    To quote Yoda, "Perhaps Qui Gon would be here still, if not so fast he had ran". Maul quickly realized from just the scuffle on Tatooine Qui Gon would win at the start of a battle, so he used his own youthfulness as a strength, and played into Qui Gons aggressive style

  • @user-ff8rs7gk6r

    The part that doesn't get enough play in Phantom Menace is Qui Gonns reaction to being told he cannot take Anikin as his apprentice. His face shows he's disappointed in the councils decision, but there's more to it. I think that he was so connected to the force, that he knew that one decision would lead to his death. But he was simultaneously so committed to the force's will, that he went along with it, thinking that the force knew something he didn't (it did. It knew about Luke).

    After all these years, this is the first time I heard that Maul planned to draw them into that chamber. In the movie he looked surprised when the shields activated and separated him from QGJ, allowing the latter a moment to meditate.
    On the other hand, from the first time I watched the movie, before I knew the ending, I thought QGJ was pushing too hard and fast. I am close in age to Liam Neeson. Even a younger man would tire at the pace and power QGJ was slamming those saber strikes and chasing Maul all over the Naboo complex.
    I would have preferred damage to the building during the larger battle separate the three of them, so it could continue in the future movies. But, I know QGJ had to go for plot reasons, as it was already established that OWK trained Anakin.
    Anyway, great video as always. Thank you.

    Cos Liam Neeson was older, much less acrobatic than Ray Park was! 😅
    Joking aside, I think 1 reason is : Because as the battle wore on, Maul only grew stronger with the dark side, which enhanced his strength and speed yet further.

    Maul in EU and Books were great. Him KNOWING he was a tool for his master with no intention of overthrowing Sidious, to me, is what made him the most dangerous. No ambition, but seeking praise, makes for a VERY dangerous prospect. It means that Darth Maul unleashed is going to be something too fierce for most Jedi.
    As for the Lightsaber Battle, it is my third favorite. First being Battle of the Heroes, second being Empire Strikes Back, third being Duel of the Fates.

    Maul used his experience and knowledge of Jinn's fighting style from their duel on Tatooine to craft the perfect battle strategy and trap to kill off whom he saw as his most dangerous opponent. However after killing jinn, he underestimated Kenobi and his hubris and arrogance over gloating over what he trhough was a defeated enemy, got himself killed.

    I never quite understood Maul's desire to avenge the Sith's against the Jedi. Either he knows the truth, that it was Darth Bain that ended the Sith or not. If he did, then it was the treacherous act of one of his own. If not, then the Jedi destroyed them because the Sith were too weak to stop them. In which case, aren't the Sith supposed to detest weakness?
    I'm not saying it's inexplicable, I just never quite got it.
