Darth Maul V.S Darth Vader who would win?

I think it would be a good fight but Darth Vader's strength would over power Darth Maul.

Strilo edit: Please use this thread.

 

Read Star Wars Tales's Resurrection.

!!!SPOILERS AHEAD!!!























Vader wins!!!
But Maul scores several near death blows on him!

 

darth maul is one of my favorite characters but I'd think vader would win

 

Vader all the way!!!!!!!!!!!

 

As much as I love Vader, Darth Maul would tire Vader with his speed and ultimatly destroy him.

 

The fact that Maul is not encumbered by a suit oof black armor would prove to be an advantage, as would the double-bladed saber. Maul would own Vader.

 

No one owns Vader!!!!!!!!!

 

Vader>Maul

 

Darth Vader would win, definitely. He's much more intelligent, he knows how someone like Maul would work, and use it to his advantage. Vader likes to talk, I think, because he knows that can effect his opponent and severely weaken him. Watch how he enrages Luke in ESB and especially ROTJ.

 

While Maul may be a superior swordfighter, Vader is a much more powerful presence both physically and in the Force. It's basically a contest of speed vs. power and while speed is usually favored in such matchups, I thinks Vader would wear Maul down eventually and beat him.

 

Logic says:

Obi-wan beat Maul.
Obi-wan taught Anakin.
Anakin becomes Vader.
Vader would beat Maul.

I say:
Maul would wipe the floor with Vader.

 

Vader would smash maul with his evil force powers.

 

I look at it this way....Ben killed Maul, so obivously Ben is stronger than Maul. And who killed Ben? Vader did....so Vader would be stronger than Ben. So I guess vader would win that fight.

 

Darth Varder is the Darthiest Darth by far(th).

 

He'd probably just force choke him or something. We don't know how strong in the force Maul was. The only way that he'd be able to beat Vader is if he knows Force Lightning.

 

my quess would be darth maul he looks so much stronger. Take the duel in anh look at vaders skills he wouldnt stand a chance! take the maul duel and look how fast he is hes an awesome fighter. It would be a cool sight to see though.

 

Poor Maul doesn't stand a chance

 

You should have Darth Maul v.s. Not suited Darth Vader. Vader would kick Maul's ass easily without the suit. With the suit, he's the chosen one. He can't die until he completes his destiny so Maul would lose, just like he did in the Ressurection Comic.

 

Darth Vader.

 

Lord Vader would take it.

 

Have any of you ever read STAR WARS Tales?

The addressed this issue specifically.

Maul had Vader on the ropes, constantly throwing insults at him about him being a jedi and still being having a spark of light.

Oh!

I'll go get it and quote it!

hold up...

Here, I'll just tell the whole story...

Featuring Darth Vader and Darth Maul in a duel to the death! [great cover art]

Ok, so Vader and some storm troopers land on this darg world lit up by fire in the sky. They are there because they believe this ancient [sith] temple is a rebel base [which contains stolen plans, presumably to the DS]. He splits the storm toopers into two groups, one to enter the temple with him, and a larger one to patrol the foggy area surrounding it.

We see the storm troopers outside methodically offed one by one by a red lightsaber.

Meanwhile, Vader enters into the temple, which we learned it was a fortress built by a politician and a group of followers who believed that world was the focul point of the dark side. They practice sith magick until the guy goes crazy and kill them all.

Anyways, Vader is walking with his two troopers who are jabbering away about the history when they are force choked to death. They think it's Vader, but he did nothing. He then finds three figures clothed in black, claiming he is not worthy for his master. "We deem you worthy because of who you once were... Anakin Skywalker."

Vader is outraged and swings his blade at the three alchemists as he says, "How dare you?! You bring this upon yourselves!", only for it to be blocked by another red blade. He turns to see "Darth MAUL?"

They explain to Vader how there are ways of bringin those who are no more back into existence. They believe they have ressurected a worthy apprentice for "the master."

They want him to duel Maul to the death, but Darth Vader basically says, screw it. I'll just kill you right now, but they counter that with the 'it'll always eat at you and make you wonder if you could beat him blah blah blah.' So, Vader pauses. Then they say this: [I love this line]

"Will you face him?"

"I will kill him."

Then they fight. Maul kicks Vader in the face near off the bat. Vader exclaims, "Maul is dead! You are a sham!"

"No. You are the sham. Jedi.I can see it in you still... A lone light in the darkness you refuse to extinguish. Not like me. My darkness... My hatred... is unending."

They fight some more and go deeper into the fortress [they are in a giant room with lava flowign at the bottom. They are high above it.]

Vader: "I don't need help to destroy an imposter. [after he used the dead storm troopers to shoot maul and maul threw them into the lava and said they won't help him]"

"It's you who wears the mask... You who hides his unworthiness. Tell me.. *smack him in the face* which of us is truly an imposter?"

They manage to get onto a bridge hung by wires over the lava. Maul says, "Surprising, Jedi. You stand your ground against me. I wonder.. *cuts a cable* are you as confident... *cuts cable* when you can't depend on... *they fall* teh ground beneath you?"

*Vader grabs cable and breaks his fall*

"You land with Grace, Jedi. Did you leanr nothing from the master? 'Never break a fall. If you are prepared to break your fall, you are prepared for the fall itself. Sith do not fall. There is no pain where strength lies.'"

Now they are throwing blows as they meet each other in mid air over the lava. Running up the sides of the wall and jumping from rock to rock as Maul says "follow me... if you can." So, Vader chases him and then they meet in mid air again.

They find their way back onto a platform and Maul cuts Vader in the stomach, spewing sparks everywhere. "Come to me," Maul says as he motions to Vader. "We'll finish this."

"Yes... We'll finish this."

"How can you be a fit servant for the master? You're more machine *blocks blow* than man *block blow* How can a machine hate? How will you defeat me? I slew Obi Wan's master."

"And Obi Wan *

 

I think that Maul would win. Obi-Wan wasn't defeated by Vader, he basically commited suicide so that he could "become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." Plus Vader has to wear that cumbersome black suit. Maul also is quicker and has a double bladed lightsaber.

 

maul would make sushi out of vader's ass.

now on an intellectual level.

maul definitely is VERY athletic and probably a better swordsman. however, even it came down to wits and force power, anakin is far more strong. however, a lot of battles end in the survival of the fittest. plus, he's got that cool double bladed lightsaber.

 

Vader, and I dont think it would be quite like the comic. Vader would kill Maul with his blade in his hand. He just has more strength, power and shere will then Maul to lose to the horned one.

 

Personally, I don?t believe that Maul, for all his intimidation and flashiness, is the supreme fighter that he is made out to be. I?d argue that Dooku could take him out, as could Mace Windu. Vader, even encumbered, has such strength with the force that Maul?s speed and athleticism wouldn?t avail him too much IMHO. It?d be a great fight, but my money is on the chosen one.
