Ahsoka Tano vs Maul [4K HDR] - Star Wars: The Clone Wars

[@brainrot8802]

"Your vision is flawed" the complete faith she has is Anakin is heartbreaking

[@fellowpassenger_54-67]

Yeah, it’s so tragic since her getting blinded by her immense trust in Anakin is what allowed Palps’ plan to work, she probably really regrets not listening to Maul and not trying to come up with a compromise that benefits him and herself to stop Palps, the prequel era as a whole is a tragedy, and I love how Clone Wars’ final arc shows this theme very well

[@MechaSalesman]

That was one of the great strengths of this arc... someone so well intended could still be so wrong. And yet, I feel like if she took the time to reach out to Anakin, if she just talked with him, maybe he could've persuaded him to act differently. It's tragic on so many levels.

So many things about the Clone Wars in this ONE battle: Maul went from this enforcer for Palpatine into a Shakespearian villain, with these prophetic monologues, going from poised and calculated, to seething, to rabid and panicking within mere moments. This is (IIRC) the ONLY time in the Clone Wars series where they used MoCap for a fight scene, they wanted this to be the big crescendo for the series and it delivered. "He is the key to everything." Ahsoka hears all of Maul's case, and knowing how little Maul has to lose, probably believes him to an extent, however she can't let him kill Anakin like that. All of this has become Ahsoka's true arc. Her path to becoming a true Jedi, not blinded by Dogmatic doctrine, not leashed by the Republic's corruption. Fighting for what she believes to be right, just, and compassionate. GOD this series is so good

How can you even say that?!?! It’s not even top 5!!!! This isn’t a bad fight but certainly the most overrated scene I’ve ever witnessed. I mean it’s the last dual in the clone wars… it should have been longer, a tad more dramatic and with 2 great characters. Disney’s aim should be to conduct the best dual in all of Star Wars, with their money and what they’ve made so far, it’s embarrassing they can’t even create something more. The best dual is Anakin vs Obi wan because of who it is, why they’re fighting and for how long it was. Also… the MUSIC in the fight was fucking insane where you also had yoga and palpatine fighting at the same time. And people think this 2 minute fight is amazing?

[@MechaSalesman]

Truly one of the best pieces of the franchise.

[@meme8430]

I still believe this is the best fight. The tension is unbiased and genuine. Both have goals to support their own side, but on their own terms. One of the reasons Ahsoka agreed to work with Maul outside of just weaning information from him about Anakin. Not sure if Ahsoka would’ve truly followed through to help Maul, but knowing her enough if she agreed initially it would’ve been followed through.

[@fellowpassenger_54-67]

I loved how they made Ahsoka really hear Maul’s side of it for a bit like that, I was genuinely shocked when she agreed to help him, since all I was expecting was for her to constantly deny him and try to fight him immediately But than as soon as he mentions Anakin, Ahsoka stops believing him due to her faith and trust in Anakin which ironically is a big factor in what allowed Palpatine’s plan to work uninterrupted, it’s so tragic that she thinks she’s doing the right thing by trusting Anakin when in reality Anakin was really getting groomed by Palps but Ahsoka’s trust for him blinded her to that possibility, this being so tragic is pretty cool since it takes place at the same time as revenge of the sith and both of them have that main theme of tragedy to them, it’s like poetry everything rhymes together I love how committed and passionate Filoni and his team were to Clone Wars’ final arc, it’s my favorite Clone Wars arc and it’s on my top 5 favorite Star wars things ever, bad batch was really disappointing so it’ll be a while before we get quality like this in a star wars animated series again

Best duel in the entire Clone Wars series, with it's motion capture giving it such a real flow, and the emotion of knowing what and who they're fighting for.

In the end, Ahsoka wins the same way Obi-Wan was almost simultaneously beating Anakin, realizing they can't win, so they force them into being aggressive and making a mistake. And it ends with one of the scariest villains in the whole series yelling out in terror of what's to come. Phenomenal. Simply phenomenal

You can hear a tiny bit of Anakin's Dark Deeds during the fight

[@cirrusB612]

I just realized something about Darth Maul. Despite the fact that he's only spoken of Anakin in the final episodes of the Clone Wars, Darth Maul himself--especially what they did to him in the Clone Wars series--is a testament to Anakin's powers as a lightsaber-wielding Force user. Maul's lightsaber form is the most aggressive kind, his hatred and fortitude know no bounds, and he was able to survive being cut in half, able to keep himself alive on a trash planet, make himself a body using just the Force, with little to no sleep for years. And that's the condensed version of it. Maul is EXTREMELY powerful in fighting, the Force, strategy, initial rage and hatred towards almost anything. I wonder sometimes how much he could be underestimated even by the viewers. Maul could have been Sidious' perfect apprentice, a Sith unlike any other. The fact that Darth Sidious, the dark emperor of the galaxy, abandoned Maul in favor of corrupting Anakin must mean that Anakin's potential prowess is greater than every single feat of strength (be it with the Force or with a lightsaber) that Maul had accomplished in his lifetime. Think about that.

Maul was unbalanced in this duel. I do believe Ahsoka's skill deserves credit here, but don't ignore the fact that Maul spends this entire arc acting like an obsessed abused child who has been abandoned by his parent and his lashing out because of it. That emotional instability leaves him vulnerable. It's actually a brilliant take on the character and one of the most surprising things about the Siege of Mandalore and a key reason why I love the finale so much.

[@mistuhhlee]

Also, I think it’s important to realize that Maul still wanted to recruit Ahsoka all the way till the end of the battle. If that was the case, then obviously Maul wouldn’t want to kill her. Sure, at the end, when he give her his ‘last chance’ he finally gave up and decided to actually try (but he was arrogant and still lost). If Maul had this same attitude for the majority of the battle, then maybe he would’ve won.

[@MechaSalesman]

@@mistuhhlee Agreed. There are many layers to not only this duel, but most duels in general. Skill alone is only one factor that determines victory.

The Mandalore portion of season 7 was some of the best writing in Star Wars history. The ties into episode 3 was phenomenal

Why didn’t maul just cut the beam and let Ahsoka fall. But in reality, this is the greatest show ever

[@WZspacecowboy7]

He saw potential in her its literally like trynna to tell a young persons they still have some growing up to do

[@tyler_bt3326]

He’s not trying to kill her, he wants her on his side. If he has to kill her he will, but that’s not the goal here

[@skillger7654]

She could sense it and jump back. He wanted to be sure and cut her down.

No longer a Jedi Padawan and a Sith Lord, truly a Duel of the Fates.

[@abbsolute5758]

The sad part is Maul didn’t even want to fight her at all. She had nothing to do with what he wanted. But he figured she could help since she’s there lmao I feel like maul and savage vs anakin and kenobi would have been better tho….

[@telonoton9966]

Can you please reupload or something? The audio quality gets worse at the second half of the fight for whatever reason

[@Jakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

The good Old days…

This blew ma fuckin mind when I saw it. The choreography, the detail the voice acting the dialogue. It all just comes together so perfectly. The Initial fight and when the clones move in to check if Ahsoka is dead, I could swear it was real actors not mo-cap. Why the fuck Dave didn't get put in charge of the sequel trilogy I'll never know
