    the first actor in Star Wars that actually knew how to fight IRL

    That also goes for Liam Neeson, who had already had a badass sword fight, check out his climactic duel versus Tim Roth in “Rob Roy”. In fact, I believe that scene was key in his being considered for the part of Qui-Gon, I remember it being said at the time.

      I’ve seen that movie. It’s a great fight scene, but the Darth Maul actor was a straight-up martial artist.
