* TheWorfEffect: The Jedi are not quite up to the level of the masters from the canon films, serving as a means to show just how much of a badass Maul is. Justified as at this point in the timeline, the Jedi haven't dealt with the Sith in a millennium. Even a master of Qui-Gon's caliber had his hands full with Maul.

* AdaptationalBadass: Downplayed. Maul is portrayed as a nigh unstoppable killing machine who can duel ''six'' Jedi at once, with several masters among them at that, and win. His original cinematic incarnation from ''The Phantom Menace'' is slightly less impressive by comparison, as he ultimately loses to a padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi in the climactic fight on Naboo, albeit in large part only because of letting his arrogance get the better of him when he had Obi-Wan at his mercy.

* BaitTheDog: [[spoiler:Maul hesitates against the heartbroken female padawan and he clearly goes easy on her when she musters the will to fight him solo, indicating that he does have a shred of conscience left. But in the end, [[RedemptionRejection a Sith's gotta do what a Sith's gotta do]].]]

wishy washiness undermines the trope by obscuring how tough the character is.


* BaldHeadOfToughness: The Jedi Berserker is as bald as a Shaolin monk and probably demonstrates the best solo performance against Maul.
