      One thing you really appreciate about Maul in these novelizations is his mixture of strength and humility. He KNOWS he's far better than the majority of Jedi in the order, but as soon as he meets a Jedi capable of holding his own, he shifts tactics and takes his opponent seriously. He doesn't get demoralized that he isn't winning, but instead channels his feelings into more power.

    I would have loved to have seen Darth Maul in Episodes 7-9. George Lucas wrote eight different scripts post ROTJ. One of them consisted of Maul rebuilding the Sith. And Luke likewise rebuilding The New Jedi Order. And in doing so, both clash. Darth Talon would have been introduced also. Aswell as Ben Skywalker and the Solo twins. But unfortunately, we got the abysmal Disney trilogy. Plus, after the trilogy, it was muted that Luke (and Obi-Wan) would redeem Maul. But unfortunately we will never see this.

      Maul should've been kept alive throughout the majority of the Prequel trilogy just to have an overarching antagonist that's not Palpatine cause what we got we already knew Palpatine was Sidious
      They should've kept that reveal until midway through Episode 3 after what Anakin did something in front of Palpatine

This is something most Disney Star Wars fails to grasp. Actual Nazis were terrifying because they combined an evil ideology with terrifying competence.

    Why did Qui-Gon rush headlong into the reactor room to fight Maul solo anyway? I'm sure he would have been aware of himself tiring, and that he would also have been at a disadvantage using Ataru in that tight space. And since the novel said he felt no hatred for Maul, then he also wasn't controlled by bloodlust at that point.

      There's three mistakes Kenobi makes earlier in the duel that would have killed him, and Qui gon has to cover for him. So I think he thought he could fight fully if he was separated from Kenobi, along with feeling his fear and wanting to protect him.

      Because for plot reasons. Thats the point of "Duel of the Fates". If Qui Gon didn't die then Anakin would not have fallen. When you start a series like Star Wars in the middle like Lucas did with New Hope, it meant that everything that happened before was set in stone. You cannot have the events of the OG movies without Obi Wan being Anakin's mentor. Obi Wan even says that the circumstances of Anakin coming to him were complicated in Episode 6 iirc (when Luke went back to Yoda and questioned him and Ben about Anakin).

    this view of the jedi as the saviors that never showed up would have made Maul a superior antagonist than Dooku, in every way Anakin is the luck brat that got spoon fed everything Maul wanted. Anakin was even the apprentice that Sedious truly wanted, where Maul was just an assasin and a tool. Maul could have used this connection to much more effectively bring out Anakin's hatred, being more relateable so their connection through the force would be stronger through a sense of kinship for the darkness in both of their hearts. Maul would have also been e better rallying symbol for the outer rim and separatist worlds because of this. a Jedi seasing to be the senate's lap dog is one thing but someone who's lived through suffereng they lived through, were going through, or that they feared could come an any moment is much more compelling. him showing Anakin the path he could have been forced to walk but also the power that suffering provided would also fit natively with these 2.
    this would have also made Obiwan's views of Maul more complicated, as he would eventually sense this kinship and that the boy his master wanted him to train was slipping away at times through something he laments that he will never truly understand.

    • @Loku242
      @Loku242 6 місяців тому +21

      He kinda succeeded in proving that point without the arrogance, Qui-gon did prove himself to be a better jedi because he rejected the politics' influence on the jedi order, even when it meant going against the jedi code itself. He believed that being a better jedi meant following the will of the force above all else. As a result, he was the first of only three jedi in that entire jedi order to be trained to manifest consciousness after death. He was even the one to train Yoda and later Obi-wan. He did prove himself to be the best jedi's jedi, not to prove a point, but to simply be who, what, and where the force needed him to be to ensure the galaxy is better for it. None in the jedi order lived up to that, instead they died stuck in the past, in stagnation, and in dogmatic tradition, which included being in bed with all things Republic politics.

    It’s interesting that Maul regrets playing tricks on Qui-Gon, yet tried the exact same move against Obi-Wan in their final duel on Tatooine. Obi-Wan suckered Maul into using the same move by shifting to Ataru and then sliced Maul right down the middle in a duel that lasted three blade strokes. I guess Maul’s hatred of Obi-Wan prevented any similar sort of respect for the padawan turned Jedi Master.

    The Force actively (talks to) “directs” Qui-Gin, albeit, in obscure ways. We can determine this from the novels.
    Example 😂: Qui straight up blitzed & murdered unaware enemies, because he felt the Force needed him to (to either create Balance, or, possibly to stop said being from doing something evil. Lol he never knew, but didn’t question the whim either).
    So! *Anyone else convinced that he knew he was going to die?* In the end, there was no fear, he simply told Obi-Wan to train Anakin.

    Maul was unstable while still an infant on Dathomir. It didn't help when Mother Talzin dropped him off to a Sith Lord.
    When Maul dueled Qui-Gon he knew he wasn't a full Sith. He was hoping to one day earn enough respect to be given the opportunity to be the main apprentice to Palpatine, once he killed off his master. Maul suspected there were other apprentices, so it wouldn't be an automatic promotion. Defeating a Jedi Master would go a long way towards Sidious making him a true Sith.

    If Qui-gon Jinn and Darth Maul's physical strength are equal that means the strikes will cancel out, yet Quigon is basically using a sword against a versitile staff.
    Qui-gon's strikes are very well coordinated and graceful yet his muscle strength is similar.
    In realswordsmanship a longsword can block a greatsword for even a guy who is 173 cm can block a muscular dude using a greatsword; it's the good and balanced structure that makes a solid bracing.
    So Qui-gon Jinn swung the blade almost hitting maul, yet maul was injured beforehand?

    @bullvine1974 5 місяців тому

    Interesting. It also backs up my personal fan theory. I feel like my theory is absolute and makes perfect sense. I dunno if I've told you it. I theorized that after Jinn found anakin and believed for sure that he was the chosen one; and then the council ruled against his beliefs and denied the approval for anakin to be trained, this made Jinn go full wisdom mode. He would have felt that he's right and thought of a way to have anakin trained, not just on the side. With as wise as he was, he would have snuffed out that the sith he saw, Maul, wanted him dead so that he couldn't uncover Sidious and also train anakin. About this same time lines up perfectly with when in Canon, Jinn had learned about and started training on how to become a force ghost after death. Then he got the grand idea, "if I allow this sith to kill me like they planned, I can make obi wan promise me to train anakin. The council will not want to lose obi wan, so they will honor this promise and allow obi wan to train anakin, and he will bring balance to the force.". Now take all that and think about it. Qui Gon could definitely have beaten Maul. He controlled that whole fight, he had Maul going "oh shit" back stepping and dodging, getting him into a corner where he knew obi wan would do better in because he knows obi wan's style. Then he slowed down, and attacked a very specific way for Maul to take the opportunity to stick him that way so it wasn't an immediate death and then had obi wan make that promise. What do you think? Good cool theory or nope, that's it, we're accepting it as fact 😆

    That moment in Episode 1 where Qui-Gon disengages from combat and meditates while Obi-Wan is shown to be sweating, and uneasy was perfect. As soon as the beams turned back off, his eyes immediately opened, and he was back on the attack again. It showed the miles and miles of difference in a Jedi Padawan (not even a Jedi Knight yet), and a long time Jedi Master. To be able to remain centered while facing a Sith Lord in the first confrontation in 1000 years shows what it really means to be a fully complete Jedi Master. Qui-Gon wasn't even afraid of the possibility of dying. The Force was truly his ally. He fought with no hatred, or malice. It was all business for the protection of a galaxy which was known to be better off without the Sith.

    Darth Maul was a far younger and more athletic duelist. Zabraks also have greater strength, resistance to pain and a redundant heart & circulatory system.
    Qui-Gon’s greater skill and Maul’s overconfidence were the determining factors that led to the stalemate on Tattooine.

    Im not sure i can agree. If indeed Maul did regret how he killed Qui-gon, he wouldn't have used the exact same move against Obi-wan in their final duel. In the end, it was Maul's rage and arrogance that ended him. If he had any regret about how he killed Qui-gon, it was brief. I did thoroughly enjoy the video though.

    Darth Maul was better than them, Qui Gon..slower and was taken out easily when one on one with Maul. Maul was better than Obi Wan but..showed a flaw with the darkside, when met with calm and a lack of hate there was no darkside conduit to further initiate an attack and left him open to get cut in half..it was the force in the end.

      ⁠@lordbalthosadinferni4384​​⁠ I haven’t looked into Legends at all but it was obvious after reading the original comment that level eight is superior to level seven while high, mid, and low are subranks where high is superior to mid which is superior to low (you know, like nearly every ranking system that has ever existed). Even if you were confused whether the system increased or decreased in rank with higher numbers, he clearly restates what the power levels mean in terms of combat prowess in the second half of his comment.
      If you thought it was difficult to understand, instead of going on a pompous tirade about his grammar and punctuation, you could have just asked for clarification. Besides, this is a UA-cam comment section, not a master’s thesis. It’s generally not expected to write in picture perfect English in a casual setting like this.

    Question to Star Wars fans. We know Form 4 does not age well and has many weaknesses if it cannot overwhelm their opponents quickly, but if Qui-Gon was in his prime, would he defeat Maul? Would he be as centered in his 30s like he was in his 50s?

  • @11338325
    @11338325 6 місяців тому +1

    Okay, here are the problems I have in this video:
    1.) In your video "Why Qui-Gon Meditating TERRIFIED Darth Maul - Star Wars Explained" you said that in his duel against Qui-Gon on Tatooine, Maul sensed in Qui-Gon that here was a jedi could potentially beat him. Yet in this video, you say that Maul is the superior combatant to both Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. So which one is it? You can't contradict yourself.
    2.) You say that Maul became "a hungry, rabid dog." Yet we all know Maul's force abilities and his skill with the lightsaber. His other skills include this:
    Due to his Zabrak heritage and his intense training at the hands of Darth Sidious, Maul was able to withstand immense amounts of physical pain.
    While usually preferring to wield a lightsaber, Maul had sufficient skill with a blaster. At age fifteen, he managed to hit his fellow students, Fretch and Hubnutz, in both their right arms with a stun blaster during a training exercise. When Maul grew older, he shot a Nikto in the forehead and squarely hit a Phuii in the neck in his raid against Black Sun. Maul was highly skilled in espionage, surveillance and tracking, being used primarily as a covert operative during his apprenticeship. While not the grand schemer Lord Sidious was, Maul was highly intelligent and a competent political and military strategist, gaining control of Cog Hive Seven's gangs, conquering Mandalore, and creating a powerful criminal empire over short stretches of time.
    Maul had also mastered the use of the lanvarok.
    Sidious also gave Maul the powerful Sith Infiltrator Scimitar which contained a cloaking shield generator. This vehicle was developed by Raith Sienar, the man whose company would later develop the TIE/LN starfighter for the Empire, and Darth Tenebrous, who had trained Darth Plagueis.
    Maul had learned to use Galactic Basic Standard, but like his master before him, he was also taught on how to read, write, and utter out the words of the ancient Sith tongue. He could even speak Huttese and Twi'leki.
    So it's fair to say that Maul was NOT a hungry, rabid dog.

    Qui-Gon is the perfect maverick and unpredictable grey jedi, serving and following the will of the force and no surprise that he would surprise Maul in respect of the challenge as a saber opponent that he will face in his life and ends up having to beat him with a cheap trick and surprise, that seems dishonourable to a warrior like him as he cannot outlast him in a stand-up duel..

As although they are certainly very in tune and in touch with the living force and light as a whole They do what they think is right and not following the commands of the council, which was being wise in face of the order's stagnation, still makes them rogue and operating beyond the orders constraints and support.
