Maul lost/died because he never changed, never grew, never adapted...he was an incomplete person dragging himself along in the same rut of Master/Dominant vs Apprentice/Subservient because he knew nothing else...
@@tonystank3091 They don't hate Star Wars, Alec thought it was weird, Harrison is putting a price on himself, he just pretends to hate the franchise, Natalie just treated the prequels as a job that would give her a boost in her career, but no more. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that they played their roles well (except for Natalie, although I can only blame her for the Phantom menace), without huge involvement like Hayden Christensen, Liam Neeson or Samuel Jackson.
@@denchik5798 So it's not that they *hated* it, it's that they didn't really *care* about it. Meanwhile, there's Sam Witwer here who's something of a hardcore fan himself.
Thank you for sharing this! I know it was years ago, but I just found this video and enjoyed it very much! Sam is such a great Star Wars fan, and did a terrific job acting Darth Maul!
Glad to hear that! I actually ran into him at the Chicago Celebration, while it was closing.. Got a couple good pictures with him. Been a fan from Starkiller, Aiden, Maul, Deacon, etc etc etc Cool dude, and interesting career choices. I’m very proud of how many people I could share this with. The way he described that arc, was just beautiful and it really resonated with me at the time. Pretty epic
Holy crap…Sam knows every last possible nuance of his Twin Suns scene backwards and forwards and from all possible perspectives. Makes me think his t-shirt should read “All This And Brains Too”
Sam is one of those people like Filoni and Favreau who I feel has this deep understanding of Star Wars that's vital to the future of the franchise. Even though Maul's story has come to an end I hope there are still ways for Sam to continue being a part of the universe.
Sam Witwer really is the ultimate Star Wars fan and he's living the dream of being mentored by Dave Filoni and starring in Star Wars shows and games. I could listen to this guy geek out for hours. He's also into DC and (I think) Marvel, so that's a bonus.
Really cool explanation. I always thought Maul kind of wanted to die at that moment because his life was pretty miserable. Maybe subconsciously he did which is why he messed up and did the same move?
Maul is most likely depressed (let's face it, who wouldn't be), but he came here trying to end a feud and kill his nemesis, not to get himself killed even though that would ultimately be what happened.
@@charles-olivierdenis6633 He came to kill Obi wan, but I am not sure he really expected to survive. I highly doubt he put any thought into his plans afterwards.
@@matthewc3135 Exactly what I was thinking! I mean killng Obi Wan is the only thing he has left, but I think he knows it won't leave him satisfied. He just wants to die.
As an added bonus that fight should also be compared to this from 7 Samurai. Same idea, assess yourself and your opponent, change your initial stance and make the right decision. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GF5U83UIX1o.html With some differences, the Darth Maul and Obi duel was great to be heard from Sam and his feelings on it.
Parallelism. Obi-Wan meeting Ezra in the desert fighting an old foe Maul, a precursor to Luke and Darth Vader. All the more we should push for Obi-Wan spinoff ! Obi wan played by Ewan McGregor but voice dubbed by Stephen Stanton. 🙌
Its great when you realize all the philosophical connections in star wars and the reasoning behind them. It makes things so much better and elevates the show for me
Charlie Hopkins No problem man, one of my favorite moments from Celebration. Lot more people have been watching this after Solo 🤔😏 I got tickets to next years Celebration, I hope I can meet this awesome dude again.
That's SO cool! This proves that Rebels even though is softer and more child friendly than Clone Wars it still hasn't lost it's passion for Star Wars and the writing is a solid as ever..
So many things he explained that I never picked up on. The Ben stance between young obi and qui gon, the cradling of Maul, the explaination of the mindset of the two of them (telling the story the two were telling in the stare down). Makes me love this moment even more.
I never noticed Obi Wan’s transition from Obi Wan to Ben in that scene, from his more aggressive stance to his more defensive one, showing that he almost instinctively got ready for this big showdown and realized that’s not how it should be. That’s fucking dope
@@seanmansfield4853 You'd be surprised how many blockbusters were produced by her, she knows the business and that's a fact regardless of personal bias
