When you slow down the fight in the acolyte. It's flashey, yes. But they're waiting (while he's completely open) until he's turned to them before they attack. When you look at the duel of fates you don't see that. That's why it's so epic😊

[@DarkSide_Gaming21338]

That or they over swing and just don’t even try to hit the other person. It looks good cause it’s fast and flashy but that’s about it has going for it if you don’t slow it down and take a deeper look like you said.

[@lockedongamingak]

Except with most Hollywood melee fights, that is usually the case, with some rare exceptions. Fights are meant to be entertaining, not necessarily realistic. Even in Duel of the Fates, there are a lot of openings that would result in a kill if it were taken because the moves are overly flashy. Slowing down a fight to analyze it is fine, but nitpicking it because it's not 100% accurate is illogical, because it's not meant to be.

[@DarkSide_Gaming21338]

@@lockedongamingak the difference is there is a good amount of time it actually looks like they are in danger if they don’t block, dodge and such. Here it just looks like people running around swinging blades that doesn’t even mean to hit the person. You can have good fights with some flash that actually look/feel like a fight.

[@lockedongamingak]

@@DarkSide_Gaming21338 that's why the fights are filmed at a certain speed. When you slow it down, even good fights have a lot of the same openings you point out. That's the point I'm making when you intentional slow things down to analyze a fight in a way it wasn't meant to be viewed. It's like lifting the curtain on a magic show to see how the trick is actually done, even the "scary" ones.

[@DarkSide_Gaming21338]

@@lockedongamingak you don’t really even have to slow it down to see it though it’s pretty obvious… it’s even more obvious if you know what to look for. Another reason I wouldn’t call this a good fight scene for a lightsaber fight is distant. A lot of times the characters are at a distance from eachother which makes them over swinging or swinging for the blade more obvious. The reason it isn’t as bad in the prequel lightsaber fights is because they aren’t a blade distance from each other so it’s a lot harder to notice the smaller details. The best duel by far though is Anakin vs obi wan cause they have flash but also practically and interesting moves which while not being true swordsmanship could be seen as functional for a movie fight. This is where the acolyte just fails in my opinion. It’s better than sequel fights but not anywhere close to as good as the prequels.

[@mikemelara9591]

Disney would mess it up…. Maul vs kenobi/qui-gon was the best choreography

[@goatkiller666]

One of the comics included a conversation in the Jedi temple between Obi-Wan and… someone else. They’re standing on a balcony. Below them is a fight simulator thing, and the young Anakin is down there. He’d programmed the simulation to include Maul. He’d gotten as much info from Obi-Wan as he could, to make the simulation as true to life as possible. Anakin knows exactly how to defeat Maul. That said, even Asokha defeated Maul head to head. As a fan of good fight choreography, I would drown puppies to see that fight. But in story terms, Anakin would absolutely win. In the 80s, when I was a kid, I got all the Rogue Squadron books, plus many others that came out around then. This was before the character of Maul was even invented. But Vader decided at one point that the Red Dawn (whatever Maul’s criminal org was) needed to fall. That was like 50yrs ago, so some of the details are lost to me. But since Maul is alone when he interacts with the crew of the Ghost, I’m guessing Vader has finished that by the time Maul meets Ezra. The way stories work, presumably Vader is winning, even though Maul is on his home turf. At some point, Maul triggers… some hidden gizmo to escape. I just think that Mauls death at Obi-WAN’s hands is too perfect, narratively, to let Maul die any other way. I’ve seen a couple interviews of Sam Witwer, where go goes that fight step by step, describes what each one is thinking. It’s just… poetry in motion. ETA, and then you go and talk about exactly that scene. Well played.

[@johnowens7596]

I agree the anguish in his face was perfectly persuade in his face . The fight between Anikin and obituary won was so sad and emotional my favorite starwars and I'm 48 yearsold

I mean, I know this is a stretch, but Disney can always cast those two characters, and basically just have a scene, not included in a movie or episode, but just like a short story. They can have Anakin fall asleep, into a deep sleep where he's dreaming, and in this dream, he can basically fight maul and we can get what we want. then he can awake from his sleep after and maybe forget the dream or keep it to himself. that way it won't change the cannon or legends lore

The nightsisters ressurect other sisters and then all the nightsisters may ressurect the son of dathomir Maul. and then later there is a fight between Ahsoka and Maul but this time Maul is too strong.

There is a reason Lucas considered the EU apocryphal : Some silly shtuff that would have fundamentally changed canon. Disney's group of mental midgets, however, love to plagiarize from Legends because they don't care about pre-Disney canon and they can pat themselves on the back for "creating" new stories, plot devices and characters by dipping in to that vast pool of Disney owned content without giving credit.
