My Highlight of this Episode: Hera, maneuvering Anakin out in a space- battle. With his own tricks and a full badass pretty Anakin- like move. Kanan got wet pants.

Steven Ellis

Why on earth do some people pay to be a patron then trash talk in comments? What a freaking loser you’d have to be to do that 😂

Steven Ellis

Peak Vader absolutely mops the floor with Peak Maul. Maul is awesome but Vader is a different level of powerful and SIGNIFICANTLY more refined as a duelist.

Henry Carhart

If they fight on Mustafar... You’d think Vader has the edge, but: Maul thrives in chaos. Lava, falling platforms, fire everywhere? He’s gonna parkour through that shit like it’s a skatepark. BUT: Vader knows this terrain. His suit is basically fireproof. He’s fought in literal hell before. And emotionally? Maul doesn’t know Mustafar’s significance. Vader does—and that can either strengthen or weaken him, depending on his state of mind. But if they're fighting on Coruscant... It would be evenly matched. Maul would use rooftops, subways, crime alleys. His old Crimson Dawn skills would kick in. Vader could turn civilians and tech against him, manipulate fear in the populace, use brute force (pun fully intended) to draw Maul out. What about Jedi Temple ruins? Maul might lose composure—he has deep scars from the Jedi, but he respects the Force's legacy in a twisted way. Vader feeds off the desecration. He slaughtered younglings here. That act alone could supercharge him with Dark Side energy. ...I spent WAYYYY too much time on this but I've put a lot of thought into it. I'm sorry, not sory. 😂

Henry Carhart

When it's Peak Vader versus Peak Maul, the setting matters SO MUCH. If it's a hallway onboard a Star Destroyer, Vader wins 100%. If it's a jungle? Maul might actually have the upper hand.

Andrew Nucci

I can be up for debate. But no doubt in my mind, peak Vader over peak maul! It would be a great fight, but Vader is to strong for maul in peak form.

Charlie Fontana

Hera is a Twi’Lek. Same species as Aayla Secura, the big titted, blue chick, Jedi from clone wars

Carmen

You should watch Mandalorian after this I don't know which one comes after that I want to say after Mandalorian watch Ahsoka then Obi-Wan

Hell weakened Vader could easily beat peak maul Vader is just to powerful. Some fun sw lore. The emperor intentionally gave Vader a flawed suit after his defeat on mustafar, because if he gave him a state of the art suit even more advanced than grevious then even the emperor couldn’t defeat him. Literally the only one who would have a chance is peak Luke. Tbh their is one other character but hes not cannon (doesn’t exist in the current sw story) that being Galen Marek aka star killer Vader’s secret apprentice and son to 2 Jedi knights from the force unleashed games. Dude was strong enough to beat multiple Jedi knights and masters, vaporize people with the force, pull a star destroyer out of low orbit, and beat Vader twice. Honestly a really cool character with a great story sadly he is way too powerful to put in the mainline sw shows and films. Also fun fact Sam Witwer who mocap’d and voice acted starkiller and the emperor in the game also did the emperor in this show as well as Darth Maul in the Clone Wars dude is a huge sw geek and an incredible voice actor it’s crazy some of the voices he’s pulled off He is constantly in pain in a suit just barely keeping him alive. He has to use the dark side and his pain to even be able to move and function. That’s why he has a “meditation pod” (life support pod) you see him in ever so often. He has to hook up to it to “rest”. And while wearing all of that he still overpowered the emperor when his son was in danger. That is also the reason he died. He no longer had the dark side to fuel his rage powering his broken suit. So with his life support no longer functioning he died

Carmen

At this point in the story Ahsoka has no idea Anakin is alive when she did the first thing she sensed Anakin and but she doesn't fully believe it yet one of the reasons she passed out is because Vader was also trying to enter her mind which he did which is how he knew she was alive

Zairan Brown

“I don’t want Vader to die.” Yeah… he’s not going to until Return of the Jedi, dumbass.

GlizzyPrinceChristian

Real life psychologists have said it’s a split personality disorder and some people have disagreed and agreed, but the majority of the people who conducted the study have said he has a split personality disorder. Shows signs of it as well. One is Evil and One is Good.

AJ Yoshida

Hera holding Vader off with Anakin’s favorite trick (spinning), is pure poetry.

Strip Weathers

Tbf Obi-Wan cut him in half, its kinda understandable why he might be upset

Alen The ALl-in

Maul had crazy potential (Not as crazy as Anakin but still crazy) but he never reached it. So Vader destroys Maul.

Alen The ALl-in

Vader/Anakin is known to be one of the best, maybe even the best Pilot in the galaxy

Strip Weathers

Any stage Vader would mop the floor with Maul with minimal effort

E-Hensley

Vader is a strange creature, he hates himself and who he used to be. So anything that reminds of Anakin reminds him of how much he hates himself

Connor Ross

peak vader would crush maul in ngl probs 1 or 2 hits. Remember ashoka kept up with maul and anakin was WAY stronger than ashoka. Not to mention peak vader in the suit (tho lost alot of mid count and potential from the lava and loss of all limbs) he is still overall more powerful than he was at peak anakin.

Tay Tay

Vader vs Maul? Let's put it this way...there's a reason Sidious discarded Maul to get Anakin as his new apprentice.

BrianHobbit7

Anakin was one of the best pilots in the galaxy so of course he can take on a fleet

BrianHobbit7

defo peak vader all day long

Ysbulldog

Maul would get WIPED

Michael

Peak Vader would win against maul 1000% no difficulty

Taylor

After watching this I can’t wait for you to watch the kenobi series

jxm82

I mean hes addressed this so many times. Its something you just gotta accept with his reactions.

Sharnia Buford

Your reactions are enjoyable but talking during dialogue you miss a lot. Btw Ahsoka does know but she's in denial. If you pay attention you can see that Ahsoka is actually going through the stages of grief. She knows it's Anakin but she's in denial.

Syntax_Juli

Peak Vader would by far defeat peak Maul and also what you said about sympathy for Obi-Wan and Ahsoka, he wants to kill Obi-Wan because Vader thinks Obi-Wan is the reason why Anakin lost Padme and fell to the dark side, I don't think that he wants to kill Ahsoka too, maybe becausee she reminds him of Anakin, but he sure doesn't want that as bad as to kill Obi-Wan. And it's crazy to see your reaction to such episodes, because you allready "freak out" and I allways have to think about whats to come and how little you are prepaired, not just with rebels. And one last thing, peak Vader is way more brutal than he is pictured in rebels, I haven't read the comics and books but of what I've seen and heard of it he is extremely brutal.

MSephiroth

You really need to understand more of how Vader and Anakin are NOT one and the same, not really anyway

Logan Staffer

I believe at this point Ashoka knows just hasn’t accepted it

Едуард Ігнатенко

You are so damn right man!

Едуард Ігнатенко

3:01 Fun fact: Vader could have very easily taken over the departing spaceship by force, but he didn't :)

DarnedStingray8

Peak Vader, and it's not even close.

Red powers

Vader wants Ahsoka dead because she reminds him of Anakin..Also yeah they would want them dead since they could be a threat. Also surprised if you haven't mentioned how Vader views Anakin as a separate person.

Slaya806

Not even close, Vader is 6’8, out bro in the nba

Kenobi7jn5

Peak

Ethan chappell

Hera is a Twi’lek, they’re from a planet called Ryloth. In season 1 of the clone wars, there was an Arc where the republic liberated their planet from the separatist.

crackdobby

It's insane how good of a pilot Vader is. Obi Wan did say that Anakin was the best star pilot in the galaxy

Brady Bird

I believe Vader is the best duelist with Dooku right behind so Maul has no chance

Cole Romero

0:40 according to a book of Star Wars characters I bought back in 4th grade like 11 yrs ago, Anakin is 6ft, and Vaders suit adds an extra 3 inches. So he is 6’3
