Millions o' Monkeys Posted November 10, 2001 Share Posted November 10, 2001 many of you have probably seen this but maby never realised why im bringing this up. In TPM when qui-gons fighting Maul, Maul pulls of that cheap-ass move on qui-gon. The one where he hits qui-gonb in the chin then shoves the saber through him. I dont believe that that should have been added to the movie, seeing any jedi even a sith would never dare try something as cheap as that. or am i mistaken ?...is (sorry..WAS) darth maul different to the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted November 10, 2001 Share Posted November 10, 2001 It's not cheap, it's combat. In combat, you do anything you can to get the advantage. If I were fighting you, and say, punched you below the belt, I wouldn't stop and say, "I'm sorry, let's start over again". It's all about survival.

Guest Kurgan Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 It's the whole "survival" vs. "honor" deal. If it were like a regulated competition then maybe you'd have a case, but in a no-holds barred fight to the death, anything goes. Kurgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 It was "cheap" that two Jedis were fighting one sith, hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 The thing is, maul can be as dirty as he wants. No-ones watching, except for obi wan who he intends to kill anyway, and the camera which will show it to millions worldwide, but thats not the point. When you've gotta win, you've gotta win.

SlowbieOne Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 I thought the Qui-Gon death was nothing compared to the cheesiness of the Maul death. I mean, come on George, Maul is supposed to be a powerful SithLord, and he's gonna fall for some crap like that? That's the oldest one in the book! He had a full 2 seconds to evade it, and all he did was watch Obi flip over him. Very un-Jedi-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millions o' Monkeys Posted November 13, 2001 Author Share Posted November 13, 2001 well yeah but...if you were in his position and some ball of cloth flies over your head, youd be a little confused frightened and probably shocked so it would take you a while to react as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Obi-Wan should have chopped him in two while he was jumping up, that's my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Simpson Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Errr, Maul can't speak...? I distinctly recall him having a few lines in the movie, although not as many as he should have had. This doesn't mean he's dumb though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
