Learning the Darth Maul Lightsaber Clone Wars Experience with BM Lightsabers

The Darth Maul lightsaber Clone Wars rendition is an arresting emblem of Sith strength. Unlike other lightsabers, the weapon used in The Clone Wars series is a double-bladed saber intended for close-quarters fighting. Designed for adaptability, its form lets users carry quick assaults and fluid moves, therefore enhancing its value in any lightsaber combat.

Strap in for the Soresu form III Obi-Wan lightsaber post. This is gonna be a sad one, girlies. We’re getting into Obi-Wan’s Fucking Trauma. 

Qui-Gon’s death changed literally everything about Obi-Wan’s life, right down to the lightsaber form. Still a Padawan himself, he had to watch as an extinct monster from his nightmares* utterly took apart the form he’d learned since he was a child, and then, to complete the destruction, slaughtered the teacher who’d taught him the form and raised him. The devastation of Qui-Gon’s actual death had to be the last in a cascading series of horrors that started with the gut-sinking realization that Qui-Gon was losing. And if all of that weren’t enough, Obi-Wan also loses his own lightsaber in the same duel, a psychological blow to his personhood which we don’t have to guess at the significance of. Obi-Wan tells us the cost of it himself in AotC: this weapon is your life. 

The Duel of the Fates on a sheer physical level is a devastating thing to consider. It’s a grueling, full out running battle, the likes of which we don’t see elsewhere in the saga. The beauty (and pounding musical score) of the fight distracts from the sheer brutality of it. Maul is physically attacking them at every turn; he manages to kick Qui-Gon hard enough to knock all 6’3 of him off his feet; he dumps Obi-Wan into a fall that seems to be several stories high. We don’t see Obi-Wan get back up off the floor with Qui-Gon’s body at the end of the duel, and I’d be surprised if he was physically able to even stand again so after the adrenaline faded and the soreness and exhaustion took over. He just been whirled in a lightsaber blender. 

I can’t imagine how hard it was for him to pick up a lightsaber again after the trauma of that battle - much less, a new, unfamiliar one, not the kyber crystal that had been his since he was a child. The new canon’s emphasis on the spiritual relationship between a Jedi and their crystal makes this detail even more excruciating. The Ataru form itself must have felt broken and unusable. How can you put your trust in a form once you watched it be broken so ruthlessly?

And this is where Obi-Wan is so endlessly beautiful as a character. He goes through this horrifying experience of violent unmaking, and instead of avoiding lightsabers as an understandable trauma response, or picking up an overwhelming power and dominance form like V, he remakes himself into a master of Soresu: a form of simple, complete defense. He doesn’t attempt to become a weapon of attack like Maul did to disintegrate Ataru; he makes himself invincible, untouchable, with a perfect defense. Soresu works the pieces that fell apart for the Jedi in the Duel of the Fates to an advantage. It is a form of ultimate endurance, of playing out your opponent and staying up in a fight until the attacker is exhausted or angry. It preserves and it lasts. It is philosophical. It is considered. It lacks the showy flash of Makashi or Ataru and returns to the basics, even working in some of that battlefield meditation that Qui-Gon so believed in. And in that simple economy, it’s gorgeous and effective. 

I have to wonder: is Soresu, on some level, a form of kinetic self-soothing for a person who faced an incredibly traumatic battle at a young age? Does Obi-Wan use it that way?

All of this is perfectly in keeping with the themes of the character. Obi-Wan’s story remains about life, about hope, about survival. The word he uses to describe the Jedi to Luke in the OT is important to me. “Jedi knights were the guardians of peace and justice.” Guardians. And what better lightsaber approach for a person who sees his role as one of protection than a form whose signature move is called “The Circle of Shelter?”

*Maul, of course, is a tragedy in his own right, but that’s a different post.

Before I got into star wars, I saw Darth Maul’s face everywhere so I assumed he was like a major character in these movies

Imagine my surprise watching TPM for the first time

I was like why is everyone obsessed with this guy, why is he everywhere!?!

He had a cool battle with awesome music then just fucking died! He said like 2 sentences the whole movie!!

Then I watched The Clone Wars and Rebels (I had already seen Rebels growing up but apparently I blocked maul from my memory) and now I find myself completely obsessed with him so….jokes on me I guess :)

[lightsabergirl]

the next thing I love about maul is that stupid moment in the middle of his first fight with obi wan.

obi wan cuts his saber in half before kicking him and it makes me laugh every. single. time

(I couldn't find a gif of it so I had to make one)

do you see that face? he just accepted the fact he was falling, just collapsed, still processing what happened to his saber and I love it

Another Spooky Month Husbando of the day goes to Darth Maul from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and The Clone Wars!

I had the biggest crush on Darth Maul the first time I saw him. I was sad he didn’t have more appearances in the movies, but I did get to enjoy him in some of the cartoon versions and comics.

It’s so sad how his father died after his conception and his mom tried her best to keep him safe. She trusted Darth Sidious to take care of him and get him away from their home world so he wouldn’t be a slave to the Nightsisters. Darth Sidious never really cared about him, neither did Plagueis, they just thought of him as expendable.

I feel so sorry for him. He never had love growing up after he left his mom…I just want to hug him, I want to tell him it’s ok and he matters…the sad part is, I don’t even think it would matter to him…
