I dont think Ahsoka expected Kanan and Ezra to live. She could Either have a long duel with Maul and most likely win to save Kanan or go up and save Ezra. She chose Ezra.
I personally think it was because not only did she know Maul would become arrogant giving Kanan a chance to win due to being able to see through the Force as it's a skill taught to most Younglings so she DID have faith in his abilities but also because she sensed Vader approaching and knew if he gained control of the Temple it would spell doom for them all.
No question Maul is stronger than Kanan in a fight, what cost Maul his victory was his arrogance, which is a quality pretty common in Sith. I don't see it as plot armor, I see it as consistency. But I'm also a sucker for badass moments so...
IDK what people are saying. Kanan being blinded and then beating Maul is one of the best scenes in this episode, and it had a lot of good scenes. Kanan is someone who has been metaphorically blind from the jedi way and so for him to be physically blind and then finally be able to see the path of the jedi is really smart. He beats Maul, not because of plot armour, but because he has to. Kanan, much like Qui-Gon, follows the force more than most jedi and for him to use the force to see and then for him to use the force to restore his sight right before his death shows a much deeper side to the force than we previously expected. Kanan is a jedi without the clutter of the Order and so for him and Ezra more niche skills like using the force to see or control animals is expected. Maul didnt expect to lose that fight, because of his arrogance, but what he doesnt realise is Kanan is more than just a Jedi, he is an untraditional fighter and so he beats Maul easily because of this. In a one on one duel Kanan wont win, or at least this version of Kanan (Final episode Kanan would smoke Maul imo), but in an actual fight he takes the win because he uses more than just his saber and the force. People just dont like the fact that Kanan beat the shit out of Maul in like 5 moves
@@mightymiggle eh I think it tracks. Maul basically loses all of his fights cause he’s arrogant. He should’ve been able to beat (CW) Ahsoka and Maul, but he got arrogant. It’s the focal point of his character. It why he lost against old Obi Wan too, because he tried to bash him like he did Qui Gon. Maul is just too arrogant for his own good 🤷
@@SinkCatFr Maul didnt want to kill ahsoka he wanted to recruit her. He literally disarmed her and got a chance kill her but he didnt bcs that wasnt his purpose. The thing about old obi wan fight is true he was arrogant and kenobi knew maul would try that move. But the fight against kanan is nonsense. Kanan literally survived a hit to his face from a lightsaber which a sith assasin was using. Plus maul was toying with kanan and kanan didnt even beat him he just pushed him over the edge of the temple
If Maul didnt go somewhat crazy and didn't let his overconfidence and areagonce get the better of him he wouldve been able to get his revenge and done some really good damage to both the empire and rebellion and would've got what he wanted if he played it smart and calmly. But then again if it that were to happen then it would alter the star wars timeline completely.
y’all will stop playing on dawg Kanan man. He defeated the grand inquisitor, a former temple guard. Kanan has a very strong connection to the force and that helped him beat Maul as it did with the grand inquisitor
Grand Inquisitor is nowhere near Maul level. He’s not even close to Asajj Ventress. And are you just gonna ignore Kanan struggled with every inquisitor that came after? Lmao stop being biased and just accept that Kanan is nowhere near Maul level. Didn’t even win in a duel or by using the force. Kanan’s overrated, not that powerful, has a biased fanbase, and is fodder.
@@BlueLight136my point is Kansan is undoubtedly strong with the force. He mastered sight with the force man. Maul’s arrogance got the best of him and he underestimated Kanan
All the people in the comment arguing about how much stronger Maul should be in a physical fight against Kanan have, by and large, missed the entire point. Kanan won that fight because, in at least that moment, he had found his way. Then he loses it again shortly after to doubt, only to find it one final time and become what the Jedi should be by the end. If you're asking "how did Kanan become as powerful as Maul in this moment" you're asking the wrong question. I don't know how people manage to watch Star Wars and all they can take away is who the strongest coolest guy with a lightsaber is.
So well said. Every hater in this comment thread needs to read your comment. He caught Maul in an arrogant moment and tripped him over the ledge. That doesn't mean he "beat" Maul or that he's a "better fighter" than Maul. Kanan losing his eyes is a huge catalyst for him deepening his connection to the force, and it's one of the best parts of the entire show.
Arrogance is what has stopped Maul almost every single time from reaching his long term goals. It's a consistent character flaw. Kannan opened up to the force and let it guide his hand in that moment. Could have it been executed better? Possibly, but it's in line with most story telling fights when it comes to star wars, and this being a show that was originally aired on a network rather then just streaming, couldn't draw out the run time with a prolonged duel with out cutting into Vader vs Ashoka.
Coulda been executed better. Being blinded is a pivotal moment for kanan and if maul trashed him like he should have it would have been more traumatizing and believable, and his doubt as a capable jedi and mentor would take a toll on his relationship with ezra who slowly strays from the light as a result. Kanan learns over the course of the show that being a jedi and letting the force guide him is bigger than himself and he overcomes his fears and his blindness and prevents ezra from being corrupted, and he redeems himself as a fully fledged jedi master. Now that would have been satisfying. Instead he gets crippled, but oh well he beats the guy who maimed him anyway in 5 seconds
I remember watching this scene. As soon as Maul's blade struck Kanans eyes, the entire scene was a blur. I was thinking "Oh god, is he alright?!" then when I see him still moving "Okay, okay...he's just injured." Seeing him beat Maul despite his injury was satisfying.
Maul sure has caused a lot of inconvenience 😂 bringing down Ashoka’s cruiser, blinding kanan, being the reason Kira didn’t go with Han & Chewie, ruling the underbelly of the galaxy.
One thing a lt of people overlook is that in this moment Kannan does the exact same thing he does in his last fight with the grand inquisitor. And that's letting the force take hold of his body and letting it guide him through the fight. He never would've bested Maul in combat but by allowing the force to guide his body he manages to win.
Scenes like this make me miss some of the legends continuity, because anyhow this was old canon Maul would have been ragdolling everybody here, he was second only to Sidious when it came to Sith lightsaber combatants, now they turned him into a joke.
Often Jedi train with the helmets to deflect training bolts Learning to trust in the force and not let their eyes distract them Kanan didn’t need his eyes to defeat Maul, Maul is the superior duelist. But Kanan used Maul’s overconfidence against him. Jedi trusting the force over their eyes makes them more focused
Anyone judging Kanan for defeating Maul ‘blind’ Clearly didn’t pay attention to A New Hope or source material. Why else did Jedi often train with helmets, they had to learn to trust in the force not based on what they see. Which is why Kanan became more focused and used Maul’s arrogance against him Even tho Maul is the superior duelist.
My theory: If Disney use George Lucas story for the sequel which Maul is still alive and became the Godfather, he would successfully activate this battle station and destroy some of his enemies until Kanan turn it off and destroyed it
U know, if ahsoka had just force pushed maul when he kept for kahnan. He would have never lost his eyes😂. She literally sat there and watched. This is why I laugh when people try to over power her. She’s a great character. But not as powerful or smart as maul.
Maul is a really good fighter and he would've beaten Kanan in a normal fight. But Mauls greatest weakness is his arrogance and his underestimation of his opponents. He got defeated in Phantom Menace, Clone Wars and in Rebels by Obi wan (Thrice) and Ahsoka because of this. He was like Kanan is an average jedi and he is blind , what can he do and totally underestimated him then he lost.
Well, in Phantom Menace, the existence of the Sith is kind of the biggest secret in the galaxy... So it would stand to reason Maul was smart enough to just complete his missions and bring as little attention to himself as possible.
In TPM, Maul was no match for a Jedi Master in a straight fight. He just wasn't ready yet. Instead, Maul relied on pure rage and hatred as a shortcut to become more powerful. It worked, but after Naboo, it backfired. Pain, trauma and petty revenge infected his rage, diluting it, and erasing his shortcut. He never overcame that problem, which is why he steadily weakened over time, to the point that he was no match for even an ordinary Jedi Knight.
Even the most powerful can be outsmarted Maul is stronger yes but arrogant as a muthafucka lol Kanan used this to his advantage just like Obi-Wan would have. (Not saying Kanan and Obi-Wan are on the same level btw just pointing how both used Maul's aggression and arrogance)
Maul lost to Obi-Wan near a pit… Maul lost to Ahsoka because he fell from a bar. Maul lost to Kanan because he fell off a cliff. I think having the high ground is actually very bad for Maul.
God this scene is so bad. Like Kanan just had his eyes cut open, and then Ahsoka just leaves Maul with him the second he stands back up. Or the fact that Maul says I’ll make this quick, but then proceeds to slowly sneak around him. He could’ve just jumped and killed him then that would’ve been it. Or how Kanan just immediately knows how to see with the force, and can defeat Maul flawlessly, even though he couldn’t even beat the inquisitors, who Maul destroyed.
Maul is careful because he is very wary of the Jedi. He's been beaten three times before when he's had an overwhelming advantage against a Jedi (Ahsoka wasn't technically a Jedi at the time, but close enough). He respects that Kanan has to be taken seriously, so he attacks carefully, strategically. Then he cocks it up because Kanan flat out beats him through a stronger attunement to the Force. He's a fully realised Jedi Knight, with the Force as his ally. Maul's Force powers, by contrast, are considerably diminished from his prime.
I know there are people that say that this whole thing is plot armor but in my honest opinion it’s not. From the beginning Maul had a problem of underestimating his opponents. Besides in Maul’s first real fight he lost to a padawan Obi Wan. In his final battle in clone wars he lost to a padawan Ashoka. He was beaten by Obi Wan when he had help from Savage… twice. He gets bullied by Palpatine. Finally in his last battle ever it lasts three strikes. Kanan doesn’t really have plot armor here Maul just sucks
Nah it’s plot armor dude. It’s Kanan that S. Your just biased and a one sided Kanan fanboy who can’t accept facts. Maul one taps Kanan. Killed Qui-Gon, gave Obi-Wan big trouble and much more. Kanan just acts like a little girl when facing inquisitors 🤡
@@BlueLight136 bro I don’t even like Kanan. I’m just saying that Maul sucks because he does. He has one good feat and that is killing Qui Gon. Yeah Qui Gon was considered a good duelist but that was before the clone wars. A good duelist pre clone wars is much different from a good duelist during the clone wars. Maul lost to a padawan 3 times. Gets whooped by Obi Wan constantly even when he has help. Mail just sucks. This is not a defense for Kanan just making that clear
@@BlueLight136 he gave obi wan trouble when he had help and still lost. Sidious was holding back like at least 70% of his power so that’s not really a feat if you ask me. Maul begged for mercy. He *begged*
@@charlespackowski6620 oh yeah? How about his first fight where he had the clear advantage in TCW. He also dueled Mace and Aayla at the same time. I’m assuming you now think he’s Mace level lmao. Kanan is just not comparable to Maul here. Kanan’s straight out of his league here. He can’t beat Qui-Gon, he can’t beat Asajj Ventress, he can’t beat Obi-Wan, nor Mace Windu, Ahsoka, Anakin, Dooku, Vader, Cal Kestis, and most importantly a fully raged focused Maul. So tell me who can Kanan beat?
@@reality4saintstrue this is the same guy who was toying with 3 inquisitors but somehow got defeated by kanan who couldn't even handle one plot armour at it's finest 😭
I really feel sad that disney killed maul as a good character and made him in whiner who losing to padawans like ahsoka.. George's maul will easily defeat anyone of named by me shit.
"Everybody love Ahsoka" I don't so "almost everybody" ~~The Apprentice of Anakin woulda been someone like Anakin, Quigonn,,Mace,Dooku Not someone like ObiWan. That's my reason.. She's a cool character and shoulda been someone elses apprentice. like ObiWan after Anakin become Jedi Knight.
I kinda hate that kanan had to suffer so much during this show. I know it was part of the character development, but he kinda deserved some happiness. not being blinded by some crazy horny guy
If i had a dollar for every time a sith voiced by sam witwer blinded a jedi knight with a ponytail id have 2 dollars. Which isnt much, but its odd that it happened twice.
maul was holding back the entire fight because he wanted ahsoka as a ally and ahsoka simply used the scenery that they was fighting + maul's lightsaber height in her favor. what you just sayed makes zero sense.
she won cuz maul choked the fight due to his pride, she didn’t literally win that fight, maul literally disarmed her and could’ve killed her if he was trying to kill her, besides in this rebels fight they looked just about even, ahsoka had the slight edge in terms of agility
@@muhanaveed1999 you can’t say someones even with someone through such a brief interaction, by that logic vader = ahsoka and “she didn’t actually win” yes she did, him being arrogant is apart of his character. If he loses a fight because of that then its still a loss for him.
@@user-mc3if9xs7w I’m not saying Maul didn’t lose, I’m saying maul didn’t lose based off strength, he was more powerful, i’m just saying technically he didn’t lose, he won the duel, since he disarmed her, but he did still lose, in rebels he tied since it was unfinished
because they could never have maul killed since half the fan base rooted for him but they couldn't also let him kill half the main cast. since the clone wars maul has been made to be a fking master of the defense form and trash at offense even though he was a godamn sith assassin...
@@Cailus3542 He literally low diffs almost every Jedi except the obi-wan and the highest echelons of the Jedi Council like Yoda. He just gets done so dirty like Grevious because they are always competing against the shows protagonists.

Disney doesn’t know how to do anything but cartoonish villains and absurd plot armor. Boring because there’s no threat to the characters and no stakes.
He could not beat her easily stop lying she has grown stronger since than. And as for kanan maul just got arrogant and underestimated him. Kanan used the force to help him.
@@Salik96 10mins before this scene he lunged himself at 3 inquisitors and had no problem taking them on. But now all of a sudden he loses to blind Kanan
@@karolclark791 Because kanan trusted the force that's why. Maul underestimated him. And besides the inqusitors aren't even that strong. Even cal defeated one
He’s not weak, he just loses fights due to his overconfidence, in both his cw s7 fight with ahsoka and rebels fight with kannan, he’s the stronger combatant, and has the edge, he just chokes at the end cuz of his pride

Kanan is someone who has been metaphorically blind from the jedi way and so for him to be physically blind and then finally be able to see the path of the jedi is really smart.
He beats Maul, not because of plot armour, but because he has to. Kanan, much like Qui-Gon, follows the force more than most jedi and for him to use the force to see and then for him to use the force to restore his sight right before his death shows a much deeper side to the force than we previously expected. Kanan is a jedi without the clutter of the Order and so for him and Ezra more niche skills like using the force to see or control animals is expected.
Maul didnt expect to lose that fight, because of his arrogance, but what he doesnt realise is Kanan is more than just a Jedi, he is an untraditional fighter and so he beats Maul easily because of this. In a one on one duel Kanan wont win, or at least this version of Kanan (Final episode Kanan would smoke Maul imo), but in an actual fight he takes the win because he uses more than just his saber and the force. People just dont like the fact that Kanan beat the shit out of Maul in like 5 moves
You're clearly a Kanan fan bro chill.
@@mightymiggle eh I think it tracks. Maul basically loses all of his fights cause he’s arrogant. He should’ve been able to beat (CW) Ahsoka and Maul, but he got arrogant. It’s the focal point of his character. It why he lost against old Obi Wan too, because he tried to bash him like he did Qui Gon. Maul is just too arrogant for his own good 🤷
@@SinkCatFr Maul didnt want to kill ahsoka he wanted to recruit her. He literally disarmed her and got a chance kill her but he didnt bcs that wasnt his purpose. The thing about old obi wan fight is true he was arrogant and kenobi knew maul would try that move. But the fight against kanan is nonsense. Kanan literally survived a hit to his face from a lightsaber which a sith assasin was using. Plus maul was toying with kanan and kanan didnt even beat him he just pushed him over the edge of the temple
Wdym Maul slams Kanan no matter what version of Kanan it is
Nothing you just said is true, Kanan comes nowhere close to ever actually beating maul in a fight lmao😂
The moment when Ahsoka got the high ground 1:10
I was expecting this comment
Obi Wan must of spent time teaching Ahsoka the high ground she didn't learn it from Anakin
@@haydenfowle7576 true
1:14 bro was the one who ran away from her in clone wars but alr
That's what I thought. But this was made before that duel. So I think he referred to her running away from the Jedi order
Kanans form 3 was definitely cool to see
One of the coolest scenes ever.
"I'll make this quick." ...Yes, you did.
If Maul didnt go somewhat crazy and didn't let his overconfidence and areagonce get the better of him he wouldve been able to get his revenge and done some really good damage to both the empire and rebellion and would've got what he wanted if he played it smart and calmly. But then again if it that were to happen then it would alter the star wars timeline completely.
y’all will stop playing on dawg Kanan man. He defeated the grand inquisitor, a former temple guard. Kanan has a very strong connection to the force and that helped him beat Maul as it did with the grand inquisitor
Grand Inquisitor is nowhere near Maul level. He’s not even close to Asajj Ventress. And are you just gonna ignore Kanan struggled with every inquisitor that came after? Lmao stop being biased and just accept that Kanan is nowhere near Maul level. Didn’t even win in a duel or by using the force. Kanan’s overrated, not that powerful, has a biased fanbase, and is fodder.
@@BlueLight136I don’t even think the grand inquisitor can beat Kylo ren
@@BlueLight136my point is Kansan is undoubtedly strong with the force. He mastered sight with the force man. Maul’s arrogance got the best of him and he underestimated Kanan
@@TheSnowy_OG okay fair but still Maul is stronger
@@BlueLight136i agree with you yeah. Maul is one of my favorite characters of all time in Star Wars
All the people in the comment arguing about how much stronger Maul should be in a physical fight against Kanan have, by and large, missed the entire point. Kanan won that fight because, in at least that moment, he had found his way. Then he loses it again shortly after to doubt, only to find it one final time and become what the Jedi should be by the end. If you're asking "how did Kanan become as powerful as Maul in this moment" you're asking the wrong question.
I don't know how people manage to watch Star Wars and all they can take away is who the strongest coolest guy with a lightsaber is.
So well said. Every hater in this comment thread needs to read your comment. He caught Maul in an arrogant moment and tripped him over the ledge. That doesn't mean he "beat" Maul or that he's a "better fighter" than Maul. Kanan losing his eyes is a huge catalyst for him deepening his connection to the force, and it's one of the best parts of the entire show.
Arrogance is what has stopped Maul almost every single time from reaching his long term goals. It's a consistent character flaw. Kannan opened up to the force and let it guide his hand in that moment.
Could have it been executed better? Possibly, but it's in line with most story telling fights when it comes to star wars, and this being a show that was originally aired on a network rather then just streaming, couldn't draw out the run time with a prolonged duel with out cutting into Vader vs Ashoka.
Coulda been executed better. Being blinded is a pivotal moment for kanan and if maul trashed him like he should have it would have been more traumatizing and believable, and his doubt as a capable jedi and mentor would take a toll on his relationship with ezra who slowly strays from the light as a result.
Kanan learns over the course of the show that being a jedi and letting the force guide him is bigger than himself and he overcomes his fears and his blindness and prevents ezra from being corrupted, and he redeems himself as a fully fledged jedi master. Now that would have been satisfying.
Instead he gets crippled, but oh well he beats the guy who maimed him anyway in 5 seconds
Good thing Kanan got his eyesight back in his last moments. He was a good master to Ezra, and he taught him to be a great Jedi.
I remember watching this scene. As soon as Maul's blade struck Kanans eyes, the entire scene was a blur. I was thinking "Oh god, is he alright?!" then when I see him still moving "Okay, okay...he's just injured."
Seeing him beat Maul despite his injury was satisfying.
Maul sure has caused a lot of inconvenience 😂 bringing down Ashoka’s cruiser, blinding kanan, being the reason Kira didn’t go with Han & Chewie, ruling the underbelly of the galaxy.
The fact that maul doesn't kill them immediately shows how much his skills diminished and going against obi wan was suicide
Subconsciously, Maul knew that Obi-wan could kill him. It's what he really wanted.
disney
Facts, he got outplayed by a jedi knight so when he went up against one of the most powerful jedi ever he got folded in 3 hits
People hating on the fact Kanan took care of Maul so quickly clearly don’t understand that in this moment Kanan had the force itself behind him.
He shoulda went with ahsoka and one shot vader too then
One thing a lt of people overlook is that in this moment Kannan does the exact same thing he does in his last fight with the grand inquisitor. And that's letting the force take hold of his body and letting it guide him through the fight. He never would've bested Maul in combat but by allowing the force to guide his body he manages to win.
Mauls worst enemy will always be plot armor
I'm sorry but when he fell that was so funny 🤣
There he goes again falling from high grounds
Scenes like this make me miss some of the legends continuity, because anyhow this was old canon Maul would have been ragdolling everybody here, he was second only to Sidious when it came to Sith lightsaber combatants, now they turned him into a joke.
at least bro didn't get sliced in half this time
Kanan winning this blind was so dumb
Maul was beaten by his greatest weakness: his hubris
Often Jedi train with the helmets to deflect training bolts
Learning to trust in the force and not let their eyes distract them
Kanan didn’t need his eyes to defeat Maul, Maul is the superior duelist. But Kanan used Maul’s overconfidence against him.
Jedi trusting the force over their eyes makes them more focused
Among the biggest bruh moments in star wars
Anyone judging Kanan for defeating Maul ‘blind’
Clearly didn’t pay attention to A New Hope or source material.
Why else did Jedi often train with helmets, they had to learn to trust in the force not based on what they see.
Which is why Kanan became more focused and used Maul’s arrogance against him
Even tho Maul is the superior duelist.
My theory: If Disney use George Lucas story for the sequel which Maul is still alive and became the Godfather, he would successfully activate this battle station and destroy some of his enemies until Kanan turn it off and destroyed it
As cool as this is always remember. REVERSE GRIP IS THE FASTEST WAY TO DIE IN A REAL SWORD FIGHT!
I still love that Ox Guard
00:46 simp!!!!
🤡
Maul will never understand that sometimes Maybe its good to try opposite side
To understand them
U know, if ahsoka had just force pushed maul when he kept for kahnan. He would have never lost his eyes😂. She literally sat there and watched. This is why I laugh when people try to over power her. She’s a great character. But not as powerful or smart as maul.
I'm surprised Maul underestimated a blind jedi doesn't he know of the extra senses the force provides ?
Maul is a really good fighter and he would've beaten Kanan in a normal fight. But Mauls greatest weakness is his arrogance and his underestimation of his opponents. He got defeated in Phantom Menace, Clone Wars and in Rebels by Obi wan (Thrice) and Ahsoka because of this. He was like Kanan is an average jedi and he is blind , what can he do and totally underestimated him then he lost.
Kanan clean with it
imagine if maul force pushes him off the edge 😂
Plot Armor like a mfer ain’t no way Kanan getting rid of Maul that fast😂

In Phantom Menace Maul says 0 words during his fights... here, hes an endless chatterbox.
Did they change his personality or what?
He’s been like this since he came back in TCW, Disney has nothing to do with Maul having more lines
Well, in Phantom Menace, the existence of the Sith is kind of the biggest secret in the galaxy... So it would stand to reason Maul was smart enough to just complete his missions and bring as little attention to himself as possible.
@@jaxx711 I like that explanation.
In TPM, Maul was no match for a Jedi Master in a straight fight. He just wasn't ready yet. Instead, Maul relied on pure rage and hatred as a shortcut to become more powerful. It worked, but after Naboo, it backfired. Pain, trauma and petty revenge infected his rage, diluting it, and erasing his shortcut. He never overcame that problem, which is why he steadily weakened over time, to the point that he was no match for even an ordinary Jedi Knight.
Losing half your body will do that to you.
Couldn't maul simply push him with the force?
Even the most powerful can be outsmarted Maul is stronger yes but arrogant as a muthafucka lol Kanan used this to his advantage just like Obi-Wan would have. (Not saying Kanan and Obi-Wan are on the same level btw just pointing how both used Maul's aggression and arrogance)
Maul lost to Obi-Wan near a pit…
Maul lost to Ahsoka because he fell from a bar.
Maul lost to Kanan because he fell off a cliff.
I think having the high ground is actually very bad for Maul.
I legit feel bad for Maul, the guy could never catch a break.
Bro kanan is best jedi he can fight with no vision
@@yakuzastylo Every single jedi can fight with no vision
What do you think the younglings get trained with?
@@syenous2454 i mean highest jedi level
God this scene is so bad.
Like Kanan just had his eyes cut open, and then Ahsoka just leaves Maul with him the second he stands back up. Or the fact that Maul says I’ll make this quick, but then proceeds to slowly sneak around him. He could’ve just jumped and killed him then that would’ve been it. Or how Kanan just immediately knows how to see with the force, and can defeat Maul flawlessly, even though he couldn’t even beat the inquisitors, who Maul destroyed.
So true
Jedi have blindfold training and hes strong with the force so its not that bad
@@kofalofa6648 that doesn't excuse everything
Maul is careful because he is very wary of the Jedi. He's been beaten three times before when he's had an overwhelming advantage against a Jedi (Ahsoka wasn't technically a Jedi at the time, but close enough). He respects that Kanan has to be taken seriously, so he attacks carefully, strategically.
Then he cocks it up because Kanan flat out beats him through a stronger attunement to the Force. He's a fully realised Jedi Knight, with the Force as his ally. Maul's Force powers, by contrast, are considerably diminished from his prime.
Fr bro. I don’t know what the writers were smoking when they wrote this fight but it must’ve been extremely addicting.
Force push kanan or even both by maul
I know there are people that say that this whole thing is plot armor but in my honest opinion it’s not. From the beginning Maul had a problem of underestimating his opponents. Besides in Maul’s first real fight he lost to a padawan Obi Wan. In his final battle in clone wars he lost to a padawan Ashoka. He was beaten by Obi Wan when he had help from Savage… twice. He gets bullied by Palpatine. Finally in his last battle ever it lasts three strikes. Kanan doesn’t really have plot armor here Maul just sucks
Nah it’s plot armor dude. It’s Kanan that S. Your just biased and a one sided Kanan fanboy who can’t accept facts. Maul one taps Kanan. Killed Qui-Gon, gave Obi-Wan big trouble and much more. Kanan just acts like a little girl when facing inquisitors 🤡
@@BlueLight136 bro I don’t even like Kanan. I’m just saying that Maul sucks because he does. He has one good feat and that is killing Qui Gon. Yeah Qui Gon was considered a good duelist but that was before the clone wars. A good duelist pre clone wars is much different from a good duelist during the clone wars. Maul lost to a padawan 3 times. Gets whooped by Obi Wan constantly even when he has help. Mail just sucks. This is not a defense for Kanan just making that clear
@@charlespackowski6620 and yet he’s still given Obi-Wan trouble and fought Sidious yo
@@BlueLight136 he gave obi wan trouble when he had help and still lost. Sidious was holding back like at least 70% of his power so that’s not really a feat if you ask me. Maul begged for mercy. He *begged*
@@charlespackowski6620 oh yeah? How about his first fight where he had the clear advantage in TCW. He also dueled Mace and Aayla at the same time. I’m assuming you now think he’s Mace level lmao. Kanan is just not comparable to Maul here. Kanan’s straight out of his league here. He can’t beat Qui-Gon, he can’t beat Asajj Ventress, he can’t beat Obi-Wan, nor Mace Windu, Ahsoka, Anakin, Dooku, Vader, Cal Kestis, and most importantly a fully raged focused Maul. So tell me who can Kanan beat?

like ObiWan after Anakin become Jedi Knight.
I kinda hate that kanan had to suffer so much during this show. I know it was part of the character development, but he kinda deserved some happiness. not being blinded by some crazy horny guy
Rephrase....please
I miss kanan
If i had a dollar for every time a sith voiced by sam witwer blinded a jedi knight with a ponytail id have 2 dollars. Which isnt much, but its odd that it happened twice.
Honestly, idk why Ahsoka just let a now blind dude fight a acclaimed badass sith. That’s just suicide
All time low moment for Maul.
As if maul had a chance this time against ashoka when she literally defeated him without her lightsabers😂
maul was holding back the entire fight because he wanted ahsoka as a ally and ahsoka simply used the scenery that they was fighting + maul's lightsaber height in her favor. what you just sayed makes zero sense.
she won cuz maul choked the fight due to his pride, she didn’t literally win that fight, maul literally disarmed her and could’ve killed her if he was trying to kill her, besides in this rebels fight they looked just about even, ahsoka had the slight edge in terms of agility
@@muhanaveed1999 you can’t say someones even with someone through such a brief interaction, by that logic vader = ahsoka
and “she didn’t actually win” yes she did, him being arrogant is apart of his character. If he loses a fight because of that then its still a loss for him.
@@user-mc3if9xs7w I’m not saying Maul didn’t lose, I’m saying maul didn’t lose based off strength, he was more powerful, i’m just saying technically he didn’t lose, he won the duel, since he disarmed her, but he did still lose, in rebels he tied since it was unfinished
Maul always loses to plot armour.
because they could never have maul killed since half the fan base rooted for him but they couldn't also let him kill half the main cast. since the clone wars maul has been made to be a fking master of the defense form and trash at offense even though he was a godamn sith assassin...

Kanan got blind by maul. Many risks and consequences while being involved in a duel.
It would’ve been really interesting if maul killed kanan there
I love star wars but I hate that plot armor shit. Maul could easly beat Ahsoka and Kannan at the same time. Bullshit.
Disney doesn’t know how to do anything but cartoonish villains and absurd plot armor. Boring because there’s no threat to the characters and no stakes.
He could not beat her easily stop lying she has grown stronger since than. And as for kanan maul just got arrogant and underestimated him. Kanan used the force to help him.
eh youre stretching with ahsoka, shes as much as a hardened veteran as maul is
Maul fans dramatically overhype his abilities. He was devastating in TPM, but far weaker after that.

Maul's entire character arc is about how his inability to process his petty vengeance weakens him over time. That's the whole point.
He’s not weak, he just loses fights due to his overconfidence, in both his cw s7 fight with ahsoka and rebels fight with kannan, he’s the stronger combatant, and has the edge, he just chokes at the end cuz of his pride
