THE 'PHANTOM' AT TWENTY: JEDI PURSUIT!


Out of the hangar, the ongoing Jedi conflict against their Sith opponent, who seems undaunted by the skills of the duo, brings further danger- their location now transferred to the deep interior energy chambers linked to the Theed royal palace and city...

"Nick Gillard told me what he wanted in the moves, but he also let me be very free in my movements and the flashier the better, which was part of Darth Maul's arrogance. He can end with a flashy pose because he's the man and he knows he's not going to make any mistake. He's nasty and he's got no remorse, no compassion for anything."

Qui-Gon goes in for an attack move on Maul.

Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) and Qui-Gon (Liam Neeson) corner Maul yet watch as he back flip leaps to a nearby bridge.

Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's lightsabers once more lock with Maul's.
