The Phantom Menace- Final Lightsaber Duel- Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon vs Darth Maul

[adjhd1]

4.40 didnt really work for anakin though did it??

[TheYankees117]

@bloodboy235- it would not have made sense. If a full blown Jedi master couldn't defeat another full blown master, then what makes you think a child would do better. I know anikin grows up to become a great fighter, but he hasn't been trained yet.

[JOKER3852]

the phantom menace was good. it wasn't bad or great just good. like your baseball team getting a base hit.

Darth Maul : The BOSS

[tswood28]

Is it just me or does Qui-Gon just slap the sh*t out of Maul at 1:23? I mean just straight back hands him!

[bloodboy235]

who thinks that what should of happened is Maul should chase Anakin while Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan tried to stop Maul and Qui-Gon gets sealed in the final battle area with Anakin and Maul then Maul kills Qui-Gon while Obi-Wan watches from behind that forcefield Maul damages the controls sealing Obi-Wan off from Maul and Anakin. Anakin scared and angry from watching Qui-Gon die in front of him fights Maul and as they duel Anakin gets better and better Obi-Wan watches Amazed then Anakin kills Maul?

[mattwho81]

Darth Maul made the same mistake every Sith makes sooner or later: he thought he was too damned powerful to lose. He let his guard down for a second and Obi-wan used the force to beat him down for it.

[ernestoagosto1]

Darth maul is an exceptional light staff weilder as the original books portrayed him to be. But with just a saber in hand. You can see his talent fully erupt. That's a part that they did a good job on. Most of the rest? CRAP

[fatburner123]

Obi-Wan did a lot of hanging off edges

[Firelordofhyrule]

Even Obi-wan has had his share of the dark side

[durburgle]

Darth Maul was all like "I've had the old bull, but now I want the young calf."

[theDAMNEDproductions]

this is great thanks for cutting out the scenes in between

[Burnettski9292]

It's amazing that the fates of everyone, and the happenings of the rest of the movies all came to be when 1:17 happened.

[NickFamicomNerd]

I went to see the 3D version of the movie today.

[StarWarsGuy32]

@NickFamicomNerd I saw it yesterday. This scene looked pretty cool in 3d.

[NickFamicomNerd]

@StarWarsGuy32 Yeah I agree.

[bmario85]

solo 1 cosa: se il cattivone aveva come piede 1 spada laser i due jedi erano morti 3 volte!che calci!!

[lastorvalorian]

3.30 - 4.09 = beyond amazing

[TheAmericanEvita]

So why do we need to see this in 3D? What for when it's amazing in it's original 1999 theatrical release form? I will not see this in 3D

[jradical242]

But two things that confuse me about the fights.

1) Where are they in this fight? (What's with the red doors?)

2) Why do these fights always end up in the most ridiculous places?

Especially in episode 3..

[jradical242]

This battle is 1000x better in 3D.

I almost screamed out loud with excitement when the trumpets started.

XD

[lastorvalorian]

@jradical242 Good to know

[brunolopez90]

are those weird fade-ins and outs in the original cut? Took me right out of it...

[lastorvalorian]

@brunolopez90 No, that's to cut out all the Gungan/Space battle nonsense

[KingRamses1017]

My favorite scene along with the podrace!

[BareChestedBandit]

Worst Star Wars film. Best Lightsaber fight.

[zelkart]

John Williams said in an interview that the music and choreography of the fight was made to seem like a dance in some sort of quasi-religious ceremony, a dance where at least one participant would likely die. Qui-Gon and Maul both missed a beat which resulted in their deaths. Personally, I didn't have a problem with the prequels, the originals were better, but I still enjoyed them (but not Jar Jar Binks), but apparently Darth Maul's entrance was the one moment most people liked.

[xtrmsprts]

hell fuckin yeah.... darth maul for president

[showbizz10]

I just wish that Maul woulda used his Lightning in this fight... it woulda shown that he is even more badass than he seems

[TophBeiFong2]

@showbizz10 He doesn't have it. II and III were shit, and the fact that anyone other than Sidious used Lightning just diminishes them further. As it stands, however, you can tell throughout the fight that Maul is very inexperienced with the Force, which is why Obi wins in the end. It's apparent that he's better than Qui-Gonn and Obi with lightsabers, but he only won (against Qui-Gonn) because Qui-Gonn never had a chance to take a break and use the Force properly.

[McFenzel]

Darth Maul is the only lightsaber duelist (in the movies) i've seen who resorts to hand to hand combat durring a duel, and not out of despiration either, but rather out of sheer skill.

My hat off to my favorite sith

[maxvharper]

Hey, you guys keep it down, don't let SOPA hear.

[McFudge93]

Obi-Wan's Rage Mode... Engage

[boycrazygirl567]

My fave scene in the whole movie!!!!1

[z92887]

1:22 Qui Gon totally bitch slaps Darth Maul

[ocarinag33k]

is the pitch increased?

[StarWarsGuy32]

@ocarinag33k I did nothing to the video, and it seems fine to me, but something might have happened during the capture or the upload.

[thedevilscolt88]

no homo, but i fucking love ray park n for playing as darth maul. i actually dressed up as darth maul on halloween when i was like 11.

[DesX42S]

3:29 to 3:40 best part

[nprmadness]

you know this had to be where they got the THIS IS SPARTA endless hole idea from

[TaliesinKyte]

Heh. I love this fight, but I have to admit that Maul comes off looking a little derpy at the end there. He's supposed to be a highly trained, quasi-precognitive fighter with reflexes faster than a mortal man's, yet he just stands there for an entire two seconds as Obi Wan flips over his head, spins, lands, HAULS BACK, and chops him in half. I mean, I know...he was gloating, didn't think about the other saber. But still...did Obi Wan distract him with Force Constipation or something?

[spartan289]

@TaliesinKyte MY guess is that he was distracted because he was told Obi-wan was a Padawan, and he didn't expect a Padawan to be able to do something like that..

[TophBeiFong2]

@TaliesinKyte Maul is good with a lightsaber, but can't use the force for shit. Obiwan used that to his advantage.

[zelkart]

@TaliesinKyte Maybe he was just surprised. Quasi-precoginizance probably won't help against someone else who's quasi-precognizant.

[agurlwitaDream]

@TaliesinKyte He might have just been confused or amazed at what Obi Wan was doing at the end.

[TheSpongeruss1]

@TaliesinKyte or you know sense obi wan is a jedi he has jedi reflexes to dumbo

[7EliteCHEESE7]

I think how darth mual died was stupid 0:28 he takes on both of them and they are both in front and behind him and he still survives. Darth Mual could beat general greivous or Count Dooku or Assaj Ventress whenever he wants.

[Icaraene]

@7EliteCHEESE7 your wrong. The problem with a twinsaber is, that you can only fight with one blade. you only can use one to attack, because the other is in this moment on the other side of. Obi Wan and Qui Gon makes the mistake that they fight aganist both blades. when they fight only one they beat Maul easily.

[1shishin]

@Icaraene I can tell english isn't your first language so forgive me if i'm misunderstanding you. I think in this video, Darth Maul shows a great sense of awareness in fighting two opponents at once regardless of his weapon. To be honest with any fight it doesn't matter what weapon you use but your profeciency with said weapon.

[kwloy]

@1shishin Also another coment on Maul's knowlegded of the fight is that often he attempts to distract one of the Jedi while he concentrates on the other. Notice at the beginning of the fight how he keeps kicking, or knocking one of them back while he turns his attention to the other. This is further illustrated by the way he knocks Obi-wan off the ledge later in the fight, to concentrate on Qui-jon. Finally his use of the energy barriers at the end was briliant stategicy.

[Saimeren]

@kwloy Croud control (CC) is strong in Darth Maul.

[JCHIV1989]

My favorite dual of the entire prequal trilogy! The BEST of the whole saga!

[TheGuyThatsAwesome]

Intense.

[Zepp900]

One of my favourite duels in the series. The first time I watched TPM back in 99, I thought Maul was gonna use Obi-Wan's fallen Lightsabre rather than just kick it down the shaft.

[StarWarsGuy32]

@MrJohnHuntly It's a good one. My favorite part is when Obi-Wan goes one on one with Maul.

[MrJohnHuntly]

@StarWarsGuy32 Oh yeah, I love that part of the battle more, probably cause Obi-Wan and Maul are the younger more flexible fighters here.
