Where was Darth Maul even cut? He should've been cut in half vertically by that blow that Obi-Wan gave him and wouldn't even have been able to speak because he would've died instantly.
@@danielblair4413 Yes, but then you get a PG-13 Clone Wars episode and it would have taken away from the emotion of the scene. I admit, they probably could have shown at least a little damage, but it is what it is.
You omitted a key component- Kenobi used three stances- his classic overhead, then a forward position, then followed by the side stance, which lured Maul in. Each stance had significance for Kenobi.
Mauls voicework is amazing, his cadence and mannerisms are pretty much exactly how he sounds in the show, and this was my favorite scene EVER in the show you guys nailed it!
Great costumes and lighting, the acting was nice as well! Perhaps Maul's finishing move could have been better, as it clearly had no chance of connecting.
@@EmaxFilms it was supposed to be the same as what he used on Qui-Gon, as Obi baited him with the same stance, but he countered the move as Maul was predictable.
Good work! You guys did great! This is one of those productions where I don't think it really matters you couldn't get a perfect costume for both characters. The effort shows. The dedication shows. The acting skill shows. These are way more important than some clothing and face masks. I am going to sub!
Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed comment, I really appreciate all of the kind words. I am totally in agreement with you, that was what we wanted to showcase and I'm glad it was able to shine through. Thanks a ton!
1:27 you missed a major part here, he’s supposed to go from his usual pointing stance to his ‘Ben kenobi’ stance, then finally to qui gons stance. This part really highlights that he’s a Jedi MASTER, not just some random Jedi
I do think it should've started with a night desert shot with the camera moving back before cutting to shots of Darth Maul and Obi Wan facing each other before the former speaks. But otherwise this was a great recreation. I love it.
I feel like you missed a lot of the point of the last blow. Maul was attempting the same headbutt that he did to Qui-Gon, but you made it look like he was trying to block a lightsaber blade with his hilt.
Wow, I never noticed that obiwan bests maul with 3 of the most basic shii-cho maneuvers. I wonder if that also means that he has been teaching training from the order to others behind the scenes leading up to this iconic scene. Well done!
Great costumes and lighting, great cinematography and great acting! That ending strike from Obi Wan was so intense! Loved it! This is an absolute gem. The only thing that pulled me away was that Maul looked a bit childish... I don't know why but I had the feeling that a teen was playing Maul. I'm not trying to mean but Maul looked way too young.
Props to the fan Maul for being such a brilliant actor This is Star level acting here despite it not being official (Also why he sound like Vergil from DMC)
This looks and sounds amazing guys, though I do have one little comment: In Maul's final strike he goes for the hilt bash as seen against Qui Gon in The Phantom Menace, whereas in your choreography it looks like he's just presenting the lightsabre hilt to be struck. He's much too far away to have been initiating an attack. This could be solved either with angle tricks or tighter spacing. Other than that I loved what you did with the scene, it's one of the deepest duels in Star Wars.
- "So you're saying that Darth Maul can build his criminal empire in the shadows and be a third party to a conflict in a civil war?" - "No, he would find Kenobi and die in his arms from three unsuccessful blows because he had been walking in the desert for a long time and was dead tired" - "Oh, wait, then what was the point of reviving him after his first death if he just died in the end without doing anything for the plot?"
This is really cool, and if they ever did a live action thing that went over this moment they should just ctrlC+ctrlV Also, how’d you get the lightsabers to look so good?
Thank you so much! I edited the lightsabers in After Effects, it took like 3 days of non stop work but I'm happy with the result. I will have a video later breaking down how I did this.
This was a powerful, emotional, scene in animation. Thank you for showing it to us in live action. Is it wrong, that I want Disney to film this, with Ewan McGregor, and Ray Park? Just get them together, set up the volume, and go. Don’t even tell us they’ve done it. Just film it, and then release it one day at D23, or ComiCon, etc. No sneak peeks, no preamble. Just drop it, as a wonderful surprise for the fans. Cheers,
Of course, it was our pleasure making this, glad you enjoyed. An official one with the original actors would be crazy! But it's Disney so I doubt it would ever happen...
All the budget went to Maul's head so Obi-Wan couldn't even had a beard.
There was no budget 😭
@@EmaxFilms Get some budget bro
@@Ovijit001 Lemme spawn some money real quick hold on
@@EmaxFilmshow’s it going? Did the dupe work?

“Hey, Maul. I like your new legs. They make you look taller.”

Mauls immediate reaction after being cut by kenobi was really well done
Thank you! Kevin did an amazing job!

Are you serious? This is the most unexpressive version of maul that I've seen?
@@danielblair4413
Obiwans blade slashed him across the chest
Old Ben's looking good for his age.
He definitely is
Although his eyes have gotten a little squinty from being out in that desert sun all day long.
You omitted a key component- Kenobi used three stances- his classic overhead, then a forward position, then followed by the side stance, which lured Maul in. Each stance had significance for Kenobi.
I noticed that. Still, well done considering…..
Mauls voicework is amazing, his cadence and mannerisms are pretty much exactly how he sounds in the show, and this was my favorite scene EVER in the show you guys nailed it!
Cheers! Kevin (Maul actor) absolutely killed it! I'm glad we were able to meet your expectations.
The Force is strong with this video. Well done.
May the force be with you! Thanks!
That was pretty good. I will admit not as emotional, but nevertheless, still good.
Thank you!
This looks amazing! You guys did a great job with this :D
Thank you so much! Very proud of it
Great costumes and lighting, the acting was nice as well!
Perhaps Maul's finishing move could have been better, as it clearly had no chance of connecting.
Thank you so much! To be fair... in the animation not sure what Maul was doing either haha
@@EmaxFilms it was supposed to be the same as what he used on Qui-Gon, as Obi baited him with the same stance, but he countered the move as Maul was predictable.

Standing Ovation that was Spectacular!
Thank you tons!
The visual effects, costumes and Maul’s makeup are fantastic! Great work!
Thank you! VFX took sooo long but it was worth the struggle lol. Alayna did great with the makeup 💯
1:27 you missed a major part here, he’s supposed to go from his usual pointing stance to his ‘Ben kenobi’ stance, then finally to qui gons stance. This part really highlights that he’s a Jedi MASTER, not just some random Jedi
Yep I am aware of that!
Yall did awesome. This better blow up!
Thank you! We shall see what UA-cam thinks!
Why is this so good!? Impressive, most impressive! Really spot on!
Thank you so much! Means a lot 💯
Very good, guys!
Thank you so much!

"Promise me you will train the boy"
"He is the chosen one"
🤣
This is insanely well made holy cow
Appreciate it! We are really happy with the result!
This looks great! Well done
Appreciate it!
theory needs to see this
FOR REAL! Would love for him to check it out
I love this so much and the music too! Will there be music reveal?
Thank you! Music was composed by Dennis specifically for this short. Perhaps we will get an upload of it up soon!
@@EmaxFilms U are welcome and glad to hear it!
You missed the stance change to older Obi wan before he goes to qui gon's stance. Still, well done!
Yes, I did indeed miss it - was a hectic day. But appreciate it!
This was excellently done! Props to all your hard work. Hoping y'all will go viral 🤘
Really appreciate it! The video has been picking up consistent views, hope more people get to see it!
Really nice work
Krotos Studio played a big role when I was sound designing. Thank you for a top tier plugin!
how do i make lightsaber vfx like these?
Lots of time 😭 But for real, I will make a breakdown video on this soon
Increase speed to 1.75 for faster realistic pace
I do think it should've started with a night desert shot with the camera moving back before cutting to shots of Darth Maul and Obi Wan facing each other before the former speaks. But otherwise this was a great recreation. I love it.
Valid! Appreciate the feedback
This is beautiful, can I buy the rights to this video for one R2 unit?
Thanks! *permission granted*
I noticed the missing stance like many, but the fact that you went to replicate this is ballsy and awesome. As a fan, I appreciate that.
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed!
Nice and quick recreation. Very nice.
Thank you very much!
@@EmaxFilms welcome!! It was nicely done.
Awesome! Great job guys!
Cheers! Appreciate it!
SO COOL!!!!!
Thank you! Absolutely worth making this!
That was fantastic 💖🔥
Appreciate you!
This is so damn good, you can feel the love for the franchise through their acting! Well done!
Thank you! I'm glad the passion was able to shine through!
I feel like you missed a lot of the point of the last blow. Maul was attempting the same headbutt that he did to Qui-Gon, but you made it look like he was trying to block a lightsaber blade with his hilt.
When the animation budget runs out so the duel gets cut.
😬😂
that is amazing, keep up the good work
Thank you so much! Will do
I HAD GOOSEBUMPS THE WHOLE TIME! Beautifully executed and an impeccably well made live-action recreation.
Thank you so much, means a lot! Glad you loved it!

One thing I love about starwars fan films is that they are done so well, and really done with passion
For real! The passion in the community rocks
Wow where did you buy your camera?
My friend owns the camera - its a Sony FX6
@@EmaxFilms thanks
This is amazing... very well done!!!
Disney should just hire you tbh
Heh thank you man! Highly doubt they ever would by I suppose never say never... I've still got a lot of work to do to be better
This was beautifully made and scored kudos 👍
Cheers! I particularly enjoyed the score as well 💯
Aside from the total lack of facial similarity between this Obi-Wan and every other one, this was perfect, down to the slightest move.
Thank you! The facial similarity wasn't something I was looking to replicate
Excellent work!
Thank you so much!
Props to the fan Maul for being such a brilliant actor
This is Star level acting here despite it not being official
(Also why he sound like Vergil from DMC)
He definitely killed it! I loved his performance!
So epic @emax is the real deal ! 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏
Filmed for EMAX
Great work. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Asian Star Wars looks clean

This is so awesome! The details were amazing
Thank you so much! I definitely did a lot of planning.
This was awesome. Thank you so much for doing this.
Thank you 💯 Glad you enjoyed!
This was fantastic. Awesome. The cross check was a bit low and MAKE ALL THE STAR WARS MOVIES FROM NOW ON DAMNIT
Thank you! Very high praises haha!
This is actually really good.
Thank you thank you! 🤍
Obi-Chang Kenobi?

Great work guys!
Appreciate you, glad you enjoyed!
''General Kenobi, you're younger than I expected!''

I love it when lightsabers aren't just cheap looking sticks of light
Thanks! It took a LONG time 😭
@@EmaxFilms you can definitely tell, well done indeed.

Its a different dimension 😅 Thanks!
This scene still makes me cry.
S tier scene
BRAVO!!! 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you !!!
This is much better than what Disney is doing
Hahah glad you liked it!
But it is Disney. Disney made Star Wars Rebels
This is really cool, and if they ever did a live action thing that went over this moment they should just ctrlC+ctrlV

He must have gotten cut with the same move as well
