  • This video is Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul's fight from Star Wars Rebels, but their lightsabers are thicker so they look like the lightsabers from the main movies/Clone Wars.
    This took me a while to make, so I hope you enjoy it :)
    Also, all the ad money will be going to Lucasfilm because they have the rights to the scene.

    Maul's face when Obi-Wan switches his stance to Qui-Qon's is incredible.

    • @XanderVJ
      @XanderVJ 3 роки тому +205

      It's amazing how much they conveyed with that simple stance change. Maul thought Obi-Wan was being driven by revenge in that form change. You know, that Obi-Wan wanted to take full revenge by defeating Maul using his master's form. But it was a trap. That line of thought was EXACTLY what Obi-Wan was counting on, and Maul took the bait, line and sinker. The fight was over before it even began.

      Obi-Wan proved he was the better duelist with that form change.
      Qui-Gon used Ataru on Naboo and was beaten by Maul.
      Obi-wan beat Maul with Soresu, and a bit of revenge anger.
      Maul rematches Obi-Wan.
      Obi-Wan starts with Soresu and then switches to Ataru.
      Obi-Wan beats Maul _again_ showing that it doesn’t matter which form he uses, he is the superior duelist.

      @PhilSrobeighn 4 роки тому +366

      @ShadowSamuel, Obi-Wan at this point has spent decades perfecting the style of lightsaber fighting that could best defeat Maul in Episode I, out of his grief for the loss of Qui-Gon. Maul, a Sith Lord and masterful at manipulating emotion, decides to open with the combo that killed Qui-Gon, most likely to throw Obi-Wan off balance emotionally. Obi-Wan has spent a lifetime studying for a test with one obvious question. This isn't a short fight. This is the climax of a thirty-year emotional war.

      I honestly don’t mind that this show is with different characters. This series focuses on how the Rebel Alliance was created, so it makes sense that the original trilogy characters only appear in some episodes and less lightsaber fights. Star Wars is not only about
      lightsabers fights, you know, some people are forgetting that this is the era where the Original Trilogy happens and all the Jedi and the order were all extinct.

    I have a *TON* of questions when it comes to rebels animation. Lightsabers obviously but also, why in the world did anakin and yoda look so much different? With Ahsoka, at least her looking different was because she got older (I think they should’ve tried to base it off of the clone wars animation from when she saw her future self though) but why did anakin look nothing like anakin and yoda like he was on some drugs? Sorry it just bothers me and this felt like a good time to bring it up lol.

    • @xxSennaxx
      @xxSennaxx 4 роки тому +345

      Yoda I feel they wanted to give him the whimsical gremlin look of the OT. As for Anakin, I think they just goofed and his design didn't translate as well as other characters to the Rebels art style. Imo the main issue is with the eyes/browline of the model - Hayden has a pretty angled browline close above his eyes which give him a more intense look, and Rebels Anakin's face just looks too light/blandly happy to be Hayden's. I wonder if the cracked Vader mask Anakin was a completely different model bc I felt that looked much better, even though we only saw part of the face.

And also, that in the end..Kenobi still gave comfort to someone whom was a mortal enemy. And I also love Maul’s character arc. Through his entire life all he knew was torture, and hatred. That’s all he had left. But he still had hope, that he would be avenged in the end.

    A perfect final touch to an already perfect scene. I love how Obi Wan showed respect and felt sympathy towards Maul despite the fact Maul had taken so much from him, and knew that despite how different they were, he could’ve never related to anyone more strongly. Even though Maul killed his master and his love, Obi Wan knew Sidious was behind all the pain and loss he had gone through, and knew that Sidious ruined Maul’s life too by brutally forming him essentially into a bloodthirsty sith monster to do his bidding. It was a beautiful way to end Maul’s story and the fact the lightsaber’s don’t look paper thin anymore is a bonus.

    There is so much that goes into this duel for how amazing yet short it is.
    Obi-Wan knows Maul very well. He knows how to play on his arrogance. Not only that, but he also never forgot how Master Qui-Gon fell.
    It all shows when Obi-Wan shifts out of his revenge of the sith opening Soresu stance. This was likely his more comfortable opening stance (yes I know we dont see it in ANH). However, he settles on an Ataru stance, a form he has not practiced since Phantom Menace. However, more specifically, he adapts Qui-Gon Jinn's opening stance. Even though this is not his style of Saber combat, Maul has no way of really knowing that. Yes, they fought in the Clone Wars, but they haven't been together much and it has been years. It is reasonable to assume that Kenobi may have adopted the form of his fallen master. Maul even shifts his feet to adjust his attack when he sees Obi-Wan strike this all-too-familiar opening stance. Obi-Wan Kenobi set Maul up, knowing he would go for the same move he used against Qui-Gon. In other words, Obi-Wan had won before their blades even clashed.

    This is one of my favorite animated Star Wars battles not just because it’s a battle between Obi wan and maul, an rivalry that’s has lasted for years, but because of the small details of the battle. You can see that once Ben Kenobi ignites his lightsaber he goes to his usual fighting stance or form 3 but then switches to form 4 which was Qui Gon’s lightsaber form and was the form he used against Maul. You can see that Maul notices the change in Kenobi’s form and changes his attack style to the one he used against Qui Gon. The reason Qui Gon had failed was because he had gone to block for mauls left blade was hit in the face by Mauls hilt stunning him and inevitably leading to his downfall but Obi wan having learned from his masters mistake knew to slice through the hilt instead of blocking Mauls blade.
    The music as well has a great effect to this battle. It starts out dramatically and finishes with a sadder and calmer tone as soon as maul slice through the blade. The Dark side and maul had taken everything from kenobi. They had taken his master, his love, and Anakin who he saw as his brother but in the end he held a dying Maul in his arms. Maul in his final breaths says “Is he the chosen one?” (Referring to Luke) with Obi wan replying with yes. Mauls final words were “He will avenge us”. That one line refers to Luke avenging both of them by finally defeating Palpatine who had taken Savage from Maul and Anakin from Obi wan.
    Obi wan does one last good thing to his old enemy by closing his eyes and finally letting his tormented rival rest.

Then he calm down and switch to his old Kenobi stance. Then he try to trick Maul off by adopting QuiGon's stance. Maul falls right for it and tries the same move he used to kill QuiGon by hitting him in the face before stabbing. Obiwan saw it coming and goes right through the hilt. People who made this scene knew Star Wars unlike the crap we see in The Last Jedi.

So it makes sense why Kenobi was able to end the fight quickly.

    For all the "flaws" rebels had, looking back on it after watching the Clone Wars Final season, it wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. The first season is a bit slow, but having the Inqusitors show up, having Agent Kalus change in a positive way, and showing the growth of the rebellion were are interesting things. It doesn't compare to Clone Wars, but for what it was, it wasn't that bad of a show.
    And come on...this fight scene itself is amazing. Everything with Ashoka, with Maul, with Vader, with the Inquisitors, with the temple, that was all pretty good! The final season, with more of a focus on the force, Lothal, and the force nexus (I think thats what it was called). That was solid stuff.
    But none of it can beat the best character in the show
    THRAWN.
    Although not as amazing as the books, this Thrawn had a great voice actor, outsmarted the rebels, and was only beaten when the force itself, through Ezra, took action. Seeing him pull a victory even when the rebellion thought they had won was impressive. Thrawn's voice, his mannerisms, and just the way he was in the show as great! And it brought him back, and despite the ending, is actually confirmed to still be alive!

    I mean. It does just straight up look better like this right? I'm confused as to who thought the thin lightsabers were needed.

      It was all to pay homage to the original artwork for Star Wars. I don't think it was needed.

      I like thinner lightsabers, looks way more elegant, like, made for precise attacks instead of blunt attacks.

      @@chamoo232 _Duh._ I'm such a dope. I have been asking myself the very same question *Ecthelon* asked for years. With all of the other wonderful design elements they pulled from *Ralph McQuarrie's* work, I can't believe this didn't cross my mind until you pointed it out.🤦🏼‍♂️

    It’s ironic that the loss of your greatest enemy can make you feel so sad
