Duel at the Lars homestead

A duel took place in 16 BBY on the Lars homestead on the planet Tatooine between the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and the cyborg former Sith apprentice Darth Maul. Kenobi had previously bisected Maul on the planet Naboo in 32 BBY, however the apprentice survived his injuries and spent the intervening years tracking down the Jedi across the galaxy for revenge.

Maul eventually found Kenobi at the Lars homestead, where the Jedi was secretly watching over the child Luke Skywalker. Maul attacked Skywalker's uncle, Owen Lars, which drew Kenobi out from his hiding place underground, watched by Skywalker and his aunt, Beru Lars. The combatants dueled with their lightsabers, with Kenobi knocking off several of Maul's horns and Maul knocking Kenobi onto a landspeeder. The Jedi ultimately had his lightsaber ready to deliver the killing blow to Maul, but found himself unable to do so. Instead, Owen shot Maul in the head with his rifle. The moisture farmer then forbade Kenobi from returning to his home, and the Jedi took Maul's corpse to burn it in the Dune Sea.
