    Espisode 1 is crap for two reasons Jar Jar waank sorry I mean binks and midiclhorieiens or however you spell that stupid word.

    Episode 2 is awesome ppl are just sore about episode 1 and some ppl are also very childish and influencial and do and say things cause that's what everyone else does.

    It's vader plain and simple. Maul gets sliced in two and doesn't even survive the first film for cryin' out loud.

    I thought making Yoda have a fight against Dooku waws ridiculous. Everyone in the cinema thought it was hilarious, but I thought it was tacky. He was such a dignified character before that - my opinion is that George Lucas RUINED Yoda's character for a cheap laugh, the idiot. I hate the prequels, I think they're lame.

    On a totally different point, did anybody else realise that the guy who did the voice of Darth Vader (James Earl Jones) also did the voice of Mufasa in the Lion King?

    Because Vader was a jedi who turned to the Dark Side, he is technically, not actually a true Sith Lord, but a Dark Jedi, similar but not the same. Darth Maul, however, is probably a true Sith Lord, and, I am told, means he is more powerful than Vader.

    However, Vader is the coolest, baddest, bad ass mo' fo' ever.

    I know, and it saddens me that dispite disliking 1 & 2, I'll be there for Episode 3. I think it's my last shred of hope.
    As for who'd win? Vadar. He might not be able to put Full Sith Lord down on his CV, but just because he ain't pure evil doesn't mean he couldn't hand Maul his ass on a plate with a side of Dooku fries.

    Vadar would win eaisly, he was the frikin choosen one.

    darth maul wasnt a sith lord ,he was an apprentice,sidiuos was the sith lord.

    Yoda fightin duku didnt dimminish him in anyway,the rest of the film sucked,yoda was probably the best lightsaber dueler ,and not to show that wud have been ****,if ppl laughed then they clearlt werent real fans.

    cant wait for ep3,obi wan against anakin at the lava pits


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 302 ✭✭Grimlock


    Darth Brawl why did you not like ep2, and why am I thinking you'll be one of the first ones back here bitchin about ep3 after you see it?

    While in ep1 JarJar is annoying but there's an awful lot more to the film than that. Ep2 no one has said why they didn't like it. I can't wait to see ep3 I think it'll rawk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,082 ✭✭✭Tobias Greeshman


    Darth Vader would whip Darth Maul's ass, I reckon he has stronger power over the force, and well, just generally stronger. Besides Darth Vader is way cooler too.

    Bring on Episode III, I cant fecking wait for it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25 Darth Brawl


    no i cnat wait for ep3,its gonna be class,i thought episode 2 left out way to much stuff,like if u read the labrynth of evil,u will see wat i mean. im also looking forward to revenge of the sith game on ps2 ,been on the lucas arts website and its looks great


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    firstly: Vader is leet! Maul is a n00b!

    now, I actually liked Ep 2, I mean it wasn't nearly as good as ep's 4 to 6, but it was a hell of a lot better then The Phantom Menace, that film just sucked balls!

    and I am looking forward to Ep 3, I think it will rok my sox off! I mean, as long as it doesn't do a Matricks: instead of answering the questions, it just asks a **** load more

    I'll chime in here. Episode 2 was miles better than phantom menace; it was in fact a fairly good film. But the acting/direction was really rubbish for the most part (I know the original films weren't Shakespear, but still), and some of the foreshadowing got on my nerves (eg: Anakin - "I think there should be just one guy telling everyone what to do").
    All that said, it was such a vast improvement on Episode 1 that I've got high hopes for Episode three.

    Darth Brawl, those books, while nice and interesting, arent canon. Anything canon and actually part of the story is included in the movies. otherwise its just candy to make cash outta people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,909 ✭✭✭✭iguana


    Are any of the people who said maul above the age of 9? Seriously?

    Vader was the strongest jedi ever, until Anakin Solo, possibly.

    Yoda's character was completely demeaned by the fight with Dooku, he looked like a green Sonic the Hedgehog, ffs.

    Ep 1+2 would have possibly made 1 pretty great movie. They could have left out all the overblown special fx driven crap, pod-race, car chase around corusant, vist to jar-jars people and Jar Jar himself. The remainder would have made 1 great 1st episode. It would have meant having 2 Anakin's in one movie but I think we could have dealt with it.

    And why was Amidalla a Queen if that was actually the title of an elected official. It makes no sense.

    oviously vader.maul got cut in 2


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    This is ridiculous.

    But tbh not as ridiculous as the final scene in RotJ where Vader seems to loose all his skill, trip over his own feet and reduce himself to the effective of a kitten before getting his hand cut off.

    That scene in RoTJ was cool but made no real sense considering Vaders genuine abilities with a Lightsaber. But then again, thats the old trilogy in contrast with the new one.

    If only they could remake the old scenes in the original trilogy to update the lightsaber fights, which look so clumsy and ungraceful, with no visual wow factor.

    Someone delete this before George Lucas reads it! We have enough problems with the whole "Han shot first" debacle ;)

    Although I imagine that Vader would win in the hypothetical fight, Maul had an excellent theme tune.

    Plus, at the time that they were both alive, Vader - Anakin - was only a kid. So if they did fight, realistically, Maul would beat the little chap. He's not so crap as to lose to a "Youngling"

    Also Anakin wasn't know as "Darth Vader" then either. This is a hypothetical question.

    Was Maul one of the original race of sith??

    I know Sith is just a religion started by the dark jedi, but Maul fits the desciption to a T of the race the dark jedi converted to sith.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,621 ✭✭✭WarZoneBrother


    I prefer DarthVader as thats my name on ares

    Where did you get the description of this sith race? Ive never heard of it but it sounds familiar. Maul was actualy Zabrak, the same species as jedi council member Eeth Koth. Mauls tatooes are similar to thoose worn by most sith before there were only 2. Also the the Zabrak are meant to have a fondness of tatoos but nothing to the extent of maul's,his covering his entire bod (both his red and blac colouring was tatooed):eek:



    ps i think vader would beat maul robotic hands down, Vader was way to new school to have his ass whooped by some over-tatooed punk that had been taught by a fossil.:cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    Vader all the way. Maul was just a convienent pawn the Emperor used as a spy. Vader was the iron fist that the Emperor used to rule an entire galaxy. Also he could fly better.

    [cEMAN**']But then you also didn't see Vader using lightning like Dooku.

    To be honest do you really think in the middle of a saber battle, stopping and holding your hand up to choke 1 person is a good idea when there is another one attacking you as well?

    Think about it as well. For the age and the training he had, Anakin faught Dooku and lost. Got his ass kicked. So did Obi wan.

    Obi wan killed Maul even though it was still 2 on 1 for most of that battle.

    Vader only killed Obi cause he let him.

    So add Dooku up there as a third option.....see how many votes he'd get!

    First of all, Dooku is among the top 5 saber fighters in the movies(Yoda, Palpatine, Obi Wan and Anakin are better, perhaps Mace Windu too) Anakin, an unexperience padawan wouldn't stand a chance in ep 2. Neither did Obi Wan, Dooku is trained for saber to saber combat, not deflecting blasters like Obi Wan and Anakin. With more training Anakin did kill Dooku in ep 3, a master regarded as one of the best saber fighters of that era.

    Second of all, Vader would have been able to use lightning if his arms wasn't mechanic. In fact, if his hands weren't mechanic Luke wouldn't stand a chance, neither would Obi Wan in ep IV.

    Third of all, Obi Wan won just because Darth Maul didn't remember to get rid of Qui Gonn's Lightsaber. Darth Maul was clearly better until that point of the fight.

    Fourth of all, and I know I'm being picky, but Vader's lightsaber never actually touched Obi Wan's body. Technicaly, Obi Wan commited suicide.

    Heard that kids, suicide is cool. Obi Wan did it :P

    Oh, and Vader would win. The saber fights were alot slower in the old trilogy because they didn't have the same technology, the actors didn't have access to the same training and George Lucas wanted it to look like the saber weigh 50 lbs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,225 ✭✭✭fillefatale


    VADER.

    He is the chosen one after all! Plus he was in training for almost 20 years with Darth Sidious. Maul's small fry, Obi Wan as an apprentice beat him for goodness sake.
