@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.

@@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.
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.
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.
I'm fairly certain this has been said before...but the fact that Sidious can conceal his presence at will, yet chooses to let his guard down here, just goes to show how much he wanted to scare Maul before he even arrived. Dedication.
@@filliiiii7 If that's so then how did he hide his presence from Yoda and Windu while being in the same room as them. It's already quite clear he can do that if you watch the prequels.
0:36 - 0:50 Note how Sidious uses the Force-choke here. He's strong enough that he could've killed them immediately by crushing their windpipes or snapping their necks. But instead he does a slowly tightening one, that draws out their suffering before killing them. Nice little touch from the writers or animators to show just how sadistic Sidious is.
It seems Sith and Jedi can’t actually force choke their opponents unles they aren’t force sensitive or let their guards down cause dooku could easily just do that to obi wan and anakin
@@connorhodge23 Yeah, probably a Force user can just push the Dark user or similar and break their concentration, it DOES have its uses and can work sometimes even against a trained user, but is not a 100% wiining move
@@connorhodge23yes they can if they’re significantly stronger than their opponents. Sidious force chokes anakin in a force vision fight between him, Yoda and anakin in the clone wars. Also, Sidious chokes Dooku on a hologram from Half way across the galaxy in the clone wars too. If the person using the force is a lot stronger than who they’re using it on then they can easily break their force shield and ragdoll them, as seen in this fight when Sidious easily manhandles Maul and savage with the force.
@@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.” ?
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 believe it’s a defensive stance right? I’d like to believe that at first Maul is on the defensive, maybe hoping (really praying) that maybe him and Savage can over power Sidious somehow. But after Savage dies it looks like Maul goes full attack mode and brings out the second saber.
@@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 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
Can we just talk about how it's super amazing that they gave Palpatine two lightsabers in this scene purely to fix a minor plot hole in episode 3 that you really wouldn't notice unless someone pointed it out? (In his fight against Mace, Palpatine loses his lightsaber, but then has it again when he later fights Yoda. Giving him two fixes this with so little effort, it's amazing).
Legends explains this further. Palpy made a whole bunch of them and hid them inside the statues in his office. He even gives one to Vader to use as a replacement for his lightsaber post-Ep.3. The guy is crazy prepared to Batman levels.
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
@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.
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
If Sidious knew the hit could've killed him or severely wounded him he would've countered it, he's basically just playing with his food in this fight and probably knew he could tank the tackle just to give them the illusion that they're actually on par with him.
@@williamleonardreesejr.1992 Honestly it kinda does like Savage hit him with his horns, I think Palpatine can just take that kind of hit because he's Palpatine
I can understand why palpatine enjoyed this so much he literally spends every waking moment in an office surrounded by jedi whilw pretending to be someone else. But here he can just be himself with no hiding
Oh i always root for them. Doesnt everyone? Nobody wants to see the heroes, just the maniacal, brutal, interesting villains. Every ***FANTASY*** movie and show i have ever watched i always root for the villain. I WANT the heroes to die, although i know it wont happen.
@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.
What lol honestly it's stupid, why did Sidious even both to swing as if he didn't see that block from a million miles away, having a cool looking scene is alright but when it just doesn't make any real sense it isn't good
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.
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.
neither does padme also takes no fall damage, also the clone that fell with her.......I think you can't take fall damage in star wars, like borderlands or apex
The fact that Mace Windu managed it to defeat Sidious in lightsaber combat is, after seeing this fight, just a showcase of how powerful Mace was. I would have loved to see a lightsaber duell between him and Maul
Palpatine did let mace hurt him so he could manipulate Anakin to dark side. His goal was not to kill mace, only to turn anakin. If Anakin was not in the picture, the fight would be much different. No wonder he killed 3 jedi cuz they stand in his way and he let the best of them be alive. All smart understands that lol. In addition, there’s no one enjoying fights more than sidious himself haha. if mace is so “powerful” he would come alone not 3 jedis with him lol
@@The_Sandwich1984 No, that guy is right, he sense the confusion of Anakin and he was emotionally manipulating him so he can go to the dark side, after the decision of Anakin, Sidious finished him "Unlimited power:" Rings you a bell?
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 😂
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.
I love Palpatine here. He is just having the best of times when he is not having to deal with the Senate, a poor-running Republic, and feckless Jedi. This probably was like a major stress reliever for him
@@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.
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.
I dont think people actually realise that maul could have ruled the galaxy if it weren't for this fight, not only was he a tremendous fighter, he was a brilliant strategist and politician which often gets forgotten. I think he learnt all this from his master, but ultimately he could have taken a lot more but, I don't even think we saw maul at his full power.
The whole story of Maul is about failure and wasted potential. He would have ruled the Galaxy and reformed the Shadow Collective in George Lucas Episodes: VII-VIII-IX. But as we see in Rebels and Clone Wars, Maul always got close to complete his goals, until he was defeated in the last minute. That is one of the reasons why his death in Rebels is so well made and tragic.
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
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
The fact that savage and maul had so much potential to grow into powerful warriors is actually amazing the fact that sidious himself had to see for savage's death and mauls submission
@@taraungoogle8482 Maul was the only one that Palps was worried about. He's the reason Palps made the trip to Mandalore personally. Savage was just a pawn in Palps way.
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.
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
I think this fight showed how effective sidious is as a master. Mauls training went so far he competed against sidious in a duel one on one. Maul was nothing in terms of force but his physical skill is just to underrated
Disagree on the force part, dude kept himself alive after being cut in half and held his body together with nothing but the force for over a decade. Sidious was an insanely competent teacher
@@apparentlyjeremy you misunderstand Iwas comparing maul to sidious with force Maul choked sateen without even looking at her. He's very competent but nothing compared to sidious
@@fivosbadekas3331holding his hood up with the force is probably as second nature to him as masking his force presence from all the Jedi around him 24/7. He probably does it without even thinking about it.
@@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 🎶
@@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.
Through the show we see Jedi try to kick Savage’s leg and he isn’t fazed. But at 2:42 we see Sidious kick Savage so hard with ONE leg that Savage’s entire body goes flying. Really great way to show just how powerful Palpatine is.
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).
We need more Sith vs Sith fights in Star Wars, the sheer aggression on their choreography, especially after Savage's death, is impressive: two force users, fuelled by rage and violence, going all out in the dark side with full intention to kill each other. We need more of this.
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
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.
I gotta say, Sidious fights way more better in the Clone Wars than in Revenge of the Sith. This really shows how powerful Sidious is cause we’ve always just seen him as this old, wise guy on the sidelines, but when he’s doing stuff himself it’s crazy to just see the action he can pull
I also love the detail of how scared Maul is of Sidious. First hint was Maul recognizing Sidious almost immediately and proceeds to bow to him as Savage has like no idea what’s happening. And then he begs for mercy which is so unlike Maul it kind of shocked us. Just another detail to show how much power Sidious has
This is the kind of fight they wanted for him in the Prequels. But from I understand, George wanted Ian in the fights as much as possible. So he had to lighten the choreo.
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.
Imagine being taken from your mother and being tortured your whole life,having your life destroyed and then being abandoned by your master.Then years later when you think you have power all of a sudden that man walks back into your life and then murders your brother just to get your attention,man that’s truly terrifying.
I don't see your point.You're just talking about Palpatine's ability to feed off the power of his enemies just like Windu? Still doesn't make up for a vampiric analogy.
A. Triangle Yeah. I suppose I had been watching too many vampire movies at that point and I took it a bit too literally. Then again, you never know what Sheev is capable of.
I like rewatching this fight. It's so detailed. During the whole duel, Sidious is more focused on Maul. Completely humoring Oppresses attacks. Since he is aware of Mauls familiarity with his blindspots and openings. It was only until Palpatine realized Maul was opening him up to allow Savage to take the first blow. A deception that only further insulted Sidious even more.
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
It is nuts. Absolutely nuts this scene. I mean, Maul's a pretty nasty guy, plenty bad, but he has his motives despite his executions. But when Palpatine shows up, Maul is met with sheer, incomprehensible absolute evil. He plays with them, revels and chuckles as he stabs Opress. He's fast, an old man against two Zabrak warriors and not even breaking a sweat. It makes Maul look like a hero in this scene. And when you think about it objectively - Maul dualwielding with the darksaber against a spry dualwielding Palpatine under Mandalore. Definitely one of the most iconic fights in Star Wars.
The minute Maul knows Palpatine’s here, he’s afraid. His ego is destroyed, his fighting style is defensive, he resorts to try and trick Palpatine at first. Just goes to show that Palpatine was always powerful.
"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."
Sidious is so brutal in this fight, from impaling Savage and launching him off a cliff to force slamming Maul and electrocuting him even after he begged for mercy. I wish we could’ve seen more of this type of action from Sidious in CW or the films. Also goddamn form 7 looks clean asf with CW animation.
Made em look like light work omg Sidious, Yoda, & Windu really were on a whole different level than anyone else before the fall of the Republic & rise of the Empire
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

This fight shows how great a teacher Dooku was. Opress could not have received too much in the way of saber and Force training yet was able to contend with Sidious, whereas three members of the Jedi council were killed in seconds (with Sidious only using one blade)

@@connorhodge23 Yeah, probably a Force user can just push the Dark user or similar and break their concentration, it DOES have its uses and can work sometimes even against a trained user, but is not a 100% wiining move
@@connorhodge23yes they can if they’re significantly stronger than their opponents. Sidious force chokes anakin in a force vision fight between him, Yoda and anakin in the clone wars. Also, Sidious chokes Dooku on a hologram from Half way across the galaxy in the clone wars too. If the person using the force is a lot stronger than who they’re using it on then they can easily break their force shield and ragdoll them, as seen in this fight when Sidious easily manhandles Maul and savage with the force.
And darth Vader mastered it to the point of using two fingers making a zero space to breath
So yeah it seems force is the easiest dark side ability

Yea that was pretty cool
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.
@@Marcelelias11This is probably what he wanted, to be perfectly honest.
He asks for mercy because he knows sidious is going to torture him and not end his life quickly
1:58 Maul doing the Kenobi stance gets me EVERY time
Obi-wan really left his mark on maul to the point he’s even doing his pose.
Guy feared for his life upon seeing the senate
I believe it’s a defensive stance right?
I’d like to believe that at first Maul is on the defensive, maybe hoping (really praying) that maybe him and Savage can over power Sidious somehow. But after Savage dies it looks like Maul goes full attack mode and brings out the second saber.
Yeup that's the Form 3 defensive stance
Palps thinks all these fancy Jedi forms are hilarious, but plays along anyway
You can tell Sidious got salty over Maul landing a solid kick and decided to show off his mastery of the force lol
Yeah if you watch it slow you can see he was pissed
He decided it’s time to stop playing with his food
Maul is weak yo. 🤣🤣🤣
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.
Ashoka had to do an entire siege get the republic and with the help of Death Watch to capture maul
Palpatine just walked in there
Palpatine dont need a army for that
Sometimes a small and quiet force can achieve more than a large and loud one.
Death Watch was on Maul’s Side. Bo-Katan’s faction had a different name. Regardless, funny joke.
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 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.” 😂
Sidious in his mind: Cha cha real smooth
Sidious against Savage is like an adult figgting a kid
😂😂
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
Wow how is this not top comment
Can we just talk about how it's super amazing that they gave Palpatine two lightsabers in this scene purely to fix a minor plot hole in episode 3 that you really wouldn't notice unless someone pointed it out?
(In his fight against Mace, Palpatine loses his lightsaber, but then has it again when he later fights Yoda. Giving him two fixes this with so little effort, it's amazing).
Omg never realized that! Great catch
Legends explains this further. Palpy made a whole bunch of them and hid them inside the statues in his office. He even gives one to Vader to use as a replacement for his lightsaber post-Ep.3.
The guy is crazy prepared to Batman levels.
Why didn't he used both in ep 3?
@@oldaccount294 because George Lucas forgor 💀
@@inaminayo5327cause he felt he didn’t need em I guess. He thought that Savage and Maul together were becoming a genuine threat so he used two here
i think palpatine was laughing so much because because he was tired of just chilling with the republic and was finally able to get in a 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
He was having lots of fun

He likes being psiitice

The way maul says “I sense a presence. A presence I haven’t felt since.... master!” You can hear the shock and terror.
It's also a nice little homage to when Vader senses Obi-Wan on the Death Star in Episode IV.

@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.
Sean Doughty i dont think terror was the right word it was in anticipation. To finally prove himself again
Sean Doughty he’s hearing boss music
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. 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.

To be considered as a rival by Sidious, I think that’s actually a pretty good compliment.
Maul has done so much in so short a time. Had he gotten his way any further, his Shadow Collective would have been a threat to his own plans.
@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.
Aaron Carlos Gonzalez I agree Grievous is more of a warlord, if anything.
@Irfan Alddin Grievous wasn't a Sith lord, and Vader was one of the most powerful Sith to have existed so I'm not sure what to make of this comment.
@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.

The fact that Mace Windu managed it to defeat Sidious in lightsaber combat is, after seeing this fight, just a showcase of how powerful Mace was. I would have loved to see a lightsaber duell between him and Maul

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.

I dont think people actually realise that maul could have ruled the galaxy if it weren't for this fight, not only was he a tremendous fighter, he was a brilliant strategist and politician which often gets forgotten. I think he learnt all this from his master, but ultimately he could have taken a lot more but, I don't even think we saw maul at his full power.
exactly why sidious went to mandalore personally to stop him from becoming a threat
The whole story of Maul is about failure and wasted potential. He would have ruled the Galaxy and reformed the Shadow Collective in George Lucas Episodes: VII-VIII-IX. But as we see in Rebels and Clone Wars, Maul always got close to complete his goals, until he was defeated in the last minute. That is one of the reasons why his death in Rebels is so well made and tragic.
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.

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
Oxiinx would’ve been better if she went to the dark side and Ben kills her with both dark and light side powers.

„Shall we be off then?“
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.
I gotta say, Sidious fights way more better in the Clone Wars than in Revenge of the Sith. This really shows how powerful Sidious is cause we’ve always just seen him as this old, wise guy on the sidelines, but when he’s doing stuff himself it’s crazy to just see the action he can pull
I also love the detail of how scared Maul is of Sidious. First hint was Maul recognizing Sidious almost immediately and proceeds to bow to him as Savage has like no idea what’s happening. And then he begs for mercy which is so unlike Maul it kind of shocked us. Just another detail to show how much power Sidious has
This is the kind of fight they wanted for him in the Prequels. But from I understand, George wanted Ian in the fights as much as possible. So he had to lighten the choreo.
@@DubeIncorperatedah got it. Sidious really is power tho
Animation allows for a lot more creative fight choreography than live action.
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.
Being called a 'rival' by one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy is actually a _huge_ compliment.
It's worth noting how Lucas's original plans for the sequels actually had Darth Maul as the main villian.
It’s actually scary as fuck
Why
Copied, another comment that was posted. Two years before yours.
@@ewawalczyna3294 to rival sidious you have to be extremely powerful. Hence why sidious is actually complementing maul
My boy Maul really did all that work to only rule for a day 😂😂
And he completely deserve what he got at the end
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
This whole arc Maul was just kicking ass and taking names, then the senate shows up and beats him in a 2v1 in less than 5 minutes.
that's why he is the senate
It was fantastic. I hope in the new season of clone wars they have the arc where Maul is busted out of prison by the Mandalorians
@K Darth Sidious is gay hahahaha
Maul and Savage were beaten as soon as they couldnt break Sidious' force push. Everything after was just Sidious toying with them.
Darksaber here we come!
The best part about this is that Palpatine is acting like this is the most fun he’s had in a while.
I mean this was basically a nice distraction and a chance to stretch his ass kicking legs for the first time in decades probably
Ole Sheev was happier than when you bust that really good nut after a long dry spell.
I think it was like a vacation for him
I bet the "use" he had for maul was beating the shit out of him when he became emperor
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.
Imagine being taken from your mother and being tortured your whole life,having your life destroyed and then being abandoned by your master.Then years later when you think you have power all of a sudden that man walks back into your life and then murders your brother just to get your attention,man that’s truly terrifying.
Palps was the only person I’ve ever seen force choke people with no actual movement.
The fact Sidious was smiling the whole fight makes him that much more terrifying
Dude was probably having the time of his life
Sidious is so powerful he could've killed them both easily with his force power
The only reason he used lightsabers was for the excitement
He is like the joker
@@romancapulus5577 he had like a 7 inch boner while he was doing it my guy
Sidious hasn't had a lightsaber fight in years so this was entertainment for him.
Sidious enjoys playing with his food.
AngryRedJuiceBox Food? He's not a fucking vampire, is he? That's no food for him. Windu is another pawn in his big chess game.
Isakaldaz Wulfazizsunus starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Palpatine there READ
I don't see your point.You're just talking about Palpatine's ability to feed off the power of his enemies just like Windu? Still doesn't make up for a vampiric analogy.
AngryRedJuiceBox cool comment, maul and savage were no matxh for him, he was just toying with them
A. Triangle
Yeah. I suppose I had been watching too many vampire movies at that point and I took it a bit too literally. Then again, you never know what Sheev is capable of.
This was the moment when it felt like God himself intervened
For real!😂
@@supremeteen1975why?
In that case, it was Satan.
I like rewatching this fight. It's so detailed. During the whole duel, Sidious is more focused on Maul. Completely humoring Oppresses attacks. Since he is aware of Mauls familiarity with his blindspots and openings. It was only until Palpatine realized Maul was opening him up to allow Savage to take the first blow. A deception that only further insulted Sidious even more.
*That one guy who has level 500 palpatine on hero showdown:*
Legit lmao
Me
Me with my MAX Maul
Staff Sgt. Sykes who asked for you to reply?
Loo fax
at least we got to see palpatine in action before the series ended
Yeah and he fought Anakin and Yoda whilst yoda was on some mad drugs
+e115mastery Hahahaha
Yes, Sidious is an awesome villain
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
His saber skills are hardly a joke in Revenge of the Sith considered that he killed three of the greatest Jedi Masters in a split-second.
“I used your training master.” I just realized this meant that Sidious taught maul how to cheat death.
It is nuts. Absolutely nuts this scene. I mean, Maul's a pretty nasty guy, plenty bad, but he has his motives despite his executions. But when Palpatine shows up, Maul is met with sheer, incomprehensible absolute evil. He plays with them, revels and chuckles as he stabs Opress. He's fast, an old man against two Zabrak warriors and not even breaking a sweat. It makes Maul look like a hero in this scene. And when you think about it objectively - Maul dualwielding with the darksaber against a spry dualwielding Palpatine under Mandalore. Definitely one of the most iconic fights in Star Wars.
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).
Perfect amount of likes.
"You know that kid that distracted your fight on naboo"
The minute Maul knows Palpatine’s here, he’s afraid. His ego is destroyed, his fighting style is defensive, he resorts to try and trick Palpatine at first. Just goes to show that Palpatine was always powerful.
Definitely one of the top 3 lightsaber duels in the Clone Wars
“There is no mercy.”
This line alone summarizes Darth Sidious as a whole.
"The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am." - Darth Vader.
Brenda Forster
The crazy thing is Vader wasn’t kidding, he was in fact telling the truth
@@edsr164 Yes, indeed.
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.
“Chancellor, how were the negotiations?”
“Short”
negotiations with a lightsaber - anakin
"-Very short, I didn't even break a sweat I just giggle at how helpless they are"
"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."
Aggressive, the negations were.. aggressive.
“I had a nice work out while I was there..” - Papa Palpatine
Sidious is so brutal in this fight, from impaling Savage and launching him off a cliff to force slamming Maul and electrocuting him even after he begged for mercy. I wish we could’ve seen more of this type of action from Sidious in CW or the films. Also goddamn form 7 looks clean asf with CW animation.
Made em look like light work omg Sidious, Yoda, & Windu really were on a whole different level than anyone else before the fall of the Republic & rise of the Empire
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.
"Those who beg for mercy are too weak to deserve it"
- Darth Bane
He's not cannon
Kyle K he’s literally in season 6
@@kylek7306 If the last Jedi is cannon, but kotor is not, then I don’t give a shit about cannon or not cannon.
@@coolusername337 those new movies are trash. Clone wars and marvel vader 2015 cannon is fire. Kotor was extremely lazy story and character creating. I can do the same shit with hero editor. That's why it's non cannon everyone is so op from lazy fat ass game creators that it's stupid
@@kylek7306 I’m not saying everything from Disney is bad. The clone wars is one of my favorite shows, along with the mandalorian, and kotor isn’t the best. I guess I’m more mad that the original sequels in the books was replaced by shit.
Edit: also, I love the Vader comics.
the fact that maul, for several seconds of the ending was a match for palpatine, is really underrated
This fight shows how great a teacher Dooku was. Opress could not have received too much in the way of saber and Force training yet was able to contend with Sidious, whereas three members of the Jedi council were killed in seconds (with Sidious only using one blade)
Sidious only played with them and in the battle with the 3 jedi he used a force power (idk the name) to weak them
@@marcelxd1633force scream doesn’t work on dark side users so no you’re wrong. That’s the exact reason why Sidious didn’t use it.
@@RealisticFPS_
Jedi are light side user dude
@@marcelxd1633 darth maul and savage are not Jedi though, think you may of missed my point.
@@RealisticFPS_
I sayed that he used force scream against the jedi and not against maul/savage
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.
