Palpatine's brutal duel with Darth Maul during the Clone Wars revealed the future Emperor's true power as a Sith Lord more than any of the movies.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Emperor Palpatine's duel with Darth Maul demonstrated his true power in the dark side more than any of the Star Wars movies ever have. Taking place during the Clone Wars era, Palpatine eventually took notice of his former apprentice's activities on the world of Mandalore. Although the future Emperor saw Maul as a potential new rival, that didn't mean Palpatine was worried about Maul ever usurping him.
Palpatine Uses Darth Vader's Force Choke When Palpatine first arrives on Mandalore in The Clone Wars season 5, episode 16, he's quickly met by two of Maul's new Mandalorian soldiers who came from the Death Watch, the small force of Mandalorians who still adhered to the planet's warrior ways despite the world's pacifist and neutral stance during the Clone Wars.
Palpatine Hides His Presence From Maul Until The Time Is Right It's also quite remarkable that Maul only senses Palpatine's presence until Darth Sidious wants him to. As seen in the Clone Wars episode, Maul felt the familiar presence of his old master only until Palpatine was about to enter the Duchess of Mandalore's throne room.
For the majority of the battle, the future Emperor is seen cackling as he throws Maul and Savage around. He laughs at his victims as he's essentially toying with them. It further proves that his battle was all too easy for Darth Sidious as he's very much in a higher weight class compared to Maul and his brother.
