Re: Count Dooku vs. Darth Maul

Dooku didnt hold his own against Yoda he got owned he was being played with. If you whatch both Maul and Dooku fighting im am faairly certian Maul has quicker reflexes. It would be a closer fight than you think, i still think Dooku woulod probably win but it would be a closer fight than you make it out to be. How is Dooku more threatening than Maul? Maul's expresion is full of rage that is much more threatening.

Re: Count Dooku vs. Darth Maul

I think that Dooku just has more experience.  Dooku is a Sith Lord, whereas Darth Maul is a sith Murauder.  I think if it was purley lightsaber fight, it would be close, and I think that Maul might come out on top.

However, if it's a battle with no restrictions, than easily count Dooku would conquer.

Re: Count Dooku vs. Darth Maul

You guys give Maul too much credit.... honestly Dooku is better at Saber and Force and has more experience Obi-wan got better as he got older and when he fought Maul he was younger... when he fought dooku he was at his peak

Re: Count Dooku vs. Darth Maul

Maul single handedly destroyed the Black Sun (which must have started itself back up eventually), so I've heard. I have not read the book yet.

No way darth Maul woud win. He is younger, has more anger, and is quicker with a lightsaber.

Ah, but Count Dooku's mastery of the force is greater. Also, Makashe (Dooku's saber style) is the best style for lightsaber battles.

funny it didn't help him against Anakin, for  those that read the episode 2 book, he almost defeated dooku with his double saber style, as usualy he counted on Anakin weakening if his focas was disrupted and it was, that was always anakin's weakness, if he focused he was unstoppable, but once he started thinking about it he pretty much blew it.

Re: Count Dooku vs. Darth Maul

You're all forgetting a very important thing, HATE fuels the darkside, or a similar very strong emotion, Maul had this, Dooku was cranky at best, he was not definately filled with hate, maybe disdain, but I hardly
consider disdain dark side fuel. The fact that Dooku had been a jedi, hampered him in fully realizing his power and potential. He was far more concerned with theatrics and showing his superioity to his opponets. (He was reference as to admiring his lack of use of hand gestures for using the force that the jedi used in the labyrinth of evil book I believe) This made him prone to toying with his opponents to display his supirioity, while the only thing Maul was concerned with was doing his job and pleasing his master.  In this one Maul wins, one does not TOY woy maul and live. Obi Wan won the battle because he was not trying to show he was better he just WAS better. Dooku lacks the sheer ruthlessness to be a real sith, he was never anything more than a pawn, which don't get me wrong Maul was the same just a better and more useful, ALSO Maul was more adept at stealth the Dooku
