Who trained Darth Maul?

If this has already been posted before elsewhere, sue me. :P

Seeing Maul in action was a treat. We all know Ray Park to be the real McCoy, yet how did he get there? I believe I have read somewhere that Sidious was supposed to have trained him, some might say "DuH!" and yet I have a hard time envisioning the Chancellor leaping and flipping about with mad saber moves.

Could it be that Dooku had something to do with that training? According to the Dark Horse EU material, the insidious Sidious and Dooku were already in cahoots 10 years before Ep II looking for the Prime Clone. Of course, 10 years before Ep II is Ep I, Darth Maul and also the Sifo-Dyas argument. Could Dooku be the panacea to those and this questions? Could Dooku be the trainer of Maul, given Dooku's already noted legendary skill with the lightsaber?

Questions/Comments/Flames welcome.

er... Darth Maul... the reason Maul pushed obi down the shaft was because he hated him after he killed qui-gon. He relaxed, breathed in the light side, and maul couldnt react fast enough (he became neo)

edit: we all wanted to see the 700 year old...whatever he is... duel against dooku... you knwo you wanted to see that. And... D'oh i forgot... um...oh ya
Vader would Own Maul. Even though Maul is cooler

Obi wan was simply stonger in the force. Its like people saying maul against darth vader from the classic trilogy, maul would win as he's a l337 dueler. The fact is its about power not how skillfull you are with a lightsaber. Thats the main reason I was strongly against the yoda dueling scene, as we all knew he was uber powerful, we didn't need to see him do it though.

Oww and BTW i forgot this is all wrong.

Darth Maul wasnt trained by either Lord Sidious or Dooku. He trained alone on public servers and trained under Silent Whisper and JAT/JAK's.

:D lol cause i am DARTH MAUL !!!! :P

Ill answer this as a TRUE DARTH MAUL fan :D

Darth Maul was trained by Lord Sidious NOT by Count Dooku.

I even believe that 10 years before EP II Dooku was still a Jedi in service of the Jedi Council he only recently before EP II turned to the Sith Order and The Dark Side.

Darthy 0wns all others the only reason why Obi-Wan deafeated him was cause he used the most powerfull side of the Force namely the Dark Side to defeat Darth Maul !!!

Maul was Sidious's apprentice, therefore he trained him, end of story. :)

Yoda trained Luke, remember all the flips and stuff he was doing on dagobah, you didn't see yoda doing that did you ? (don't say episode II, its a different time period) Therefore you don't have to be a l337 fighter to train a l337 fighter. Also, think of the mask of zorro (antonio banderas and anthony hopkins) antonio did all the work, whilst hopkins trained him :D Simple. Do not underestimate people just because they look old or frail...... Think of Mr Meogi in Karate kid :P

There is no lead that Doolu was already a student of Sidious, becouse the republic was not split up. I refer againt to the Star Wars databank:
http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/countdooku/eu.html
It is as Buzz Vader sais too hard to train 2 students. Also, the Jedi Order does not allow that a Master has more than 1 padawan. This is shown in ep 1, where Qui0Gon is willing to take anakin as his padawan, but the council does not agree, couse Obi-Wan is still his padawan.
And I agree that Sidious could had other padawans bevore the apearence of Maul. What I said is that if there are more that 2 Sith Lords, They would eventualy kill one another. It's in the nature of the dark side as you might know. Also, the danger of revealing themselves to the Jedi at that point is what I think too great. Palpatine could not take this risk. And were would he ever in the wolrd find the time to train two padawans, and be a man of the politic. As Sidious was a powerfull Sith Lord, and a wise one, I don't think that he would have 2 padawans. http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/palpatine/eu.html for more information about Palpatine.
an as you said: that this topic is meant only to stimulate thought and conversation. and I agree in that.

I'm going to take an Expanded Universe approach to it. I think Palpatine might have had other darkside adepts that he used and trained. They wouldn't have been Sith however. Training someone does seem to take an awful lot of time. So I doubt he could keep the two Sith Apprentices hidden from eachother and trained both of them. And having the two of them together, that would be a threat to him. Remember Vader offered Luke to join him and together they would defeat the Emperor. Having two Sith training together, well they could have decided they'd be better off without him. That's why the only two Sith code came into effect. The darkside corrupts and part of that corruption is to have personal power. Having only one apprentice stops that because then it becomes a waiting game "When I die you get my power." I'd bet that a few Sith Masters met their end by their own apprentices despite there being only two. The Sith aren't like Mara Jade, someone you could keep the other Hands from knowing that each one exists.

Apparently I am misunderstood.

The rule of "Two and only two Sith at once" made thousands of years ago is not in question.

What I hypothesized is that, perhaps, Sidious felt he had enough power to do away with that rule. Who is to say that Sidious did not have another Apprentice or Lord tucked away somewhere at the same time Maul was schooling Liam and Ewan?
Were I he, at least, I would carefully weigh tradition over my ability to effectively control the galaxy.

In short (funny the synopsis comes at the end of a piece) it is possible that Sidious could have had more than one Lord/Apprentice if he felt his ability to conquer might be in jeopardy.

The Jedi were not misled. It was as I said
Look at http://www.starwars.com/community/askjc/steve/askjc20000619.html

there you can fid the history of the Sith, and you will find that Darth Bane came up with this rule.

It is true that the Jedi believed that there would only be -two- Sith at a time. I am forced to ask, however, were the Jedi mislead or mistaken? After all, in Episode I, the Jedi believed the Sith extinct. How much more concerning the Sith were the Jedi mislead about?

I agree with Plo_Koon_Sai. AFter a specific moment in the war betrween Jedi and sith, the sith made a mistake and were elliminated. This was of the couse of that all the sith wanted power and fought each-other. from this point the remaining sith lord decided that there can and must only be 2 Sith. Like Mace Windu said. a Master and his apprentice. So it cannot be that Dooku trained Maul. and it must be Sidious who trainde Maul.

Well, not that it's to be taken as canon, according to Lucas. In the Star Wars RPG, Sidious carried a lightsaber of his own construction. The end of Mauls training, was a duel between himself and Sidious, one Maul nearly lost, and was berated as a failure for. The hatred this brought, along with his displeasure of himself, starvation, and the thought his master had betrayed him, made Darth Maul the killing machine we know from the time of the Naboo Blockade.
Partially again from the RPG, but also reflected in the films. The force can be used to compensate for, or even enhance natural abiliites.
