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

I think this duel was arguably the most important in bringing Star Wars back to life. The ferocity and intensity of the duel gave you that sense of struggle of the comfortable Jedi and rising Sith

[jotheunissen]

Gotta give it to Maul
Killing Liam Neeson is VERY difficult

[EAWanderer]

0:05 - YES I absolutely 100% agree with you! Arguably, THE BEST dual in Star Wars ever created!

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.

I'm so glad you posted this today because I legit just watched this film again in the cinema today! Maul was a freaking beast in this fight.

[harmonicshredder]

a time, when lightsabers were actually dangerous and killed people.

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).

I’m so happy you’re still making videos!

[theeducatedfool]

It’s always funny how prequel-era lightsaber fights feel like video game bosses with these play by plays.

[mrgangrdon]

Your channel is quality.. i love that music you put in the backround of your videos it goes so well with your videos

[adventurianist]

Just imagine hearing Qui-Gon saying: "I don't know you, but I will find you and I will kill you."

[tristanchriesmon]

My absolute favorite duel the music, the choreography the tone that this set and how how the stakes where .... amazing

[truegamer]

i dont care what anyone says that beam door that held Obi in place saved Maul's life, cause if maul kept that triple engagement on, he would''ve lost his life during the double duos with obi and Qui

[EAWanderer]

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.

[silentalliance]

Great content as always!! There was one you could say prop failure and that was the ray shield emitters were exposed components & could’ve been smashed quite easily using a saber ….. what’s that fight again and you’ll see what I mean when Qui-Gon is meditating and Obi-Wan is caught you can see the race shield emitters are exposed and could quite easily have been eliminated.

[reckszkingzactivitiesrkat.]

Another good StarWars break down once again from Stupendous Wave 🔥

[sakran]

This channel is so much better than Star Wars theory that dude got goofy and super cocky.

[jeffreyherndon]

I’ve noticed that Qui-gon uses Force Push with his hand out and palm down while Obi-wan on Mustafar used it palm out facing Anakin.

Watching Ep.1 was hit or miss with the good & bad parts.
So many talk about the annoying Jar Jar or the boring Trade Federation.
That was bad but after seeing the movie many times I just recall this great lightsaber duel & how cool these characters are.
Qui-Gon & Darth Maul made a more lasting impression than the silly forgettable characters.
