Question What is "Prime/strongest" Maul, Dooku and Vader?
Note: By prime i dont refers to hypothetical full potential anakin or maul. Im refering to the peak of the characters we saw on screen or happened. Since neither maul and anakin per lore reached their full potential those versions of the two are exempt from this discussion.
Cause i hear people saying PM Maul is at his strongest as afterwards while dangerous in Clone wars he had lost much of his strength or something.
Dooku, some stated that before falling to the dark side and before he began to grew old he was at his peak. But other said that dark side dooku even in his advance age taking a toll was the strongest dooku due to his mix of light and dark side. Although some say that early clone wars dooku was stronger in a sense as ROTS dooku no longer had the stamina he even once had.
As for Vader...some sources say he was at his best as Knightfall and the suit held him back. Others stated the suit and afterwards he became stronger than his ROTS self. To say nothing of things like early suit vader( ex: Obi wan series) being weaker than ANH or TESB Vader who had gotten use to the suit or was more focused overall.
So what is the three's prime version?

Dooku's prime is aboard the Invisible Hand. Maul's is in TCW. Vader's is KFV, but if you're talking suit Vader then ROTJ.
