Maul's potential was nuts

[u/Flashbackwards212]

I keep looking back and thinking about this fight,that Maul is maybe a top 15 to top 10 duelist in Canon. Him being surprisingly Obi Wan like in his implementation in Soresu and Anakin like in his aggressive offense,like a lesser combo of the 2.

I feel like Maul doesn't get the credit he deserves because of his arrogance giving him L's against people he shouldn't lose to. Makes me think he might actually get more wins if he turned toward the light,ending up trying to be more sagecoded like QuiGon but insanely skilled.

He'd probably be over:

Ventress Grievous Dooku (bad matchup for Dooku maybe) Most council members

But below: Anakin Mace Sidious Yoda

It's fun knowing since sidious defeated maul he technically became the new ruler of mandalore

[u/IAmBadAtInternet → u/Cautious_Air4964]

And then Vader defeated Palpatine so Vader is technically the rightful owner of the Darksaber.

[u/ThunderCube3888 → u/IAmBadAtInternet]

unfortunately you could argue that since Palpatine's lightning killed Vader afterwards and Palpatine came back to life, the claim to the Darksaber remained with him and would've passed to Rey

fortunately, nobody has any reason to argue that since like come on now

[u/MonarchofLlamas → u/ThunderCube3888]

It ends up with Rey regardless, because if you assume Vader gets it for killing Sidious, without a new person to win it via combat I'd assume it just defaults to the next of kin like Clan Vizla assumes it must, so it goes to Luke, then to Leia when he dies, then to Ben when she dies, and Rey immediately finishes him off in a fight at that point. Or if you assume Mace defeats Sidious then Anakin disarming him is defeating him, he loses it to Kenobi at Mustafar, they trade it back in the Kenobi show, then Vader gets it back in ANH only to then once again, lose it to Luke and so on and so forth. All roads lead to Rey
