      Well sidious knew he had to go all out and use force scream to end the council quick. Against maul/savag he knew he could beat both them and he wanted to show off a bit

    • @robertstutts8315
      @robertstutts8315 3 года назад +57

      Incorrect, and this just showcases one of the many examples where Dave Filoni just doesn’t understand Star Wars. Look at how Sidious initially engages the Council and Maul/Savage. Against the council, Sidious is clearly enraged and “force screams” to immediately disorient them. He knew exactly who he could take out first and did so moving at the speed of light. After killing Kolar and Tin, he moves to engage Fisto and Windu. Despite, diving deep into the darkside and pulling out all the stops to kill him, Fisto still manages to fend him off momentarily. Against Savage and Maul he is smiling and laughing at them and takes a defensive stance against them knowing he could kill them at any time. He always had the intention of keeping Maul alive, so he wasn’t fighting to kill him. Therefore, he was never fighting him at his full strength. Savage....was play time for Sidious. He was never a threat or challenge to him at all.

    Obi-wan always struck me as a true Jedi. Not the "no emotion" stuff, but having and expressing your emotions, but maintaining control. Don't suppress your feelings, just don't let them get the better of you.

    • @dmangelsm1188
      @dmangelsm1188 3 года назад +106

      Exactly! The Jedi had lost their way by eliminating all emotions & tried to be Vulcans. I believe that's the balance that they talk about.
      It's not anger, but hatred, not fear, but anxiety, not love, but lust that are bad. Too much of them makes the person out of balance.

    • @smartalec2001
      @smartalec2001 3 года назад +4

      Feelings and emotions aren't the same thing. But in pressing down your emotions, you can end up numbing your feelings of other things too. The Jedi rely on their feelings; they're open, not closed.

    • @joelt2002
      @joelt2002 3 года назад +13

      Which in my opinion was the failure of the Jedi order outside of Obi'wan. They were suppressing their emotions which made them unable to perceive the dark side. Luke's new Academy should have been based on the philosophy of Obi'wan and Qui'gon. A more "grey" Jedi, that was less about suppressing emotions and more about keeping them under control.

    • @thatoscarguy9965
      @thatoscarguy9965 3 года назад +12

      And just think if Obi Wan turned out as well as he did under Qui Gon’s teachings imagine how much better Anakin would’ve been. To me the problem with Obi Wan wasn’t just his inexperience with being a master but also Anakin struggled not to feel rivaled by him as more of a brother not a father figure. In an alternate timeline instead of feeling the need to compete he’d be far more disciplined and attuned with the force and himself while having the master that would have the needed knowledge, wisdom, and experience to guide him through everything especially with his darker emotions.

    What is also great about this scene is when Savage says “I’m not like you... I never was” is basically him redeeming himself before he dies. He was a decent person before he was transformed against his will to do horrible things. He was also always called monster, brute, animal etc. And so at the end of his life he chose to be who he truly was and not what everyone thought of him to be

      The Dark side of the Force is a pathway to that many lies that some would call that count unnatural.
      Ex.:
      "I've brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my new empire."

Also, Windu and co. came in knowing it might potentially be the Sith lord they were looking for so I'm pretty sure they came in somewhat "ready" for might go down. Tbh, I really think it's just a matter of Lucas wanting to get the point across to the audience as quick as possible that Palps was powerful regardless of whether the scene looked good or not.

I agree that they could have a better scene, though (maybe clones ambushing them, or Anakin stepping in on an epic 2v5). That's why the prequels are a mess. So much are happening, so little time.

    I love how the episode Maul reaches his peak of presence is the one where Palpatine decides to pop in for a moment and rip down everything his former apprentice built up. Sidious is a seriously underrated villain, often people see Vader as the best villain, Vader had the biggest fall, but he was never COMPLETELY evil. Palpatine NEVER did anything good, anything that could be perceived as such I guarantee was an investment for sinister gain later on. Plagueis didn’t make Palpatine evil, he simply emboldened what was already there.

As despicable as Mauls actions are you have to remember he was taken and raised by Palpatine who tortured him emotionally and physically, training him to become the epitome of rage and evil. And was discarded the moment Sheevs no longer had a use for him. “Product of his environment” is a massive understatement for the character of Maul

    Regarding Obi-Wan, there is more to learn here... It is also a lesson as to why Jedi should not have attachments... Had Obi-Wan kept his feelings in check, Maul would not spot his weakness for Satine... Ironically, the very reason Satine dies at the hands of Maul is precisely because of Obi-Wan...
    The Jedi code prevents attachments and display of emotions precisely to avoid the targets of said emotions to become victims of their eventual enemies... Because as guardians of the Republic, there will eventually be enemies the Jedi would have to face, Sith or any other enemy for that matter... so any attachment is leverage, and an innocent victim sacrificed.
    Now, regarding Palpatine, I do not think for a second Maul poses a threat to him... This is the same as a cat playing with its food... I also believe Palpatine would be a bit of a sadist and pain and pleasure could be his thing, all things considered. So, him being even momentarily pinned by Maul, adrenaline rush and feelings of pain may actually be a game to him... At the same time, to give Maul hope he has a chance, only to take it away, and leave him alive to know that he is alive only because Palpatine allows it so, is not only a display of power but that of personal pleasure; to see Maul ask for mercy... and him to actually give it to him, but just in order for Maul to suffer the fact he asked for it.
    Incidentally, I think that also is how Palpatine operates... He knows Maul... He knows he would plot a revenge... and during this, 1) he would probably take down enemies Palpatine would not need to later on 2) rally criminals to a common goal, thus actually occupying them elsewhere, away from his affairs and 3) potentially out hidden threats in the process.
