am i the only one who thinks the best fight scenes are in SW3?

I did enjoy the quantity of fights in Ep 3.

But having just one real one entree fight in Ep 1 really made it stand out. The reactors were so bright it made it hard to see, but other than that it was a great fight and not chit-chatty.

So for the best quality of fights between lightsaber parties, it could be Ep 1.

Okay, one other major flaw is that when Obi-Wan ascends from the shaft he has like a full second to strike where Maul just turns around and stands there. I know he has to die for the plot, but give him some reaction for crying out loud, he wouldn't be that slow. He would be surprised and wouldn't have his other saber blade, so I can see him then being defeated in a couple of seconds in surprise, but just standing there? Lame. Lucas missed that one.

I missed the chitty-chatty. Not that they had much to talk about, but most OT fights are nice BECAUSE of the chitty- chatty.

Apart from the choreography, the EP1 fight didn't do anything to me. I still don't get why they were fighting in the first place.

Your knowlegde of SW is now in dispute. So is your position as debater on SW matters.

There is no dispute, it was one flaw.

He was a Sith...and Sith=bad apparently.

They fought because the Jedi couldn't allow Maul to obliterate the Naboo party led by Amidala, and Maul couldn't allow the Jedi to steamroll through the feckless droids to the Viceroy and lose him. He also didn't want to have to take them on in the circular throne room, but met them at his place of choosing.

So they silently agreed to a duel... of the Fates! Let's get it on!

They probably couldn't have talked about much...

Obi or Q: "Why have the Sith returned? Are you the master or the apprentice? Why has the Trade Federation done this? Where is the Viceroy?"
Maul: "Die in a fire!"
or
"I am going to bleed you both out. Unfortunately I have to get your heart racing so you'll do it faster, but fortunately my lightsaber won't draw blood so you'll meet my fangs!"

huh???

When he's cut in half

Obi-Wan: "Looking back 😄... I know you weren't after The Chosen One or Anakin, but as you came at him in your speeder would you have killed him with the saber? That sure would've changed things."
Maul, wheezing: "EU! EU!"

Singe is a new novelist! 🙂

Well, here's the point. Maul is only there to fight the Jedi. There are tons of battle droids around to fight the soldiers and Amidala. So what ARE they fighting about? And what are the Fates at stake? Prolly it's just that QGJ's death means Anakin will fall to the Dark Side. But for EP1 storyline that's stretching it a bit.

And since no one at the end understand what the heck was going on (including us: why did Padme have to sign a treaty, what was the treaty about, how did the treaty fit in Sidious's plan? etc. etc.) it is an odd fight. The only way to understand it a little is do a lot of background reading.

I think the pressing concern is that the people of Naboo are starving but they won't surrender, either. It's like a sloooow Death Star.

Kind of bleh but whatever.

😂

I am so confused...

So 2008 will be the same as 2007 for you.

It seems to be starting out as so...maybe you should be making more sense so it can be different.

Oh, so I am the problem now.

So it would seem. 😉

Easy way out, G.

Sometimes it is the best way.

Not this time.

No? That's a shame.

For you.

For you...because actually, that is the right way.
