Obi Wan could not, in ANY way shape or form, contend with Sidious in a fight. That's literally why Yoda refused to allow Obi Wan to confront Sidious either on his own or even WITH Yoda, because Yoda knew Obi Wan had no chance at lasting any longer than the other Council members. This is made quite clear in Revenge of the Sith, plus every other lore we have on that specific topic. As for why Maul began in Soresu, it likely was just simple fear. Adding in some unscripted, unshown mental thought of Obi Wan and somehow concluding that he's why Maul began with Soresu is a large jump of mental gymnastics. Obi Wan may have been the master of Soresu, but he didn't invent it nor own it. Maul was capable of every Lightsaber form. He doesn't need to think of Obi Wan to use Soresu. Ffs.
@@badnarratorr Hi! There is a unfinished extended scene of the duel where Maul pins Sidious to the wall. Some fans claim that the scene is canon. Matt Martin confimred that in one of his tweets, but he himself stated that no random statements from creators count as canon. So what's the matter with that scene?Is it canon?
Bro Sidious was a real hater during this fight. Maul was literally like "Here take the planet I don't want no smoke." And savage didn't even know wtf was going on. But nah palps just got straight to sliding. And then the disrespect too, Palps was out here acting like they took his lunch money, Savage didn't even do anything to him and Sheev just flexing on him. Maul puts up a decent fight just to get ragdolled and tortured then cast aside. Sidious just did this to show maul he could pull up and beat his ass whenever he wanted and killed his brother right in front of him
Sidious also wanted to see if Maul was worth taking on again. Killing Savage was motivation, that’s why he waited for Maul to see it. He wanted Maul to come at him with everything, to see what he was capable of. If Maul had done better, it would have ended differently.
@@silvussol8966 thats completely wrong tho. He captured Maul for the sole reason of luring out Talzin. He couldnt have given a sh*t about Maul. He literally sends a single Inquisitor to hunt him down after order 66, thats how little he cared

Palpatine: Some little shits are messing with my plans... Looks through his schedule. Palpatine: I think I've got a good couple of hours to spare. Let's get a workout in.
I love when Palpatine dodges Savage’s attacks his robes move as if he’s a spirit and as he’s dodging the attacks effortlessly it’s almost as if Savage is fighting nobody by how silent and slow Palpatine is
I remember when I first saw this moment in the Clone Wars, I was beyond hyped. For context, my favorite character in SW is Palpatine, and I went on this huge rabbit hole prior to this moment about his entire lore (origin, lifestyle, accomplishments, everything) and when it got to this point, for me... it was better than the last 30 minutes of Episode 3. And that says a lot. I will forever cherish this Clone Wars episode. Such great writing, and even greater choreography.
Not to mention that savage's horn attack killed a jedi master while not having any effect on palps. it's like even his skin is more powerful than a normal person
1:00, Maul and Savage being mere “punching bags” to Palpatine is pretty accurate. 0:54, Ignoring everything else that happens in this encounter, probably the most important detail in it is Palpatine first telekinetically dragging them against the wall and then just…letting them go so they can draw their weapons and prepare to fight, but not because he got exhausted or distracted like other Force-sensitives are shown doing when exerting the same kind of effort to pull off similar feats with their psychic abilities. He is so skilled and powerful as a Force-sensitive that he could have ended this fight multiple times throughout it and he makes that clear with his very first attack, but after years of playing the politician, working in offices and meeting rooms, concealing his nature as a Darksider so well that he doesn’t even exhibit any of the physical symptoms of it like the trademark yellow eyes, in this moment, he has a rare opportunity to just cut loose and use his power freely, to indulge his urge to dominate others and channel the Dark Side knowing the Jedi are too busy and distracted to notice this one little skirmish amidst the chaos of war around them with their clairvoyance. The fight is a game, 3:20, one where he gets to extract every last ounce of torment he can from his quarry, only putting a pin in it when he gets bored enough (2:26, and slightly exhausted) that the stops playing with his food and claims his prize, Maul’s incarceration. 1:32, Savage did manage to stab Adi Gallia with his horns, so he wasn’t necessarily being stupid trying that on Palpatine, it’s just that Force-sensitives can boost their attributes with their powers and Palpatine has a way better Force connection than Adi would’ve so, he would’ve had an easier time making himself durable (or just telekinetically shielding himself) enough to not get injured by that attack. 3:23, But what’s worse for Savage is he was literally enhanced with that green Force ichor from Dathomir, turned into the Force-sensitive equivalent of a super soldier, made strong enough to fight masters and even armies of droids…only for Palpatine to do ballet around him, skewer him while his brother could only watch and fling him off a balcony like garbage.
You know Maul was terrified when he first ignites his lightsaber and starts in a form 3 (defensive) stance. Man knew he'd have to hold on for dear life 😂
The Shadow Conspiracy novel shows just how well Darth Maul was actually performing. Sidious had to pounce on the smallest slip in Maul’s defense, and then amplify his power as the duel progressed. Couple this with Maul striking Sidious an equal number of times or more, alongside his performance in the deleted scenes, and we can understand why he was one of the most powerful Sith Lords in EU history. Additionally, Maul was one of the peak sword masters in Sith history, rivaling and surpassing the likes of Darth Plagueis at only 22 years old. Had he achieved his full potential, as we see closer in the canceled Legacy game where he takes on the entire One Sith, Maul would’ve been a MONSTER. Well surpassing Sidious.
In the end it wasn't their mastery of the lightsaber that decided the fight but the mastery of the Force - and Palpatine eclipsed Maul in that regard so much it's not even comparable.
@@LordSerion Lightsaber mastery is directly correlated with Force abilities and power. For example, Force Barrier is an exceptionally crucial tool for any Jedi or Sith so that they aren’t ragdolled by their opponents. Force Enhance Speed/stamina/endurance/etc is also fundamentally important. Given that Darth Maul was scoring equal hits on Sidious as well as the novel stating that while Sidious was amplifying his power in the latter portion of the 1v1, alongside the novel stating he had to pounce on the smallest opening in Maul’s guard, it showcases just how strong Maul is in the Force. In fact, I’d even argue Sidious conceded that he couldn’t beat Maul in a duel and thus resorted to the Force. This is also a Sidious with 12+ years of power growth AND the Banite power amp from Plagueis and the entire lineage from Darth Bane. Darth Maul had one year to get back into the groove. Despite the massive advantage Sidious had in this regard, Maul still competed at Sidious’ level. And that should absolutely be commended. The deleted scenes, which were only deleted to save time to fit the Cartoon Network runtime, also depicts Darth Maul holding his own in a Force clash with Sidious. We also have statements that Savage performed better than the entire B Team in ROTS, and we know Maul is vastly superior to Savage. Maul isn’t a chump, and can certainly hang with the likes of Sidious.
@@AwFiddleStickss I think that greatly overestimates Maul. He held his own for a while and it's absolutely commendable but he's nowhere near the ballpark of Palpatine's full power.
@@LordSerion I disagree. Could he have won on Mandalore? Maybe with a stronger ally than Savage. Could he have surpassed Sidious? Absolutely. His performance stacking up better than several High Council Jedi Masters simultaneously places him above almost everyone in the era. He can challenge Sidious, clearly. Even Sidious calls him a rival, and Filoni stated that Darth Maul was getting “a little too powerful.”
@@AwFiddleStickss And yet as we have seen here he was quickly overpowered once Sidious went all out. Maul surpassing him is an impossibility, only the chosen one could have done that.
In a deleted part of the fight that was cut because of money; Palps uses his Force lightning on both of them then Maul breaks free and surprisingly holds Palpy against the wall with the Force. Palpatine struggles at first but then dropped the chandelier on Maul to distract him so he could break free.
Because Maul could never overpower Palps. The deleted sequence is a minimal amount of screen time if they wanted to show Palps struggling. But they didn't. It wasn't just money.
@@sodaman8888 yet it goes completely against the rest of the tone of the fight. If they wanted to show Palpy struggling. That did not have to be condensed in this one scene. If the scene is un-aired, it's not canon. Only bottom feeder Matt Martin tried to dispute that in twitter replies, the same guy who says that canon can be whatever you want it to be. Would love to see where Filoni called it canon. Cad Bane still has the hole in his head despite the deleted duel between him and Boba not being aired , and yet - has never been alluded to or implied even once so far that the deleted duel caused that injury to Cad Bane in current canon. They could've easily mentioned or implied it in BoBF, but they didn't. The "all deleted scenes = canon" blanket statement is nonsense as there are several deleted CW scenes that make absolutely no sense and break continuity.
Yeah, this fight has a few references from the prequel trilogy from what I noticed, such as the way Sidious kills Savage is similar to how Maul killed Qoi Gon Jin, being that he disorients him and does a backwards stab Maul's "Obi Wan" stance might've also been because he was taking a more defensive form for this fight, similar to Obi Wan, cause of the fact Sidious terrifies him, but after Savage dies he becomes a lot more angry and goes on the offensive, which is also similar to how Obi Wan went on the offensive in anger when Maul first killed Qoi Gon It's honestly one of my favorite lightsaber duels, it's also one of the only few times we see Sidious partake in a duel as well
@@Benjifan2000 I mean, I don't disagree with the fact that he is way badass in all situations but he lost twice. The first one was because of plot but it was awesome, it shows that he can't predict intentions that come from good feelings but also that there wouldn't be any other ways to stop him. The second time was also because of plot but it was trash writing. Rey was only able to do it because the writers wanted it to happen
Palps is so twisted that he enjoys breaking people down into their most primal fear and pain. The stronger they are the less he can keep himself from utterly enjoying every second of it
Maul and Savage weren't actually doing much to interfere with Sidious' plans and they had no affiliation with either faction of the war. Gramps literally showed up and spun the block on these whipper snappers just because he could. (and of course to enforce the Sith rule of two)
Bro, after Palpatine knocked out Maul, he was toying with Savage to wait for Maul's wake up, just so he could actually see his brother die. He wanted him to be awake to see it XDDD
No way bro did not gloss over the fact pulpy used a dan backslide to kill 21. My dude literally put together a cross between MJs moonwalk and a back dash out smash bros for the most filthy and disrespectful execution ive ever seen.
How crazy is it that when I wanna see a lightsaber duel I go to RUclips for this episode? Wish Sidious had more duels in live action because dude was a savage
its actually crazy this was the last we've seen of both brothers for a few good years during the disney cancellation up until Maul was reintroduced in s7 also its still crazy to me that for s7 they didnt animate the entire cancelled s6 arc where palpatine executes his Talzin plan and Maul gets away in the process (which is why he's free in s7 in the first place)
I write this to say, I didn't see Clone wars and only with few clips of this duel of lightsabers and when I think in a duel of lightsabers I think in this duel
I just like how Palp's fighting style is reminiscent of water, aggressive but redirected by the attacks of his opponents. Almost any instance where he's forced to retreat or take a hit is used to his advantage, like he planned for it from the beginning, or is just so flexible in his fighting style that it doesn't matter.
2 things. 1. Palp will only use lightsabers in 2 senarios. A. The person he is fighting believes their saber skills to be their greatest asset. He does this to show how truly wide their skill levels are. B. It is Yoda and Palp is afraid he's gonna get backshots. 2. The end of the series is just the writers writing out their own power rankings lists.
The most chilling thing is that Palpatine could just smack them around with the Force and there’s nothing they could do about it. He just wanted to play…
Darth got mauled and Savage got opressed. Insidious.
Ioiooii
Best Star Wars joke ever, nothing tops that
Lmao😂😂
My favorite part was when palpatine said “I am the phantom menace,” and he menac’d all over maul and savage.
"If Palps had had a senate meeting scheduled in the morning, then this fight would have only lasted seconds" XD
TBF o feel he wild just gone the next day or skipped the meeting bro does what ever the hell he wants lol
I don't know why he'd have to worry about. That meeting would be with himself.
Notice how Maul immediatey uses Soresu, the all defensive form, showing just how scared he is of Darth Sidious.
It being a defensive form is hella weird, considering how exposed the neutral stance is lol
because oby wan was probably the only jedy other than Yoda and windu that could contend against sidious in a fight and maul realized this so that's why he tried using soresu against sidious but as we see he did not use it nearly as well as oby wan and he abandoned it very quickly as we can seen in the fight

What I wouldn't give to see more scenes of Sidious playing with people in a duel
Unfortunately, he only fights other 2 lightsaber duels, both in the third movie. And in both he is actually sweating
I like to think each lightsaber has a speaker in it to play the fight music in battle
I would not be using that responsibly in any way. I show up to a fight playing the most random music
I bet Palp was listening to carnival music that whole time.

No way bro did not gloss over the fact pulpy used a dan backslide to kill 21. My dude literally put together a cross between MJs moonwalk and a back dash out smash bros for the most filthy and disrespectful execution ive ever seen.
The only other character to evade attacks so effortlessly is another redhead by the name of Cal Kestis (Especially while "he's fixing his hair")
I love ur humor 😂😂😂
How crazy is it that when I wanna see a lightsaber duel I go to RUclips for this episode? Wish Sidious had more duels in live action because dude was a savage
3:43 maul doesn’t have nuts he’s cut in half with robotic legs
this is one of the best animate fights for sure it made watching every episode worth it
Best part about this is Palpatine hates lightsaber combat. He could have just used the force and ended it. But he decided to just do it for fun.
its actually crazy this was the last we've seen of both brothers for a few good years during the disney cancellation up until Maul was reintroduced in s7
also its still crazy to me that for s7 they didnt animate the entire cancelled s6 arc where palpatine executes his Talzin plan and Maul gets away in the process (which is why he's free in s7 in the first place)
You missed the perfect chance to use "palp-able" at 2:46 lol.
“You’ve been fuc*ing up my plans” 🤣🤣
I write this to say, I didn't see Clone wars and only with few clips of this duel of lightsabers and when I think in a duel of lightsabers I think in this duel
Love how the ignition sound for Palpatine’s lightsaber’s sounded soo deep
1:03 I think maul used obi wans signature move
I just like how Palp's fighting style is reminiscent of water, aggressive but redirected by the attacks of his opponents. Almost any instance where he's forced to retreat or take a hit is used to his advantage, like he planned for it from the beginning, or is just so flexible in his fighting style that it doesn't matter.
4:24 alright, having the Marv sound effects here had me rolling.
Maul was fighting for his life while Palps was wondering what wine he’d have for dinner.
fr tho this is the best fight in star wars
i know nobody like palpatine but you got to give the old man credit that old m.f can slice and dice and do it with a smile
There is a deleted scene from the fight that leads up to the part where savage pushed palpatine
Ngl, I respect Maul for forcing Sidious to take this duel seriously.
Thay said... Sidious is still THAT Sith Lord.
You made me laugh ti cried. Thanks dude!😂😂😂
Another awesome video! Thank you!
I enjoy watching SWTOR’s lightsaber battles in the trailer. Specially the one in the hangar of the space station above Korriban.
The Home Alone electrocution sound was 🤌🏽
If Palpatine had a senate meeting to get to he wouldn't have even brought out the lightsabers.
The most one-sided duel in the history of star wars... and I loved it
Finally someone making a video on the Mandalore jumping, long have I waited
The best lightsaber duel in the history
This was definitely my favorite saber fight next to the dual of fates 😮
Just noticed rn, Mail did the Obi Wan pose
This is my fav saber duel in Star wars tv and movies. People always surprised when I say it.
the home alone bit got me laughing
You’ve been fking up my plans 😂
2 things.
1. Palp will only use lightsabers in 2 senarios.
A. The person he is fighting believes their saber skills to be their greatest asset. He does this to show how truly wide their skill levels are.
B. It is Yoda and Palp is afraid he's gonna get backshots.
2. The end of the series is just the writers writing out their own power rankings lists.
DUDE... you earned a subscriber
Thank you
4:12 onward is the funniest sh*t I’ve ever seen in a Star Wars video
The most chilling thing is that Palpatine could just smack them around with the Force and there’s nothing they could do about it. He just wanted to play…
Palpy is hilarious. I’m subscribing because of it.
"You can smell the doodoo in his pants."
You missed the chance to call it "poodoo" instead.
The homealone reference electeocuted 😂😂
"maul and his little bro" meanwhile that little bro is taller than he is
You are the REAL GOAT at fight reviews😂😂😂😂
Wow thanks 😂
The thumbnail is wrong, ever 4Chan and Raddit user knows who the real GOAT is...
Dont forget the fact that Savage killed Adi Galia with his headbutt/horns and it barely phased Palpatine when it happened to him
I’m glad I’m not alone in the opinion that this is the best duel
I remember “being a dick” when we played stiff witch while i was pursued by a witch I ran backwards to evade the witch’s hand. That was just epic.
Pappy is a smooth criminal
This duel was kinda ass you could see how they got nerfed so hard to fit the plot...
Plagues was actually faster than sidious . That’s why sidious was afraid to fight him in a duel and had to wait until he was asleep to kill him .
