Subject: Where at when Qui Gonn died?

Question
Where was the place where the duel of the fates took place? Didnt Ani blow it up? Is it still there, or did Vader blow it up sometime? I NEED ANSWERS! What was the name of it? is the pit really bottomless, or could you go down and get the lightsabers and Maul's Corpse?
PLEASE HELP!
send links that could help me find out more about this place.

Answer
The so-called "Duel of the Fates" occurred inside the Theed Royal Palace (located in Naboo), which had just been captured by the Trade Federation. One the other hand, the object that Anakin blew up was a Trade Federation battleship known as the Droid Control Ship. As a side note, it was necessary that they blow up this Droid Control Ship, because it would ultimately deactivate the battle droids that were fighting the Gungans, also in Naboo. If you watch "Return of the Jedi" (the DVD version), the end celebration scene would show you the Theed Royal Palace, which indicates that it was not destroyed by Vader or any other external force.

When it comes to the often described "bottomless" pit, where Darth Maul fell, Lucasfilm usually describes it as a "molten" pit. It is never revealed if the pit is literally bottomless, but after all, "bottomless" can simply refer to something that is extremely deep or too deep to be measured. Therefore, the molten pit could certainly be described as a bottomless pit.

If you are curious about Obi-Wan's lightsaber in "Attack of the Clones", which was strikingly similar to his lightsaber in "The Phantom Menace", the simple explanation to this peculiar anomaly is that those two lightsabers are not the same. Indeed, Obi-Wan quite simply created a different lightsaber having the same style (i.e., crafted the same way). He did not get back the same lightsaber that fell down the molten pit.

I hope my explanations answered all your questions.
