Darth Maul is my choice. Extremely powerful with the lightsaber. Focused and dedicated. Fearless. Also, he doesn’t talk smack to Jedi. Just manhandles 2 of them at a time…. :evil: The other Sith (the ones I’m actually familiar with) like to hear themselves talk…
Nothing wrong with his death, in my mind. Overconfidence leads to carelessness, let your guard down, you can get slaughtered in an instant. Happens in A&A (and chess) too…
Speaking of Maul’s demise, seems to me to be one of a myriad examples of “why in the world didn’t he/they…”
Why didn’t Maul use force push to make it harder on Kenobi, instead of just waiting there with lightsaber retracted? He also could have taken Jinn’s saber, or thrown it away like he did Kenobi’s. But that’s part of the over-confidence and carelessness, I suppose.
