Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Darth Maul, or better known as the "Duel of the Fates" lightsaber battle, cut down into a single cohesive scene here and shown in 4K HDR.
A 4K HDR sample from my Extended Star Wars Episode I Cut, simply titled "The Phantom Menace - Extended Edition". As of today, both cuts have now been updated to a new 2.0 version, featuring several minor tweaks in audio, updates to the HDR color timing (especially for Episode I), tweaks to transitions, and brand new A.I. upscales of many of the deleted scenes. A total of 7 deleted scenes have been restored in the film.
Note: The trimmed down version of the duel of the fates battle is only for the youtube upload. The version scene in the film cut itself won't be intercut in this same way.
Both of my Extended Episode I and II cuts are available in both 4K HDR and 1080p SDR, along with my other edits like the 4.5 hour Revenge of the Sith - The Siege of Mandaore Supercut the, Star Wars Episode IV - The Rogue Cut, and many more!

@Howlingburd19 10 күн бұрын

Fun fact, Ray Park, the actor for Darth Maul was an actual martial artist and gymnast. You can tell by how he’s more agile than McGregor and Neeson and his movements with the lightsaber come off as very smooth and natural. He’s also shorter than both Neeson and McGregor, with his height being 5’9. A lot of the best gymnasts and acrobats tend to be shorter, and there’s a reason why. Being shorter actually helps in those fields because it’s easier to move and spin your body with a compact build. Shorter people also tend to have better balance because their center of gravity (which is usually around the abdomen), is lower to the ground, and the lower the center of gravity is to the base of support, the better the balance will be.

Every jedi practiced all standard saber fighting forms, it's just that certain people excelled in specific categories above others. Qui gon valued life and knowledge of the force but common sense in this instant would dictate going against an agile dathomirian zabrak wielding an unorthodox weapon to be on the offensive and apply pressure, he was still a master and earned it through skill

Its stupid but clever.

Honestly, the thing i like most about this scene is the window into each of their personalities when trapped between the gates. Maul is impatiently pacing back and forth, eager to kill his prey like a predator. Qui Gon is tensely, but patiently meditating, to reserve his strength and focus. And finally Obi Wan, helplessly stuck behind, but alert and ready to reach and help his friend the very second the gates open. Not a single word of dialogue between them,and we learn so much about them by simply watching. It's such a small thing, but i massively appreciate little character moments like that.

Perhaps I'm exaggerating but for me 0:38 is the perfect example of why Star Wars is a Saga as big/powerful as it is. The creativity of all the universe is amazing, and how original it all felt with each movie. 'You know swords, but what if the were made out of LASERS!' and then, 'you know light sabers, but what if they had TWO EDGES!' , and then with General Grievous 'You know light sabers, but what if one had FOUR OF THEM!! SPINNING!'. It all felt new and original, but without it feeling something out of Star Wars. That's why I think the Secuel Trilogy fell so deep. It all was a copy of the past/fan service where the Precuel Trilogy had very big creative challenges

He was a rabid attack dog that suffered not just before his defeat, but after it. Obi Wan, if anything, ended his suffering. Qui Gon, however, meditated, accepting in peace that if this was to be his end, it would be. And once it came, he would become one with the Force.

The lightsaber fight between Yoda and Sidious (or Obi-Wan Vs. Anakin) would have been a lot better had Lucas not edited it for time. If we saw a lot more, it would have been better. Lucas probably had to tone down the time of the movie for 20th Century Fox, and he caved in. If this was Christopher Nolan or James Cameron's movie, they wouldnt have edited this and let it go (but the movie would have been over 3 hours long).

Despite all the many, many flaws and failings of the prequels, when they are caught all separated by the gates is one of the greatest moments in Star Wars history. And the shot showing all three of them from behind Obi Wan is arguably the greatest, period. It just speaks to Star Wars, the atmosphere and art design, Jedi duels and the characters of all three so well. That quiet moment when Obi Wan is fidgeting ready to fight, Qui-Gon takes the opportunity to calm himself, meditate and catch his breath, and Darth Maul paces like a patient tiger is so absolutely perfect. I only wish the rest of the prequels could have been so damn inspired and spot as this brief sequence and moment.

@smartalex22 8 күн бұрын

Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were both students of Ataru at this point in the lore, a lightsaber style which focused on offense and acrobatic maneuvers. Darth Maul was a student of Jar'kai for his saber-staff and also Juyo, which is also noted for its extreme agression. None of the combatants of this time were particularly skilled in defensive dueling. That's why when Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon got separated, there was no falling back to the other Jedi, even in the corridor of laser walls, where this strategy may have been the easiest to pull off by simply walking backwards. To go on the defensive against Darth Maul would've been suicide because they were specialized for offense, not defense; Maul would've killed Qui-Gon even faster. This is why Obi-Wan took it upon himself to learn Soresu in the time between Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, and then became the Master of Defense. Just some thoughts on Star Wars, if you'd like.

Just saw this again in theaters and this entire pre fight sequence is so damn insane by Maul. Dude was literally standing in the way of 18 armed soldiers 1 armed Queen Amidala and 2 more Queen’s guards, (also armed) PLUS to extreamly skilled Jedi. Soon as the doors opened he wanted all the smoke. Was ready to drop every single one of them to get to Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan literally daring them all to press him. This has gotta be one of the coldest scene’s in SW history. They don’t know how close they all came to death. Qui-Gon saying “We’ll handle this” saved all their lives when you really think about it.
