- Good morning, Chancellor. How was your travel on Mandalore yesterday? - Very well, thanks. Now they are allies of the Republic, whether they like it or not.
@Irfan Alddin when your force potential is so catastrophically large that your opponent can casually ragdoll you, you gotta rethink if you can actually survive.
The fact that Maul used Soresu, the most defensive duelling style, in the beginning of this fight shows how utterly terrified he is of his former master
@@TheKeyser94Dude. I mean this disrespectfully. Shut. The. Fuck. Up. You lonely depressed chronically online bitch. All lightsaber combat is ROOTED in actual martial arts and is broken down and explained properly that reflects actual martial arts stupid. The whole franchise has multiple fucking languages they made just for world building. So SORESU. SORESU SORESU SORESU…SOOOOREEEESUUUU sounds perfect for the form of defense
@P M granted it ain't word for word but the sentiment is there. Sensing a powerful but familiar presence then the surprise/alarm of realizing whom it was.
@Irfan Alddin General Grievous isn't considered a Sith Lord, he was trained by Dooku but he's not one who can even use the force. Although he fights with lightsabers he's not actual Sith, he just works with them.
@Irfan Alddin I have to disagree. Sith Lord is just a term used to refer to dark side force users, or force users who followed Sith tradition. The title of a Sith Lord is Darth, and Dooku and Vader were both crowned Darth, while General Grievous, being a non-force user, cannot be a sith lord. Maul was a sith lord as Palps gave him the title, Darth Maul.
For Maul and Savage, this was the most brutal and close-to-death battle in their lives, a test of survival, when no matter how powerful of a duo they become, even Maul is visibly fearful knowing the abilities of their enemy as soon as he enters the room. For Palpatine, this was a Tuesday night
"Can we speed this up a little? My voice actor's close to dying!" In all seriousness though, I like how they gave Ian Abercrombie THIS as a farewell before his passing. Just as badass as the writers of Archer did with Malory's last appeareance.
What's worse is this was Tuesday on holiday. Typical Tuesday for Palps is wearing the mask of a mild-mannered aged politician. Palpatine had personal business to take care of and RELISHED in the fact that it HAD to become PERSONAL business. Finally, he didn't have to use proxies as a cudgel. He could revel in the thrill of doing it himself for once.
@@mlee7290 Sidious is way above a "sociopath." He's a maniacal, power hungry, sadist who has no sense of empathy. "Sociopaths" feel empathy. Sidious does not.
Hey if this is the last moment we see maul until season 7.....how is he free and still in control of everything he was if the emperor said “I have better used for you.” ?
Maul was essentially a tool, Dooku was his bridge across the Separatists and the Republic, but Anakin as the chosen one was his main strive since his initiation in the Jedi Order.
Probably using the force in some light form to keep it over his head to ensure his identity is concealed. I couldn't see someone as smart as Sidious risking his hood falling off mid-fight.
@@LITTLE1994What I also like is that Palpatine hates lightsabers. He sees them as beneath a Sith Lord, yet we see him fight Jedi Grand Masters and Sith Lords like it’s nothing. Just goes to show how really raw and powerful Palpatine is that the only way he can be defeated is by way of the force not sword fighting.
@@DonyoSanghelei30 Well he has been defeated by sword fighting before. But that was specifically by Windu, a guy who's lightsaber style, Vaapad, literally channels the Dark side.
any time Palps is one screen it's an absolute joy to see him ham it up and just have a blast. He was great in Jedi, Great in Revenge of the Sith, and Great in Rise of Skywalker. he just loves doing what he does.
He was laughing because of his arrogance and sadism. He believes he’s better than them. Which in this case is true because he did the hard work and mastered force and saber abilities. But a combination of hubris and sadism is why palpatine is always laughing during combat. He enjoys seeing others suffer
When I wanted to become dark lord of the Sith THIS is what I signed up for Cackling maniacally while I murder my apprentice's family to mess with him NOT sitting in an office working on trade agreements all day
I love the little exchange starting at 2:50. Sidius jumps over him causally “dodge, dodge” then activates his lightsabers in a relaxed manner. It’s not even a battle ready stance either. He just treats it like a little dance rehearsal, “yup, 1, 2, 3, and 1, 2, 3.” 😂
It's obvious that Sidious is bored as shit. He no longer knows what to do to give Savage more of an advantage and prolong a fight that could have ended in two seconds.@@bluntslt8023
Sosa Bodiez he literally could’ve force choked her, or even just did what Snoke did and mind rape her, but nah let’s just zap her with a small bit of lightening 🤦🏻♂️
God, that movie was so painful -_- Also, one of the best parts about Maul as a character is how we learn that the Jedi weren’t the only ones being manipulated by the Sith and the Dark Side. Maul, an ex-apprentice of Sidious, was just as much of a victim of the Sith and Dark Side as others
@@darklordofthesith2633 🎶 He's Sidious, Sidious. You never really know what he's gonna do next. He's Sidious, Sidious. Hehehehehe, let the hate flow through you 🎶
I love how dominant Sidious is the whole battle. The only time when any semblance of a balanced conflict goes on is right after Savage dies. At that moment Maul proves that he is truly the one with the greatest ability to use what the sith philosophy teaches. He is the one who truly follows the sith code, the passion and hate gives power thing. But ultimately Palpatine is simply too good. He is the culmination of a thousand year plot, and a thousand years of linear improvement of the dark lords of the sith, beginning with Bane.
I like to see it as sidious was just trained in the dark side for to long. Well even at a young age he knew he was powerful and sadistic. And of course all the knowledge of the dark side Darth plagueis had. Sidious was literally the perfect storm .
Not that big of a cap. 1000 years to be the best. And maul throwing a temper tantrum is able to briefly match him in not beat him outright(like windu) which imo he did because like always sith restort to force powers. How did bane work out again.....Sidious had yet maul away with force powers. Maul out duel him in the end. Which sucks because then he gets beat by ashoka 😅 come on now. Like she could even last against sidious.....that how silly sw is.
Explain that to the fans who continue to watch Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, Mandalorian... tell them all that Star Wars is "silly."@@Googleisstupid-sk3hm
@@californiansniper2133 I mean…he kinda tortured maul at the end lol. And if you consider that palpy probably could’ve just walked in and killed them both immediately if he really wanted too, then I’d say it’s more of a bullying than a schooling lol.
One detail at the end not many people realize is the one thing Maul says once the fight is over. "Please have Mercy." You may be thinking, well of course because he doesn’t want to die to his master, but we see throughout that Maul will stay for a battle until one opponent is killed. Whether it be him or his rival. He has shown that he is willing to take a warrior's death (just like in rebels), and even with his Dathomirian origin it makes sense. So this scene shows exactly how scary Sidious is, even to Maul. The fact that Maul, despite being willing to have a warrior's death, he asks for mercy from Sidious. When even an evil, determined and beligerent foe like Maul asks for Mercy from Sidious, that is how you know what true terror is.
Crazy to think about he genuinely fears Sidious. And yet wit all that, sidious to an extinct respected yoda’s powers (maybe even feared, but he knew yoda would never put his full power into affect cuz the jedi council’s politics and the senate) enough to tell maul one of the few people that maul would never beat, would be yoda.
I’m guessing Mas Ammeda (the blue guy with horns we see occasionally) did have to make up some excuses along those lines while Palpatine/Sidious was out 😂
Well they can't reveal his true identity. It's gonna be revealed in the upcoming season for sure, hopefully he's one we've already seen in the old seasons.
@@goldenpeepeepoopoo3196 Yeah, I don't like doing that since I think it's pretty rude and I wouldn't want to do that to someone if they just missed something because it just happens sometimes, and also this isn't Reddit
I would be lying if I said I wasn't smiling with Sidious in this fight. He's so confident in this battle, he knows he's going to win. He constantly turns his lightsaber off and laughs in their face while literally toying with them. One of my favourite duels from the Clone Wars.
The fact this whole scene even took place is a testament to Sidious' evil. The whole encounter could have ended at 1:50 when both Savage and Maul failed to resist a mere force push from Sidious but he decided to test both their prowess in lightsaber combat instead and initiated the duel. Then at 2:40 after being successfully charged at by Savage and finding it difficult to take on both brother who have resorted to attack him from multiple direction simultaneously, you can see him audibly scowl before once more opting to use his superior mastery of the force to momentarily disable Maul and dispatch an isolated Savage. Finally, at 4:13 the dual wielding enraged Maul clearly has gained a lead against Sidious in terms of strength finally managing to land a kick and have the advantage in the final saber cross, however at this point Sidious had decided to end the encounter and further tapped into the dark side to overpower Maul on the saber cross, and opted to use the force to disable him.
@@Darknesss490I think rather that he can’t easily duel them both at the same time, especially since they surrounded him. However, his connection to the force would always be his trump card in the fight, allowing him to decide where the engagement would take place (throne room, to announcement yard place, to in front of the mural) as well as how it would take place as well (his amount of opponents and their fighting styles). Although the Maul duo could at least concern him in terms of their physical capabilities, they were in no way able to even touch him in terms of their force capabilities.
"It was somewhat difficult to get the Prime Minister alone-I had to endure one of those ambassadorial dances, though at least I made sure to enjoy myself. Afterwards once I had gotten rid of his underlings, and applied some motivation, he mercifully listened to reason."
Fun Fact: Zabrak have two hearts, it pumps their blood faster and makes them more agile. Cool detail how Palpy stabs Savage presumably through both his hearts.
Well think of it this way. Darth Sidious wears the mask of Chancellor Patpatine nearly all day every day. The Sith are in love with power. They are intoxicated by it, and revel in their use of it. This was a rare time Sidious got to take off his mask, and unleash all at his disposal. Of course he’s gonna be giddy about doing the thing that brings him the most joy.
It's probably the first time in DECADES that he's gotten to just beat the shit out of two upstarts and have some real fun. No politics, no backroom deals. Just a good ole fashioned duel.
I think in many ways Palpatine was proud. Maul took Palpatine's teachings and adapted it to go from a cripple to the ruler of a criminal empire that given enough time could quickly rival the Republic and the Confederacy. But the Rule of Two is the Rule of Two and that criminal empire would be a problem.
@@thespanishinquisition9160 na he just had other plans for him ahsoka had to save his ass after almost launching him to his death (even though we know siths dont seem to die afrer they fall) . maul got his butt kicked twice.

Now THIS is what the people who refuse to watch this show because it’s animated are missing out on. Clone Wars has some of the greatest peaks in the franchise, without a doubt
This is exactly why people don't watch this show. Palpatine dual weidling lightsabers and doing corny stuff like moonwalk-stabbing Savage is almost as dumb as Yoda's gymnastics against Dooku.
What's generally amazing about this duel is that sideous knows there's no way that Savage or Maul could even touch him, so he structures this duel purely so he can enjoy it the most 1. He starts off completely dominating the brothers with force powers to establish that no matter what they do, he can end the fight at any point just using the force. This demoralizes the both of them. 2. He goes overboard on the flourishes in his opening strikes to further strike fear into the brothers hearts, and cackles as he notes that the brothers are completely on the defensive. Both are terrified of him. 3. He spends the majority of the fight not really trying hard, as to give the brothers the impression that they might win, even allowing Savage to ram him. He's caught off guard as Maul almost lands a hit, and then snarls that he might have been going too easy on them. At that point, he just uses the force to knock maul out. 4. After the point he's just got savage dueling him, he's back to just having fun, literally dancing around Savage as he is multiple leagues above him in skill and speed. He delays killing Savage until maul wakes backs up, and makes a point to kill Savage in front of maul with a trick move and another over the top flourish. He gets the most glee from taking mauls only family away from him, and even lets maul be with his brother in the final moments just to let the pain hit home. 5. He lets Mauls rage boil over, and engages with him in a prolonged lightsaber duel, only to show maul that even with all his rage, he can't possibly match him, not in lightsaber combat, and certainly not in force powers. 7. It concludes with maul begging Sideous for mercy, and Sideous merely reminds maul that he doesn't believe in mercy even as a concept. It goes beyond him denying his former apprentice mercy, he would never show anyone mercy for any reason. Maul may be evil, but the story shows that it's a product of his broken past. Sideous is the complete embodiment of pure evil, as he does this just because he wants to.
I love how the one spin that SIdious did in Revenge of the Sith has now helped define his style as being disturbingly acrobatic, an old man spinning around like some kind of possessed lunatic.
Same with Yoda. Pulls out his saber and proceeds to twirling, jumping, and spinning like a mad man. And when it was over, he picked up his cane and went back to hobbling around 😆
@@MeCanik79 he uses the force while he fights. Not while he’s constantly walking that’s why right after he reverts back to his normal form without the use of the force
Obi-Wan didn’t know he was there because of that and Palpatine used a landing pad that was hardly guarded, and the majority of Maul’s forces and Obi-Wan were busy fighting so that made it easier to get into the palace undetected
@@starwarsguy9803 This episode is also one of the times that Obi-Wan isn’t calm and collected; Satine just died. He’s clouded and consumed by the Dark Side
The Jedi suspected though? They even say the dark side surrounds the chancellor. Remember, the Jedi were also corrupt and their connection to the force was weaker. But yes, Sidious was an expert at hiding it.
@@marcelxd1633 eventually a threat not yet. Savage was really strong but lacked training and maul COULD have given him that training, still sidius probably could have handled them even after years of them training together had he let them, but not fucking up his schemes were the priority
I think Maul is more like a wild dog, you cant leash him forever. Maul wouldnt stop until Obi-wan was dead, this would hurt Sidious´ plan for Anakin so it had to be taken care of.
Me being the observant fan I am, "Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Disney+." *Quick note: for a while they listed Seasons 1-6 of the show as a Disney+ original when it really wasn't (seasons 1-5 obviously aired on Cartoon Network, and season 6 was **_*The Lost Missions_* DVD that was also on Netflix).
It’s always so funny to me that Palpatine CHOSE to have this lightsaber fight. He could’ve just ended it in seconds with his sheer strength in the force as soon as he walked into that throne room. The fact that he even chose to learn to use a lightsaber as a pure mockery of the Jedi and not only learn the basics but learn how to use it BETTER than a majority of the Jedi is even funnier.
He also could have killed Savage and Maul something like 8 times without even using the force during the duel. He was just holding back so he got more fun out of them.
You notice Sidious' sabers' activation sounds at the start of the fight? The one in his right hand uses the same sound it did in ROTS when he fought Windu, and the one in his left hand used the one when he activated it against Yoda. It's implied he was using his spare against Yoda since his primary saber fell out the window during his fight with Windu. I love little details like this.
"stand up to" is a gross overstatement considering how easy it was for Sidious to ragdoll him not once, not twice, but three times in the same fight. Sidious was clearly playing the entire fight as he was rarely on the offensive and mostly playing defense and dancing around his opponents clearly showing how easy the battle is for him. He doesn't go for the kill until that little bout with Savage, and you can bet the only reason he did that was so he could watch Maul suffer. If he wanted it to be quick he would have beaten Maul into the dust while Maul was watching over his dying brother, instead he wanted to savor every moment of Maul's suffering as true punishment for him trying to become a rival.
The Sun yes you are right. But when I say that I mean he actually dueled sideous. The most powerful sith at the time ( of all time probably) and came out alive. That is an achievement. Sideous’ duels are complicated. Because as an example in the windu fight no one really knows if he was trying to lose to get anakin it was actually trying and just lost. It is just tricky. I’m not saying maul could beat sideous. He couldn’t, maul may be powerful and a great dueler he is not even close to sideous or Vader. I’m just saying that he actually lived is incredible
@@jacobhogan380 he survived not because of his skill but because Sidious had other uses for Maul. At the end the clear difference in power was clear and overwhelming.
@@jacobhogan380 and also when the novels were canon they made it clear that Sidious played coy at the end of the fight, though Mace was much better of an opponent than Sidious had anticipated. He was caught off guard but if he desired it he would have won, but he needed to bide his time for Anakin to come, note how the moment Anakin is in the tower Sidious conveniently gets disarmed and is in a clear position to be executed. For a man willing to risk everything for his plans he knew his faith in Anakin wasn't misplaced. It was a large gambit but he knew it would pay off.
@@emelem6858 my headcanon is that Mace most certainly gave Palpatine a run for his money and was more of a challenge than Palpatine expected. He underestimated Mace but was still above him to the point he controlled the fight just like how Maul controlled the fight with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Considering the time that they got on the window sill and how it was just a coincidence that right as Anakin got there Palpatine was "conveniently" disarmed. Palpatine controlled that fight, and if he wanted he could have crushed Windy without ever drawing his saber.
The "there can only be 2" is already hinting towards Sidious having a part in the other Sith's deaths. After all, there were 6 Sith in the Clone Wars series (if I'm not mistaken)
Kuchen Pro the rule of two he is referring two is an ancient sith rule: at any given time, there can only be one master and one apprentice. Ventress and savage were dark jedis but not true sith lords
@@jakeschwartz2514most dark side users still have some semblance of good in them and they only turned to the dark side due to trauma or external reasons but palpatine was just genuinely evil with no redeemable qualities or good in him

"So, Chancellor, how was your vacation?" “Oh, I met up with an old friend. He brought his older brother along. It was..." *[Maul screaming in agony as Force Lightning tears through his body]* " _Quite_ enjoyable."

MrPicas *Well when you really think about it, the entire show is actually one giant reference because it takes place in the exact same universe it references.*
When Maul is begging for mercy, hes not begging for life, hes begging for a quick death because he knows Sidous will torture him. That. is the scary part
On one hand, I'm impressed that Maul was briefly able to solo against Sidious, who is one of the greatest lightsaber duelists in history. On the other hand, Sidious considers lightsabers to be a weakness and the Force to be the greatest weapon a person can use. So like, Maul was amazing and probably in his best fighting form, but Sidous was literally just toying with him.
04:19 is the only moment in the duel where Sidious seems to be strained at all. And it’s over and gone within a second. But the fact Maul was able to make his former master strain even slightly speaks volumes.
@@jimservuIt also shows just how ridiculously strong Sidious is with the Force even talking in a purely physical manner. He _completely overpowered Maul’s blade lock and disarmed him_ as an elderly man dueling a _Zabrak._
@@captainfordo556 I’m fairly certain from what I’ve heard that Plagueis wasn’t on board with having Palpatine train Maul as it would break the rule of two, but he was willing to tolerate Maul as, like you said, was trained more to he an assassin than a genuine Sith apprentice.
@@awesomegaymer5786 the Inquisitors aren’t Sith. They’re significantly less powerful. In Rebels, Maul fights them like they’re nothing. And while Ventress escapes and becomes a bounty hunter, the whole reason why Sidious ordered her killed was because she was becoming to powerful and therefore a threat to the rule of two It’s like the Sith use other dark side force users as their personal hit men, but expect them to be nothing more then that
1:58 Notice Maul's stance. Maul is a Juyo practitioner, aka, the most aggressive form of lightsaber combat, and had used it to defeat Qui Gon Jinn and even breakthrough Kenobi's defense However, in this battle, he takes the stance of Soresu, which is the most defensive form of combat Maul was so scared of Sidious, he took the absolute defense form over his normal form Loved that minor detail.
Not necessarily scared but was definitely smart to go on the defensive side, but then Savage was killed and the Maul actually gave Palpatine a bit of a challenge.
@@evanlight2550 Sidius isn't really the boss character that doesn't have a health bar, he's morw like the boss character who does have a health bar, but no matter how many times you hit him (if you can), the health bar won't go down.
Palpatine's daily plan: -Hold a meeting about the new law -Sip some tea -Talk to some diplomats -Invade a planet and curbstomp its new leaders -Prepare a speech for the next Senate gathering
Two things I notice in the video: 1. Palpatine doesn't snap the two guards necks straight away, he seems to make them die slowly as they're forced choked, evil stuff... 2. Maul asking for mercy isn't him asking to be spared and let go. He's asking for a quick death for he knows the pain and horror Sidious can inflict having been his apprentice before Dooku...
No, the second one is false. Maul actually DID want mercy. If you look at the line in context, Sidious replies, "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. I have other uses for you," therefore implying that Maul was asking to be spared.
“Brother, I am an unworthy apprentice. I’m not like you. I never was.” This line kinda hits different when you remember original Savage was actually a good dude. He only became a murdering psychopath because of the Nightsisters’ magic. Now that he’s dying the magic is leaving him. He’s remembering who he was and realizing that real him was not like his brother at all. Edit: this comment was about Savage. How did the replies turn into a war over Anakin’s character?
@@drugaddicter Anakin was always kind of a crying pre-Madonna with anger issues. Savage was genuinely kind and only wanted to protect his little brother. Even after the Magic, he remains very loyal to Maul. Anakin is just a whiny bitch.
@@davidhelling6035 nah, Anakin's anger is justified and it has been stated several times that he and Vader are basically two different entities. Also, shut up
What I like about this fight is how Sidious very clearly started _trying_ against Maul after Savage died. He's pretty much just dancing around for the first part of the fight, then when Maul gets pissed, he knows he needs to take it a bit more seriously.
It's even more apparent when he uses his force powers, notice how in every scene when he does this his opponents get fucking obliterated almost like a, "You had your fun but it's time for me to end this."
I’d recommend reading the Son of Dathomir comic. It takes place after this and Maul and Mother Talzin actually almost hold their own against Dooku, Grievous and Sideous
It must suck to be a mandalorian guard. You see some old guy walking over and assume it's just some politician or something, and then he just chokes you with a wave of his hand
Out of all the ways for Savage to die, I never expected it to be the Emperor to kill him. Darth Vader was right. “The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.”
Joshua Strittmatter He was still chancellor at the time, albeit that wouldn’t make a huge difference, because he had like 90% of the senate in his pocket.
yeah, in the movie his saber skills seemed like a joke, in here they seemed almost as good as his force powers. Disney cannon Sidious> EU cannon sidious

He could revel in the thrill of doing it himself for once.

"You have been replaced!" I like to think he's not even talking about Dooku
Yeah, he's talking about Anakin. Sidious viewed Dooku as more expendable than Maul.
Definitely talking about Anakin
Dooku replaced Maul then Anakin replaced Dooku... it's ironic
Maul was essentially a tool, Dooku was his bridge across the Separatists and the Republic, but Anakin as the chosen one was his main strive since his initiation in the Jedi Order.
Anakin forsure
The fact that the hood didn’t move or fall is another skill on its own.
Held on by static sith electricity
Probably using the force in some light form to keep it over his head to ensure his identity is concealed. I couldn't see someone as smart as Sidious risking his hood falling off mid-fight.

He was laughing because of his arrogance and sadism. He believes he’s better than them. Which in this case is true because he did the hard work and mastered force and saber abilities. But a combination of hubris and sadism is why palpatine is always laughing during combat. He enjoys seeing others suffer

I love how dominant Sidious is the whole battle. The only time when any semblance of a balanced conflict goes on is right after Savage dies. At that moment Maul proves that he is truly the one with the greatest ability to use what the sith philosophy teaches. He is the one who truly follows the sith code, the passion and hate gives power thing. But ultimately Palpatine is simply too good. He is the culmination of a thousand year plot, and a thousand years of linear improvement of the dark lords of the sith, beginning with Bane.
Best analysis so far
I like to see it as sidious was just trained in the dark side for to long. Well even at a young age he knew he was powerful and sadistic. And of course all the knowledge of the dark side Darth plagueis had. Sidious was literally the perfect storm .
Not that big of a cap. 1000 years to be the best. And maul throwing a temper tantrum is able to briefly match him in not beat him outright(like windu) which imo he did because like always sith restort to force powers.

Imagine fucking up so bad that it won't be Vader who hears what you have to say, but The Emperor.
YGOLight Don't forget, when it comes to Palpatine, death IS mercy.
One detail at the end not many people realize is the one thing Maul says once the fight is over. "Please have Mercy." You may be thinking, well of course because he doesn’t want to die to his master, but we see throughout that Maul will stay for a battle until one opponent is killed. Whether it be him or his rival. He has shown that he is willing to take a warrior's death (just like in rebels), and even with his Dathomirian origin it makes sense. So this scene shows exactly how scary Sidious is, even to Maul. The fact that Maul, despite being willing to have a warrior's death, he asks for mercy from Sidious. When even an evil, determined and beligerent foe like Maul asks for Mercy from Sidious, that is how you know what true terror is.
Perhaps when he asks for mercy, what he means is that he wants a quick death, not to be tortured by Sidious for the Force knows how long
Crazy to think about he genuinely fears Sidious. And yet wit all that, sidious to an extinct respected yoda’s powers (maybe even feared, but he knew yoda would never put his full power into affect cuz the jedi council’s politics and the senate) enough to tell maul one of the few people that maul would never beat, would be yoda.

@@sran438 ikr how can an old man like him try to build an empire???
Strange theory... pretty sure it's just a coincidence.
The fact this whole scene even took place is a testament to Sidious' evil. The whole encounter could have ended at 1:50 when both Savage and Maul failed to resist a mere force push from Sidious but he decided to test both their prowess in lightsaber combat instead and initiated the duel.
Then at 2:40 after being successfully charged at by Savage and finding it difficult to take on both brother who have resorted to attack him from multiple direction simultaneously, you can see him audibly scowl before once more opting to use his superior mastery of the force to momentarily disable Maul and dispatch an isolated Savage.
Finally, at 4:13 the dual wielding enraged Maul clearly has gained a lead against Sidious in terms of strength finally managing to land a kick and have the advantage in the final saber cross, however at this point Sidious had decided to end the encounter and further tapped into the dark side to overpower Maul on the saber cross, and opted to use the force to disable him.
How does this not have any comments yet xd
Great comment.
Your comment is great, but I don't get the point. Do you state that Sidious can't overpower Maul and Savage at the same time?
@@Darknesss490I think rather that he can’t easily duel them both at the same time, especially since they surrounded him. However, his connection to the force would always be his trump card in the fight, allowing him to decide where the engagement would take place (throne room, to announcement yard place, to in front of the mural) as well as how it would take place as well (his amount of opponents and their fighting styles). Although the Maul duo could at least concern him in terms of their physical capabilities, they were in no way able to even touch him in terms of their force capabilities.

Well think of it this way. Darth Sidious wears the mask of Chancellor Patpatine nearly all day every day. The Sith are in love with power. They are intoxicated by it, and revel in their use of it. This was a rare time Sidious got to take off his mask, and unleash all at his disposal. Of course he’s gonna be giddy about doing the thing that brings him the most joy.
It's probably the first time in DECADES that he's gotten to just beat the shit out of two upstarts and have some real fun. No politics, no backroom deals. Just a good ole fashioned duel.
@@hoid3424 Grandpappy finally gets to cut loose...

@Prod. Toni Awe nah not realy he wasnt serious at all
The fact that Palpatine openly admits that Darth Maul has become a “rival” to him says a lot about Darth Maul.
I think he became a rival because he got an apprentice. Dooku did too, and Sidious killed him eventually.
I think in many ways Palpatine was proud. Maul took Palpatine's teachings and adapted it to go from a cripple to the ruler of a criminal empire that given enough time could quickly rival the Republic and the Confederacy. But the Rule of Two is the Rule of Two and that criminal empire would be a problem.
It doesn't say anything about Maul. Palps was just toying with him

It was Savage who did the kick
@@Zenocius Not in the 1 v 1. Palps lands a kick on Maul, and Maul gives one right back.
What's generally amazing about this duel is that sideous knows there's no way that Savage or Maul could even touch him, so he structures this duel purely so he can enjoy it the most
1. He starts off completely dominating the brothers with force powers to establish that no matter what they do, he can end the fight at any point just using the force. This demoralizes the both of them.
2. He goes overboard on the flourishes in his opening strikes to further strike fear into the brothers hearts, and cackles as he notes that the brothers are completely on the defensive. Both are terrified of him.
3. He spends the majority of the fight not really trying hard, as to give the brothers the impression that they might win, even allowing Savage to ram him. He's caught off guard as Maul almost lands a hit, and then snarls that he might have been going too easy on them. At that point, he just uses the force to knock maul out.
4. After the point he's just got savage dueling him, he's back to just having fun, literally dancing around Savage as he is multiple leagues above him in skill and speed. He delays killing Savage until maul wakes backs up, and makes a point to kill Savage in front of maul with a trick move and another over the top flourish. He gets the most glee from taking mauls only family away from him, and even lets maul be with his brother in the final moments just to let the pain hit home.
5. He lets Mauls rage boil over, and engages with him in a prolonged lightsaber duel, only to show maul that even with all his rage, he can't possibly match him, not in lightsaber combat, and certainly not in force powers.
7. It concludes with maul begging Sideous for mercy, and Sideous merely reminds maul that he doesn't believe in mercy even as a concept. It goes beyond him denying his former apprentice mercy, he would never show anyone mercy for any reason.
Maul may be evil, but the story shows that it's a product of his broken past. Sideous is the complete embodiment of pure evil, as he does this just because he wants to.

Wow!
The fact that maul even stood up to sideous is an achievement. Not many people can do that.
"stand up to" is a gross overstatement considering how easy it was for Sidious to ragdoll him not once, not twice, but three times in the same fight. Sidious was clearly playing the entire fight as he was rarely on the offensive and mostly playing defense and dancing around his opponents clearly showing how easy the battle is for him. He doesn't go for the kill until that little bout with Savage, and you can bet the only reason he did that was so he could watch Maul suffer. If he wanted it to be quick he would have beaten Maul into the dust while Maul was watching over his dying brother, instead he wanted to savor every moment of Maul's suffering as true punishment for him trying to become a rival.
The Sun yes you are right. But when I say that I mean he actually dueled sideous. The most powerful sith at the time ( of all time probably) and came out alive. That is an achievement. Sideous’ duels are complicated. Because as an example in the windu fight no one really knows if he was trying to lose to get anakin it was actually trying and just lost. It is just tricky. I’m not saying maul could beat sideous. He couldn’t, maul may be powerful and a great dueler he is not even close to sideous or Vader. I’m just saying that he actually lived is incredible

He was caught off guard but if he desired it he would have won, but he needed to bide his time for Anakin to come, note how the moment Anakin is in the tower Sidious conveniently gets disarmed and is in a clear position to be executed. For a man willing to risk everything for his plans he knew his faith in Anakin wasn't misplaced. It was a large gambit but he knew it would pay off.
@@emelem6858 my headcanon is that Mace most certainly gave Palpatine a run for his money and was more of a challenge than Palpatine expected. He underestimated Mace but was still above him to the point he controlled the fight just like how Maul controlled the fight with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Considering the time that they got on the window sill and how it was just a coincidence that right as Anakin got there Palpatine was "conveniently" disarmed. Palpatine controlled that fight, and if he wanted he could have crushed Windy without ever drawing his saber.
The fear in Maul’s eyes when he realized who’s about to kick in his door was the best part of this scene
Probably one of the only beings in the universe maul actually feared
Yep!
Yes

And he completely deserve what he got at the end
That's what you get for making too much noise around Sidious lol
> "You have been replaced."
He's already talking about Anakin, poor Dooku.
Underrated comment. THat's actually a pretty good theory you're throwing out there, Kerath.
The "there can only be 2" is already hinting towards Sidious having a part in the other Sith's deaths. After all, there were 6 Sith in the Clone Wars series (if I'm not mistaken)
Kuchen Pro the rule of two he is referring two is an ancient sith rule: at any given time, there can only be one master and one apprentice. Ventress and savage were dark jedis but not true sith lords
@@kyakeshavarz3595 he was an assassin , not a sith Apprentice nor a lord, just an assassin and a Droid army General
@@kyakeshavarz3595 well, true, but he wasnt training to become a sith lord, he couldn't even weild the force
Sidious: “You have been replaced.”
Maul: “By Dooku?”
Sidious: “Yes but also no.”
I was thinking the same thing.
"Is it Dooku? Yes, is he the one who will "surpass" Me, no.... "
Dooku, then Anakin (Vader).

I just realized
Karma hit Maul hard
He killed Qui-Gon-who Obi-Wan cared for-while Obi-Wan watched helplessly
Now Sidious kills his brother, while he watches helplessly
Karma's a b*tch
He also had just killed the duchess, who Obi Wan had deep feelings for
Also, when Savage found him on Lotho Minor, Maul said that mercy is a lie the weak tell themselves to feel strong. Yet here...4:34.
To cite George Lucas:
It's like poetry it rhymes
Since not showing mercy is killing an already defeated opponent, then not showing mercy is no feat of strength, but a feat of weakness.
The fact that he wanted to face this problem personally and considered maul a rival and fought them with a lighsaber really says a lot about maul

Ashoka had to do an entire siege get the republic and with the help of Death Watch to capture maul

Sometimes a small and quiet force can achieve more than a large and loud one.

The fact that ahsoka stood a chance against maul just baffles me.
@@xcalibre436 and why is that? Ahsoka was a prodigy, excellent in both lightsaber combat and the force. She was also trained by the most powerful jedi in the galaxy. You Maul fanboys make me laugh 🤣
I feel like Sidious intentionally killed Oppress and gave Maul a moment to fuel his hate and thus make him stronger, because it would be more fun...
Give the man a break. He needs a diversion after carrying the whole senate in his back alone
Wouldn’t be surprising. Dark Side users are empowered by hate and anger.
I wouldn’t be surprised to be honest.
Sounds like sidious to me
Unfortunately it didn’t. If anything, it unbalanced Maul and made him reckless although he was never a match for Sidious at all
Crazy how Sidious is literally playing with them the entire time, he could’ve very easily just killed them as soon as he walked into the throne room
"A presence I've not felt since..." nice reference
You could just hear the fear in his voice when he says "master" it's glorious
Almost half the dialogue in Clone Wars is references, and I love it.
MrPicas *Well when you really think about it, the entire show is actually one giant reference because it takes place in the exact same universe it references.*
Purple Emerald i was thinking the same thing
I agree. Its a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
When Maul is begging for mercy, hes not begging for life, hes begging for a quick death because he knows Sidous will torture him. That. is the scary part
"There is no mercy..."
It did say that Maul feared Sidious above all else
@Masketta Man be mean, do not.
No wonder he told him he's not going to kill him.

Both of these comments are underrated
It was hard, but I managed
Like I said before, the dark side of the force is pathway to many abilities some might consider, *unnatural*
He's the senate se
On one hand, I'm impressed that Maul was briefly able to solo against Sidious, who is one of the greatest lightsaber duelists in history. On the other hand, Sidious considers lightsabers to be a weakness and the Force to be the greatest weapon a person can use.
So like, Maul was amazing and probably in his best fighting form, but Sidous was literally just toying with him.
04:19 is the only moment in the duel where Sidious seems to be strained at all. And it’s over and gone within a second. But the fact Maul was able to make his former master strain even slightly speaks volumes.
@@jimservuIt also shows just how ridiculously strong Sidious is with the Force even talking in a purely physical manner. He _completely overpowered Maul’s blade lock and disarmed him_ as an elderly man dueling a _Zabrak._
The fact that Sidious would handle this personally and risk exposure just shows the importance of the Rule of Two
@@captainfordo556 I’m fairly certain from what I’ve heard that Plagueis wasn’t on board with having Palpatine train Maul as it would break the rule of two, but he was willing to tolerate Maul as, like you said, was trained more to he an assassin than a genuine Sith apprentice.
I never really understood that. Im fairly sure he knows about the inquisitors and ventress but he just doesn't care
@@awesomegaymer5786 the Inquisitors aren’t Sith. They’re significantly less powerful. In Rebels, Maul fights them like they’re nothing.
And while Ventress escapes and becomes a bounty hunter, the whole reason why Sidious ordered her killed was because she was becoming to powerful and therefore a threat to the rule of two
It’s like the Sith use other dark side force users as their personal hit men, but expect them to be nothing more then that
@@Mr.E723 what makes them less sith than savage? He looks directly at savage when saying "how unfortunate that you attempt to decieve me"
@@awesomegaymer5786 Because Maul actively trains Savage as a Sith Apprentice, Ventress and the Inquisitors were not.
The truth is, he was just happy to get out of his office

Notice Maul's stance. Maul is a Juyo practitioner, aka, the most aggressive form of lightsaber combat, and had used it to defeat Qui Gon Jinn and even breakthrough Kenobi's defense
However, in this battle, he takes the stance of Soresu, which is the most defensive form of combat
Maul was so scared of Sidious, he took the absolute defense form over his normal form
Loved that minor detail.
Not necessarily scared but was definitely smart to go on the defensive side, but then Savage was killed and the Maul actually gave Palpatine a bit of a challenge.

@@tomgu2285 i was just joking 😐
Two things I notice in the video:
1. Palpatine doesn't snap the two guards necks straight away, he seems to make them die slowly as they're forced choked, evil stuff...
2. Maul asking for mercy isn't him asking to be spared and let go. He's asking for a quick death for he knows the pain and horror Sidious can inflict having been his apprentice before Dooku...
Huh, you know you might be on to something
It would explain his self-destructive behavior in the last season and rebels. He literally wants to die.
Allen Gordon I think it’s less that he WANTS to die and more that he’s just indifferent to the prospect.
No, the second one is false. Maul actually DID want mercy. If you look at the line in context, Sidious replies, "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. I have other uses for you," therefore implying that Maul was asking to be spared.
General Grievous The general is always right.
“Brother, I am an unworthy apprentice. I’m not like you. I never was.”
This line kinda hits different when you remember original Savage was actually a good dude. He only became a murdering psychopath because of the Nightsisters’ magic. Now that he’s dying the magic is leaving him. He’s remembering who he was and realizing that real him was not like his brother at all.
Edit: this comment was about Savage. How did the replies turn into a war over Anakin’s character?

@@kotorandcorvid4968 Gonna cry autism star wars boy?
What I like about this fight is how Sidious very clearly started _trying_ against Maul after Savage died. He's pretty much just dancing around for the first part of the fight, then when Maul gets pissed, he knows he needs to take it a bit more seriously.
It's even more apparent when he uses his force powers, notice how in every scene when he does this his opponents get fucking obliterated almost like a, "You had your fun but it's time for me to end this."
I’d recommend reading the Son of Dathomir comic. It takes place after this and Maul and Mother Talzin actually almost hold their own against Dooku, Grievous and Sideous
@@AshofTheAbyss well that's why Sidious was worried about Mother Talzin because he knew they could be bring him down.
Ash Meyer didn’t Talzin take over Dooku in that comic
Brett Roche yeah for a bit I think.
Maul: "lets try to use the highground brother."
Sidious: "I'll try spinning. That's a good trick."
because the high ground worked so well for maul last time.
It must suck to be a mandalorian guard. You see some old guy walking over and assume it's just some politician or something, and then he just chokes you with a wave of his hand
And then he puts his hand down and is still choking you while he walks away with his hands at his side.
