The Evolution of Obi Wan Kenobi VS Maul Lightsaber Duels 

Its tragic his final moments were on revenge but heart warming he almost seemed to be glad his miserable life was over and that at least kenobi reassured him the Sith would pay for this

This is one of my favorite maul quotes because I think what he means when he says he will avenge us is he’s talking about all the people that were lost like the clones, Padme, and even count Dooku due to The emperor’s plan

BOsscake 101 exactly this. He hates Obi-Wan because of their fight on Naboo but really he sees him as an equal, another person in palpatine’s game

Well, technically Vader did avenge Maul and Maul's legs when he killed Obi-Wan

That duel is probably the best in star wars, obviously thats just my opinion I think it is simplistic poetic beauty literally only 4 strikes and it's over

"I AM the high ground...AAAAAUUUUGGGHH"

I have been the only one to master the high ground, that’s why I won

@@obijuanquenobi1911 you were 25 and still a padawan so i say you had some time to yourself then.

Wesley Price Qui Gon Gin may have been the first to become one with the force and become a force ghost but i am the first and only wan to unlocked the true power of the high ground

@@obijuanquenobi1911 lol.

he should have aimed for the head.

@James Inbanez is that an Avengers reference?

@@richardstraus4493 yea, I was surprised they did not make the reference, with both of them being Disney.

James Ibanez true

@@jamesibanez7956 Because maul gave up when he sensed ''the chosen one'' who could kill sidious for them, and he could avenge them. You can see from maul's face when kenobi strikes him, it looks like maul can still continue but he realizes something and he gives up

He’s only half the sith he used to be

@@obijuanquenobi1911 it's funny because Anakin supposedly lost some force power when he got his hand cut off by the count yet maul seems to be even stronger after night mother fixes him. Maybe the dark side? Or maybe a plot hole.

@@refugeehugsforfree4151 I assume she imbued him with some force power green witch dathomer stuff

@@hassansharif513 would make sense seeing how we know almost nothing about Magick in the star wars Canon.

Refugee Hugs For Free Anakin is 1/4 the sith he used to be

Red Shirts unfortunately

Basically any Jedi that didn’t show up in Revenge of the Sith was expendable

@@WideMouth that's actually super true. There's like 6 Jedi that appear in AOTC that aren't in ROTS and TCW gave them all good deaths. Filoni watched the films and realized there's no canon ending for all the ones that disappeared, so he killed them in TCW. Super cool.

Well not always. Koth and Vos survived. Gallia also survived her first appearance at the same time as Koth

It also shows some incredibly good writing from the guys that made the show.

LAIR!!!

What other lies have the Jedi told

You can't even save a single person; Qui-Gon, Adi Gallia, Satine.

tevfik enis DAAAAMMMMMMM BOI

ROASTED

He lost to Grievous a few times

Vs Vader?

From a certain point of view.

@@popsjr Surviving against grievous is nothing else but a win, most people can’t just fight grievous a couple of times; usually just once.

@@mumphry Canon grievous isn't that dangerous as a combatant at least not enough so to beat any Jedi master by himself

*Chokes on salty-@ss tears*

@@leifkhas7425 I'm pretty sure the "he" maul is referring to is the one Kenobi is protecting aka Luke

That final moment is so good. These two have been at odds with one another for decades because they were both used like pieces on a chess board. Even though they both understand that fact they can't overcome the hatred they have for one another. That is until the final strike is made and the decades long rivalry is over. Once it ends they simply embrace as two battered and tired old men, one dying, the other an exile, both understanding that their time is over

@@OneTrueWindfall beautiful said my friend

Leif Khas no it was Anakin Skywalker returning to the lightside

You didn't

@@b1lly137 he did

Does that mean Oppress was master level or Adi was Knight level

@@KumaoftheForest she was a master but most likely the level of a knight because of the fact lightsaber to lightsaber was very rare

Considering Adi Gallia got her own video game in the old canon, I'm surprised they took her out like that

THIS!

I second this notion

Agreed.

The way they did the motions for her duel versus Maul was the best I think Ahsoka's fighting has ever looked.

Yup!

Reprise

Yes yes yes

Weren’t there like several dozen?

Trevor Francis yes

Yes that would be nice

Hardly what I’d call a duel

@@aramis9331 a quick one sure but it was still a duel

The phantom menace was Sidious, not Maul

Timothy Papenfuss that wasn’t even brought up

Maul is clearly more powerful but ok

@@donniethedinosaur9921 If the other guy can wield what power he has better than you, or negate your power advantage, then he's going most likely win the day. I'm reminded of Braddock's ambush during the Seven Years War. The French used what they had more efficiently and effectively to defeat a more powerful force. Take Tyson who fought mostly larger opponents. He used the D'amato method to guard up and get in close. Obi Wan was like that. His form 3 allowed him to shield up, wait for Maul to get stupid, and crush him.

I agree obi wan wins because of mauls arrogance’s but u make it seem like maul is less powerful than obi wan

@@donniethedinosaur9921 I've never implied that...save for towards the end of their careers. Maul has been doping up so much dark side energy, that he has the side effects of the "juicing". Meanwhile Obi-Wan's light side natural gains have set in, thus eventually making him the stronger. Maul started off more powerful than Obi-Wan and more experienced in killing. So it was a huge blow to his ego, getting beat by someone who was weaker. Then getting his tail kicked again by the same Jedi whom Maul was more powerful than. Then getting his brother killed by that Jedi. Then finally having his long time opponent Obi Wan end up more stronger than him and the one to kill him once and for all. In a way, Maul is the equivalent of Pharaoh from Moses' story in the Bible; a super powerful villain who ends up the punching bag of the good guy.

First of all Sidious killed savage. Second in the clone wars maul beats obi wan who has to run away. And 3rd maul looses to obi wan because he is arrogant and tries to kill him the same way he killed qui gon

I think Maul's last showing should have better screen time. Maul is more than half insane, suffering from heat stroke, and having " visions " ( fake outs ) winning and losing to Kenobi. Three wins and three loses and the seventh choice, making peace with Kenobi and walking away. Then when Maul is defeated by Kenobi, he realizes one of his death visions came true. All in all Maul was/ is the ultimate survivor, I vote Maul stands up after the fight like KOTOR II Darth Sion saying that he now truly is starting to understand the wonders of the Force and walks off into the desert night. With many years late meets up with Luke just before RotJ as a Force Wight giving Luke useful advice and wanders off again.

@@krispalermo8133 And tbf to Maul, he only ever lost one actual sabre-to-sabre fight in his life, that last one. He was a hell of a duellist, but so was Kenobi.

@@shugaroony he was absolutely demolished by Sidious lol. Palpatine left Maul literally on the ground crying and begging for mercy. Maul was good, but he was no master

@@NikukaiFightOn I said sabre-to-sabre. He held his own against Sidious until the latter started using powers on him. Maul was a fine duellist and would have destroyed Anakin had they met on Mandalore for example.

@@shugaroony you and i must have watched a different fight then. Because the one I saw, sidious was fighting 2v1 and giggling the entire fight. He killed Opress, disarmed maul, and then started using the froce to beat him up. But hey maybe there's another fight between the 2 I haven't seen.

Start with "hello there"

Bruh so you’re just gonna ignore the bit of lore he’s passing onto you?

Thats so cool!!!

He fought dirty and I wasn’t prepared for that

@@theo55645 I liked the comment.

Attacking your opponent's legs is completely fair and not at all a "below the belt" hit, except in the most literal sense

Good, twice the pride, double the fall

I told you everything you needed to know all those years ago on Geonosis.

Powerful you have become RJ the dark side I sense in you

R J I’ve been looking forward t- *instantly gets hands chopped off*

Blizzard Gaming I sense great fear in you young Blizzard. You have hate, you have anger, but you don’t use them....

Same. There was more than enough room for the sequel trilogy duels to be a loooot better. I think TFA's saber duel between Finn&Rey versus Kylo was pretty good though. Could have been better, but, good.

Hawkeye83627 they have characters do insane force feats but they swing their sabers like baseball bats

@@gibio396 you have a point

They aren’t overly choreographed 💀💀💀

@Lil Milkdud Oops, my bad!

For reals tho...

I would argue it was killing Qui Gon. That was the first domino in Anakin's fall to the darkside.

@@EX7Sonic Nah, that helped The Emperor, Maul lost with that one. It also left to him being cut in half.

Huh that actually works really well for this

Are you merging Monty Python with Star Wars? LMAO😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

Mau: Ive had worse. Obi-Wan: Yes, I helped you loose a lot of weight didnt I.

Ah I see you are a cultured person.

no. XD

Ik bro...feel that for sure lol

As soon as Ben entered Form IV, Maul became convinced he could end the fight just as quickly as he did with Qui-Gon. Unfortunately, this appears to be something Ben has never forgotten and was very prepared for it.

I never forget. I just remember harder whenever I see it. 😂

the dark side

Hate. Hate and drugs.

It follows Leonean school of Cinematic Final Fights: build lots of tension and solve action quickly and thoroughly.

Simplistic and quick yet spoke volumes

Vader from Rogue One wants to know your location

I'm on Tatooine hell never go there plus I get to visit mauls grave its a win win

On one the few times Rebels actually managed to transcend the sloppy kiddy shit and have some real consequences. They fucked up Thrawn but did manage to give Maul and Kenobi the final farewell they needed. Sam Witwer (Voice of Maul) explained every step of the fight in great detail. The man knows his lore and script.

the only stuff i actually liked in rebels was myself vs darth maul and ahsoka vs darth vader

maul is master of niman, and obi-wan is master of ataru as well

tevfik enis true, but Soresu and Juyo were their main styles, or at least the styles they’re most proficient with

oh no (gets PTSD flashbacks to the clown wars)

Begun the clown wars have

Crimson Dawn is a collective not a faction...

Ok there mr grammar police the crimson dawn was a faction because it had its own personsl ,leader and resources it sounds like a faction to me and not a collective of a bunch of smaller group ,plus there are not very many collectives in the Star Wars underworld as a whole the only one potentially being the bounty hunters guild

@@johnwayne6647 yeah, it's not like the group maul lead before was called the Shadow COLLECTIVE or anything........... I wasn't Pointing out your grammar, I was pointing out that you were wrong. I don't think you know what faction means.....
