Obi LET vader win. It was pretty obvious as Obi lifted his saber.

Forgot that :D

And both of them are very old. NOt much action in that fight.


It's more because of the lack of special effects than the fact that they were old, I think. :P

Ok. Well, lets put this into perspective. Luke would beat Obi. I mean, seriously. Obi was killed by Vader. And Luke held off Vader... and then, well, kinda, killed him. Not exactly. Vader killed himself and then Anakin killed Palpy. (come on, you know what im talking about. Ep 4/6) Then, not withstanding, Jaiden Korr would own vader, and maul. Think about it. This is how it goes. It doesnt matter whos stronger or better, just who lives.
Maul killes Quigon.
Obi kills maul.
Ani killes Dooku.
Ani kills the Jedi in the temple.
Ani and Obi tie, with Obi defaulting.
Yoda and Palpy fight, with Palpy defaulting.
Vader kills Obi.
Vader and Luke tie, with Vader defaulting.
Vader and Luke tie again, with Luke defaulting.
Palpy shock therapy's Luke, with Palpy defaulting until
Ani kills Vader (good side beats dark side, with Luke's help).
Ani tosses a shock-therapying Palpy over the edge to his death.
Ani dies.
-flash to JK2-
Kyle and Tavion tie, with Kyle defaulting.
Luke and Desann fight, with Desann defaulting.
Kyle kills Desann.
-jk3-
Jaiden and Aroura (sp?) fight, Jaiden defaulting.
Jaiden and Rosh fight, Jaiden defaulting until Tavion arrives, and messes it up.

-light path-
Jaiden Kills Aroura.
Jaiden and Tavion fight, Jaiden defaults when Ragnos posesses Tavion.
Jaiden kills Ragnos.

-dark path-
Jaiden kills Rosh.
Jaiden kills Aroura.
Jaiden kills Tavion.
Jaiden and Kyle fight, with Jaiden defaulting (but runs away).

Therefore, Jaiden could have killed Maul. :D

>_<

What do i mean by defaulitng? well, with the happy exception of the final Jaiden vs kyle, it means that the person who defaults technically wins the fight, without killing the other person, or is still willing to fight when the other person runs away. In the last one, Jaiden beats kyle down, gets him stuck, then runs away. So kyle can't fight, and Jaiden runs away. :)

So, that being said... Jaiden would have destroyed Maul.


As much thought as you put into this... Obi LET vader win. It was pretty obvious as Obi lifted his saber. As well, Vader did not kill Obi. Obi turned into a Force Spirit before Vader's saber touched him. This is further proven by the fact that Obi, a master of Soresu, definetely would not have let his guard down like that unless it was deliberate.

This all depends on when the persons would duel eachother.. No Movie Luke would not have beated young Obi, He would have killed Old obi tho.

Ani would never have killed Palpatine if Pal not was using lightning on Luke, Ani didnt defeat Pal either, he threw him down in a hole...

And in the JA games Kyle must have been the victory at the end of the game, and same thing with the guy you call Jaiden (Real name is Jaden).
If he lost the fight you would just have to return to the saved game. There is nothing that says that Jaden actually was better than Kyle and Tavion.

Your post is WEIRD!

You misinterpret what I said. Obi beat Maul with luck. I highly doubt someone of Maul's ability would forget Qui-Gon's saber, as you said. So, when Obi comes up and cuts Maul in half, he is extremely lucky that Maul didn't react in time. Having experience with a bit of swordfighting myself, I know that when I have the adrenalin pumping through me, I won't let some guy jump behind me and cut me in half. So, Obi was lucky that he caught Maul off-guard at that moment - because Obi was attacking Maul, not vice versa.

This is different from Obi .vs. Anakin, because Anakin was attacking Obi, and Obi knew exactly how to exploit the weakness. Against Maul, however, Obi had the disadvantage, and it was by luck, or the will of the Force, that he managed to cut Maul cleanly in half with such a precise blow, without Maul even reacting.


OK, but i still think ani would beat quigon.

I'm sorry, but I didn't realise that this was a movie-talk-thread.. You say Maul had to resort to bash Qui-Gon on the chin. You say it like it's not allowed, or like it would be somekind of exploiting in a game? :D The same style you commented on another thread, with Palpatine using too much Force Lightning, like it would be JK3 full force and you're loosing 'cause you can't utilize everything in the game as well as another person can? :D That's funny..

You also say you only believe in visual evidence? Like if something isn't shown in the movies then you don't believe it..? Like Anakin wasn't shown killing the younglings, you don't believe it? Of course it's in George Lucas' script and plot writing, which of course the books are based on too.. Strange..

Peace out..


Um, the books arent based on his script. It is just what the author feels like writing. I could write a book about star wars and itd be just as official as anyone elses.

The books cannot be canonical. My comment on Palpatine abusing Force Lightning was a joke, if you did not realize :P Books are written from a point of view, they do not convey the unbiased truth. If you and I were to write a book on the Palpatine and Yoda fight, we would have conflicting stories.

You continuously refer to the books and comics. You said that the books say that Maul killed with precision. But that is from the author's point of view. To me, he may have just been too inhuman to have any remorse.

Anakin was shown to kill the younglings, because it was confirmed in the movies. You're taking what I say at literal value, which does not make sense. I believe in visual evidence not as in EXACTLY WHAT I SEE, but in the fact that it is what happened in real, flesh form, not in ink and paper, so as to achieve an unbiased opinion and view of what happens. And in the movie, it does show Anakin killing the younglings. Obi himself sees it on the holorecords. Lucas' script is merely what will happen visually in words. I'm talking about the emotions expressed. In the script, it will say something like "Maul stabs Qui-Gon." In a book, it would say something like "Maul, seeing his opening, feels his anger flow through him, knowing he is more skilled than Qui-Gon, and forces it all into the weak Jedi."

My reference to Maul bashing Qui-Gon on the chin was showing that Maul had to resort to his weapon advantage over Qui-Gon. If Maul did not use the hilt-bash, Qui-Gon could have held off Maul long enough for Obi to come in. That has nothing to do with utilizing everything you have. Maul had a blasted staff, of course he could hilt bash, that was his only advantage over Qui-Gon. If he did not have the staff, and dueled with one saber, then the outcome would have been different. Qui-Gon could not have done the hilt-bash to Maul, so Maul had the unfair advantage. It was not a fair fight.

Maul was a beast, a skilled one, but still nothing more than a beast. That's why he lost - he still had the primal instinct to enjoy the kill, as opposed to just getting it done.

With that in mind, you should really check out some of the comics/the darth maul book.. Maul finishes each kill with ice-cold precision.. He is obsessed with killing Jedi, because that is his life purpose.. That's why he enjoys killing THEM, but nonetheless he doesn't stand around and enjoy killing someone Sidious commands him to.. In one comic he wipes out a small army of people.. It was a meeting between some underground bosses, and they ofcourse had body guards.. like 10 each..
And Maul walks in, announces he's gonna kill them all, and then goes to work, taking probably less than 3 minutes to finish the job.. And there were even a witch of dathomir (?) as one of the bodyguards.. Those are a sisterhood who knows how to use the force.. She sends out force lightning and Darth Maul just stands and chokes her cold..

So I wouldn't classify Maul as a beast who just kills and then enjoys the kill with all his heart.. I would say he's a perfect killing machine, with no doubt in mind in any case.. Nobody's perfect, not even in the Star Wars galaxy.. And Maul's animalistic features only come out when he enjoys killing Obi-Wan.. Then again, to face the fact.. That was the last he enjoyed.. :D

The only drawback Maul had was his arrogancy, just like Anakin.. But when you read the book about Darth Maul, it seems impossible for Obi-Wan to beat him like that.. Because even though Maul's is constantly getting surprised in the book, he always has a backup plan/move..
There's this one "scene" in the book where he fights with a Jedi master, can't remember her/his name.. And Maul leaves openings in his defense on purpose just to use them and see how good the Jedi is.. He TESTS them with the risk of his life, and my god he is good enough to do that.. After reading the book you'll probably have another picture of Maul altogether.. And I suggest you do, because you will see how hard it would be for Obi-Wan to really "pwn" Maul like that.. Maul would notice it, and catch his legs off like Obi-Wan later did to Anakin in Ep3..

Peace

dude go watch ep1 again, when maul turns around 2 face him his saber isnt even on guard but holding it out and away from his body. if maul didnt show off after he shoved obi in the hole maul would've pwned him by choppin off his fingers or sumthin. and seriously u believe that maul would have thought of qui gon's saber? dude if he had he would've kicked hsi saber down teh hole as well.

maul was caught off guard simple as that.

Qui-Gon got killed by a move called the backstab:

...which equals the effectivness of a blue stance swing in jk3 =P

But remember, in the movies, you touch the lightsaber, and whatever you touched it with comes off. in the games, you take a full DFA and live. so if i backstab you, even if its the weakest move, your still dead :o

Obi didnt own maul.. but he made him pay for being a cocky man/thing.
