why is maul above obi wan when obi wan has beaten him in pretty much every encounter they've been in, including ones that maul had the upper hand in

Maul has no business being above Kenobi. Vader is above Kenobi.
It is hard to place Luke due to lack of showings. The only opponent he regularly fought was someone actively not trying to turn him, not kill him. --- *Gheb is my other account* ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maul has no business being above Kenobi. Vader is above Kenobi. Again, this ranking is based on the films. Even though Obi-Wan "killed" Maul, there is no doubt IMO that Maul won the lightsaber duel. Obi-Wan got lucky with a surprise strike. And Kenobi defeated Vader on Mustafar and only allowed him to win in ANH. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Again, this ranking is based on the films.You just said characters in the films, not that we could only use the films. And the only reason Kenobi beat Vader on Mustafar was because Kenobi knew Anakin better than anyone, including playing to his arrogance. Anakin/Vader otherwise consistently performed better against similar opponents. The best example of which is Count Dooku. --- *Gheb is my other account* ... Copied to Clipboard!

Obi had an incredibly long duel with Vader, who was better than Maul. When Maul fought Qui-Gon & Obi, he kept brushing Obi aside and would deal with Qui-Gon one on one. At that point, Obi still had his training wheels on. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sidious is a master of all light-saber combat styles. He's probably the best there is.
Anakin was touted as the strongest and most accomplished Jedi of the Clone Wars for a reason. Honestly, Kenobi isn't really that great. He never goes on the offensive and always manages a win over his major opponents because they have a moment of pure rage and don't think clearly --- I've grown. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maul gets overrated because he was able to kill Qui-Gon, but he did so by suckering him into an environment that put Gui-Gon at a huge disadvantage.
Compare to Count Dooku who mopped the floor with Obi-Wan and Anakin in their first fight, went toe-to-toe with Yoda and held his own for a while, and then wrecked Obi-Wan's shit again in a 1v2 against him and Anakin. And that's just counting the movies. Hell if you don't count force powers I bet even Greivous could have given Maul a run for his money, dude just wasn't that good. Also I'm of the opinion that Windu didn't actually beat Sideous, the Emperor threw the fight as part of his plan to turn Vader. --- An Injury to One is an Injury to All https://iww.org/ ...

Sidious is a master of all light-saber combat styles. He's probably the best there is.Kenobi is excellent. One of the top duelist in the galaxy. He is just constantly up against other top duelist. Here is the thing, prior to Episode I, most Jedi trained in lightsaber duels out of tradition rather than need. The Sith had been extinct for centuries and the average Jedi, even most masters, would go their entire lives without being in a serious lightsaber duel. So most Jedi weren't particularly good at dueling, as it made far more sense to focus on training against blasters and the like. So someone like Kenobi might not seem as great but the sheer fact that he has fought multiple Sith Lords (who did train for lightsaber duels) and survived puts him in the top tier of duelist. --- *Gheb is my other account* ...

Pretty bad list.
Obi-Wan > Maul, even if you want to argue that Maul beat him and Kenobi killed him as he was celebrating, that was Episode 1 Obi. By RotS being able to swap hands with a bloodlusted Anakin should put him quite a bit above Maul Kylo steamrolls Rey in the one fair fight they have in TRoS and Rey cheap shots him while he's distracted. Luke's saber skills are also trash and should be below everyone from the prequels. Anakin should also be above Obi-Wan and Maul given his showings vs Dooku. --- Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all. This is where the fun begins. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Is Mace really considered the GOAT? Yes. His form allowed him to flirt with the Dark Side, tapping into both sides of the Force while maintaining his foothold in the Light -- something very few Jedi could achieve. He could also detect "shatterpoints," moments in the Force that gave him a special instantaneous insight into a momentary fracture or weak point in his opponents' fighting strategy. Windu was able to feed off the darkness and rage of his adversaries, hence why he defeated Sidious. And yes, Mace. Defeated. Sidious. ... Copied to Clipboard!

^ I actually can't argue with that. No idea why Mace gets to be so high, but I have no evidence to prove otherwise.It's really just because he beat The Senate. I know a ton of people debate whether he really won or Sidious threw the fight, but since we're only using movie feats and GL himself confirmed Windu won the fight I have to put him at the top Granted, this is sabers only. If we include force powers and/or non movie feats then Yoda and Sidious are a good bit above him.
