This StarWars fight packs plenty of character moments and action into a short time frame.
The Star Wars universe is known for many things: extremely cool spaceships and alien races, a blend of science fiction and fantasy, and the Skywalkers causing chaos with their family drama. But the element that most fans remember are the lightsaber battles. From the original trilogy to the television shows - most notably Obi-Wan Kenobi and the upcoming Ahsoka - most of the action has focused on the battles that Force users have utilized with their signature glowing blades.
Ezra ends up wandering the sands of Tatooine and passing out, but is saved by Obi-Wan. Shortly after, Maul arrives, hell bent on revenge. Obi-Wan sends Ezra on his way and faces off against his former foe. When Maul threatens Luke, Obi-Wan ignites his lightsaber...and the two face off in one last duel. In a matter of three moves, Obi-Wan cuts Maul's double-bladed lightsaber in half and deals the former Sith Lord a fatal blow.
Take their opening dialogue. Maul sneers, "Look what has become of you. A rat in the desert." Kenobi retorts, "Look what I have risen above." He's referring to how Maul has been consumed by hatred and revenge, shackled by the past. Obi-Wan, on the other hand, is focused on the future - namely, protecting Luke. It isn't until Maul catches on to the fact that Obi-Wan is protecting someone that he steps into a fighting stance.
Once again there's more to Obi-Wan's stance that meets the eye. Fans will notice that his posture is similar to the stance that Qui-Gon assumed during his lightsaber combat. Considering that Obi-Wan used his master's lightsaber to defeat Maul in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, it's only fitting that he'd use his master's stance to finally defeat his old enemy.
