I’m not sure if he knew and was ready, or had just reached a point where he was just always ready. We saw him clash with the council, but we also saw the council and order being played for fools throughout the prequels. I get the impression that’s because they were already tools of the republic first and tools of the force second. Qui-Gon ignored the council when instinct told him to, or found a way to bend the rules, following the force.

This scene stuck with me after seeing TPM in 1999 because it is a great metaphor for the different approaches to life. We can seethe and rage at life’s unexpected interruptions and frustrations like Maul does, pacing back and forth and futility probing at the blast shields, or we can accept that which is beyond our control and keep centered, like Qui Gon. Both die shortly after the scene which adds to the metaphor, that we will all die but we can choose to live in discontent and bitterness like Maul or harmony and purpose like Qui Gon.

Palpatine himself feared Qui-Gon Jinn. He knew that Qui-Gon was ahead of the Jedi Council. Qui-Gon was more developed and tune within the force. He knew what had to be done. Unlike the jedi council, who were weak and, quite frankly, easily played. If Qui-Gon was part of the council, maybe Palpatine wouldn't succeed. As for Maul, if he fought a Qui-Gon in his prime, he would have lost. Qui-Gon was arguably the greatest jedi ever (second is Luke).

They aren't an extension of the Force, not really. Bastions of the light, certainly, but not pawns of the Force. Qui Gon, on the other hand, was that true extension of the Force. He gave himself fully over to the Force, and the Force granted him the ability to live on consciously in it after his body died. I'm sure over the centuries there were many Jedi scholars that argued that what Qui Gon achieved, and how he embodied the will of the Force, was really how the Jedi should have been, but ultimately, what Obi Wan exemplified was what the Jedi chose to be.

What.......why he got run through?

Growing up with kotor, I figured it was battle meditation, but I can see how he may have been seeking the force for a window to defeat maul and saw his own death as the only way he could be stopped by kenobi.

This is one of my favourite "star wars moments", thank you for sharing your thoughts on it. I love it. Maul pacing back and forth like a caged predator waiting to pounce on his prey, hyping himself up. Qui gon the epitome of the jedi taking the moment to reset himself. Two opposite sides of the mirror

Back when I was a teen Qui-Gon was my favorite Jedi due to his calm and collected nature and cool green lightsaber, but as an adult I like him because there is so much to him. Great character with a tragic death. I wonder if Anakin would've turned out differently under his wings.

On a side note, I find it fascinating that while Sidious was the culmination of the Rule of 2 Sith, by the time he came about, much of the point of the Rule of 2 had been dropped in favor of the thinking of the Ancient Sith it was meant to replace. By the time of Plagus' master they were once again more focused on personal power and immortality, and after Sidious started the Empire, he too began to seek this and focus on military might. Both things the Rule of 2 tried to remove.

Everyone mistakes qui gon for being weak as well, being that he only fought maul on screen and lost. In actuality, he was one of the most powerful jedi alive at the time. He was obviously wise and experienced, but he was actually considered to be the second best form IV lightsaber duelist behind only Yoda. I believe in TPM novel maul states that he knows if he makes one wrong move against qui gon, he will die. Maul only wins due to him guiding the duel to a small space which doesn’t work well for qui gons lightsaber form, as well as qui gon getting tired due to age. Qui gon is my favorite character and the most underestimated jedi

Here we are, 25 years later still dissecting this legendary duel. I love it.

This was one of my favorite moments, the show of different ideals

I want to see more Qui Gon with Nielsen in the near future. Id like to see how those Jedi in the Fortress Inquisitorius base were being used, As the grand inquisitor said, there are far worse things in death. Id like to see how they are doing that and tie it in with Qui Gon since he mastered the force ghost.

Seeing these old clips makes you realize how lightsaber blinded Obi-Wan was. Homey gets kicked by everyone and it always works lol

Awesome content!! Yeah, but then Obi surprised the heck outta Maul, didn't he? 😂😂

Qui-gon posseses a specific set of skills...

I always loved that scene

Personal favorite actor of all times, and character oh the series.

Maul looks more pissed off and "elder Jedi needs to catch his breath" than terrified imo. Especially when as soon as they come out of it, Maul's kinda toying with him.

Nice job

It harkened back to the calm shown in A New Hope. In PM Obiwon is the emotional learner, Qui-Gon the image of the Master Kenobi can and will become. Unflappable both physically and spiritually in the force.

I always thought it was just a episode 4 call back.

He was preparing for glory and i think Maul was more worried and confused when he sensed something right before Obi-wan leaped up and sliced him

Certainly worth noting that Obi Wan too draws upon the wisdom of his master when he turns off his light saber, and says to Darth Vader, "Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine"

I was under the impression that force sensitive creatures only became stronger as time goes by...

i thought im the only one liking qui-gon. nice that he gets love from fans.

Do you guys think Qui-Gon was having his Garden of Gesthemane here? He was one with the force and knew he must die to fulfill the prophecy? He is just so zen. Fuck I love Qui Gon.

This is one of the reasons he would have been the perfect master to Anakin. He would teach him to detach and better himself strengthening himself not only of his mind but I'm the living force itself.

Ya he looked real scared right before he ran Qui-Gon through.

For 25 years. I have waited to fight maul. To face him. Form 7 vs form 7. I will defeat him

Did he know that sith gain power from negative emotions like fear? It's like he wanted to get cut in half.

I always assuming he was preparing himself to be a ghost like Obi and Yoda - Yoda does say he learned the technique from Qui Gon -- and Obi before he fell to vadar did a mediation thing

Here's a question: yes I do understand that the ray shield doors do open automatically but why use the force to open them up sooner or keep them open while everyone gets through? Or Maul, being a sith, force choke either Qui Gon or Obi Won while the doors are closed?

Qui Gon, a true Grey Jedi

I never got the sense that Maul was angry or fearful or QuiGon meditating but rather that it was showing the difference in philosophy between a Jedi and a Sith. QuiGon takes a moment to center himself, waiting patiently and listening to the force for the moment that the ray shields will open. Meanwhile Maul is impatient, testing the force and just wants to keep fighting, keep the hate and anger flowing.

My perspective was that Qui-Gon knew he met his match, and someone that could defeat him. In both duels, Maul had the upper hand convincingly.

Man, that might have to be a tattoo. Qui Gon is my favorite Jedi.

Qui-Gon has very particular set of skills, skills he has acquired over a very long career

Can’t wait to watch this duel on the big screen this weekend.

Qui-Gon is a great Jedi but for an old lengthy man using form 4 was not very good for combat. Him losing is just the lack of encounters with lightsaber duels so he didn’t pick a form for fighting effectively

This is how you should actually handle all people who are against you focus on the task at hand and do not lower yourself to there level even as you face of in whatever it may be as if you can achieve this you have proven that win or lose you are in fact better than your opponent as they need you to react for without that in many ways even if you win you deny them satisfaction and in many cases any argument that you are both alike and many people can’t stand it.

If only the jedi masters would've listened to qui gon instead of pawning him off, and then him finding the chosen one, and the putting the chosen one in positions where the jedi didn't want to hear... oh... younglings died...

He deserves more screentime. I hereby demand the old Jedi Apprentice book series be made into an animated short series. Sure, the story focuses on a young Obi Wan, but thats where we see the wisdom and power of Qui Gon on full display too.

Yeah he was so scared he beat his ass then killed him.

I actually always liked to think that Maul was so confident in his abilities he did not fear Qui Gon in that he probably was mocking him in his head and after he killed qui gon his confidence turned to complete arrogance which is why Kenobi defeated him

Qui-Gon Jinn had reached the level where he could see what was going to happen he knew he was going to become one with the force

Darth Maul was also riding the high of his first Jedi kill. Padawan Darsha Assant was his first true kill...her Master sacrificed himself to ensure that Darsha, Lorn Pavan, and I-5YQ were able to get to the Temple to alert the Council of the impending Naboo blockade. He felt robbed of the kill of the Master but he was able to take Darsha and this boosted his ego of being the first Jedi he killed. Then he killed Qui-Gon and the high he got from that was his undoing.

Nice.

Grievous was just another maul a skillful monster to hammer things down both destroyed by obi wan

As a kid I always thought Qui Gon was meditating to open the doors

If Qui-Gon had survived that would of been the end of Palpatine's plans.

Serious question, how old was Qui Gon in Episode 1?

Darth maul - "You lost obi one i have the high ground, bow to the dark side" Obi one - " ha you underestimate my power................as one of the main characters" Darth maul - "DOH"

My thought was that scene was meant to drive home the difference between Jedi(meditative,still) and Sith(predatory,pacing) in nature.

He isn’t terrified at all. He killed his with ease and very fast.

Great video. A lot less repeating lines in different ways.

Qui gon has high blood pressure and was simply trying to bring it back down.

Qui Gon is my favorite character from the prequels.

Qui-Gon meditating was finding his center, which is what Jedi are supposed to do... Maul, pacing was amping up his rage which is what Sith do... he wasn't scared.

Qui Gon had more depth, emotional intelligence, wisdom and strength of character in one film than the entire sequel trilogy cast

He was worried he would be cut in half and shoved down shaft. It was all he could do was pretend dead when a Jedi Master viewed his dead body.

Qui-Gon is my favorite Jedi. He's the total package and challenges the status quo the Jedi simply accept as law.

*Qui-Gon should not have pressed forward. He should’ve backed up and waited for Obi-Wan.*

From the “Star Wars episode 1 journals” Darth maul’s training was very intense. Scholastic did great on the series. Great read. Let’s you know who is, … Darth maul. May the force be with you.
