In some fanfics, there might be a plotline where Palpatine tries to corrupt Anakin even further during the battle, using psychological warfare. Anakin, on the other hand, has to resist this while also fighting for his life. This adds a layer of psychological drama to the physical fight between them.
One key element is the power struggle. It's about showing how Sidious' immense power in the Dark Side of the Force clashes with Maul's own strength and determination. Another element could be the backstory, like how their relationship developed over time.
It really depends on how the author writes it. If the fanfic focuses on Anakin's potential and his growth beyond what we saw in the movies, he could win. For example, if he has fully mastered some new form of lightsaber combat or Force ability.
In most cases, Sidious would likely win. Sidious is extremely powerful in the Force and highly skilled in combat. He has been shown to manipulate events and people on a large scale. Maul, while a formidable opponent, is not as powerful or as devious as Sidious.
Well, Palpatine's background is filled with secrecy and deception. He was a master of political manipulation and used his Sith powers in the shadows to gain control. His early life was marked by his apprenticeship under Darth Plagueis and his plotting to overthrow the Republic.
Maybe Palpatine sees Ezra as a potential tool or apprentice at first. He tries to manipulate Ezra into joining him. Ezra, on the other hand, is conflicted because he might see some good in Palpatine's grand plans for the galaxy, but eventually realizes the cost of following the dark side. Their relationship would be a complex dance of manipulation and resistance.
Maybe some of the Jedi Council members. They were the ones who were constantly in conflict with Palpatine's plans, so they could be in the story to show the power struggle between the Jedi and Palpatine.
Well, in the 'Maul in Solo A Star Wars Story', Han Solo might interact with Maul in some way. Han is always getting into all sorts of adventures and situations, and Maul's presence in the story could draw him in. Also, Chewbacca could be involved in the interactions. He is Han's loyal friend and sidekick, and they often face challenges together. Lando Calrissian might also have some form of interaction with Maul, considering his own role in the seedy underbelly of the Star Wars galaxy.
