We Finally Understand The Entire Darth Maul Story

Star Wars has introduced us to some extremely memorable villains over the years, but in some cases, it’s clear that less is more. Some characters who only appear on screen for a few minutes in the films have become fan favorites, like the bounty hunter Boba Fett or the Sith apprentice Darth Maul. With his diabolical appearance and double-sided red lightsaber, Maul cast a striking image in The Phantom Menace, with even the movie’s harshest critics pointing out that he was a highlight. He seemingly met his end at the climax of that film, but he has come back in the years since, so let’s take a look at the entire Darth Maul story.

Honestly got to be one of the best villian story... He never gives up

[mightymexicanwarrior]

"Tell me is it the chosen one?"
"He is"
"He will avenge us"

[thefanwithoutaface]

I'm just impressed with his characterization, basically being a being literally kept alive by his anger and hatred. It's pretty engaging.

Dave Filoni literally rescued this character and Ahsoka and killed off Maul with the most complete story so that Disney couldn’t ruin another great character

[jcummings]

Maul by far the most interesting villian in the whole series. Lucasfilm should give dave feloni a check for like a couple of million or so. him and Favreau are single handedly saving the franchise...

Normal people : "Good"
Darth Sidious :

[donhartfield]

He was a wasted character in Episode 1 that Dave Filoni rescued in Clone Wars by building upon his unstable childhood training to become Sidious' assassin. His power and abilities are rooted in his hatred of Sidious and the Sith as well as Obi-Wan and the Jedi, and that's what keeps him going even if it's not right. His death by Obi-Wan in Rebels was beautiful with all the elegance of a real samurai duel, but also the fact that Maul knew he was flawed and corrupted yet still went after Obi-Wan because he knew there was no chance to fix him. Filoni pulled out all the stops with his writing and made him amazing Anti-Hero at the end of the day.

One of the best characters in the whole story.
I remember him getting sliced up in episode 1 and thinking damn that’s it?

[IrisOsiris]

Maul is great because you can really empathize with him for wanting to take revenge on Palpatine. His death scene is just the best. All he cares about is that sidious gets what he deserves.

Darth Maul is unironically my favorite Star Wars character. His life is tragedy after tragedy and he reacts with hatred and anger because that is all he was ever taught, all he was ever given the chance to learn. And his last words are the only hint we ever get that he seems to know this and feel any sadness or regret for it. Darth Maul is one of the best villains ever written.

True fans know how to say "Savage" name.

[zeno]

Maul is one of my favourite characters in star wars. He has the most tragic story in star wars but he never gave up.

[Angel-Konan]

Darth Maul was and will always my favourite character *!*

He was so fascinating, brutal, intelligent and badass. And his demonic appearance was very impressive.

[ravtheartist]

George Lucas told Filoni to "figure out" how to bring back Maul from his death in Ep. 1. Filoni also created Ashoka Tano from scratch. So two of the best character arcs in SW in the past decade or so were due to Filoni. Nice work.

[DarthArachnious]

We're still need the story of how he lost his Criminal Empire, ended up on Malachor and how he defeated an Inquisitor to build his last lightsaber

[MrJorod]

I really wished they'd have animated the story of how Maul escaped Sidious, captured Dooku and the death of Talzin. That would have been visually insane.

[awesomecoolguy]

Maul is without a doubt, the greatest character in The Clone Wars and Rebels. He's also just one of my favorite Star Wars characters in general. I definitely wouldn't mind if we got a TV show about him and how he ran Crimson Dawn.

[Rizso]

The 4 last episodes of the clone wars season 7 is so damn good.

[zodiacstarlegues]

I wonder when Disney will tell us what Maul has been up to between Solo and Rebels?

[calebj]

Everything between the final Clone Wars episode and solo is still a mystery
