guys watch sam witwer talk about the maul vs obi scene in this episode. You will get an idea of Maul's thinking in this scene

[@THEGREYGH0ST]

11:20 took his usual the stance 11:33 Then to fool Maul he took the stance of Qui Gon. Maul used the same technique he use on QuiGon but Obiwan was ready.

[@DashingDervish]

The fact that Obi-Wan baited Maul by switching to Qui Gon’s stance is 🤌

[@DarthCaedus7]

He did his young stance, to Jinn’s stance, to his Death Star stance. While all maul did was the same shit he’s always done.

[@acephas3]

Yeah, Maul literally got killed with the same move that he used to kill Qui-Gon.

[@grdoxsme]

That kind of subtleties makes me wonder how they will Depict this new Ventress back to light side and her Style, away from unrefined form 2 Dooku taught her and she refuses and pointed by master Luminara when they saberduel, and MAYBE refined and influenced by her alliance to... some Quinlan Vos namedropped on Kenobi's series maybe...?

[@WetLemon420]

@@grdoxsmeI mean Ventress should be dead because it is canon she got killed by dooku.

[@jneumy566]

I know a lot of people say this fight was underwhelming, but what makes this fight so good isn't the choreography but the subtext of it all, such as Obi-Wan baiting Maul with his stance

[@jacquesmassard9226]

Always got me that Qui-gon, Satine, and Maul all died in Obi-wan's arms

[@shortstuff780]

It's poetic as hell; Maul kill his brother; and mentor, and killed his love. Only for Obi to forgive while Maul still held onto anger and hatred using it to corrupt his mindset, while Obi with a clear and forgiving mindset.

Well shit. Now I'm sad.

[@irialefe13]

[@denis66_08]

master, love of his life and the one who killed both of them

[@LXV-e9d]

You should totally watch Sam Witwer’s breakdown of this duel. Basically Obi started off with Ewan McGregor’s Obi Wan stance because he got angry, that was the stance he used when fighting in a war. Then switched to Alec Guiness’s stance, and finally Qui Gon’s stance. Maul recognized that stance, so he tried to used the same move he used to kill Qui Gon. But Obi changed it.

[@flukemc]

It fits so well with the dialog too. Maul couldn't grow; he was always obsessed with revenge and power, and his obsession blinded him. But Obi-Wan was able to become more: "Look what I have risen above." Chills. Legit one of my favourite moments in all of Star Wars!

[@jimmygreer2140]

But did Obi change it? No he didn't. Qui-Gon was about to make that same overhead downward attack move but was too slow for the younger & whole Maul cause he was worn out after such a long duel.

[@illrated]

Ah, yes, Twin Suns. One of my all time favorite saber duels because the fight was done before the sabers clashed

[@jimmygreer2140]

And it was almost a straight up replay of Qui-Gon & Maul. But where Qui-Gon failed cause he was worn out by such a long duel....Obi wasn't & was able to make that same overhead slash that Qui-Gon was about to do before Maul could stun him and make the killing strike.

[@illrated]

@jimmygreer2140 Thanks for the recap.

[@dwrdwlsn5]

The mind is the greatest weapon, always

[@darknessunknown4384]

"He will avenge us..." Despite everything that happened between them, in the end Maul recognized that both him and Obi Wan were victims of Palpatine; and that pained look Obi Wan gave in response, made it even sadder. In the end, this fight wasn't about getting revenge on Obi Wan, it was about getting closure. But he was pursuing a fight that was over a long time ago, and ultimately the closure he got was the end of his life; but perhaps that was what he truly wanted...

[@bumfricker2487]

it's ambiguous but "us" is almost certainly a reference to Savage

[@matthewcronin2325]

The most interesting part is they weren’t both looking for Obi-Wan. Ezra was looking for “the key to destroying the Sith” and Maul was looking for obi-wan. Ezra assumed they were looking for the same thing, but he was really looking for Luke.

[@HaydenWerren]

Technically Obi-Wan is the key that would help them destroy the Sith by training Luke.

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

Ezra: "I need to see if Master Kenobi is okay." Marketa: "Why does he trust Maul?" Someone is really bad at hearing when main characters want to protect someone.

[@HaydenWerren]

I’m saying that they think Ezra doesn’t learn from his mistakes when clearly he is just a rookie Jedi and a rookie rebel. It takes time for him to grow.

[@renuzui]

​​​@@HaydenWerren Agreed. And honestly I think by now Ezra’s shown that he’s already grown tremendously (and obviously he continues to grow). But of course he is still a young kid, and he is going to make mistakes. Just like we’ve seen every other character do at his age (Ahsoka, Luke, Anakin, etc.). It’s a bit disheartening for me to hear them just complain about how “annoying” they find Ezra, without ever stopping to really think about WHY he might be motivated to do certain things. Especially because Ezra is honestly one of my favorite characters.

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

@@renuzui They're still doing it during Season 4, even saying Ezra's the reason Thrawn found the base. And Spidey's the worst at it, the two-parter with Saw was just him complaining about Ezra the entire time.

[@renuzui]

@@willfanofmanyii3751 Disappointing to hear, but I am not surprised in the least.

[@mimic1984]

Maul died for the same reason he originally got cut in half, lost to Ahsoka, and lost a brief fight to a freshly blinded Kanan, he severely underestimated his opponent and was overconfident.

[@mimic1984]

Some say the duel was underwhelming due to it being so short, when in reality it was just the end, the final 3 strikes of a 30 year long duel, possibly the longest in Star Wars history.

[@jimmygreer2140]

It was also almost a straight up replay of the fight Qui-Gon should've been able to defeat Maul with if he hadn't been so worn out & just a tick too slow from that long duel. So it was a conclusion to a few things.

[@jakohara6789]

Not even going to a bother trying to explain the beautiful poetry significance of him using Qui-Gons stance At the end there, That's about a 100 more qualified people than I will it in leave the comment anyway 😂 but yeah, incredible episode 😌👌🏻

[@Depth217]

The way Obi-Wan was calmly talking things down to Maul the whole time until Maul finally revealed that he knew he was protecting the Chosen One, and the dawning look of horror on his face until he ignited his lightsaber, “the blue light of the protector” like Eric from Blind Wave said, and THAT is the moment Obi-Wan finally decided Maul had to go. And the fact that the duel is so quick. Obi-Wan showed in their argument that he had outgrown him, watched Maul’s form changes, and used the least possible amount of energy and power needed to finish the job, showing the true mark of mastery.

[@mimic1984]

In case it wasn't obvious, Maul was mortally wounded by a slash down the torso, the show just didn't show the damage.

[@Phizzo4real]

These events are after Andor. Mon Motha official declaration you watched in earlier episode will prolly be seen from her perspective in season 2.

[@YTAG33]

Secret Cargo is a great episode. It would be kind of awesome if we get basically the same episode from her perspective in live action.

[@nolhok]

To quote someone from the internet, "Maul was expecting to find a broken old man cowering in a forgotten corner of the galaxy, but instead, he found a fully-fledged Jedi master on duty at the most important post in the galaxy. Maul never stood a chance."

[@jacquesmassard9226]

Erza is a teenager. After growing up you only look back to see how we were all like that.

[@HaydenWerren]

Yeah, the reason why adults just don’t like kid characters is because they don’t fully realise what is like to be a kid.

[@matthewcronin2325]

Ezra doesn’t trust maul…? He thinks he’s trying to kill obi-wan.

[@mrvoltar]

I think Ezra's one of those characters whose greatest strength is also his greatest weakness. Superficially he seems like an animal guy but it's not just animals. Some animals just can't get over their weird obsessions with Kenobi.

[@MadameRed69]

The Darth Maul “Kenobi” yell is top tier

[@heze2819]

I like Maul’s last words “he will avenge us” I think in his last moments after essentially being mercy killed he realized that him and Obi were two sides of the same coin, both their whole worlds destroyed, used, and discarded by Palpatine in his grand plan

[@nathaniellee5277]

Such a great episode! And as for Ezra, he’s still a kid who’s growing up who was thrust into a lot of responsibility, you gotta give him the benefit of the doubt

[@dsg173]

Shoutout to Sam Witwer for his incredible performance.

[@mimic1984]

I genuinely believe Maul knew it was gonna be either him or Obi-Wan that survived. Either way, he wanted it to be over.

[@Snarkknight5]

That's what actual mastery looks like - not a banging, clashing, useless volley of blows, but a swift, sure strike to end the enemy. Exactly as much effort as is needed to overcome, nothing less, nothing more.

[@mimic1984]

Maul might've been a murderous, vengeful, hate driven, power hungry warrior, but I'm glad he wasn't alone when he died, and in the comforting arms of his most hated rival aside from Sidious.

[@Jeddxh]

The amount of times we’ve seen Maul vs Kenobi and it being an epic long lightsaber duel have been amazing but this shows the evolution of their characters. Imo Kenobi has evolved well past the Jedi master he was during the CW while Maul festered in his anger and hate and held onto everything from the past which never led him to adapt or evolve his ways. Seeing Qui-Gons stance again was a cool gift to us fans.

[@SpeedyCat19]

I gotta say, their attitude towards Ezra kinda bothers me. I swear they mock everything he says lol

[@renuzui]

Same. Ezra is honestly one of my favorite characters. He reminds me a lot of Luke, too. But all they did was complain about him this episode without really giving him the benefit of the doubt. It was kinda disheartening, in my opinion. Not to mention, Ezra has already said a few times now that he *_doesn’t_* trust Maul. He hasn’t since what happened on Malachor. And I don’t think it’s really fair to blame him for so much when a lot of the time Maul is forcing or tricking Ezra to help him. And this time was obviously the latter. Maul simply took advantage of Ezra’s desire to do good and help someone.

[@kalebdiaz1671]

I think they r hating on Ezra to hard this episode lol

[@SpeedyCat19]

Yeah they hate Ezra

[@HaydenWerren]

What for? I get he makes dumb decisions but sometimes for the right reasons

[@renuzui]

Yeah, I agree. I was pretty excited to watch this reaction because this happens to be one of my favorite episodes of rebels, but their complaints about Ezra were a bit much. It killed my enjoyment of the video. Like, sure, Ezra makes mistakes but he is still a kid. And I feel they don’t stop to really think about his reasoning or motivations either. Kinda disheartening cause Ezra is honestly one of my favorite characters.

[@rafaelvolpiteixeira7315]

It really shows how much Obi-Wan grew as a Jedi during his exile by the way he held Maul in his last moments, the same way Obi-Wan held Qui Gon and Satine.

What's great about that fight was it was all won and lost in the pre-fight setup. Obi drew him in by using Qui-Gon's stance, causing Maul to attack him with the same move he used to kill Qui.

[@dungeonmaster16]

Mend old wounds if I’m correct is a reference to the legends comic where maul survived, jump to around this time and found luke, obi wan intervened and fought him.

[@theeLonelyRedPanda]

It's also uncle owen who unalived maul via a shot in the back. (Spoilers)

[@lamborghinimercy5737]

I just realized when Obi-Wan is saying a new hope will emerge, he didn’t even believe that himself at first probably.

[@mimic1984]

If you pay attention, Obi-Wan went for his classic Lightsaber form/stance, but then switched it to Qui-Gon Jinn's form, causing Maul to be taken slightly aback. I believe he tricked Maul into attempting to kill him the same way he killed his master, and countered it by slicing the saber staff hilt in half before it could hit him while also landing the finishing blow on Maul. This was a battle of the minds as much as it it was a battle with lightsabers.

[@evanmagura2296]

The body language of the duel tells such a great story. kenobi ‘s first stance being the one he used against Grievous. But switching it because he’s no longer a fighter like he was in the Clone Wars. Him switching to Qui-Gon’s stance to bait Maul. Maul attempting to use the move he used on Qui Gon, but Kenobi blocking it. 🤌🏼

[@YoungTalents_]

Yall be hating way too hard on Ezra lol

[@HaydenWerren]

Yeah. Did they forget that Ezra has been through in the last two season which makes him a bit reckless but eventually develops more as a character.

[@renuzui]

​@@HaydenWerren Yeah. Ezra reminds me a lot of Luke for those reasons. Probably why they both happen to be two of my favorite characters as well. Was pretty disappointed that all they did was rag on him the whole episode.

[@YoungTalents_]

@@HaydenWerren yea for real. Feels like they watching a different show at times. By the end of the series they’ll like him but they be trippin some times lol

[@grayowl7581]

What’s brilliant about this fight is that Obiwan defeated Maul by baiting him. He went into Qui Gon’s lightsaber stance so Maul would try to kill him with the same move he used to kill Qui Gon (bash in the face with the hilt, then ran him through). The only difference is that Obi Wan cut vertically. Maul was consumed by hate. He never grew or changed or learned and in the end that inability to do so lead to him dying at the hands of someone who had.

[@mathies3598]

obi Wan tricked him with Qui gons stance - Maul recognized the way Obi wan held his saber as the same way Qui Gon did when he killed him and decided, "I can kill Obi Wan the same way" but Obi wan was already one step ahead and knew how to counter it

[@Phizzo4real]

You guys should see the in-studio recording of this. It is ridiculous and show some level of voice acting at the level of Andy Serkis.

[@The_Greg_5000]

I loved the short duel. A long fight always means the two opponents are roughly on the same level. Obi Wan and Maul are definitely not on the same level at this point. Obi Wan is more enlightened and in tune with the Force than ever and Maul is blinded by revenge, it was clear we would not last long.

Honestly, this is my favorite lightsaber duel in all of Star Wars. The build up, the symbolism, the history between these two. All culminates here. And like every great duels in Star Wars, it's not about the fight but what the fight represents for the characters involved.

[@abthedragon4921]

OMG we've reached Twin Sons! The Obi-Wan vs Maul scene (not just the duel but the dialogue before that) is so awesome! I especially like how Obi-Wan says "if you define yourself by your ability to take life, your desire to dominate, to possess, then you have nothing." Like, he sees right through Maul; both of these men have endured great pain and loss but Obi-Wan found new meaning in his life while Maul continued to be obsessed with vengeance and it hindered his strength. Yeah, I know they're also polar opposite sides of the Force but you get the point. And then that duel demonstrates one of Obi-Wan's greatest strengths, learning from one's mistakes. He lured in Maul by using his master Qui-Gon's stance, calculated the moves Maul would utilize and then adapts perfectly to strike the killing blow! There's so much more to go into but better people than me can explain it thoroughly.

[@mimic1984]

Sam Witwer KILLED IT as Maul! (As for usual) There was so much hate and pain in his "KENOOOBIIIIIII!" Yell. He's voiced so many people in this franchise and all of them are nothing short of art, but his performance as Maul is my absolute favorite. ❤️ 🖤 💜

[@Remus0387]

This episode was short and sweet, focusing primarily on Ezra's quest to Tattooine to find Obi-Wan Kenobi and recruit him to the Rebellion. As well as stopping Maul who also comes to the planet to have his final confrontation with the Jedi who has so defined his life. Hera and the rest of the crew are against Ezra going off on his own to find Kenobi, very likely a trap by Maul. As well as they need his knowledge in planning their assault on Lothal. Of course Ezra is going to act first and think second, commandeers an A-Wing and takes off for the Twin Suns. Chopper shows up as a stowaway and they make arrival to Tattooine. This goes as well as expected as they set upon by Tusken Raiders and who wind up destroying their ship, leading both Ezra & Chop to flee into the desert. Maul cuts the Tusken's celebration short as well as their lives and continues to follow Ezra knowing that he will lead him to Kenobi. Ezra braves the Dune Sea with Chopper reluctantly following him. They both nearly kark it with Chop's power drained and Ezra's passing out after fighting with his visions of Maul. Ezra wakes at nightfall seeing Chop restored and him at the camp-site of the legendary Jedi himself, Obi-Wan now old and wise. Ezra tries to recruit him to the Rebellion but Kenobi says he already has what he needs to fight the empire and to defeat the Sith. Obi-Wan has a his own path to follow, but Ezra says the Holocron lead him to you. Kenobi tells him it was Maul who led you to me, using your desire to do good as a Beacon to locate him. Maul makes his arrival known as he approaches the camp. Obi-Wan tells Ezra to go, but Ezra wants to make up for his mistake. Obi-Wan says Maul is not his responsibility but his, an old wound that must finally be healed. Both of these men meet again for the first time since the Clone Wars. Both have lost everything they once held dear, one has survived on hope the other on revenge. Obi-Wan says Maul's rage and hatred has left him with nothing, while he counters with what do you have left. Maul still as crafty as ever, deduces that it's not mere survival that drives Kenobi but a desire to protect someone. He will find them after finally killing him. Which leads to a epic showdown between the old Jedi Master and ex-Sith Lord. Obi-Wan shows off his past lightsaber stances before adopting his master Qui-Gon's stance. This long awaited rematch begins and is ended quickly with Maul felled after a few strikes between them. Obi-Wan holds the dying Maul in his arms, Obi-Wan does him kindness by telling him that the chosen one will avenge all who were victims of the Sith. For the first time in a very long time, the Dathomirian Darksider finds peace as he dies in his rival's arms. Ezra returns to Chopper Base aboard Maul's ship and tells the Ghost crew that Maul won't be a problem anymore. He tells them that they are his family and is sorry he didn't see it sooner. He is ready to go home and they set about their mission to Lothal. Back on Tatooine, Obi-Wan Kenobi watches over his charge, the young Luke Skywalker and his potential future. It was a very satisfying episode for the crew, finally Ezra overcoming his uncertainty and fear and knowing where he belongs. A fine conclusion to Maul's story, tragic but poetic. A wonderful performance by Sam Witwer giving depth and nuance to one of the most intriguing characters in Star Wars. Thanks guys for the reaction and I will catch you at the finale, peace

Last but not least, fun fact not a spoiler anymore, Obi-Wan gave Maul's corpse a Funeral by Fire like a Jedi to Honor him... Despite Sabine and Qui-Gon's death... So no more respawns this time

The same VA for Kenobi also voices Tarkin

Always felt sad for maul, especially after learning his backstory in the canon son of dathamir comic. Kidnapped at a young age from his mother and raised by palpatine in a environment of nothing but hate. From the beginning nothing but a tool until he was cast aside. Even free from palpatine he knows nothing else but what he was taught to be. I wished in his last moments he'll let go of his hate and actually die helping the rebellion.

#sundayrundown Love this episode! The final fight gets analyzed by a lot of people, but it's always cool to point out a few minor details which make this fight so cool. When it begins, Obi-Wan takes his fighting stance with his fingers pointed at Maul, the same stance he used to defeat him initially. When he changes his form and takes the lightsaber in two hands, he is mimicking Qui-Gon's stance; the stance Qui-Gon used when he was killed by Maul. So when he switches, it baits Maul and makes him angry, thinking he will use the exact same move he used to defeat Qui-Gon. What he doesn't know is that Obi-Wan is now a Master Jedi, not some hermit withering away in the desert; Obi-Wan knows how to easily block the move that killed his old Master and defeats Maul in seconds.
