Makes sense, I wouldn’t have recognized any of that in a million years. I guess how fast it ended threw me off especially since they were building this up all season.

So its the spectacle of a lightsaber fight versus the deeper meaning of the scene. Yes we could have seen two old men past their prime doing backflips. But one, it shows that even for all of Maul's years of obsession and effort, its supposed to be anticlimactic. Maul did all this crazy futile stuff just to get this result. Plus, Obi-Wan has spent years coming to peace with himself and growing, and Maul has just regressed and stayed the same, blinded by revenge.

When Obi-Wan begins his duel with Maul, he purposely switches from his usual stance to Qui-Gon's stance, knowing that Maul will recognize it. Maul attempts to kill obi-Wan the same way he killed Qui-Gon, by hitting him in the face with his lightsaber hilt. However, Obi-Wan wanted him to do this and thus he is immediately able to counter by slicing right through Maul's saber hilt and into his chest, killing him.

I love how Maul says "he will avenge US" because he and Obi-Wan are both victims of Sidious and the Sith. Also, Obi-Wan holds Maul in the same way he holds Qui-Gon and Satine as they die.

When Maul mentions the Chosen One, he means Luke, as Maul and Obi-Wan mistakenly believe him to be the Chosen One. Of course, Anakin is the Chosen One, but Luke is the catalyst for him fulfilling the prophecy.
