The Showdown above Raydonia was a duel above the planet of Raydonia, around 20 BBY.
Prelude[]
After the Massacre on Raydonia, Obi-Wan Kenobi landed on Raydonia. He found that the village had been destroyed and was burning. Later, Obi-Wan found Darth Maul. Obi-Wan activated his lightsaber, only to have Savage Opress, Darth Maul's brother, ambush him and deliver several punches and kicks against Obi-Wan Kenobi, knocking him unconscious and to bring Obi-Wan to their Turtle Tanker.
Showdown[]
- "Your master, Qui-Gon Jinn, I gutted him while you stood helpless and watched. How did that make you feel, Obi-Wan?...Your rage has unbalanced you. That is not the Jedi way, is it?"
- ―Maul to Kenobi during their duel
Obi-Wan Kenobi was tortured by Darth Maul and Savage Opress aboard their ship. Meanwhile, Asajj Ventress snuck aboard their ship as it took off from the planet of Raydonia. After the ship took off, Ventress revealed herself to the two brothers before disappearing, confusing them before they knocked Obi-Wan out cold and began searching for Ventress, leaving Obi-Wan in the cargo hold. A moment later, Ventress woke up Obi-Wan Kenobi. When Darth Maul and Savage came, Ventress gives him one of her lightsabers to Obi-Wan and begin their battle.
Obi-Wan manages to get his lightsaber back from Maul and passes Ventress' lightsaber back to her. Then, Darth Maul and Obi-Wan climbed to a dark section of the cargo hold,
and the two dueled. Maul began to taunt Obi-Wan about Qui-Gon Jinn's death, infuriating him and making him using aggressive forms of lightsaber combat, as Darth Maul kicked Obi-Wan off the ramp. Obi-Wan and Ventress switched places, with Obi-Wan dueling Savage Opress and Darth Maul dueling with Asajj Ventress, ending with them retreating into the escape pod successfully, forcing Darth Maul to use a ray shield to close the door and Obi-Wan and Ventress escape.
Aftermath[]
- "They'll be after both of us now."
- ―Obi-Wan Kenobi
Darth Maul, after witnessing the escape of Obi-Wan and Ventress, vowed for revenge against the Jedi. Meanwhile, Asajj Ventress and Obi-Wan Kenobi concluded that it was not over, and that Darth Maul and Savage Opress would be after both of them.
