- Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Darth Maul, or better known as the "Duel of the Fates" lightsaber battle, cut down into a single cohesive scene here and shown in 4K HDR.
A 4K HDR sample from my Extended Star Wars Episode I Cut, simply titled "The Phantom Menace - Extended Edition". As of today, both cuts have now been updated to a new 2.0 version, featuring several minor tweaks in audio, updates to the HDR color timing (especially for Episode I), tweaks to transitions, and brand new A.I. upscales of many of the deleted scenes. A total of 7 deleted scenes have been restored in the film.
Note: The trimmed down version of the duel of the fates battle is only for the youtube upload. The version scene in the film cut itself won't be intercut in this same way.
Both of my Extended Episode I and II cuts are available in both 4K HDR and 1080p SDR, along with my other edits like the 4.5 hour Revenge of the Sith - The Siege of Mandaore Supercut the, Star Wars Episode IV - The Rogue Cut, and many more!

Finally. A video where they show Maul’s intro before the fight. I think it’s important for the Sith Lord to have a little dramatic opening before the fight really begins. Thank you. I appreciate it very much.
Fr, i was looking for a vid with the intro because of how the door opens with duel of the fatesz
It's definitely a pinnacle moment that emphasizes Darth Maul's level and that only Qui Gon and Obi Wan are a match for him!
EXACTLY MY FKN THOUGHT BRO!
Literally wasnt watching the fight without seeing his intro first
except they cut out the end......
Say what you want about the prequel trilogy, this is one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.
It was also a really important fight for the fate of young Anakin
@@Crystal_and_Shrek_life Which begs the question, had Maul won, would the empire ever have come to prominence?
@@Torquemadia good question
@@TorquemadiaI think so cause by this time dooku is already in league with palpatine and they have the clone wars in the works. I’m pretty sure palpatine had multiple plans so if anakin died or something like that he’d just have plans B thru zed
I think if the whole movie had been as good as this, Phantom Menace would've been the best Star Wars movie ever made.
Qui Gon was so underrated. He was an aggressive, strong attacker in this duel. Only his age worked against him.
Every jedi practiced all standard saber fighting forms, it's just that certain people excelled in specific categories above others. Qui gon valued life and knowledge of the force but common sense in this instant would dictate going against an agile dathomirian zabrak wielding an unorthodox weapon to be on the offensive and apply pressure, he was still a master and earned it through skill
Bro got bopped and instantly lost focus
@@user-mg7wh8zq6v I think thats a bit of short sighted take, if you're watching their body language there is a clear moment where Qui Gon is visible confused by Maul spinning his lightsaber
Its a moment of hesitation Maul notices this and realized he's wary and unsure of which blade will hit next
Its an opening he then exploits in an unorthodox way, a hilt bash to the head the exact opposite of what Qui Gon was being wary of. Its stupid but clever.
Learned from arguably one of the best duelest Dooku
просто дарт Мол был сильным своего учителя, в этом фильме все ученики убивают учителя 😂❤
I love the silent mutual respect and meditative discipline they all have when they disrobe. No show boating, no mouthing off. They all just know what it is.
Instant intuitive recognition of the power and formidability of one another. They're about to get down on that level.
They all know they about to run that fade
They were all business and while they saw each other as the enemy, both sides focused on their respective goals, each other's deaths.
If this had been Dooku, he'd have talked a lot of smack as that's part of his arsenal but Maul at this point was simply about fighting and winning.
I love that silence, both know one of them is about to die.
No laughs, no words, just focus to kill the other one.
The dark side of the force is strong in this one: Yessss push off qui gonna ginn!
This whole sequence is better than all disney star wars movies and tv shows
I remember seeing this scene as a kid and just being awestruck
0:26 me too.
@@nathancruz9172 and now we're all middle aged men...
Yes gosh was this a epic moment in the theater. The chills that ran down my body omg lol
Darth Maul is my best!
@@osirissmith5254 it was a treat in 3D
This is the most quietest fight ever. Besides Obi-Wan screaming NOOOOO, there were no words said between all of these guys throughout the entire fight.
That's what made it good. None of these stupid cliches where the they have to get their cheesey lines in between duelling sets.
It's part of what makes it perfect. They both realize that Maul isn't an average enemy and treat him accordingly
Yes, because the opponents have no relation to each other whatsoever. Its just a final boss so the characters can hit each other with their glowsticks.
Yeah but listen to that score - absolutely brilliant.
@@JeremyMacDonald1973 the music really makes the entire fight, nobody would give it a second look without it
2:40 I love how Maul paces back and forth and stares, like a predatory animal waiting to capture its prey.
It is the contrast between the two thats the key here!Qui Gon being trained a jedi sits peacefully and meditates.while Maul the sith dark sider embraces his passion and emotions pacing angrily.Amazing scene,one of the top of the 6 official Star Wars movies!
@@dihatzhs It shows the contrast between all three characters. Obi-wan is impetuous and impatient, Qui-gon is measured and controlled, and Darth Maul is like a jaguar toying with its prey!
Obi-wan is panicking, desperate to reach his Master and fight by his side.
Maul is impatient- he wants to get back to the fight and test his power against the Jedi.
Qui-Gon is accepting and at peace. He’s already come to terms with the fact this is his last battle- but at the same time, he’s resolved not to go down without giving the Sith all he’s got
❤❤❤YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR DEATH IF YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, AND TRUST IN HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART, BECAUSE HE ATONED FOR YOU FOR ALL YOUR INSULTS, THAT YOU WOULD OBTAIN PEACE WITH ALMIGHTY GOD, AND GO TO HEAVEN BY HIS GRACE!!!❤❤❤!!!❤❤❤!❤❤❤YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR DEATH IF YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, AND TRUST IN HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART, BECAUSE HE ATONED FOR YOU FOR ALL YOUR INSULTS, THAT YOU WOULD OBTAIN PEACE WITH ALMIGHTY GOD, AND GO TO HEAVEN BY HIS GRACE!!!❤❤❤!!!❤❤❤!
@@josepoika5388 ...you good? Leave capslock on or something-
As a kid, this scene was worth the price of a theater ticket..
Imagine being so good at sign spinning they ask you to become one of the most popular sith in history.
Now I'm picturing Darth Maul working for Liberty Mutual, dressed up as the Statue of Liberty and twirling a sign.
@@not.supermario the true Darth Maul origin story
is that actually how ray park got his role?
Regardless of whether that’s how he got his role or not, he literally is one of the most iconic villains…and he literally said 33 words
This whole sequence is better than all disney star wars movies and tv shows
People dunk on this movie but this scene was just fantastic. Sure it introduced bunch of space kung-fu and almost made it impossible for Star Wars to not focus on lighsticks, but the music! The choreography! There is almost no dialogue. Everything is conveyed through movements, facial expressions.
I don’t know why. I fucking love this movie. It’s my 2nd favorite, behind *Attack of the Clones* and *Revenge of the Sith* .
I misread the second word as drunk lol I thought for a second “how can someone get drunk to a movie” 🤣
Well said man.
@@joshdk97 I'm drunk watching this so...
@@chawlz lol
1:44 Qui Gon mildly annoyed straight up bitch slapping Maul of the bridge is still the hardest shit in star wars
then proceeds to jump down..while Maul was still holding the saber?
Would’ve been dead earlier if the writing wasn’t poor
The Jedi backhand of peace and tranquility.
This whole sequence is better than all disney star wars movies and tv shows
I think that was Master Dooku's Training kicking in with that backhand slap
I wish there was more physicality in the PT duels. That slap was awesome. There are a lot of moments that make you feel like it's real- in the other PT fights things got a little weightless. Perfect combination of physicality and finesse.
I had Darth Maul shirts, lunch kits, backpacks…. Pretty much everything 😂😂😂 my grandma said it was the devil 😂
Darth Maul is the best ❤ And you're Grandma 😂 she wasn't off by much. Maul was designed to look like a demon/the devil.
😂😂 You should've told her it was your Master 😂😂
A reason why he was used as the inspiration for Lipstick Face Demon in Insidious
She wasn't wrong about the devil part
I had the Darth maul backpack too it was a flex lol
My favorite scene in Starwars. Maul embraces this fight like no other character, patiently and methodically hunting his prey across the galaxy. When the gates open he is out numbered 30 to 1, with two Jedi to defeat. Maul wanted the fight, he wanted to beat both Jedi at once. Doesn’t say a word, just focuses his anger and energy into his sole purpose.
Maul was anything but patient. Pacing like that is a big sign of impatience. Take it from me.
@@NicholasVetter-sy8iocertainly subject to interpretation lol
If Obi-Wan hadn't tapped into the dark side, like he does anytime he defeats someone challenging until 'New Hope', Maul would have won.
But why?
@@NicholasVetter-sy8io eagerness does not equal impatience. Pacing is a sign of high intelligence
I can now say I have seen this in the cinema being 21 years old. A biblical moment in my life
Here in Peru i'm going to see it on today's midnight.
Dude, i think i'm going to cry on that moment
Umm .. Amen.
@@Metarockerlmlthis scene gives you absolute chills
Saw it last night. Awesome experience
Saw it on the 4th. It was fucking magical seeing one of the original 6 films in cinema.
0:36 The most badass Lightsaber ignition in all of Star Wars.
faxs
Fr would give so much to see it again for the first time biggest OOOH SHIT moment of my childhood 😂
What a legendary.. Darth Mauls character was just fantastic..
Tbh everyone says Grievous but no. This is thé best one
@@Berserk_96I say both, hell even though the sequels suck absolute ass kylo's trailer lightsaber ignition was truly awesome before we knew what the sequels were gonna be
I think something is overlooked about this fight is how it appears that despite them being enemies when the door opens he doesn’t do any type of trickery, he looks up removes his robes and gives them ample enough time to remove theirs and turn on their sabers, it would appear they mutually respect one another to a certain point
That comment made me think of Ace Ventura When Nature Calls with Ace fighting in the Circle of Death.
"Sorry, White Devil. 😂 But he must kill you now 🤨"
😆 🤣 😂
@@crazyman7671 he said , “let me guess white devil white devil??” “YES YOU SPEAK WHACUTU????”
Maul prides himself on being a warrior and wants to defeat them in combat to prove himself.
It’s kind of similar to how maul fought pre viszla for the darksaber and didn’t use the force against him, he wanted it as even as possible despite pre viszla using his jet pack
@@pinheadlarry1327 that’s a valid point I forgot all about that. Theres a side to his character I never noticed as a kid, to me as a kid I was just like wow look at the double saber lol
Best. Duel. Ever.
What about anakin and obi wan
@@ertugrulandosmanfan4894 overrated
@@xtmikotx no kylo ren and rey duel is overated
@@ertugrulandosmanfan4894 you couldn’t be any more wrong. Nobody likes the sequels, nobody gives a shit about Rey and Kylo. Ani and obi had one of the greatest and most popular duels, but it’s just too overrated for being iconic, and having 2 of Star wars’ greatest characters duel for the fate of the world. That is easily overrated. Rey and kylo had shitty fights all throughout the sequels.
@@xtmikotx anakin and obi wans duel is not overated people say its the best
Probably one of the most well trained and skilled sith, not only he fought against a Jedi master and an apprentice at the same time, he killed the master and almost killed the apprentice
Most of the fight Obi Wan was a complete liability
@@Hawks086😂😂😂
@@Hawks086he was the first padawan to face off against a sith in over a thousand years. Its surprising he lasted as long as he did without getting cut down, let alone besting him after cutting down his master lol
@@daniellau5859that’s cause obi wan tampered into the dark side briefly, that was the reason he managed to defeat maul
@@jedayesingh2842 Anytime he beats someone challenging until "New Hope" he is tapping into the dark side.
This is one of those moments I wish I could go back and relive in the movie theater. When that second blade popped out, everyone went nuts.
just came across your comment now, and i’m happy u can finally have ur wish! May 3rd is gonna be amazing!!!🔥i really hope u can see this in a theatre near u🤝
Gonna sneak in to watch Episode 1
The two things I would want to experience given a time machine:
Premier of A New Hope, experiencing it live with others having never seen anything like it.
And relieving this. Just all of this.
@@osirisx3r0actually there is footage of this on youtube, a guy did record it somehow back in the day
This whole sequence is better than all disney star wars movies and tv shows
I love Mauls pacing back and forth like a caged lion when he's behind the barrier.
Also Waiting For his Prey
Apparently the day they filmed this, Natalie Portman had not yet seen the Darth Maul makeup or knew anything about the character, and so her reaction, which is only partially seen in the next shot when she turns to the side, was one of genuine surprise-intrigue-terror at this red demon waiting behind the hangar door.
Source ?
@@wagnerp1213 I think it's on the commentary track on the 2006 DVD box set.
Smart directing.
To finally see this on big screen was amazing
The music for these scenes is so important, John Williams is a genius. He created a master piece for these moments, two religions, two enemies fighting again after a 1000 years… magnificent
0:18 Love how both parties allow themselves a moment to remove their cloaks... thats how you know its gonna be a fight.
Ray Park is such a master! I'm glad that Clone Wars brought him back to do Maul's motion capture for the fight against Ahsoka. 😊👍
That was prob the best sequence in that show. I remember being in awe not realizing the mocap work at first like wow I had thought the sidious vs maul and savage scene was dope
This whole sequence is better than all disney star wars movies and tv shows
Honestly, the thing i like most about this scene is the window into each of their personalities when trapped between the gates. Maul is impatiently pacing back and forth, eager to kill his prey like a predator. Qui Gon is tensely, but patiently meditating, to reserve his strength and focus. And finally Obi Wan, helplessly stuck behind, but alert and ready to reach and help his friend the very second the gates open. Not a single word of dialogue between them,and we learn so much about them by simply watching. It's such a small thing, but i massively appreciate little character moments like that.
My favorite scene in this fight
It's an easy detail to miss, but you're well rewarded for viewing
It’s also the first sign that Obi Wan is one of the strongest force users ever. The fact he knows the INSTANT the gates are gonna open, and lights his saber immediately before it occurs, while both Maul and Qui Gon are reactionary.
This whole sequence is better than all disney star wars movies and tv shows
One of George’s best strengths as a director are scenes without Dialogue.
Probably the greatest battle of good vs evil in the history of film....as a teenager watching this all I had were goosebumps wishing that was me with a saber
This, I know this exact feeling man.
Not a patch on luke vader but its up there
I love Maul’s feigned look of bewilderment at 2:30, as if he hasn’t already scoped out this location. He knows exactly the battlefield he’s picked, and he’s just trying to throw Qui-Gon off.
This and Clone Wars really show just how smart and manipulative Maul is.
This duel still stands alone as a representation of the ancient conflict between the Sith and Jedi and what it would have looked like when the Sith were at the height of their power. Sidious is pure Sith, of course, but his fights are so full of special effects that it doesn't have the same effect. When I imagine duels from Knights of the Old Republic being translated to the big screen, I imagine them looking like this.
Yeah this scene was the most EU Jedi/sith fight in the whole series it is raw big and full of absolute epicness that I’d expect from a revan or bane duel this is how I’d want it. No weird frills and overly done cgi just lets go shit hit the fan one of us is gonna get out of this scenario
Yeah imo this is peak lightsabering, flashy and quick but not too overblown superheroish.
I always loved Qui-Gon backhanding Maul at 1:40 lol
Imagine getting back handed by Liam Neeson and surviving...
He pimp-slapped/bitch-slapped his face.
@@luigicavallo270 Yup that was Master Dooku's Training that kicked in when Qui-Gon slapped Maul.
1:44 Is when the backhand actually happened. And he could've stuck his saber into Maul for that opening and ended the fight.
@@calebgraham6166 I wanted to give a few seconds of buffer? Sorry I was 4 seconds off.
0:41 the snarl and lightsaber twirl goes really hard fr
I didn't even notice the snarl, that's raw
Qui-Gon has always been and probably always will be my favourite Jedi. Loved him since I was like 5 years old
He was the Jedi who got things figured out, in a time the Jedi philosophy was decaying, and making itself vulnerable to the return of the Sith.
Had Qui Gon survived this fight, Anakin would have been spared from the dark side, and the Jedi would have been saved and reformed.
My favorite jedi master .
This is the kind of filmmaking Lucas brings that Disney can't. The ghostly/witchcraft sounds in the background before Qui Gon dies tells you that we're in the Sith's territory now and this moment will go their way.
The best duel intro ever.
One of my strongest core memories in life is walking through a mall with my mom at 5 years old, seeing this scene playing on a bunch of tvs in an electronics store, and just losing all sense of reality as I zoned out on the screens. Iconic!
I'm 35 years old and this is still as amazing as when I saw it in Theatres.
lol im 34--i feel you, brother
At first, I just saw 35 years old and I had a mini heart attack thinking that the movie was 35. 💀
@@yomang6614just 25 😊
What the hell I’m 42 and still amazed
Yall it's in theaters now nation wide after 25 years !!!
1:44 Damn that b!tch slap by Qui Gon was 🤌
The balls it takes to kick at someone during a lightsaber duel against two enemies and actually land it, twice is legendary
Fr. People really do sleep on Darth Maul, dude was insanely skilled and powerful
Saw it yesterday in a movie theater again for the 25 years anniversay re-release. AWESOME. CHILDHOOD AND EPICNESS BIVES STILL FRESH
Still my favorite duel in all of Star Wars. The entrance, the double blade, the music, the choreography, and the emotion...unmatched.
You have to wonder what purpose those laser doors served.
Occupational health and safety requirements
@@Strafuzz yeah, there's more hole than floor after those gates
Would you rather hear an exposition dialogue mid fight about how these doors work
If it were anime, those laser doors would be given their own flashback story, (in the middle of the fight) explaining everything.
anticipation
maul standing behind the door like "theyll be here aaaany minute now"
When I was younger I never appreciated how good this movie actually was, even with its flaws.
In this scene if you look closely Kenobi feints an attack then pulls back as Qui Gon jumps in to attack.
Very subtle but great cinematography.
Timestamp?
I for the life of me cant see many flaws…I never understood the hate this film got. It’s a good film.
@@Aisatsana1971 agree. It has the magic of the OT. different aesthetic but same magic.
The acolyte: we're gonna top this
Me: Jonah Jameson laugh, you're serious?
The acolyte looks like garbage sorry to say.
0:18 how the soldiers jog/ran on the far left. LOL i cant unsee it now.
Thanks now I can’t lmfao
So many cringe details.
lightsabers will never be the same. Among so many other things about this trilogy. You can actually hear these, like, explosions? at 1:04 and 1:13 when savers clash. There’s another really loud one when obiwan and maul go at it after Gin died. So cool
Yeah, now Lightsabers are just fancy baseball bats.
Sound design was amazing.
The sound design in these fights were incredible the sequels every blow sounds the same.
This scene always gets me, how Qui -Gon meditates and Darth maul paces back and forth, you can feel the hate towards Qui-Gon and he simply prepares for battle, still gets me today
I always wondered if Qui-Gon, during his meditation, foresaw that he would die. It would've been more epic if that were true because as soon as the shields disable, he doesn't cowardly run away, but he charges right at Maul and fights courageously.
This scene is better than the whole sequel trilogy 😂😭
Really appreciate these 4k clips! Thank you!
No problem!
I remember as a kid this being my favorite scene…..
Obi wan learned the importance of the high ground that day
What makes this scene so special is because no one had seen a double lightsaber till now. I remember when the second blade came out and the whole theater went bunkers!
Obi wan is such a good form 3 defense user that he knew at 3:31 qui gon was at a move disadvantage but still had hope he could turn it around... the subtle details after rewatching makes these films even better
Anyone else get goosebumps when the music kicks in when obi wan is trying to catch up as qui gon is driving maul back
This fight was absolutely awesome in theaters again!
Same was first time ever seen in cinema today was amazing felt like 1999 for 2 hours
@@adamfull3181I Saw It In 4DX, When This happened Sparks were coming down from the ceiling and I was so amazed
Just saw this movie in theater this past weekend, getting to see it on the big screen for the first time was so worth it
Same here just felt like was in 1999
If this movie came out today, it would be nominated for best cinematography awards. Modern movies have lost those static and deliberate camera shots in favor of frenetic shakiness. Every shot here in Phantom Menace feels purposeful and conveys so much information. It all feels so cinematic when shots are allowed to breathe and linger.

who else is here taking a trip down memory lane of when they were kids............welcome brothers and sisters
I was 7 and shit my pants, figuratively of course
I like that Qui Gon meditates during the break but then attacks once it ends. This shows that he is balancing his mind, while maul is all aggression.
Yeah, and look where that got him. lol Maul, aka mr. “all aggression”, won the fight in case you didn’t notice.
@@sparrowprince3432 Likewise, look where it led Darth Maul his entire existence. Slavery, suffering, death, anger, hatred. He was a rabid attack dog that suffered not just before his defeat, but after it. Obi Wan, if anything, ended his suffering.
Qui Gon, however, meditated, accepting in peace that if this was to be his end, it would be. And once it came, he would become one with the Force.
It has nothing to do with being at peace, it's a known technique called combat meditation that's supposed to give the user a temporary boost in their connection to the Force
The 25th anniversary is coming up! This fight will never NOT be awesome as hell!!!!
Nothing compares seeing something this the very first time. And something so simple but impactful. Seeing only single lightsabers. Then a "bad guy" we always labled, whips out a DOUBLE blade. Young or Old, you WILL indeed pay full attention.
✋😔👌
0:53 This part always gives me goosebumps.
I love young arrogant obi wans cocky approach
*Your master, Qui-Gon Jinn, I gutted him while you stood helpless and watched. How did that make you feel, Obi-Wan? Your rage has unbalanced you. That is not the Jedi way, is it?*
Criminal that the end is left out. Obi finishing this fight is the best lightsaber choreography star wars has.
Does anyone remember how seeing that double-sided lightsaber for the 1st time was epic af
I remembered smiling and thinking EPIC!!!!!
@pa.encema2821 thank you, nobody even knew there was such a thing, I guess unless the hardcore fans, but I didn't know😢
02:15 that’s a bad ass angle/shot
One of the greatest movies of all time
I was like 8 watching this in the movie theaters thinking it was boring af until I saw this. It was the best thing I’ve ever seen.
This entrance never gets old! Absolutely iconic!
This fight is better than the entire final trilogy.
Yeah fuck Disney
I can’t explain how powerful a moment this was as a kid seeing this in theaters. People went absolutely CRAZY when the doors opened up screaming and yelling with electricity. You could even see the parents faces change with excitement that didn’t care for Star Wars or knew nothing about it. Even they knew they were witnessing something spectacular and a once in a lifetime moment
To me this is the best lightsaber duel in the history of Star Wars
0:56 we not going to mention how kenobi was twirling his lightsaber whilst walking towards maul
Thought this was so badass when I discovered it as a kid and thought I was the only one lmfao
3:07 that force speed they used at the beginning of the movie would have come in real handy there.
Still one of the best lightsaber duels of the franchise, wow
Make ya wonder why Episode 2 or 3 didsn't keep this type of action?
Greatest Lightsaber Duel in the Entire Series.
Just saw this again in theaters and this entire pre fight sequence is so damn insane by Maul. Dude was literally standing in the way of 18 armed soldiers 1 armed Queen Amidala and 2 more Queen’s guards, (also armed) PLUS to extreamly skilled Jedi. Soon as the doors opened he wanted all the smoke. Was ready to drop every single one of them to get to Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan literally daring them all to press him. This has gotta be one of the coldest scene’s in SW history. They don’t know how close they all came to death. Qui-Gon saying “We’ll handle this” saved all their lives when you really think about it.
I mean it’s by far the most important duel, it literally decided the fate of Anakin. If Maul had succeeded, he would have killed Padme, Anakin, and who knows who else.
And if Qui-Gon had won, Anakin’s fate would have been much different because Obi-Wan would not have been the mentor.
Well let's see:
Anakin was up in space and would still have destroyed the control ship
The droid army would still have been wiped out.
But Maul probably would have killed Padme and the rest of the naboo leaders.
So I guess it comes down to whether or not he Trade Federation would recover from that and come back to wipe out the Gungans (probably would).
Anakin would likely get taken prisoner and Sidious immediately takes him as an apprentice, rather than "watching his career with great interest."
Not really. According to the Darth Plageius book, Anakin force presence is felt prior to the movie begin. So Plageius wanted the boy first before the Jedi Order could get to him. He had Sidious to send Maul to find the boy. So overall, Sidious and Darth Plageius wanted the boy. The Princess would of been killed or used as wager for trade routes or something along those lines. Read Darth Plageius book it’s Sidious origin story and Ep I does come into the book! :)
@@derek96720 Exactly! Plageius wanted Sidious to get Anakin because of the special force presence that was felt in the universe.
If Qui Gon won against Maul, Anakin would never have been lost to the dark side
This came out in 1999, and it still blows every single Disney Star Wars duel out of the water.
Just wrapped up with the Ahsoka finale, and the choreography was abysmal. The combination of George Lucas, John Williams, Nick Gillard, and Ben Burtt will never be surpassed. What Disney is doing to Star Wars is infuriating. The Prequel Duels will never grow stale.
they milking the fuck out of SW
To this day I still love how Qui-gon sometimes forgoes using his lightsaber in favor of boxing. Imagine locking blades one second and the next thing you know your jaw is busted
0:53 JESUS! THE BUTTERFLY TWISTS! 🤣 holy shit Darth Maul’s actor was seriously fit and active man. Hella befitting to be the only one to wield a two-sided lightsaber
Imagine how fast you would cut your legs and arms off if you had no proper training and experience with acrobatics and double lightsaber handling. X3
Real or not, the actor for Darth Maul is a legend.
Its even cooler when you know most of the actors hadnt seen Maul until then, some of the shock is genuine hahaha
I know the prequel trilogy gets a lot of hate, but you can't deny that this is one of the best moments in Episode 1. The music is especially chilling. And the fight choreography is fantastic. Hands down, one of the best moments of the prequel trilogy.
This is why I freaking love the double blade stance in jedi survivor. It's so elegant and ferocious, quick and precise, beautiful and deadly.
the most iconic opening to a battle in all
of movie history. the opening move of the fight where obi wan leaps and spins over maul will forever be the sickest opening scene ever
The camerawork is great too, plenty of wide shots and not an excessive amount of cuts, since in this case they actually know how to fight.
Saw this in theaters yesterday, and holy hell it still hits
Was amazing first I saw on in cinema was to young to see when came out so iconic just amazing
THIS is the best saber duel Period. It was the first time we say Jedi and Sith at full Power of the old Days battleing it out. It was perfectly choreographed and had the right amount of tension. Maul vs QG & OB forever!
I love this. Their priorities change from helping the queen, to we are willing to stop protecting you, risk failing your mission to save your people, to take out this bigger threat to the galaxy.
I love how the Naboo soldiers, especially the Captain, look at Darth Maul like "Who the hell is this guy?!"
It's scary how easily he handled both of them at first.
This is my favourite all time best star wars scene. Music, fighting, Obi Wan, Republic. Awesome
In terms of pure aesthetics this was pribably one of the best lightsaber duels ever.
00:56
Such a slick looking move.
Some people don’t like this scene due to the lack of talking. But personally I think the way they fight says everything for them.
Old good Star Wars. That was nice experience seeing this movie in the cinema.
Appreciate the uncynical enthusiasm for this. That's what it's supposed to be about. When people get older they forget that the childhood-wonder aspect of these was a major part of what made these movie appealing to begin with.
Qui Gonn’s power and heart is just something we haven’t seen since TPM
Bro that entrance is the most badass boss entrance I have ever seen
Choreography was mindblowing
