They were adversaries, but they were almost like brothers warring with eachother. I think Maul knew it had to end the way it did, for him to escape his madness. And his last words - "They will avenge us all..." Luke -- The chosen one... not gonna lie, got a little teary eyed.

I thought it was fantastic! Made me super happy in the end.

At first I was shocked that the final battle was three strikes, like all of this lead up for one and a half seasons and the final battle was 90% talking. But quickly after thinking about it I realized how perfect this ending was with Obi Wan just calmly almost nonchalantly sending Ezra away, Obi Wan showing his true mastery of his weapon, Maul realizing that his defeat was going to be his actual salvation it was probably one of the most beautiful moments that I've seen in this cartoon. Great tie up to the Kenobi/Maul Story.

Much agree with SadiraOrphesu. I originally thought it was a bit disappointing, but then I thought about it and realized this was actually a solid tie in to how lightsaber combat had changed for Obi-Wan. He was now a ronin irking out an existence on a desolate planet and required swift and precise moves to defend himself. In typical samurai fashion, he finished the fight quickly.

And the feels. Maul coming to terms with the fact that he and Kenobi were remnants of a long-dead lifestyle, and that neither of them would see through the end of the reign of their foes.
