Darth Vader, who is already likely the most overpowered character in Star Wars canon, was granted a completely unfair advantage against Maul, Devon Izara, and Jedi Master Eeko-Dio Daki in the Maul - Shadow Lord finale. Darth Vader has been one of cinema's most iconic and well-recognized villains since he debuted in 1977's A New Hope. A lot of Star Wars fans are critical of the way Disney has handled the franchise since it acquired Lucasfilm from George Lucas, but one aspect most can agree on is that Vader has become even more terrifying and ruthless.Fans were excited and shocked to see Darth Vader show up in the finale of Disney+'s Maul - Shadow Lord, and the episode itself didn't disappoint, as it featured a massive lightsaber battle with the dark lord right at the center. Specifically, Darth Vader, Marrok, and the Crow (the latter two are both Inquisitors, for reference) faced off against Maul, Devon Izara, and Jedi Master Eeko-Dio Daki. Fans were most excited to see Maul and Vader finally lock blades, as that had never happened before in Star Wars canon, and it only occurred once, 25 years ago, in Legends.Because Maul's leg was extremely injured, Devon was still a Jedi Padawan, and Eeko-Dio Daki wasn't an extremely notable lightsaber duelist, Vader already had the upper hand in a major way. Not to mention, Vader also had the two Inquisitors on his side, giving him even more of an advantage. Read full article on The Direct.
