    Baylan was such an interesting character, there was so much they could do with him, its such a shame the actor passed away, he was so talented, RIP Ray Stevenson
  • @robertblackmore703
    Sheā€™s also trying to grab the star map, which was the primary objective-not winning a duel.
  • @devilshit2949
    Baylon is so cool heā€™s like a mix of Vader and Dooku, elegant and aggressive
  • @jegudielyusha2866
    Note how skoll held his saber. Not just with two hands, but also, there was space between the grips. This allows for very powerful strikes.
  • @calilycan3213
    Yeah this was a very well done scene imo, felt very reminiscent of the last obi wan vs maul fight from rebels but with more content! They decided to focus on the techniques more and I think it really shines
  • @c-secofficer123
    Skoll was like black knight from medieval stories. I loved it

    Baylan was one of the rare instances in which Disney did not mess up

    If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Sun Tzu - The Art of War

    When it comes to the writing aspect I would say it's for the climactic effect, so that when they met again for round two, she can use both sabers in an even more epic fight and perhaps even win.
  • @michaelbaker5501
    I thought she only used one so she would have an open hand to grab the map

    I love the heavy lean into Kendo and samurai based stances and combat. Really bringing the Jedi back to its roots and exploring its inspirations
  • @dustingre8
    I honestly think the reason she use one saber is so she had a hand available to take the map. Magic would not allow her to force pull it off. You see her attempt to grab it, or get in position to grab it during her fight. Her only mental distraction came when she thought Shin Hati killed Sabine. She did not go there to kill Baylon, she went there to acquire the map. Also, she just beat Marrok with one saber because she knew she didnā€™t need two.
  • @gabrielcarrasco9078
    Using two lightsabers would also drain het stamina more. As both arms are moving. Against Vader, he used her aggressiveness against her prolonging the fight which worked to his advantage. Same for Baylin. She judged his stature, length, of blade and likely felt she was outmatched physically so she needed to use one saber only.
  • @Handsofakiller19
    I guarantee she knows all of Baylon's moves. He's like non robotic 1/4 power Vader
  • @chaoticdemise4494
    Yes she realized her dual wielding against vader was just not effective. Sure she injured him, but if wasn't for ezra, she would of lost. Vader was close to striking a fatal blow. She learned the Baylan uses a similar fighting style and had to use a single blade skill
  • @Greendragonranger671
    you also forgot Vader was her formore master and taught her how to used her lightsaber it was not just his aggressive fighting style. So him knowing her fighting style was still there.
  • @lucasvincent3021
    ā€œShe realized that didnā€™t work on Vader because of his aggressive fighting styleā€ And also because he trained her. He knew every move she would make before she made it
  • @peterpidrak9501
    Yep, my assumption was it was leverage. If she only has one hand on the blade, he is going to use his superior strength and his full upper body strength to power through her guard and hit her anyway.
