Medicom Darth Maul

[DarthNeil]

nooo , i understand perfectly what they are talking , why write what you read, i builds in the film, and the film shows me ( in an imaginary fight ) that luke with their "poor" skills could not touch maul !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to lie down now... I've got a headache.

(IMO) The only reason Vader didn't win in ROTJ was because he was holding back because of the Father son thing. But yeah Maul would have made easy work of Luke. And Vader vr Maul, Vader would have taunted him till he cried.

Done Vader vs Maul as well...Vader obviously wins...but almost doesn't...

He's quite chatty in that comic...I recommend it, as does everyone else...it was on the list of best EU moments...

Maul: "what could you possibly hate so much to have such power?"
Vader: "Myself."

since we're discussing an EU fight. Let's look at it this way.
It depends as to which luke we're talking about.
ANH Luke would not have lasted 5 seconds.
Luke from ESB is little better than a boy with his fathers sword. He's pompus, thinks he's invincible, and has little idea as to what he's doing. Vader whooped his ass, and Maul would have as well. At this point, He's just as aragant as his father was when he fought Obi-wan.
Jedi Luke is a little older, and a little Wiser, tempered by expierence and practice, He's atleast On Par with Obi-wan from Phantom menace, if not ATOC, in Skill, and patience. Maul Fighting Luke from ROTJ would be a fair fight, and Could go either way.

A little wiser? Not wise enough if you take in account the mistake he made in Jabba's palace. Don't tell me that was planed! And he only survived the confrontation with the Emperor, because his father saved him.
In 'The Phantom Menace' Maul's character was not developed enough to leave a lasting impression, still, I think that if it came to a clash between RotJ Luke, and TPM Maul, Maul would carry the trophy home. He's a well trained Sith. Where as Luke didn't get the training he could have had: had he started the training as a 'youngling', he would beat Maul for sure.

I'm not a Maul fan but Shadow Hunter is one of my favorite EU books!

Grand Master Skywalker From the EU Is the most powerful Jedi who ever lived, He'd stomp maul in a heartbeat. ...

My knowledge of the EU doesn't go that far, so I have to take your word for it. I've read a lot, mainly the novels, but never about Grand Master Luke.

Alright! That's it!!

Not sure what mistake in jabbas palace you mean( Unless you mean the rancor pit), But No, I'd say that Jabbas palce did inn a way go as planned, but not exactly.
First things first, by a little wiser, I mean more in the effect that he understands his limits, and is not going to charge in underestimating his opponent. this is showcased by how he handles himself in jabbas palace.
Luke planned as much as he could, made a few contingincy plans ( R2 carrying his saber, Lando arrivivng first, etc) And from there just kinda rolled with the punches. He was, To a point , able to predict and plan jabbas palace, but not entirely.
As the the Death Star Fight, Yes, His father saved him, But Luke took a calculated risk that his father would do it. He could Very Eaisly Have Killed his fatther ( He allmost does) and then Cut down Palpatine, "winning" the fight in a traditional way. But ddoing so, would hve meant turning to the dark path, and in so, he would also be loosing more than he would win. (IMHO)Palpatine was banking on Luke Breaking the same way his father did after Mace's death, if He killed Vader.

But insted of Killling the two of them, Luke Stops just short of killing his father, and appeals to the humanity in him, Wishing his fthers redemption, risking his owm life in the process.

It would be an incredable fight, And Maul Suffers from the same fatal flaw that al sith have, their overconfidance in their own superiority. As long as Luke can take advantage of that, He can win.
Honestly? My Money's on Luke.

O.k., you made your point! I don't think that the sith's weakness is their overconfidence. It's their lack of friends. You know, people one can trust. They are loyal for just as long as they benefit from it. When they get the chance, they double cross everybody, even their allies, for ... unlimited power...? They dominate by intimidation and terror. And in the end, they have no one to watch their back. Perhaps they are to "overconfident" like you say, to see it.

Yes... but that's exactly what I'm saying: all the Sith I know of (movies & EU) have ++++ed over their master... They don't even trust each other. They must lead a lonely life.

One of the Reasons Darth Krayt Is so awesome in my Book Alice,. is that He realizes that the rule of two, while it served at the time, is a mistake. He does away with it, and Forms A Cabal of Sith. Treating them Like Mideval Knights, and they all know that eventualy one of them Will Rize up and slay him, when the time is right, having a group makes him more cautious, and also lends strength to the group, mking them a more formidable opponent.
if you've never Read the Star Wars: Legacy comic series, I Realy Suggest you do so. They're some of the Best SW EU comics around. I think Even Chavez, with his vilan-centric Mindset, Would Like the Hero, Cade Skywalker.

I mean Come on, He's a Space Pirate, A Bounty Hunter, A Failed jedi, Addicted to Deathsticks, and is More scum than Lando, ANH Han, and Boba Fett Combined. He Does try to be a good guy, but usualy ends of stryaing a bit
Case in point,
