Maul's Duel Wield
New guy here, just recently joined this subreddit after binging the Shadow Lord series - the combat was sick as hell (got to see the signature Nick Gillard's fast paced fighting style from prequels ) and the story, character was on point. (Its's a solid 9-9.5/10 for me)
I don't know if anyone has discuss this before but I want to hear you guys thought since this has been stuck with me when i got to Ep 9 fight at the underground sewer: What's your opinion on Maul with the dual wield technique - Jar'kai? Mine are as follows:
- Kind of took me off guard since his whole character, personality, who he is was shaped by the famous double-edge and Juyo style.
- Although we don't get to see much of it but from the display, i think he was mad proficient with dual wield. Of course probably not as good as the double edge style that he been training his whole life but the 1v2 with Marrok and the Crow was just WOW. Should there be more movie/series that portray Jar'kai duelist (like Ahsoka) i expect the combat to be nothing less than this.
- This is purely hypothetical but does Maul have better chances against Vader in the later episode if he was duel wielding? I know that Vader's hybrid form V combine with his insanely heavy suit that makes him almost like an unstoppable train counters Maul's form VII and double edge lightsabers. So i was just wondering how do you guys think it would have played out if he went against the Dark lord with dual blades instead of double edge?
P.S: So glad the series did justice to Inquisitors. They were powerhouses, watching both Marrok and the Crow move really makes me fear for life of anyone unfortunate enough on the opposing side
