It also kind of justifies why Vader was fighting very cautiously against him in A New Hope
Rogue One scene with Vader slicing everyone up in the hallway gets my vote
Just wiser/better at lightsaber combat. Drew him in with Qui-Gon's old stance to get Maul to try the same hilt-strike-to-stab combo that killed his master, then sliced right through the middle of the saber. GG.How did ancient-ass Obi-Wan take down Maul? Was Maul already dying or something?
I read in the video's comment section, that Maul tried the same move he used on Qui-Gon, and Obi-Wan read him like a book basically.How did ancient-ass Obi-Wan take down Maul? Was Maul already dying or something?
It wasn't about survival, though; Maul was never a threat to Obi-Wan. He wasn't even gonna draw his saber until Maul hinted at the reason for Obi-Wan being there.The trench run has not been topped for me.
Also that scene in the OP had no tension for me at all since it was obvious Obi-Wan was gonna survive.

I think the scene is effective... but I think it's a little weird when someone's favorite moment in all the moments is the one where the space Nazi slaughters the good guys.Rogue One scene with Vader slicing everyone up in the hallway gets my vote
I do wish more Star Wars lightsaber scenes had this kind of "less is more" philosophy instead of endless twirling.
yep
It's cool to see Vader in action, that's all. You don't really get to see him fight much in the OT, for as fearsome as his reputation is.I think the scene is effective... but I think it's a little weird when someone's favorite moment in all the moments is the one where the space Nazi slaughters the good guys.
This is the best part about that scene. Maul uses the exact same move that he used to kill Qui-Gon, only Obi was ready for it.Just wiser/better at lightsaber combat.

Unless the Obi-Wan show on Disney+ goes on to retcon it, this is their canon final duel. Or if they literally recreate this last moment, but that would be awkward since there's a whole exchange between Rebels' main character that occurs immediately before this as Maul arrives.

I had forgotten that one. That's a good moment. But this is probably my favorite (also maul!) :
Rey taking up her father's lightsaber does it for me. RJ subversion be damned.
You know I'm right. The framing, the back and forth, the elegance of the duel, the aftermath. It's pure perfection.
The most realistic would be Maul accidentally cutting off a limb with his ridiculous double sided saber and Obiwan turns his off.It's the most realstic example of a lightsaber fight. You basically get one shot, someone is going to die. No twenty minute fights.
