Why Darth Maul was Deeply Ashamed of the Way Qui-Gon Died - IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS 

Yeah seriously. One of my favorite vids in a while.

And that came from a book directed at young kids too.

❤ me too man me too

Honestly Maul should've been kept alive throughout the majority of the Prequel trilogy just to have an overarching antagonist that's not Palpatine cause what we got we already knew Palpatine was Sidious They should've kept that reveal until midway through Episode 3 after what Anakin did something in front of Palpatine

And they threw those in trash

That's like a million times better ...screw the mouse!!!!

@gustavedelior3683 Technically mine is miles better

"I am your enemy, the first one you've ever had who was smarter than you. There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on I am your teacher.” --Mazer Rackham. Because such enemies, if you are unfortunate enough to acquire such, and cannot find peace with honor, are implacable. Best to find common ground and stand down. To do this, one must let go of emotion.

Some enemies certainly don't deserve respect. The SS deserved nothing even close to respect.

Exactly. The exact opposite of how he thought of/ treat Obi Wan and look how that went 😂

@@clovisursa497 You can hate everything they believe in (as everyone should), but not having respect for their tactical abilities, equipment, and training would be foolish. This is something most Disney Star Wars fails to grasp. Actual Nazis were terrifying because they combined an evil ideology with terrifying competence. Filoni and co. seem to think that most bad characters also have to be laughably incompetent, draining all tension from almost every Disney Wars story.

He kinda succeeded in proving that point without the arrogance, Qui-gon did prove himself to be a better jedi because he rejected the politics' influence on the jedi order, even when it meant going against the jedi code itself. He believed that being a better jedi meant following the will of the force above all else. As a result, he was the first of only three jedi in that entire jedi order to be trained to manifest consciousness after death. He was even the one to train Yoda and later Obi-wan. He did prove himself to be the best jedi's jedi, not to prove a point, but to simply be who, what, and where the force needed him to be to ensure the galaxy is better for it. None in the jedi order lived up to that, instead they died stuck in the past, in stagnation, and in dogmatic tradition, which included being in bed with all things Republic politics.

U heard it too… 😂

My guess would be that he felt Kenobi's fear as well and was attempting to protect him. He was obviously aware that Maul outclassed his padawan.

Man had a job to do. Like Gurney Hallack of Dune said: “What has mood to do with it? You fight when the necessity arises-no matter the mood! Mood's a thing for cattle or making love or playing the baliset. It's not for fighting.” The Sith will easily cloud the minds of non adepts. Coercion, a great evil. Consider Padme, as an example. Should he leave Maul to his own devices? Such a skilled combatant?, With such strength? No way.

There's three mistakes Kenobi makes earlier in the duel that would have killed him, and Qui gon has to cover for him. So I think he thought he could fight fully if he was separated from Kenobi, along with feeling his fear and wanting to protect him.

Bc Liam Neeson would only do one movie

Because for plot reasons. Thats the point of "Duel of the Fates". If Qui Gon didn't die then Anakin would not have fallen. When you start a series like Star Wars in the middle like Lucas did with New Hope, it meant that everything that happened before was set in stone. You cannot have the events of the OG movies without Obi Wan being Anakin's mentor. Obi Wan even says that the circumstances of Anakin coming to him were complicated in Episode 6 iirc (when Luke went back to Yoda and questioned him and Ben about Anakin).

Disagree, this duel shows that discipline and determination to protect others is a power that hatred and anger fear.

There's some something somewhere when talking about the whims (when he was learning to become a force ghost), pretty sure he knew he would die if he went to naboo, and had to go anyway

@@PJOZeus Whims?? Do you mean the Whills?

Exactly!!

Dont worry, he had a long career with the cia afterwards.

Darth Mual is the only or one of a few to beat Liam Neeson

I was just thinking this on a rewatch this week 👍

That was the point. A Qui-Gon who gets to train Anakin completely changes the timeline. Hence "Duel of the Fates" I say all this w QGJ as my favorite Star Wars character 😂

And for a minute he truly thought it was his greatest victory but like you said, it's truly the beginning of his hard downfall

He should have stayed dead

The novels depict a Maul way more complex than I thought

Half... he lost half of everything...

I’d say he lost everything I saw palpatine killed his mom and brother

I feel like every dark force user has some sort of antithesis that, from time to time, prevents them from connecting completely with the dark side.

Desperately

5000⁰ isn't THAT hot. It would sear any wound to prevent bleeding. BLEEDING is what stops your organs and kills you. No blood means no Oxygen.. No Oxygen means your cells and organs die

Well Obi-Wan did give into the Dark Side albeit briefly in his "killing" of Darth Maul.

A stab leaves you open for counterattacks, people don't just instadie after a lethal blow.

Random thought, I always wondered why after that moment he didn't reunite with Obi-Wan. He could've either stayed put or moved backwards rather than move forward and remain separated.

Which might have caused an explosion that severely injured whoever did that due to proximity

Google "Chesterson's Fence"

Legends is irrelevant. A teenage Ahsoka beat Maul ffs.

@matthemann8969 It's going to be very difficult for anyone to take your arguments, here or elsewhere, seriously when you cannot communicate effectively or remain consistent. "In Legends, in terms of weapon mastery, Maul was a low eighth level duelist..." (punctuation, spelling). "Could have" not "Could of" (could of sounds like could've, the contraction of could have, but doesn't actually mean anything). Would have, not would of. Is the higher level of skill *eighth* or *seventh*? What is the difference between high eighth, mid eighth, low eighth, and high seventh levels of skill? As for your source, legends isn't canon, but can occasionally be useful for context and scaling- however, stats does not equal good writing and Star Wars is like poetry- it rhymes. Qui Gon was going to be slain by a Sith in service of the hero's journey just as Obi-Wan one day would. Don't take my criticism as a personal attack or needless grammar nazism- I simply pity someone that cannot write. Communication is an incredibly important skill, just as much in our modern age of exploitation as it was twenty thousand years ago when your ancestors were killing wild beasts with rocks so that they could eat that week. Half of your paragraph is meaningless due to lack of context, and I haven't even mentioned how factually incorrect your conclusion is- and that part relies on the half that is inconsistent with no context! I don't want to assume you're a sixth grader that doesn't pay attention in English, but you write like a sixth grader that doesn't pay attention in English. If you are simply underpriviledged or English is your second+ language, then as someone who only starves sometimes and lives in the richest country on earth- my bad. Otherwise I highly recommend some tutoring and educating yourself on what a relevant source is.

@@lordbalthosadinferni4384 Dudeeee. Saying you are not performing needles grammar nazism when you just threw the biggest and the most smug grammar nazi rant I have ever seen...

@@tnnetnattninuttn4627 Rereading my comment, yeah I can see how I'd come off that way. Do you have any recommendations on how I could've cut this down and still made the point that OP's comment is an indecipherable mess, while providing pointers, without sounding like such a snob? I didn't intend to sound smug- I was and am *very* confused as to what anything OP said is supposed to mean, and would genuinely like to help. Your comment isn't grammatically perfect but it *is* entirely understandable. Everyone should be given the tools to express themselves in a way that is, at bare minimum, understandable- and that's all I really meant to do.

@@lordbalthosadinferni4384I read it fine, maybe your comprehension skills are lacking?

Im asking the same thing

Sand in his eye.😂

I would say either a previous fight w a jedi or seidious hurt him during training

Both survived really qui gin through the force maul through hate

He's not a Grey Jedi. Qui Gonn was fully in tuned with the Light. Just like Ahsoka currently, full Light Side adherents, who were fully aware of the fact the Jedi were corrupted by stagnation.

@@YoungHarlem110352 I agree to disagree here. As although they are certainly very in tune and in touch with the living force and light as a whole They do what they think is right and not following the commands of the council, which was being wise in face of the order's stagnation, still makes them rogue and operating beyond the orders constraints and support. Making them grey jedi.

@@wedgeantillies66 ahhh, the Legends version of Grey Jedi. The slur version of the word. I agree with you there.

@@YoungHarlem110352 Thanks as I grew up with legends verse. Was going for that as a definition of the term, rather than what the new disney cannon has it down as being..

What about Mace Windu.

Me x

Literally killed 3 members before he got to Windu in the same fight lol. But otherwise no, I don’t believe so. His whole Alt was to be the chancellor.
