Darth Maul vs Obi-Wan Kenobi | LIVE ACTION ADAPTATION | Star Wars Rebels

[@rjserr]

Mauls immediate reaction after being cut by kenobi was really well done

[@EmaxFilms]

Thank you! Kevin did an amazing job!

[@danielblair4413]

Where was Darth Maul even cut? He should've been cut in half vertically by that blow that Obi-Wan gave him and wouldn't even have been able to speak because he would've died instantly.

[@SebastianOsborn]

@@danielblair4413 Yes, but then you get a PG-13 Clone Wars episode and it would have taken away from the emotion of the scene. I admit, they probably could have shown at least a little damage, but it is what it is.

[@Rebel94122]

Are you serious? This is the most unexpressive version of maul that I've seen?

[@connorredshaw5650]

​@@danielblair4413 Obiwans blade slashed him across the chest

[@randomperson-11]

Old Ben's looking good for his age.

[@EmaxFilms]

He definitely is

[@jonmills6927]

Although his eyes have gotten a little squinty from being out in that desert sun all day long.

[@shawnkeating3820]

You omitted a key component- Kenobi used three stances- his classic overhead, then a forward position, then followed by the side stance, which lured Maul in. Each stance had significance for Kenobi.

[@p.kinkor8977]

I noticed that. Still, well done considering…..

[@Vincent.45]

Mauls voicework is amazing, his cadence and mannerisms are pretty much exactly how he sounds in the show, and this was my favorite scene EVER in the show you guys nailed it!

[@EmaxFilms]

Cheers! Kevin (Maul actor) absolutely killed it! I'm glad we were able to meet your expectations.

[@deathinside8203]

[@Gasssolo]

Great costumes and lighting, the acting was nice as well! Perhaps Maul's finishing move could have been better, as it clearly had no chance of connecting.

[@EmaxFilms]

Thank you so much! To be fair... in the animation not sure what Maul was doing either haha

[@Gasssolo]

@@EmaxFilms it was supposed to be the same as what he used on Qui-Gon, as Obi baited him with the same stance, but he countered the move as Maul was predictable.

[@EmaxFilms]

@@Gasssolo Gotcha! Thanks for the detailed breakdown!

[@mythicproductions9154]

Good work! You guys did great! This is one of those productions where I don't think it really matters you couldn't get a perfect costume for both characters. The effort shows. The dedication shows. The acting skill shows. These are way more important than some clothing and face masks. I am going to sub!

[@EmaxFilms]

Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed comment, I really appreciate all of the kind words. I am totally in agreement with you, that was what we wanted to showcase and I'm glad it was able to shine through. Thanks a ton!

[@Aprjtosbricnsgflr]

1:27 you missed a major part here, he’s supposed to go from his usual pointing stance to his ‘Ben kenobi’ stance, then finally to qui gons stance. This part really highlights that he’s a Jedi MASTER, not just some random Jedi

[@disneyboy3030]

I do think it should've started with a night desert shot with the camera moving back before cutting to shots of Darth Maul and Obi Wan facing each other before the former speaks. But otherwise this was a great recreation. I love it.

[@anthonyvargas7564]

Wow, I never noticed that obiwan bests maul with 3 of the most basic shii-cho maneuvers. I wonder if that also means that he has been teaching training from the order to others behind the scenes leading up to this iconic scene. Well done!

[@EmaxFilms]

Haha yep! Appreciate it!

[@Sailor-Man-Dave]

Aside from the total lack of facial similarity between this Obi-Wan and every other one, this was perfect, down to the slightest move.

[@EmaxFilms]

Thank you! The facial similarity wasn't something I was looking to replicate

[@ABoyCalledThomas]

Great costumes and lighting, great cinematography and great acting! That ending strike from Obi Wan was so intense! Loved it! This is an absolute gem. The only thing that pulled me away was that Maul looked a bit childish... I don't know why but I had the feeling that a teen was playing Maul. I'm not trying to mean but Maul looked way too young.

- "So you're saying that Darth Maul can build his criminal empire in the shadows and be a third party to a conflict in a civil war?" - "No, he would find Kenobi and die in his arms from three unsuccessful blows because he had been walking in the desert for a long time and was dead tired" - "Oh, wait, then what was the point of reviving him after his first death if he just died in the end without doing anything for the plot?"

[@meowfacemcgee]

This looks and sounds amazing guys, though I do have one little comment: In Maul's final strike he goes for the hilt bash as seen against Qui Gon in The Phantom Menace, whereas in your choreography it looks like he's just presenting the lightsabre hilt to be struck. He's much too far away to have been initiating an attack. This could be solved either with angle tricks or tighter spacing. Other than that I loved what you did with the scene, it's one of the deepest duels in Star Wars.

[@eric_moore-6126]

I feel like you missed a lot of the point of the last blow. Maul was attempting the same headbutt that he did to Qui-Gon, but you made it look like he was trying to block a lightsaber blade with his hilt.

This was a powerful, emotional, scene in animation. Thank you for showing it to us in live action. Is it wrong, that I want Disney to film this, with Ewan McGregor, and Ray Park? Just get them together, set up the volume, and go. Don’t even tell us they’ve done it. Just film it, and then release it one day at D23, or ComiCon, etc. No sneak peeks, no preamble. Just drop it, as a wonderful surprise for the fans. Cheers,

[@EmaxFilms]

Of course, it was our pleasure making this, glad you enjoyed. An official one with the original actors would be crazy! But it's Disney so I doubt it would ever happen...
