Maul harbored too much hate for Kenobi to have joined him regardless. Though had this been the case, the rebellion never would have won against the Empire. Palpy walked Maul already and unless Maul was to become fully redeemed and committed to the light they way Luke was, Palps would've just gotten into Mauls head. Then Kenobi and Maul would've fought in front of Palps and while I would forsee Maul losing, Palpy would've definitely helped Maul succeed as Palps would've handled Maul easier than Kenobi. Then no one would be left to train Luke and set him on the path towards Yoda.

[@SqueezeLift]

@@ethanbrown2019 Obiwan is the negotiator for a reason. Bad writing. He definitely could’ve convinced Maul that it was in their best interest to take down Palpatine together. Makes no sense why he didn’t. The only person Maul hates just as much or more than Kenobi is palpatine

The edit is cool in it's own right, but it clashes with what the tone of the scene was.

What a beautiful edit, spot on. All the refernces to what Obi-Wan might have been thinking. Obi Wan luring Maul into thinking he can kill him with the same move as he did Qui-Gon, even the choice of music was masterful. Maul's Death always kinda put a tear in my eyes. Since I've known his background and story I see him as a tragic antagonist, merely used, manipulated and discarded by Sidious. In the end, Maul had nothing but his anger. Sidious took his innocence and childhood, Obi-Wan took his opportunity to become a full sith lord (and his legs), then Sidious (again) took his brother and his last hope of "reedeming" himself in the eyes of his master, and finally Ahsoka took his legacy. Ironically, the person he makes responsible for all of this, Obi-Wan, is the one to give him peace.

[@Chaplinandlock7462]

If anyone wants to know, the reason, the clone wars and the Star Wars rebels blades are very thin is because apparently in the design team they wanted to show that this isn’t a big bulky bat and it is a blade so it’s actually just the thin side of the light saber apparently that is also why it is shown to have a very pointy tip at the top of the light saber

[@stephenlow1841]

Great effects work! Flashback-wise, you may also want to put a shot of Maul killing Obi-Wan's love, Satine, in The Clone Wars, as that probably still wrangled in his mind every bit as much as Qui-Gon's death.

Did you know the original script written by George Lucas for a new hope was never used. The entire cast and production crew told him how bad it was and helped him rewrite the entire movie. Sometimes change is good and the thick sabers were a good change.
