Jensaarai One | Versus Strikezone: Kazdan Paratus Vs. Maw (The Unhinged Abominations) @Jensaarai1 | Uploaded October 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
All footage of Kazdan Paratus is taken from Antoine Bandele's Let's Play of The Force Unleashed 1, and all footage of Maw is drawn from Lightning Bolt Forever's Let's Play of Dark Forces: Jedi Knight. Both are recommended viewing.
One of the hurdles I had to overcome in making this video was the difficulty in determining Maw's precise skill level. All we know for certain about him is that he's a fully trained Jedi Knight, a hardened Jedi killer, and has been honing his skills for decades. There is no information on his previous Jedi kills. He wasn't able to demonstrate anything against Jedi Master Qu Rahn because he was cut down so swiftly. And the official version of his fight with Kyle Katarn depicted Katarn defeating him by goading him into recklessly charging; a purely circumstantial victory and not a demonstration of combat skill from either combatant.
I opted to sidestep the issue, and I will be proceeding under the assumption that Paratus and Maw are equally skilled, and my arguments will be focused purely on the logistical factors. I will be using the bossfights with each character from their respective video games as the basis for my analysis of their fighting style, battlefield conduct, and tactics.
With all of that out of the way, let's begin: Kazdan Paratus and Maw; the bastard lovechild of Yoda and Doctor Octopus, and the amazing flying torso. If these two psychotic freaks ever met on the battlefield, who would win?
