With 33 lines of dialogue and roughly 15 minutes of screen time, Darth Maul manages to be one of the most threatening, and best villains in the entire franchise. Ever since watching the Phantom Menace as a kid, Maul instantly became my all time favourite character in all of Star Wars. Also in the OG Battlefront 2, he has the sickest sprint in lightsaber combo.
Clone Wars - Season 6 Episode 10 The Lost One deserves to be here; Dooku fighting Anakin and Obi-Wan, no philosophy or anything, just good fighting. Dooku forces the two of them into opposite fighting styles than they're used to, and you can see how sloppy they are as a result. Anakin constantly being pressured and forced on the defensive, Obi-Wan having to abandon defense and try to sloppily exploit whatever openings he can see. It's a masterclass in seeing how a veteran lightsaber wielder fights; all being done with minimal effort.
29:23 i love how yoda catches the lightning, shoots it back and whether dooku can catch it back or not, it seems like he doesnt have the time to and resorts to deflecting it out of necessity. It shows the skill comparison imo
I think Ani is the only character in the movies that Obi defeated clean, in a battle. Lost to Greivous, so he had to use a gun. Lost to Dooku twice. Lost to Maul, so the writer made Maul stop moving. Oh, and he lost to Jango. But it does make sense that he would know how to beat Ani.
My 5 favourites are probably: Luke vs. Vader (Empire) Luke vs. Vader (RotJ) Ben Kenobi vs. Maul (Rebels) Ahsoka vs. Maul (The Clone Wars) Obi-Wan vs. Vader (Obi-Wan)
Awesome compilation video mate! I've seen the thumbnail changes on this one - interested if your CTR has increased after changing it. RUclips algorithm is tough mate, your content is awesome - please don't be discouraged with a lower view count here! Unsolicited advice, but I'm wondering if having a question in the title/thumbnail could give some results? That's helped my small channel a bit
1:06:00 Major SPOILERS for Jedi Survivor. Don't keep reading unless you want to be spoiled. Cal basically does this when he taps into the dark side. Those effected are still conscious, their minds are still active, but they can't even put up a fight. Stronger enemies can break off after a little bit and some bosses are barely slowed. Kit Fisto being a stronger opponent but not by much while Mace was just as powerful, if not more so.
Obi-Wan still took out the first Sith because he still was no longer considered a Sith at that point in my opinion and also from a certain point of view
@@FullFatVideos i agree. I personally have extremely low levels of appreciation for the clone wars cgi animated show. I liked the earlier cartoon show much better and if that were canon maul wouldnt have been resurrected
Personally I slightly prefer the Palpatine/Yoda duel over both Duel of the Fates and Obi-Wan/Anakin. Mainly because the latter 2 have a kind of underwhelming end to the fight? Maul just kind of stands there and watches Obi-Wan flip over him and Anakin forgets you can use a lightsaber in mid-air, it's the same problem that Anakin/Dooku has in Episode 2 as well.
I really like the fight with Darth and Luke when Luke looses his hand because that's an actual move in fencing where you swing your blade around and push it away and then if you want to for a stab and in general is pretty cool
Bro… duku has a curved hilt because he’s a trained fencer and they made it specifically for his skillset. Plus you can’t really even see it’s absolutely not for any commercial reason
There are already 12 Star Wars films EDIT:Didn't read the description, it's a compilation of the previous videos and therefore the mention of there being only 11 soon to be 12 films was just the nature of it being an older clip
@@FullFatVideos ANH, ESB, ROTJ, TPM, AOTC, ROTS, TFA, TLJ, TROS, TCW (The Movie), RO, SOLO I'm not trying to be arsey, love the video so far! Keep up the good work 👍🏻
0:13 why does the intro include the sequels. NGL the throne room right is still peak and probably the only genuinely great duel in that trilogy. People will nit pick the shit outta it but those people obviously don’t know what it’s like to make a movie. If you have to slow down the fight to 0.25x speed to pick out mistakes, it isn’t a mistake
I would say Palpatine is more of a keen opportunist than he is a 4D master manipulator. He can only really be the latter once he gets into your head. Beyond that, he tends to just play things by ear. He lost the fight to Windu fair and square - Mace was the better swordsman, but Palpatine had the board stacked once Anakin came into play.
7-9 objectively are the absolute worst duels, even obiwan vs vader are better than them and they were old dudes that didnt know what they were doing, but they still knew they were using swords, unlike daisy who thought she was swinging a club around
Sometimes I wonder if Obi wan vs Anakin is considered good because it’s long and moody since the basis for it is a relationship we have very minimal view into because of the massive time skips between films that would have developed said fight
I dunno, when the Marvel stuff was popping before Covid I was at each and every opening night, now that they're floundering and only a couple a year I just haven't even watched much streaming movies anymore. I just watch old TV shows like the Berlantiverse stuff, man that Naomi and Supes n Lois were such disappointments too, but there are no good movies out there anymore y'know.
@ you didn’t see it? I actually did find the plot, characters and world building much more interesting than the other non animated shows. Mando season one was a breath of fresh air but it’s a family/kids show at this point The idea of a murder mystery where someone is knocking of Jedi masters during peace time was such a cool premise. We finally see darth plagues on screen, some of the best choreographed lightsaber fights in Star Wars, cool and hot twin rival force wielders, the new sith are cool as hell, the master was very cool looking with a mask with a scary looking smile carved into it while the apprentice was a black samurai hottie who fought with barehanded martial arts supplemented with the force. The first time we ever get to see the Jedi actually at their height and not during their fall, during a war or after their extinction. We finally get to see the force used in more ethereal ways like in the books and kotor and force wielders who are neither Jedi or sith who use it in entirely different ways than they do I wouldn’t want to overhype it but I was very impressed and outright baffled that everyone would call it poop just because people are burnt out on Disney as well as Star Wars, cry about politics just because there’s a lot of females in the cast and everyone else for some reason is incapable of forming their own opinion and just parrot whatever they hear on the internet Tragedy of earth pleagus the wise indeed… now I’ll likely never get to see him in live action again
@@FullFatVideos the force… Why’d you block comments all of a sudden if you don’t mind my asking? Did people really get that heated over lightsaber duels? 😂 But yeah give acolyte a watch. I think you’ll at least find certain aspects pretty interesting

@@KurticeYZreacts it’s so awesome I wish they would do a “wizards battle” more, just standing toe to toe flinging force powers
Saying that Dooku's curved handle is useless and Maul's double blade is useful for dueling is very, very wrong
yeah, it’s one of the few that actually takes practicality into its design and love how it fits his regal fencing like style
I never get tired of rewatching obi wan vs anakin in mustafar
That and Duel of the Fates are the goats
Best fight in the series
I think Ani is the only character in the movies that Obi defeated clean, in a battle. Lost to Greivous, so he had to use a gun. Lost to Dooku twice. Lost to Maul, so the writer made Maul stop moving. Oh, and he lost to Jango. But it does make sense that he would know how to beat Ani.
this vid deserves WAY more notice
The 2d clone wars cartoon is by far my favorite bit of Star wars. More of that please.
Whats your top 5 lightsaber duels?
Check back next week for the finale to my lightsaber duel series... THE WORST LIGHTSABER DUEL OF ALL TIME
Hey! You forgot about Ahsoka vs Darth Vader in Rebels!
Will you do the duels in the squel Trilogy?
My 5 favourites are probably:
Luke vs. Vader (Empire)
Luke vs. Vader (RotJ)
Ben Kenobi vs. Maul (Rebels)
Ahsoka vs. Maul (The Clone Wars)
Obi-Wan vs. Vader (Obi-Wan)
@@SmashBrosAssemble a strong list for sure

Honestly the Empire & RotJ duels flip flop, they’re both equally amazing & the best of the entire franchise.
@@SmashBrosAssemble I love them both, I think I edge on Jedi slightly more just because it’s such an epic conclusion
