    I think what Fredrik was trying to say - since English isn't his first language - is something along the lines of "the future is female" which oddly enough seems like a popular thing to say among my US friends.

    And Norwegians are very lucky to live in one of the countries that SW was filmed in. [:D]

    The duel between Qui-Gon and Maul on Tatooine is too tame and short.

    since this is the only duel on sand in a saga dominated by deserts I could agree, imagine what they could have done with sand storms. It could have even been done that Qui-Gon bested him and escaped to counter-balance what comes after.

    However the point was to be a teaser, and what a teaser it was ;)

    I just wish Maul had fought so fervipusly that it explains Qui-Gon laying on his side on the ship after. :p

    You are right this is the only Desert Duel we get.

    I just realixed we have all the elements in duels:

    Fire (Mustafar Duel, ROTS)
    Earth (Forest Duel TFA)
    Water (Death Star II Ruins Duel TROS)
    Wind (Bespin Duel ESB)

    I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I've never heard anyone else say it and I know some people really dislike the diner scene in AotC, so...

    Dexter Jettster should have showed up in TCW at some point. The way they jump right into business after greeting each other in the diner scene implies that this isn't the first time Obi-Wan came to Dex for information - and probably won't be the last.

    Things like that make me think there actually was an extended duel which was filmed but chopped for time in the final edit

    Have you heard of a Director’s Cut?

    in the script (or early version of it) Maul jumped onto the ramp where he was knocked off by Qui-Gon.

    I can’t tell if that’s a genuine question or sarcasm.

    Genuine. They released an extended TPM soundtrack and so I was curious if that was because there is a longer version of the film.

    I have not seen or heard of one. I know the initial DVD release in the early 2000’s was more extended than the initial theatrical release, and that the Blu Ray changed puppet Yoda to digital Yoda, but I don’t know of any cut in which the Jinn/Maul fight was extended

    No, sometimes more movie is composed that ends up not being used or needed in the movie.

    We need Cosplayers to redo the duel between Jinn and Maul. Just as they redid the duel between Kenobi and Vader in ANH.

    I thought the former was executed just fine. Qui-Gon had been running and then engages in a lightsaber duel, something the Jedi haven't had to do in a very long time. Makes sense that he's out of breath.

    Also in his defense he’s a Jedi Consular, they focus on Force abilities not dueling.

    I think the TMP fight with Qui gon and Maul was poorly done, almost seems like a fanfilm.

    That’s something I was always puzzled about. If the Sith were thought to be extinct for millennia, who the heck did Jedi fight with all their sword combat training?

    When you think about it, Jinn dies from being stabbed, by Maul is cut in half and survived by pure rage. The dark side is stronger. :p

    But Jinn is able to effortlessly communicate from beyond the grave, whereas even Maul’s master has to resort to occupying a highly insufficient clone to do the same thing. So...

    -Master Yoda, is the dark side stronger?
    -No, easier, quicker, more seductive
