The red Maul saber is a nice addition, and well done, but I feel like there’s important symbolism in Obi-Wan taking up Qui-Gon’s saber (and metaphorically his quest) at that point. They’ve had their disagreement and made up about training Anakin. Obi-Wan the padawan falls, and Obi-Wan the knight rises, inheritor of Qui-Gon’s ideals.
Interesting interpretation, I never thought of it this way. I guess there are arguments for both keeping the saber qui-gon’s or changing it to maul’s. I think making it maul’s is a classic example of a Chekhov’s gun, it’s cut in two so that Obi can use it later on. Also visually I like it, it’s symbolizing that revenge is not the Jedi way and to me Obi using his master’s blade to kill Maul always felt a little like him taking revenge for him.
