  • 6:06 when the make up artist hurt him i thought Maul would instantly kill him.

  • Why isn't this on the Bluray Ffs??

  • so wait...what are the sword martial arts? i heard kendo but i think i heard another one but didnt quite catch it...can someone tell me it (or all of them) if there even is any other ones?

  • Hold 2 for endless LOLs

  • Likely 2 reasons spring to mind;

    a) the dates are approximate

    b) 20 years in the Tatooine desert is not exactly a health spa

  • wait if episode 1 is 30 years before episode 4, then why does Obi-Wan look so much older? In episode 4 he must be about 60ish, in episode 1 he should be about 20? I don't think a 50 year old would look that old.

  • lookin at this 20 years from now, we gonna wonder why they arent 3d

  • love that part where theyre doing Darth Maul's make-up XD... i was almost like: "God Maul is such a priss... he seemed so badass during the movie.", coulda sworn he wasreal XD

  • bello

    

  • 3:50 Obi wan likes blunts hehe

  • i love u

  • I think The PHantom menace would be great if george gave a origin of the Sith and jedi like he said in the beginning. If your gonna make a prequel, might aswell cover everything that is left unanswered in star wars. Start by the obvious. George should've spent more time on the story than the special effects and fighting. Not to say i don't like it. i think the action scenes are great, but put as much effort in the story telling than action.

  • The scene from 7:36 to 7:40 is a deleted scene?! It isn't in the movie.

  • @aleksz4000 it is in the movie man haha

  • @MLGiZRiPPiN Between 7:36 - 7:40 its 100% that it isn't in the movie.

  • @aleksz4000 wish it was in the movie its an awesome part. if u watch the deleted scenes documentary it shows how they get from that level to the one above it.

  • @i4c4eva Can i find that scene on the internet?

  • @aleksz4000 u might be able to. ive never looked for it since i owned the dvd of it lol

  • George is a genius no joke. Ray park is a brillant Gymnist, Swordsman, actor all together.

  • 7:30 and 7:40 were not in the movie :(

  • The Prequel lightsaber fights were never that interesting. It felt like watching choreographed dancing with glowsticks. Where's the tension? Where's the danger? And don't give me that bullshit that the Jedi and Sith were calm no matter what. So what? They're fighting for their lives. They should at least show the audience that they're feeling the weight of duels. Real fighting doesn't last 30 minutes. It happens quickly and intensely.

  • you know....i am in an interesting position. I old enough to have grown up on ep 4-6 and young enough to have experienced ep 1-3 from a less established life living with ep 4-6. So....what im trying to say is, i liked ep 1-3 :)

  • tarest 

  • star wars= epic!

  • Who wouldve guessed that Darth Maul did his rehearsing in a polo and cutt-off jean shorts. 4:05

  • So epic! Gad - how imressive!!

  • I heard admiral ackbar in my head at the very end.

  • Did anyone else see John Lennon in this video?

  • @Batmanwaffledog Where?

  • It's kind of funny watching the choreography slowed down here...really becomes evident that Obi Wan and Qui Gonn were politely waiting their turns to step in and hit their blades against Darth Maul's blades while he was dancing around. If those two Jedi decided to really get serious they could have gotten in there and taken him apart.

  • So Episode 1 takes place in 1947?

  • No was in November 12th,1955 at 10:04pm, when the clock tower was struck by lightning XD

  • @Bloodthr0e

    What part of a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away don't you understand?

  • @Bloodthr0e

    What part of a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away don't you understand? XD

  • star wars is the best

  • wow i cant bellive that guy was darth mual. this is s good vid to find out how it all works!

  • George Lucas's timeline is way off! Definitely not <40 years between episode 1 and 4.

  • @bhrackley Trouble is, if he says it it's pretty much canon. I'm still having trouble believing Palpatine could basically brainwash an entire galaxy in two decades....

  • @bhrackley

    Incorrect. George is correct.

    1-2 = 10 years

    2-3 = 3 years

    3-4 = 20 years

    33 years between episodes 1 and 4.

  • @betterthanbooks 3-4 is actually 19 years. So 32 years between episodes 1-4

  • 0:23 wait for the ball drop......

  • Its a shame he had to direct episodes 1, 2, and 3. He's really not that good of a director. I think its funny that the episode most think to be the best(Empire Strikes Back) was not directed by him. Hell the only really good movie he ever directed was New Hope.

  • The way DM died is so stupid and unfitting - c'mon George any film student could have dreamed up something better than that!

    I wish DM's spectre had come back in Ep II or III.

  • @Peterplayingguitar

    actually, according to the expanded universe, he didn't die from that

  • But seriously, compare that fight to last fight in Return of the jedi. I got goosebumps, but this... is cool and all that, but you don't care a bit about this fight, there is nooone emotions just perfect synchro. Obi wan should try to "kill" Maul, not just waving around in choreography.

  • Darth Maul should of returned in Attack of the clones and survived at the end of episode 1. Count Doukue what ever you spell his name is the worst villain of them all.

  • how old was liam when this movie was made? btw, liam is a total badass in schindler's list

  • Ray Park is the shit

  • does Darth Maul even have dialog? oh well best sith ever

  • @ss42Ty yah. right after padme, qui-gon, and anakin arrive home.

  • the serious bad guy we never see or understand. why did the coolest character had to be in the worst of the star wars films and gets killed as soon as we see him start to kick ass. what the fuck man.

  • @door286 yep2 i concur....but u want to know more about darth maul....u can buy the novel....it also explain his weakness..... HUBRIS....

  • How far was the fall at 7:20? Looks like quite a bit.

  • 5:16 I like that move and wish I could do it! :D

  • just for the record id always play darth maul on battlefront 2 mos eisley. nothing was better than the double sided light saber

  • Comment removed

  • @favoredmissnique adgvkuy EUYTVK???

  • @F34RT3HR34PP3R lmbo! sorry my STUPID annoying pest of a little brother didn't sign out of my account which made it look like i wrote that crap. smdh.

  • I dunno how you can complain if u truly like star wars <3.. i mean... LOVE

  • This shows more of what I don't like about Lucas - he imposed his ideas even in the fighting which I think took away from the effect overall such as how during the fights there was just way too many close ups and it diminished the epic choreography somewhat.

    There was also way too much CGI. If you look at what many people consider to be the best movie out of all of them it's probably going to be 'Empire' mostly and that was directed by Irvin Kirschner, not Lucas.

    Lucas -good story bad director

  • @YoshiroShin yeah. allso bad story telling. the idea of the preacules is ok and the major idea is ok. but how its told is making me want to kill my self.

  • @gooddarkjedi I also hate that new useless Clone Wars series. The first one was better. As for the movies - I think the prequel trilogy should be completely redone (while keeping Lucas far far away from it)

  • Episode I's lightsaber duel is the best one in my opinion. Naysayers can say whatever they want about The Phantom Meance, but they cannot deny that the duel is awesome. Even if they do prefer the more traditional style of dueling in the classic trilogy, they should still at least appreciate the hard work and outstanding choreography that Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, and Ray Park did for this movie.

  • I never knew they had to go through such intense training. I thought there was way more CGI, and that some of the moves did not make sense....but now I see it's all perfectly calculated and well thought out. My respect for these actors just went up exponentially.

  • wow i wonder what happens if they mess up or miss

    POW!

  • @mastercheif158 yeah most likely, As i am a martial artist you have to have good control of your actions when doing the moves at that speed.

  • this from the DVd

  • I LOVE NEESON

  • Neeson and Mcgregor were cast perfectly.That fight with Maul is by far the best fight in the films. Sad for Qui-Gon tho, dies to the first Sith he meets lol >.<

  • If darth never died he whould be the sith lord and sideous whould be darth vaders aprentece.

  • thanks george lucas for star wars!

  • @jonttu881 too bad he fucking ruined episode 1 and 2. the light saber battles in those looked like dacing. i liked the one in episode 5 bechose it seemes so real.

  • @jonttu881 but angry we are, for Samuel Jackson dying 

  • @jonttu881 too bad hes an asshole in real life

  • @jonttu881 I'll thank him for the three first, and redlettermedia for getting something out the three latest.

  • liam neeson=awesomeness personified

  • blunt

  • you monster! leave indiana jones alone!

    -squeal like a pig boy-

    nOOOoOOoOoO!!!

  • At 3.20 Liam talks about the lightsabers being swung effortlessly. In an original triology interview, Lucas says he wanted the sabers to be swung heavily, like broadswords. I think the prequels lost a lot of the emotion and energy in the duels from this style difference. The prequels kinda changed "knights" into "ninjutsu."

  • @Krylov223 The original trilogy's fight scenes are a bad joke. I study kendo and iaido and even the prequels' fights are still a bad joke with the exception of Ray Park. You can't fight swinging heavily, it just doesn't work.

  • @deimos2k but they are fighting with lightsabers. its different.

  • im pretty sure the guy that played darth maul was the same guy who played snake eyes in G.I. Joe

  • @XeviatorXevious you are correct. He also played Toad in the X-Men

  • Must have been hard to learn. Particuarly when you watch the movie, then you think bloody hell! Maul is so fast.

  • George Lucas is a GOD! Darth Maul is the coolest sith! He should have lived and been wayy sttronger!

  • @ToreSkogman666 dude thats like the point. jedi conspiracy. and the jedi protects the government. so its only fair to have a sith in the counsel.

  • It would be cool to see an "Episode 0" and find out how Darth Maul became Sith. I mean, if he wouldn't've been killed by Obi Wan, he would've become Darth Vader, wouldn't he?

  • @Enkeria:

    Darth Maul is gay, and so are the newer SW movies! WHO CARES ABOUT FUCKING SPACE-POLITICS!?

  • Although I don't believe it was NECESSARY to have great fight scenes in Star Wars (considering none of the 4, 5, 6 fight scenes can be considered choreographically great), the way this fight scene was put together for Phantom Menace was amazing.

  • Great Cheoeography

  • Darth Maul is the sexiest, coolest, most athletic, badass sith EVER

  • @MohammedJafar omg literally ROFLMAO-ing when i read that

  • @jloeman106 lol its true

  • @MohammedJafar no he isn't...exar kun is

  • @MohammedJafar he is also EMO

  • @MohammedJafar vader covers coolest and badass. Fucking nothing against Maul though. Dat boay be mah other fav

  • @MohammedJafar So I supposed you want to get stuck with someone like that at your wedding? Mom I'd like you to meet Darth Maul, and yes he's my type.

  • @MohammedJafar YES, HE IS. Its a shame that they game him that less screentime and text... at least they coul've give him a topless-in-the-rain scene... :D Drool

  • @MohammedJafar till he gets halved like a loaf of bread

  • One of the best sci-fi moives of all time.

  • @TVGambino One?! THE BEST!!

  • Liam Neeson did his own fights? Awesome! All this time, I thought he had a double doing it

  • The main problem isn't that Maul only had a few lines, it's that they had to kill him off in the first film. He's my all time favorite and it would have been awesome to have him survive until the third film and be killed by Anakin.

  • I hate rick mcallum but otherwise great video thanks

  • the bald guy is ray park right??

  • 7:20 i dont want to live anymore!!!!!!!

  • @StigVaderWho Why

  • Why don't they put the scene at 7:38 in the movie?

  • 7:19 - 7:20 holy crap how high was that jump??? better have been some soft padding below him lol.

  • juzz92 s right sry but i agree we are all tightled to our own opionion

  • On a visual level Darth Maul was a fucking bad ass! but...on a story level he was a mere prop.

  • Liam Neeson looks even wiser than Qui-Gonn without his robess :D

  • George Lucas needs to surround himself with people who are willing to critique his work and offer constructive criticism. Film is a collaboration and he seems to have forgotten this in all of his years of fighting for control of his films.

  • I tried to do that move at 5:16 and I have to say that the actor that played Dart Maul is probably sith too...

  • I wished Darth Maul was king over the siths.. He was far beyond cooler then Darth Vader ever will be.

  • Best sith ever

  • George lucas ruined star wars lol

  • 2:15 Hammertime???

  • Comment removed

  • my god i found a hidden colony of starwars freaks

  • The new movies suck so bad. Ray Park was the only part in the movies worth watching.

  • So 7:29-32 and 7:37-41 . . . Why did they take those shots out? Dropping the ball guys.

  • you know who the first real Jedi's were? way back when (i dont remember the exact period in time) a bunch of Samurai wanted to change belief systems to Christianity.

    I've read reports online of George Lucas admitting that 'the force' is loosley based off of Christianity. Therfore, by becoming a Christian Samurai you become a Jedi! Cool huh?

  • 1:47 he had the chance to slide his light sabre and cut off his elbow!!!

  • Comment removed

  • some of these final fight scenes aren't in the final version.... =(

  • Nick Gillard was kickin some ass on the rehearsal fights.

  • the sith aprentists always kill there masters to become the masters themselve...

    maul should kill count doku or .. hell yeah palpatine^^ and become the BIG BAD BOY

    sith lord xD

  • How ace would a TV series be with real actors and not the rubbish computer genrated one.

    We want mor story!!!

  • george lucas u lazy fuckk....juss sit back and collect royalties why dontchaa

  • Darth Maul iss cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­lllllllllllll 

  • as much as i love darth maul, he was up against obi-wan, he stood no chance, dude even killed grievous, who collected lightsabers of fallen jedi AS A HOBBY. still though, wouldn't they have killed palpatine? i hate that guy, dooku, im alright with just because he uses makashi style.

  • Listen to them describe Ray Park's skills, and yet they don't let him speak. Then they kill him. Makes sense since lucas wanted the fights to be more energetic... Cause Jedi in Luke's time were slower or weaker or had less training right.... He was trained by Yoda ffs. More Clear proof that George Lucas should be erased with time travel and the movies fixed into something un-suck.

  • @Aggrevaine he was just pointing out that the only people fighting in the originals were old, crippled, or new to it, so none were as good or energetic, even if they were trained by yoda

  • @TheAtomicReagan something so many people forget

  • The formats to small

  • And he fucking out-shined everyone.

  • George Lucas had to kill Darth Maul...he must make the movie suck.

  • It was necessary for Maul to die. It was killing Maul that made Obi-Wan a full-fledged Jedi Knight.

  • I think that Dooku is the most stupid charecter of all Maul is much much beter choise

  • @TheManowar95 i agree that dooku wasn't as good as maul. but you have to realize who played dooku. it was christopher lee. that guy is amazing and a legend. he's a really talented actor and i also liked him in lord of the rings when he played Saruman.

  • @TheManowar95 I disagree

  • In the books maul wasn't dead, he came back with 2 mechanical legs but then was killed by a bounty hunter or Luke I think. But yeah Maul should be much stronger.

  • Obi Wan killed him

  • @IronicSoul999 Omg, did you even read my comment?? He didn't die when Obi-Wan cut him in half he lived and got 2 mechanical legs. He almost died 8 times then finally got killed by a bounty hunter. Noob.

  • You clearly didn't do you home work. His clone version was killed by Darth Vader and your metal legged version fought Obi-Wan and was shot in the head by Lars.

  • @IronicSoul999 Holy fuck man thats right. Sorry im the noob =( I forgot about that but yeah i read that a long time ago. 

  • Terrible film

  • the fights in the new star wars where to choreographed particularly the last one the darth maul on tatoween is what it shod of been like

  • Anakin vs Darth Maul episode 2 would have been epic. If you read the books Maul was alot stronger than they make him look in this movie

  • @MohammedJafar There are star wars books? Were they before the movies?

  • @BADWOLFRYAN1 yes they have books based thousands of years before episode one. check out "Darth Bane: Path of Destruction" it shows how the sith went from hundreds to the Rule of Two. and if you read "Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter" (i think thats the title) it is Darth Mauls missions right before episode 1. the books help make sense of the movies and tell you what happens in between the movies and all the secrets that the movies didnt have. You learn alot from the books

  • @MohammedJafar It was shite that they killed him off so quick

  • @Koeiwarriorsfan16 yeah. you have to read the books to learn about his missions before the 1st movie. They are awesome

  • @MohammedJafar Do you have a link to any ? im very lazy and dont know what to search :P

  • @Koeiwarriorsfan16 yes ill pm you

  • The cool thing about Darth Maul is that he's based on different cultures' archetypes of the devil :) total badass

  • best scene

  • Not digging the center crop. Not at all.

  • @TheMartialartsJedi Ya you can also see jedi with 2 lightsabers.... It's bad ass

  • Episode 2 would've have been saved by Maul.

  • @teetertotter68 - Agreed. Maul died stupidly, and he would have lent a lot more presence than Dooku. Rod Hilton pointed out that Dooku having also died stupidly, it would have been better had Maul just lived through Episode III.

  • I want one of those saber thingys =c

  • great making of. I'm tired of people complaining about this movie you can still enjoy it. yeah there are stupid parts but it's still Star Wars.

  • go the user funnelproduction

    their vids are hilarilious. Promote and pass on!!!

    "making funnel" is kinda like the office!!!

    they even have a wicked funny skit involving the beatles!!!

    Super funny, even if they are a little young

  • gillard played cin drallig

  • i liked maul too but come on .....cristopher lee best villan actor ever with loads of swordplay talent over his 60 odd years acting experience ,and he was in the Special forces! (not sure if it was the SAS ) but for a man his age at the time he played the count 80% of the swordplay was his . Astounding person :)

  • i wonder if it´s ewan at 7.19

  • Darth Maul fan from day 1, even before the movie, the movie just made me happier about it. :D

  • it pissed me off that quigon died so damn early honestly he shouldve been ordered to stand down and another master replace him as obiwans mentor just to spare him. i would have loved to see him fight anakin in episode 3 or even join dooku for that matter.

  • that 1 guy who was obi wan konibis master uhm isint he in the batman films he trains batman as like a ninja right idk i seen his face and thought of it just now

  • Darth Maul was a really interesting looking character, one that you easily could identify among other villians. However, the main problem was him not saying more than three lines in the entire movie. This made it difficult for the audience to understand his motives and what his persona was like.

  • @Juzz92 Some bad guys don't talk lol. Like the guy in gta 3

  • @Juzz92 well i read up on him, and it says that someone else played his voice because George didnt like his voice for the part, and im pretty sure it was abitch to keep over lapping someones voice with his.

  • @TWOGUYS0NECAMERA But the script must have been written before the making of the movie. This means that they must have deleted a whole lot of scenes with Darth Maul talking because of the over-lapping-problem during the final editing.
