of the new books and comics. Some of them are so ridiculous.

Why do you think Vader questioned his master about it? And, of course, Sidious gave him a dismissal non-answer. His apprentice is much more effective with the pain of Padme's loss driving his rage.

Maul and Vader are on the same level, according to George Lucas, Dave Filoni, and Sam Witwer, the two are very close. Maul admitting defeat doesn't equate to Vader stomping him or even outmatching him in any large capacity. In fact, he would've put up a better fight against Vader than Ahsoka did, and she gave Vader a run for his money. Vader was in his prime there, and Maul was past his, as well as out of practice. It's hardly a solid example for Vader > Maul.
@@danielmason4014 nope, both Maul and Vader are sith lords. In rebels, Vader was in his prime and maul was far from it
Love this. I've always thought that Anakin most became Vader by hating himself, and after Padme died is when he truly fell fully to the dark side. He basically gave up on life and Vader is what emerged in Anakin's absence. But when Luke showed up, he hated himself less and found a reason to live again, and Anakin resurfaced. So Vader being stronger than Maul by hating himself makes perfect sense.
I like how vader clarifies to the dying stormtrooper that it’s not him who’s choking him
Also him: you weren't necessary anyway
this is one of my favorite comic shorts. "what could you hate enought to defeat me???", "myself.." just an epic line

Jesus Maul would probably laugh his ass off if he found out that Vader is Anakin

I dont think he'd laugh because he knows anakin is being used by the emperor as a weapon since maul was also used as a weapon by the emperor I think he'd relate
@@relaxhedx7064 He'd probably laugh at the similarities of their paths at least
Didn't he know it? Seeing as he knows Palpatine wants Anakin for he's new apprentice, he could have easilly put a 2 and 2 together, right? He knew Palp's plans, he saw empire rise, and a new apprentice next to emperor.
Just like Ahsoka knew who Vader was, Obi Wan probably too, Maul could just as well.

“I cannot defeat Vader alone”
There’s your answer
Not really as Vader is kinda impaired and maul was a shell of his self
Maul was scared of the Power of Vader... Not his saber skills.... Maul would beat Vader in fighting skills but not in power
Can we discuss your Lightsaber Maul? It would make a good addition to my collection
Yeah Maul spent 10 to fifteen years on malacore. Loosing much of his former strength, youth, and sanity. He was arguably weaker then his phantom menace counterpart. Hell we would most likely loose to Ashoka more often then not because of his stunt in his original power and skill. Which was in my opinion during the end of the clone wars.
@@comradekolbot2220 I actually approve of that, I think after maul came back during the clone wars he was weaker due to loosing sanity etc, but at the same time we never got to see Maul’s full strength except for when he took a venator out of hyperspace using the force...that was badass...
“Myself” sent fucking chills down my spine

He straightens as he senses the familiar presence of his master nearby...)
Can't believe there hasn't been a fan made movie with these two fighting each other.
Vader was limited, but as such he specifically altered his fighting style to take on more nimble opponents. Vader was likely much stronger in the force, as Maul used his uncanny fighting ability to dominate fights rather than force abilities.
Maul was still strong with the force he wrecked the hyper drive
Mauls lightsaber form uses the force to enhance his acrobatics. Similar to Yoda
@@TheGOAT-dr1sq yh but vader is still a lot stronger go watch rebels even maul says it
Well said. Experience-wise Maul is a novice. He encountered and defeated few Jedi (canonically) whereas Vader slew countless Jedi and clearly proved himself capable against most or all fighting styles, whether that upper hand came from his force proficiency or not.
No offense, but the chosen one, will beat 99% of any jedi due plot and story line. The tomes Vader has truly been beaten by a jedi, plot or story saved him because it had to.

@Jon Valler no mean Vader from the original trilogy, but he never lost his limbs. The training and experience. The suit was designed to never let his power grow higher than Sidius. No suit means he has no limits. I'd just like to see him wreck everyone.
The first time i learned this, I was like “yup Vader is sooooo much more bad ass” he literally stabbed himself to kill Maul...Absolutely Magnificent
Thank God he was half robot :D Otherwise he would've died, too
Maul is by far the most powerful according to Legends.
@@groberti can't kill what's already dead
@@NinjaSushi2 He must have some very durable circuitry :D
My dad brought me this comic book when he returned from one of his deployments in 2005. Started my true descent into the extended universe and full out obsession with Star Wars.
Notice how the 2 most popular and epic sith both had significant connections to Obi Wan
Darth Sidious hadn't any connections to Obi Wan
They're the most popular because of the movies, I don't believe they're the most epic though
I will repeat forever that Obi Wan was the best Jedi ever. Not most powerful but most balanced Jedi IMO. Would have been a good master too if not the circumstances
@@TheKaktusPL1 haha no way palpatine Is as popular as Vader or maul
Bro literally every bad guy had connections to Obi-Wan. Dooku was his grandson/grandapprentice. Grievous just always fought him, and maul got mutilated by obi wan, Anakin too, and sidious was threatened by obi wan for training anakin
Can I just say the voice acting here is IMPECCABLE!
1st time watched your vids an must say really on point! The tones used effects an best of all the non slow monotone of most sci fi narrators. I actually watched listened on regular speed instead of 1.25x lol. I'm your newest subscriber!
"Or if they can go beyond the sequels..."
Meh... I'd rather forget those.
Wouldn't we all
Yeah, we all would.
Rey Palpatine did nothing wrong.
@@yaryar5828... Okay?
If the rumor is true and a new star wars show would replace the sequels then perhaps the galaxy will be saved
Insert “anakin skywalker is dead”
"What... could you possibly hate enough to destroy me?"
"Sand"
Sand: Why, hello there.
I have this issue. It's one of my favorites. As Vader vs. Maul, that might happen in the Bad Batch TV show. It was stated in Rebels that he could not defeat Vader alone. I had a feeling that they fought before...
I would love that ngl
Vader killed maul
I remember reading this comic. When Maul asks what do you hate more than me and Vader softly says "myself" before striking Maul down gave me chills
Maul: “what could you possibly hate so much to kill me?”
Vader: “myself”
damn, that actually kinda hurts.
Vader: You may not remember me, I was the kid running and then ducked.
Maul: That was you?....wow...what happened?
Vader: Mom died...Trained as a Jedi, my master tried to kill me, burned alive, my wife died, Palpatine lied to me and here we are...but I did win a pod race....
Maul: I can beat that....Was a child in a prison and picked by palpatine, trained me..Got cut in half by your former master, Fell in a pit, grew spider legs, went mad, got new legs, Palpatine thought I was dead, had a brother, took over Mandalore, but lost it, fought your former apprentice, lost and had we are...but I’m close in finding your former master.
Vader: Damn, that’s pretty good...We live shitty lives.
Maul: -we do, we really do.
Underrated comment
Vader: Hey, do you want, I dunno, kill Palpatine or something?
Maul: Hell yeah!
@@d4rksonic474
Maul: I’m taking all the credit when we kill em....I was his first.
Vader: That’s fine. I didn’t even like him...Hey. Did he teach you how bring people back to life?
Maul: Oh that? That was his sales pitch...”I’ll bring so and so back to life if you come work for me.”
Vader: I knew it!! That son of-I knew he was full of shit!!
I’m just surprised that a random stormtrooper has extensive knowledge of a dark side legend.
interesting that vader still values the life of his troops over everything (when they didnt disapoint him of course)
Maul really has to learn to kill his enemy before they get the upper hand.
I mean if you listen to what he said, he said Vader use the force faster than maul could cut him down.
The upper hand? Like... the high ground?
Plot armor...
A recurring theme with Maul's fights. He's a skirmisher / assassin, not a brawler. He does NOT do well against opponents that can last past the first few moments of a fight. Totally by design: Palps literally taught him to be like this because he was NOT considered an apprentice. Just a tool to use until he could get his hands on the apprentice he did want.
@@bragnir Except that's false and Maul was a true apprentice and destined to be by Sidious's side by the time of the Empire. Comics of Sidious raising Maul and teaching him the history of the Sith makes this clear and Maul knowing about the orchestrated war. Dooku was the tool and placehol only after Maul was thought dead.
Imagine seing a fight beetween Vader and Maul in live action or animated style ! It would be Incredible ! Amazing video Theory as always !
Love how vader was like "its not me bro chill" to his 2 dead troopers
Maul is one of the most popular characters as is, imagine how big he would be those original sequels treatments with him were made
"What could you have hated more to destroy me?"
"Myself..."
Holy shit I fall more and more in love with Vader's character... This is Star Wars... This is what I grew up with... This is Georges Legacy...
This is still, maybe, my favorite Star Wars: Tales story of all time. And a top tier Vader story as well. Vader's hatred for himself fueling his dark side power is just so tragic.
I really like that you narrate the comics instead of just talking about it. you do a really good job. subscribed
"You're more machine than man." Funny you say that Maul... you are just as much as a machine as he is 😐
Maybe not in this version, and even so he would still be only half. Vader is nearly 70% machine.
