hey guys welcome back to another episode today we're going to go over some bonus
dvd material of the clone wars i'm going to jump to
season five when i go to the episode lawless and we're going to cover one of
the favorite scenes of mine and i know a lot of yours as well where
palpatine shows up very angry and he fights savage and maul
this is a scene where was really interesting for me in general because
well who doesn't like to see palpatine fight
and second of all because we get to see a lot of the characters that we
got throughout the seasons actually die and there's a reason why they die off
now sam waitwear and dave flony sit down they talked to us and explained to us
some stuff that went on with this the episode itself so i'm
going to let you guys watch it with me then we can talk about it afterwards and
there was if you didn't know there was actually another scene a deleted scene
um or a longer scene uh which was just a previz a pre-visualization
of the maul savage and palpatine fight it was pretty cool
there was a lot of extra stuff in there and i can see why they took some of the
stuff out but i would like to cover that as
well at the end so stay tuned for it let's get on with the video and the
fourth part of this arc with darth maul a lot of threads were coming together
that demanded that we end the arc for several characters
take them back to the palace
and it was one of the kind of early mandates of george in the clone war
was that he really wanted to kill off a lot of the characters that weren't in
the movies for sauvage it was always a debate how
long is this guy going to be around you hate to end him too early but when
sidious showed up someone had to go down and savage drew
the short straw
when i read in the script that darth sidious appears
and he has two lightsabers and he's very upset
that was really thrilling
probably the best lightsaber fight we've done in the series is the maul
savage sidious lightsaber fight you know getting taken out by cities is
pretty good ranks up there he puts up a better fight you know the
jedi council did i'll say that much for him
an element that you might miss if you're not looking closely is that savage
when he dies actually reverts back to his kind of
more youthful form his less frankenstein form that we originally saw
brother i'm an unworthy apprentice i'm not like you i never
was i think the audience will feel some measure of sadness when savage dies
i don't know that they would feel the same
sympathy for maul the things he does in this episode are so despicable
especially since i i liked satine so much and i liked that
relationship between her and obi-wan and uh so this was this was awful awful
stuff for sateen crees there never really was
any other possibility than her eventual death
the introduction of the character which began with henry gilroy
wanting to give obi-wan kenobi a love interest presented a problem we couldn't
really have this character glass your noble flaw is a weakness
shared by you and your duchess you should have chosen the dark side
master what jedi it's happening all because of
obi-wan because she is personal to him which maul knows and
maul's exploiting that so in that way we really force and test
not so much a romantic notion but the bigger idea
of this is all happening because of me because i failed to prevent them all
from resurrecting i failed to capture him in
the attempts i had before and does he take that on does he take
that guilt on we wanted to put him in that incredibly vulnerable
incredibly frustrating spot to show the audience how he has to learn
to let go of everything that he holds dear and in
that moment at that critical moment he cannot seize on his anger and his
hatred for maul though that's probably there deep within
he can't seize on it or maul will win and he knows that
remember my dear obi-wan i've loved you always
i always will i think we learned a lot about obi-wan
and what it means to be a true jedi which is what i really see
obi-wan as you know i think that's one of the main differences
between obi-wan as a jedi and maybe other jedi you know especially anakin
is even in that moment you know where he kills uh the only
love interest that he has sateen that he knows that
he must stay loyal to his jedi beliefs and that if he succumbs to this anger
into this emotion that he has within him then the jedi lose he loses everything
he's trained for is for nothing and maul wins because
then he would be no better he would be down the dark path and that's just not
what he wants to do he always wants to stay strong with his
emotions um in the light that is not strong with
the dark emotions so that's something i took out of this
as well um also there's this here which is a
deleted scene which i mentioned at the beginning of this video
um it's you could just you know throw in a star wars clone wars
maul savage palpatine deleted scene in there
and we get the same scene that we got from the clone wars
however we get some extra previous stuff that we never saw before like this
check this out so we get you know palpatine doing a little more acrobatics
he does of course the famous spiral jump that we got in
revenge of the sith and he does this one move that i've
never seen before in star wars i think it is
really cool it's something we would get maybe in
like force unleash or something like that it's right here three
two one one there we go so he's shooting lightning
out of his hands while he's holding his lightsaber so it's like
this lightsaber infused lightning i don't know attack where it's just it's
it's cool because it doesn't short-circuit his hilt or anything like
that and just kind of makes me wonder it's like what else was where's
lightsabers made of is that something that just
doesn't destroy the hilt if it if it circulates through it especially
palpatine's lightning in general another thing they threw in there and i
can see maybe why they threw this part out
it's regarding palpatine being you know thrown and stuck to the wall by maul
sure mall is strong with the force but it does show that palpatine has that
little bit of a tiny bit of a weakness like he's losing and for a first second
like he can even be thrown to the wall by maul and
i guess that's something that they don't want to portray this next scene
is definitely a easter egg call back to qui-gon and mall fighting
in that narrow corridor in episode one um
so i think there's a lot of cool stuff in here that they took out
but i'm sure for pacing and overall um story there was no need to leave it in
there as well as the part with sidious being pinned to the wall i could
see george maybe being like no we don't want to show that
because that wouldn't happen there's no way maul could be able to even do that
uh break through his force bubble so to speak anyways fantastic work as always
by sam wittwer portraying maul and uh great job to the
whole team and and dave filoni and of course george
lucas behind the whole thing so let's move on to the next one where we
can break that down talk about it review it
and have some fun later guys
you
