Obi Wan was trying to avoid the fight entirely, until Maul threatened Luke. Even after Maul got utterly clowned, Obi Wan tried to console him as Maul shuffled off this mortal coil. He was every bit the Jedi master we’d always heard of, but never really saw.

Maul, stuck in the past, is easily duped into thinking he can use the exact same move he killed Qui-Gon with. Man it’s just so good.

I'm not sure I'd want every lightsaber fight to be a Sanjuro-style "two flashing cuts and it's over" event, but it certainly worked for Twin Suns.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I'm not sure I'd want every lightsaber fight to be a Sanjuro-style "two flashing cuts and it's over" event, but it certainly worked for Twin Suns. It wouldn't work for every fight because there's a lot more going on between Maul and Obi-Wan than just clashing sabers. It's a clash of symbols, of how far each of them has journeyed towards opposite ends of morality, only to meet once more at what is simultaneously the end and beginning of all things that have shaped and will shape the galaxy. Like, Obi-Wan baiting Maul into using the strike he killed Qui-Gon with by shifting his stance is great, and that's just surface level stuff; it's crazy satisfying for fans. The whole thing is an insane pinnacle characterization moment that's 100% effective because of just how much history and knowledge fuels the underbelly of it. There's almost no other duel that matches that kind of narrative weightiness imo. [edit] vvv I can't relate to anyone who would willingly dismiss one of the greatest character moments in any kind of story. Imagine not being able to appreciate what makes the Twin Suns duel so good...like, gently caress man lol. I wish those people could see it the way I do. Shame. teagone fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Aug 17, 2019 |

There are many people that think the Twin Suns duel is shity and unsatisfying. But I mean, of course they do, they're Star Wars fans.

it's quite good (the Rebels Kenobi/Maul duel) but the animation of the movement isn't quite good enough for me to count it as one of the best fights. hopefully the Ray Park mo-cap for the new Clone Wars show will result in some more interesting CG choreography.

It holds up very well. I think a big part of it is the camerawork. There’s no shaky-cam or frenetic cuts/editing, so you actually get to see the actors doing all the cool moves. Really helps that Ewan McGregor was able to perform to such a high degree.

IIRC the first season-ish of Clone Wars is kind of hit or miss. The episodes are also not in chronological order, so when you think “this guy died in an earlier episode!” you’re probably not wrong

Ahsoka kicks so much rear end in Rebels and Clone Wars; she's easily one of the best characters in the whole saga imo. Her arc across both series carries so much impact and ends in a way that is genuinely and wholly affecting. She's a little grating until her costume change, which doesn't happen until season 3 episode 10, so it's a bit of a wait to get really invested in her character I think, but her story is worth it. I also think most will agree that, in general, when Ahsoka dons her new look, that's the moment when the series steps up its game and gets really, really good. [edit] Checked to make sure, and I was right about which episode it was where Ahsoka gets her new look. teagone fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Aug 24, 2019 |
