Bringing back Maul was literally one of the smartest things Star Wars EVER did. They made him a surprisingly great three-dimensional character while still remaining to be a threatening (or more threatening imo) antagonist!
It's amazing, because when he first appears it's contrived and seems like it could go spectacularly awfully, but they literally turn him into one of the greatest stories of the franchise
@@lavenderlavender3952 I can't imagine what it must have been like to witness his return back in 2012. Putting a character who had been with involved with Sidious' plans since its inception, cast off as a loose end, now reintroduced into the mix of things was a brilliant idea, and it's unfortunate that Maul could not see the grand scope of the plan until the final episodes, being focused more on revenge and attaining enough power to get back on Sidious' good side. If we had gotten another season between the events of 6 & 7, we could have seen a transitory arc as Maul comes to realize the full extent of Sidious' plans as he escapes Sidious' tortures, with his appearance at the Siege of Mandalore being the culmination of this arc, unsuccessfully trying to stop these plans and prevent Sidious' domination. Not to say that his journey through the series wasn't excellent already, but it could've added more.
I couldn’t disagree more. This is just like Mark Hamill’s comments on the Sequel version of Luke Skywalker; that it’s a completely different character from the Luke of the Original Trilogy. Likewise, this Maul in Clone Wars has very little in common with the Maul in TPM. People call it a character arc that he changed so much from the trauma… but just like how Hamill criticized Luke giving up in the sequels… the way this Maul handles things is not characteristic of what the Maul in TPM would do. This one screams and rages, loses control, talks way too much and is far too animated in comparison to TPM. The Maul in TPM would not have gone mad after surviving the duel. He would have laid in wait calmly until his opportunity arose to come back and pursue vengeance. Sure he would have had rage, but it would be much more internal than external with screaming/mood swings etc.
I love how in the Siege of Mandalore arc, Maul sounds like an utterly insane conspiracy theorist, but it 110% right about everything and could have averted the rise of the Empire.
What I found interesting is how Ashoka heard him out up until he mentioned Anakin being palpatines apprentice, almost as deep inside subconsciously she knew he was right and didn’t want to accept it. I mean she did know anakin pretty much better than anyone, she knew about Padme and I think it’s more than likely she can piece it together
It's honestly a pretty unique moment, not just in Star Wars, but in media in general. A nutty man shouting a warning about an evil wizard in control of government to soldiers and people who can theoretically stop it, it's a great concept that deserves to be re-used. Imagine if that happened in real life. If some homeless guy started shouting by the side of the road while he was being arrested, and a few days later the apocalypse actually happens.
@@Deathmare235 I agree for the most part but it does feel like Star wars killed his character through overuse (Let's be real, clone wars and maybe rebels were more than enough) Edit: I no longer think rebels was a bad cameo. solo can die in a hole for all I care, but rebels was good. I was an idiot 😅
You gotta respect Maul and Savage as Sidious actually used his lightsabers against them proving how powerful they really were. And the fact that Sidious actually considered them rivals is a huge compliment to the brothers.
It had nothing to do with them being a "challenge." Sidious has said numerous times he found lightsabers pointless as with his level of strength in the force he had no need for a lightsaber seeing it beneath him with how strong he is. He was toying with Maul and Savage he could have killed them a thousand different ways just through the force alone. Neither where a challenge a threat yea sure but no challenge in dispatching them need be if Palpatine felt like it.
His fight with kenobi on tatooine is really symbolic. They both met there, they both lost everything, and meet each other where it all started. His last words, "he will avenge us", are truly depressing.
@@BurgundySorcerer no with a question Mark?. Are you not sure of your answer? I’m asking a serious question. I love the original Star Wars trilogy with Harrison Ford and company and am only vaguely familiar with this franchise. I ask a serious question, I expect a serious answer, you creep. Since you’re apparently not capable of being a grown- up, go find your mommy and ask for more milk and cookies. Ok. And pretend I’m patting you on the head, junior.
"He will avenge us!". After all that time hating and hunting Kenobi, his final thoughts were for *both* of them to be avenged... moving in its own twisted way
@@mariokuschel00 dude he is talking about Kenobi and him with that "us". Why would he be talking of Savage when he is not even there? Filoni himself said that Maul was talking of Luke avenging Obi wan and Maul, two guys with their lives manipulated and destroyed by the Sith.
@@granalmirantethrawn2972 when you are talking with your parents about your activities with your friends you're most likely referring to your group with "us" even thou your friends arent there anymore. As an example
The whome final fight was so anazing. Both became so fucused over the years they knew pretty acrobatics would not work and the first exchange of blows would see the winner of the fight. Anf then obi wan takes the same stance qui gon did all those years ago and maul lights up a bit because he knows how to kill obi wan, but the obi knew that maul knew and countered the same exact move that killed his master so many years ago
@@Blutwind Its a testament to the growth of both characters. Obi Wan had gone from a Padawan helplessly watching his Master and being haunted by guilt for decades to one of the greatest Jedi of all times, able to put aside his emotions in service of the will of the force (which wanted him to protect and guide Luke towards his path) Maul was never going to win that fight. His anger, thirst for revenge and power clouded his judgement. It made him arrogantly think that he could kill master and apprentice with the same move. Had he been thinking clearly he'd have know Kenobi was bating him into a trap. But in his final moments we see just how far maul had grown. He let go of his anger and need for revenge and in that moment he could feel how the force had guided him and Kenobi to that moment. So that they would be avenged like he so craved
It strikes me just how different Maul became after Savage died. He got a lot more patient and thoughtful, you can see it. He also became somewhat more... gentle? In a way.
Patient yes, but it didn't eased his revenge. Ohiwan pointed out that darth maul had nothing to gain after dominating Mandalore and killing Satine to spite obiwan.
Ray Park did a fantastic job portraying Maul in phantom menace and Sam Witwer was an excellent voice actor for Maul in clone wars and rebels. All in all both did Maul justice
Ray only gets to voice a single line in _Phantom Menace,_ but I feel his voice should be given more appreciation. Both Ray and Sam are phenomenal with voicing this man.
@@Alizudo Park did not voice Maul in the phantom menace. Maul’s lines were dubbed over by Peter Serafinowicz, as he had a lower, more intimidating voice than Park.
Well there was that time in the canon comics when Palpatine found out that Vader had been doing a whole bunch of shit behind his back (creating his own personal army of commando droids, acquiring private funds, murdering anyone who gets in his way or threatened to expose him, etc.). But instead of being furious with Vader, Palpatine commends and praises him for his actions since deception and betrayal were the ways of the Sith. I’d honestly consider that moment the sweetest compliment Palpatine has ever made.
For all of his power, all of his training, all of his ambition, Maul always sought a second. He sought it in young anakin, found and lost it in his brother, and atepmted to regain it in Ezra. The man was alone, and just wanted a true ally. A friend.

Such a good point! Maul never lost his dathomirian roots even though he was torn from his family at such a young age. He always longed for that belonging, especially after he lost his brother and eventually his home planet to Sidious. I think that’s why he almost feels a sense of relief as he is dying in obi wans arms.. finally he can rest knowing that someone has his back, and will avenge his life of suffering
I love his character in the last season of the clone wars. He knows what is to come, while the rest of the galaxy basically doesn't even suspect a thing.
Actually if u remember one trooper learned the truth and in his obsession to reveal it he was killed but also gave proof to rex who did find a way to destroy the programming in him
I mean, it helps he knew a lot of the details from his own time as Sidious’s apprentice. He wasn’t privy to the details, but considering even the Jedi in their monumental stupidity and arrogance almost managed to figure the plot out in time, that’s not much of an excuse.
I honestly like how dangerous Savage is by just throwing a light saber around barely understanding what he's doing. It really makes you wonder what kind of monster he could have been.
Maul was the more natural talent, but the nightsisters used their magic to make savage a potent force. With more time they could’ve honed their skills(bc maul must’ve also been a bit rusty) but alas time never seemed to be on mauls side
Seriously, when those Naboo doors open and he ignites his double bladed lightsaber. I didn't even care that qui gon died at first cause maul looked so sick 😂
considering he sorta managed to foresee the travesty brought upon by Sidious and Anakin AKA Darth Vader, I can respect him for trying to stop it before it happens, even if he's not exactly on the good side either.
From “Ahsoka . . . Tano, is it?” To “The end game, Lady Tano.” I have to imagine Maul shows Ahsoka some begrudging respect after she keeps up with him at such a young age, he knows not to underestimate her anymore.
He's a true old empire sith, all that matters to him is strength and power, I'm pretty sure he enjoyed having deathwatch on his side because of the existence of Malgus and Exar Kun who both heavily supported the mandalorians way of life, especially when it meant killing jedi
Filoni absolutely butchered Maul. He should've wiped the floor with Ashoka. The guy can keep up with Obi Wan and Sidious but can't even beat a washed out padawan? Talk about plot armor for Filoni's oh so precious character.
@@notapuma He definitely didn’t keep up with Sidious, Sidious was laughing and not even trying the whole time. Dude was toying with him, the moment he got tired of the game he absolutely mopped the floor with Maul. Remember that Obi-Wan was completely off balance when fighting Maul, Maul used Obi-Wan’s pain to match him. When Obi-Wan centered himself he kept up with Maul, in Rebels we see how Obi-Wan has grown far beyond Maul. We know that being emotionally off balance is a HUGE debuff for force users, both Sith and Jedi suffer in skill and power when they aren’t focused. Remember also that Ahsoka was trained by Anakin Skywalker, one of the most powerful and skilled Jedi to exist. The Jedi that had Obi-Wan on the back foot for the entire Mustafar duel, the Jedi that bested the amazing duelist that was Dooku on his own. We see that Anakin’s training with Ahsoka was intensive and consuming, she was taught by one of the best. You don’t have to like Ahsoka or Clone Wars, but don’t pretend they didn’t give reasons for why what happened happened, or that other characters haven’t been given similar plot armor in Star Wars before.
@@notapumahe did defeat her dude, she was no match for him. But he didn’t intend to kill her that is why he „lost“. It was the same way with Kenobi back on Naboo. Kenobi was beaten but Maul didn‘t kill him instantly. And tbf, Ashoka was trained by one of the most powerful Jedi back then.
A broken man, born on a wasteland, raised in hatred, groomed to be an agent of darkness. Raised his entire life to desire power, to be a sith lord, only to be cast aside when a more powerful replacement was found. Bisected, alone and without direction, he lost his mind, barely surviving. Eventually he was given hope again, hope that he could be something greater, hope that he could forge his own destiny alongside his brother, hope that he can have his revenge against the one who took his legs, his place in the sith, his destiny: kenobi. Then, at the precipice of his success, he lost it all again, to the man who forced him into this path, his master, his guide: Darth Sidious. Betrayed by all and alone by circumstance, he was left only with one purpose: revenge. He sought to strike down all those who took everything from him, but at every turn he failed. At the end he sought to kill kenobi, at least he can suffer for everything, at least the man can have this much. Yet again, he fails. Struck down for one final time. The only solace is the promise of kenobi, that there will come a day when sidious will be struck down, one day. The man can die knowing that his revenge will occur, one day. A broken man, born on a wasteland, died with nothing, no friends, no family, no legs, no name. All he has left is a single word: Maul.
1:14:43 - 1:15:02 sums up why I love this character. One of the things I love about this character is as much as he tries to distance himself from the Sith he's trapped, their teachings are fundamentally burned into him, he always seeks power and is driven by his want for vengeance all the way up to his death, but the tragedy of him is further shown in the little moments where he does show traces of humanity. Moments like Savage's death, or his final big moment with Ezra on Dathomir, that whole bit really comes off like he is alone. Sure, he still wants to kill Kenobi, but part of him does want a meaningful connection with someone beyond that.
One thing I appreciated about Maul was his treatment to his apprentices. He always treated them both the student and an equal. Prehaps to reflect how Palpatine treated him.
palpatine actually thought of maul as a loss. he did value maul as an apprentice and his loss to obi-wan on naboo was unfortunate to him. dooku was a means to an end after palpatine learned of skywalker.
If Sidious was smart, he would've realized he could've kept Maul around as an apprentice during the time of the Empire. Vader and Maul combined add up to ~1 apprentice, give or take a limb, so it falls within the rule of two.
19:59 I respect how Maul chose to push his nemesis away and help savage, rather than taking the opportunity to try and kill kenobi and leave Savage Opress behind.
even tho he was created in hatred and domincance, Maul shows sometimes real care for savage probably, if he wasnt taken by sidious, he could have been at least happy in Dathomir
I never could've agreed more. 👏 Darth Maul truly deserved better, at least in my opinion. True, he may have comitted horrendous deeds as a Sith, but in the end...he was as much a victim asides from being a survivor.
God the animated series did so well in making you understand his pain. Especially with Ezra watching him so conflicted. He's torn apart by revenge for Obi Wan and past events but just as much if not more he just wants someone to be there for him. It was cool seeing 2 sith genuinely care for one another and it wasn't the typical sith relationship before Savage was killed
Completely agree. There is a unique purity to Maul and Savage. Not only because they’re brothers, but also because Maul is not anything like other sith. He always maintained his dathomirian roots, and viewed the rule of two as a brotherhood. He possessed respect and trust that most other sith lack
@@pinheadnate8799 Guy, going from comment to comment saying how you think Sam Witwer's acting is bad, just being a general contrarian, and then claim you aren't even trolling, but this is what you're actually like. On an hour long video mostly containing clips of a show you apparently didn't watch no less. It's not even about having an opinion, it's about the context. What a bruh moment. Is the reason you keep commenting because you haven't gotten anyone angry yet?
Yeah, at that precise moment Maul starts to realize what he has truly lost. Until then, Savage had been his only family member that had remained by his side ever since he had been found. They both deserved better... :(
@@sougotokiwa8439 Oof, yeah, I remember when I first saw that part in the 'Son of Dathomir' comics. Man, that was rough for him, it made me feel even more sorry for Maul.
41:48 You can hear the genuine fear in Mauls voice as he says Sidious' name. Truly spine chilling to know that someone as powerful as Maul trembles at the thought of Sidious.
I find it Incredible how Maul went from being nothing but a 1 dimensional "OMGSOCOOL" throwaway character to easily one of the best written characters in all of Star Wars media Just goes to show how talented of a writer Filoni is
I think the VA deserves a lot of credit for making Maul as compelling as he is. Everything from his mad ravings in the cave, to his reserved but delicious political machinations, to that dramatic soliloquizing before he fights Ahsoka. So excellent.
Yeah, so well-written that it was never explained by your dear Filony how exactly he managed to survive from fall damage while being cut in half. It’s probably the dumbest comeback ever and the originator of “somehow, palpatine returned”, but everyone just glosses over it. And I very much prefer the strong, silent Maul to the tryna-be-cool hysteric he was made in the clone wars
I like Sam Witwer's voice over whoever voiced Maul in Episode 1. Witwer's sounds more threatening and there are times where you can hear a little bit of Starkiller's voice
Il like both voices. I like the raw rage and emotion from Witwer’s voice but I also like the more calm and collected voice from Serafinowicz which gave him a very mysterious vibe that fit his role in that movie perfectly.
Darth Maul's first words: Tatooine is sparsely populated. If the trace was correct, I will find them quickly, Master. Darth Maul's last words: He...will...avenge us.
23:45 for some reason I find that absolutely hilarious. Maybe it's because they're trying to be all serious and scary and then *bonk* . Even maul looks up like "what was that? Oh it's just you being too tall again"
And right after when Maul drawls out his name, like he intends to sound as menacing as possible, only to add in a lighter tone "this is Savage.", just does it for me XD
Seeing Darth Maul cloak reveal was one of the most jaw dropping things I had seen in cinema as a teen. We never would have fathomed someone could reach that level to practically match Darth Vader. But George did it.
44:10 is honestly a terrifying line, it's not maul who's terrifying but "the plan", this massive war where everyone involved is suffering and there's loud explosions and they're "blissfully ignorant" what a good arc
I find it impressive that the people behind The Clone Wars took what was meant to be a one-off, throwaway antagonist and made him into a face nearly every single Star Wars fan knows as well as Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader. What a journey.
Maul is awesome. One of the most interesting characters in star wars because even though he did bad things he wasn't an entirely bad person. I also find it heartbreaking how lonely he was and how used to betrayal he is.
He really was one or two smart decisions away from being an all time great character that could have been in greater power for a long time, but those key moments that led to loneliness and betrayal really changed his course
Wasnt a bad person. My dude was pure evil no matter the cost I understand his anger but my dude kill innocents without a care to get to one person he failed to kill many times
@@THIEF97 Can't say he's pure evil personally. I've seen pure evil and pure evil doesn't care if his brother gets hurt or dies. Pure evil doesn't seek out an apprentice just to have a connection with someone. The only connections pure evil wants are the ones that benefit them and can be controlled or cut off. That ain't Maul. Sure he's evil, but not entirely. I'd never call him pure evil.
Not pure evil. Both sides of the force are guilty of spilling innocent blood one way or another. Maul has a lot more layers to his life that I think calling him "pure evil" is over simplifying him. He's evil and therefore has evil tendencies because this is how he was taught. For the better half of his early life Maul was trained as a relentless killing machine for Sidious. You can't blame an attack dog for acting how it was raised. Pure evil is remorseless and gives no shits about anything but itself. And as we see how Maul turns out in Rebels it's very clear losing both his mother and brother have taken quite a toll on him. Once Sidious considered Maul useless, his whole life crumbled and he spent the rest of it trying to find some form of purpose. And he spiraled even further into fear and confusion the more Sidious took from him. That's not pure evil, that's desperation that's been turned into aggression.
Gotta say the reveal that maul was alive gave me chills. Especially when his face comes into the light Savage's necklace. Definitely one of the best Star Wars Villains.
I was so happy to see Maul again in Rebels. Appearances from him,Ashoka,Darth Vader and Admiral Thrawn were the high points of the series. "WHAT FUN...WHAT FUN!"
Evil was all that Maul knew how to be- when he had Savage, all he knew was how to be a master. He knew nothing of how to be a brother. Evil was taught to him until that was all he knew. After he lost Savage, all his hatred really covered the hole in his heart- notice how he reacts when Savage is injured and killed. He cared for his brother but didn't know how to do so. And when he meets Ezra, the first person he has talked to in years, he tries to use him to fill the gaping void. Maul might be evil, but beneath all that ingrained and tutored hate, all he was, was lonely.
@@joshmarden9933 yes, such as sidious was, it's shown hundreds of times that maul could've been a jedi or simply a nightbrother, if sidious didn't get there first, rage became mauls blood, when he finally died, the realization hit, and he was neutral once more.
Darth Maul is one of my absolute favorites based on stories. Before being cut in half, it felt like all he wanted was to kill as many Jedi as he could, but he was reckless which caused him defeat. After Savage found him, Maul felt more like a politician who would plan out attacks instead of being reckless which gave him so many victories. 2 more of my favorites based on stories is General Grievous and Galen Marek.
I love Maul’s lines in Clone Wars season 7 episode 10 “Phantom Apprentice.” A lot of what he said was true about the fall of the republic and Anakin’s fall to the dark side. But the time of Jedi had not passed, not yet.
Darth Maul truly is the Boba Fett of the prequels; Barely shown in the movies with barely any story background, but has much more stories outside that make them very beloved by fans.
Same that's the power of grief and loss losing everything you stood for to 1 single person (Tbh I don't blame maul for wanting vengeance against Kenobi) and let's be real by the time it got to the siege of mandalore that's what maul truly wanted (other then revenge against Kenobi and preventing order 66 indirectly) to gain what he thought would of got if he didn't get cut in half all those years ago
One of the BEST villians in all of Star Wars, he was so so cool and had a deep story that made you sympathize with him. He is my favorite character in all of Star Wars (Second only to Anakin Skywalker, and Palpatine)
I see him more as an anti-hero than a villain. Anakin chose his path. Maul didn't. Maul lost everything he cared about because of Kenobi and Sidious. The Sith ruined his life. He had no choice. His main flaw was revenge. It was what finally killed him but in the end his suffering finally was over and Kenobi gave him hope one last time before he died by knowing that the Sith would one day be destroyed by the chosen one.
20:30 that is the most heartwarming, best brothers scene I've ever seen. Also: when I saw darth maul in the phantom menace I didn't expect him to be that cool and fearing. He just started getting impressive to me in the clone wars. His death in the phantom menace was truly disappointing and unsatisfying.
Sam Witwer is a global treasure. He transformed a generic, freak looking villain into one of the most pathos filled, complex, and badass characters in Star Wars, along with the writing for his character
41:56 Maul: "Not yet" (In his mind: "Ahsoka Tano turned out to be interesting" ... "I think I found my equal, I like her" ... "She will help me defeat Sidious") If only Ahsoka had teamed up with Maul, the story would have been different. They would be unstoppable. I admire and respect Maul very much
I know it would be sick to see, and they share a similar Viewpoint because both were betrayed by their Former Allies, Maul by Palpatine/Sidious, Ahsoka by the Jedi Council. But Maul was trained to be more of an Assasin, a good Duelist but not a match to Sidious in the ways of the Force. And Ahsoka also fills a similar Role. If they were to engage the Sith Lord, they would be killed for they are not a Threat but still a nuisance in Sidious' Eyes, and he wouldn't have a Use for Maul or Ahsoka, they would be killed with relative ease.
@@tylerrassi4148 Definitely not Luke, maybe not Anakin. Even in RotJ Luke only won because of his connection to Anakin, his father. Maul has also consitently beaten Obi-Wan in every exchange save for his final moments, and only back-pedals when something close to him is threatened. Obi-Wan beat Anakin, Maul beats Obi-Wan when not having to worry about another, Maul could potentially beat Anakin. Although Anakin's turn to the Dark Side would also be incredibly fresh and have that additional initial surge of quick-reward power, so Maul could definitely lose against full-Sith Anakin. He already admits that he'd lose against Vader, too. We've already seen that he looses against Sidious, although he did force Sidious to take him seriously for a quick moment, something only Yoda has ever been able to do. Ultimately, I'd say a proper Ahsoka-Maul team-up loses against Sidious, probably Yoda, win against Obi-Wan, win against Light Side Anakin and lose against Dark Side Anakin (maybe).
Maul is badass but u gotta love obi Wan for the "I like your new legs" joke. He always brings a lighthearted energy to things even in the face of certain death
Definitely one of the greatest Star Wars villains. He is up there with Vader, Sidious, Grievous, Thrawn, Dooku, Ventress, Boba Fett, Cad Bane, Durge, Abeloth, and the Yuuzhan Vong. Ray Park and Sam Witwer made him so legendary. My only question is how does Maul use the bathroom after his first defeat?
Vader, Sidious, Grievous, Thrawn. Hell of a list. Can’t say exactly how he uses the bathroom, but let’s just say that’s the main reason why he’s so mad at Kenobi😆
Went from a character with a cool design and one of, if not THE best choreographed fights in the series (I like to imagine that he planned out a whole route for his fight based on how he fought at different stages, particularly with how quickly he switches from defence to offence the moment he had a guaranteed 1v1 with Qui-Gon without a chance of interruption from Obi-Wan) to one of the best written characters in the series
The fact he came back from the ashes (with the help of savage and mother talizen) united 2 crime syndicates became leader of death watch and ruler of mandalore (with Accordance to mandaloren tradition) and overthrown the hutts really shows how efficient his planning is and his understanding of how the galaxy works not in the political way but in the way to survive (even though it changed since he was cut in half) in my opinion darth maul would of done a better job running the empire than sidous (maul ran his empire based on over zealous loyalty to him while sidious ran has empire based on fear and loyalty is harder to break than fear)
I love Sam Witwer's work. I actually met him back at the Force Unleashed launch party in SF in 2008. His voice as Starkiller is iconic. So when I found out he was casted to voice Darth Maul, I was excited. And hearing the aggressive and low tone he puts on for Maul sells it for me. But I always find it awesome how when Sam Witwer says certain lines in certain tones like at 1:01:06 you can hear some Starkiller coming out.
9:08 I never really noticed it before, but Maul's legs don't fall off until he is rendered unconscious. This implies that he spent years holding his legs together through sheer force of will.
Keep this in mind! Losing limbs and living tissue permanently reduces your strength in the force (due to having less Midichlorians). This guy accomplished all this with his force potential cut in half!!!
There's so much to be said about maul. He was raised to be a disposable pawn, stopped every time he came close to achieving his own goals, and became so desperate for revenge that he threw everything away. You can hear it in his voice come rebels. He has nothing left, he just wants revenge, revenge for not being able to be something else, something more than what he was. When he died, he died with a consolation, at least someone would pay for what he went through.
@@dragonlord3376 I agree he went from being a “son” to the most powerful being in the galaxy only rivaled in the force by yoda and windu to discarded trash and when he was found by his brother and once again became powerful sidious killed his brother and tortured him then once again abandoning him only to be killed by Obi Wan after years of abandonment and torment

A little too flat humour, considering the character in question.
That’s the point,yes.
Bringing back Maul was literally one of the smartest things Star Wars EVER did. They made him a surprisingly great three-dimensional character while still remaining to be a threatening (or more threatening imo) antagonist!
honestly, too cool of a character to leave to one movie. bringing him back also made my favorite character savage opress exist too
It's amazing, because when he first appears it's contrived and seems like it could go spectacularly awfully, but they literally turn him into one of the greatest stories of the franchise
@@lavenderlavender3952 I can't imagine what it must have been like to witness his return back in 2012. Putting a character who had been with involved with Sidious' plans since its inception, cast off as a loose end, now reintroduced into the mix of things was a brilliant idea, and it's unfortunate that Maul could not see the grand scope of the plan until the final episodes, being focused more on revenge and attaining enough power to get back on Sidious' good side. If we had gotten another season between the events of 6 & 7, we could have seen a transitory arc as Maul comes to realize the full extent of Sidious' plans as he escapes Sidious' tortures, with his appearance at the Siege of Mandalore being the culmination of this arc, unsuccessfully trying to stop these plans and prevent Sidious' domination. Not to say that his journey through the series wasn't excellent already, but it could've added more.
@@thirdcoinedgeit’s been almost 12 years since, I noticed that as a teenager.
I couldn’t disagree more. This is just like Mark Hamill’s comments on the Sequel version of Luke Skywalker; that it’s a completely different character from the Luke of the Original Trilogy. Likewise, this Maul in Clone Wars has very little in common with the Maul in TPM.
People call it a character arc that he changed so much from the trauma… but just like how Hamill criticized Luke giving up in the sequels… the way this Maul handles things is not characteristic of what the Maul in TPM would do. This one screams and rages, loses control, talks way too much and is far too animated in comparison to TPM.
The Maul in TPM would not have gone mad after surviving the duel. He would have laid in wait calmly until his opportunity arose to come back and pursue vengeance. Sure he would have had rage, but it would be much more internal than external with screaming/mood swings etc.
23:44
"I am Maul... 👹"
"This is Savage 🙂"
One of the best scenes in clone wars.
10:40 who else felt like a beast was just roaring out of anger
Lol😂😂
It would’ve been funny if Savage put his hand up like “Sup.”
I love how in the Siege of Mandalore arc, Maul sounds like an utterly insane conspiracy theorist, but it 110% right about everything and could have averted the rise of the Empire.
Most utterly insane conspiracy theorists end up being correct
What I found interesting is how Ashoka heard him out up until he mentioned Anakin being palpatines apprentice, almost as deep inside subconsciously she knew he was right and didn’t want to accept it. I mean she did know anakin pretty much better than anyone, she knew about Padme and I think it’s more than likely she can piece it together
Very likely, it's completely possible Ashoka Believed his honesty but be in denial of the facts.
The conspiracy theorists are often right, especially lately.
It's honestly a pretty unique moment, not just in Star Wars, but in media in general. A nutty man shouting a warning about an evil wizard in control of government to soldiers and people who can theoretically stop it, it's a great concept that deserves to be re-used. Imagine if that happened in real life. If some homeless guy started shouting by the side of the road while he was being arrested, and a few days later the apocalypse actually happens.

You gotta respect Maul and Savage as Sidious actually used his lightsabers against them proving how powerful they really were. And the fact that Sidious actually considered them rivals is a huge compliment to the brothers.
True
I also respect Talzin since she was also a rival to Sidious. Dathomirians are hardcore
Sidings used a tactic of Darrth Banes luring your opponent into believing your power is X amount then dialing it up for the kill up to 110%
It had nothing to do with them being a "challenge." Sidious has said numerous times he found lightsabers pointless as with his level of strength in the force he had no need for a lightsaber seeing it beneath him with how strong he is. He was toying with Maul and Savage he could have killed them a thousand different ways just through the force alone. Neither where a challenge a threat yea sure but no challenge in dispatching them need be if Palpatine felt like it.
@@yoshijb9428 So when Palpatine dueled Yoda with a lightsaber, you're telling me it was because he didn't see Master Yoda as a threat at all? 🤔
His fight with kenobi on tatooine is really symbolic. They both met there, they both lost everything, and meet each other where it all started. His last words, "he will avenge us", are truly depressing.

Maul never met Kenobi on Tattooine. He stayed on the ship the entire time. What movie did you watch?
"He will avenge us!". After all that time hating and hunting Kenobi, his final thoughts were for *both* of them to be avenged... moving in its own twisted way

The way he acted around with Kenobi on his last moments. Like an old friend and comrade... Such a well written scene.
I completely agree, the way his character developed while still maintaining some of his nature is well worth its praise.
The whome final fight was so anazing. Both became so fucused over the years they knew pretty acrobatics would not work and the first exchange of blows would see the winner of the fight. Anf then obi wan takes the same stance qui gon did all those years ago and maul lights up a bit because he knows how to kill obi wan, but the obi knew that maul knew and countered the same exact move that killed his master so many years ago
@@Blutwind Its a testament to the growth of both characters.
Obi Wan had gone from a Padawan helplessly watching his Master and being haunted by guilt for decades to one of the greatest Jedi of all times, able to put aside his emotions in service of the will of the force (which wanted him to protect and guide Luke towards his path)
Maul was never going to win that fight. His anger, thirst for revenge and power clouded his judgement. It made him arrogantly think that he could kill master and apprentice with the same move. Had he been thinking clearly he'd have know Kenobi was bating him into a trap. But in his final moments we see just how far maul had grown. He let go of his anger and need for revenge and in that moment he could feel how the force had guided him and Kenobi to that moment. So that they would be avenged like he so craved
@@nickcollins1052 yup. Maul led himself to death. He gave up.
It was a shit scene - the creature was defeated way too easily.
It strikes me just how different Maul became after Savage died. He got a lot more patient and thoughtful, you can see it. He also became somewhat more... gentle? In a way.
Oh yea! Your right!
I honestly think savage was the first and only time maul had a family, wich is why after his dead he was obsseced with erza being his aprentice
Patient yes, but it didn't eased his revenge. Ohiwan pointed out that darth maul had nothing to gain after dominating Mandalore and killing Satine to spite obiwan.
Far from more gentle. I'd say he became more reserved; able to control his rage and ruthlessness much better.
@@yohumanfrisk
Be more fearful of the man who can control and direct his rage.
Ray Park did a fantastic job portraying Maul in phantom menace and Sam Witwer was an excellent voice actor for Maul in clone wars and rebels. All in all both did Maul justice
Ray only gets to voice a single line in _Phantom Menace,_ but I feel his voice should be given more appreciation. Both Ray and Sam are phenomenal with voicing this man.
@@Alizudo Park did not voice Maul in the phantom menace. Maul’s lines were dubbed over by Peter Serafinowicz, as he had a lower, more intimidating voice than Park.

"You are a rival“ this has to be the sweetest compliment Sidious has ever made
fr, he didn't even refer to luke skywalker or rey marymicsue as rivals
He did say in ROTS that Vader would become more powerful than him and yoda, if that counts
True that was probably the first and only legit compliment Maul ever received from his master at any point in his life.
Well there was that time in the canon comics when Palpatine found out that Vader had been doing a whole bunch of shit behind his back (creating his own personal army of commando droids, acquiring private funds, murdering anyone who gets in his way or threatened to expose him, etc.). But instead of being furious with Vader, Palpatine commends and praises him for his actions since deception and betrayal were the ways of the Sith.
I’d honestly consider that moment the sweetest compliment Palpatine has ever made.
For all of his power, all of his training, all of his ambition, Maul always sought a second. He sought it in young anakin, found and lost it in his brother, and atepmted to regain it in Ezra. The man was alone, and just wanted a true ally. A friend.
Don't forget Ahsoka! He gave her multiple chances to join him too
And the one that might have been a listening ear he hated the most, which was Obi Wan.

Such a good point! Maul never lost his dathomirian roots even though he was torn from his family at such a young age. He always longed for that belonging, especially after he lost his brother and eventually his home planet to Sidious. I think that’s why he almost feels a sense of relief as he is dying in obi wans arms.. finally he can rest knowing that someone has his back, and will avenge his life of suffering
Oh wow, sounds a lot like me. I’m so filled with joy.😒
I love his character in the last season of the clone wars. He knows what is to come, while the rest of the galaxy basically doesn't even suspect a thing.
'This war doesn't matter, the next war does, work with me, not as jedi not as sith but as but pawns to be made kings'
Actually if u remember one trooper learned the truth and in his obsession to reveal it he was killed but also gave proof to rex who did find a way to destroy the programming in him
I mean, it helps he knew a lot of the details from his own time as Sidious’s apprentice. He wasn’t privy to the details, but considering even the Jedi in their monumental stupidity and arrogance almost managed to figure the plot out in time, that’s not much of an excuse.

I honestly like how dangerous Savage is by just throwing a light saber around barely understanding what he's doing. It really makes you wonder what kind of monster he could have been.
had he actually been trained and been taught discipline, he wouldve made an amazing sith.
Maul was the more natural talent, but the nightsisters used their magic to make savage a potent force. With more time they could’ve honed their skills(bc maul must’ve also been a bit rusty) but alas time never seemed to be on mauls side
I wish savage could have survived
Maul is such an epic villain, one of the only villains I ever rooted for since the first time I saw him, way too badass🔥

A True Sith in the best of ways.
Filoni absolutely butchered Maul. He should've wiped the floor with Ashoka.
The guy can keep up with Obi Wan and Sidious but can't even beat a washed out padawan? Talk about plot armor for Filoni's oh so precious character.
@@notapuma He definitely didn’t keep up with Sidious, Sidious was laughing and not even trying the whole time. Dude was toying with him, the moment he got tired of the game he absolutely mopped the floor with Maul.
Remember that Obi-Wan was completely off balance when fighting Maul, Maul used Obi-Wan’s pain to match him. When Obi-Wan centered himself he kept up with Maul, in Rebels we see how Obi-Wan has grown far beyond Maul. We know that being emotionally off balance is a HUGE debuff for force users, both Sith and Jedi suffer in skill and power when they aren’t focused.
Remember also that Ahsoka was trained by Anakin Skywalker, one of the most powerful and skilled Jedi to exist. The Jedi that had Obi-Wan on the back foot for the entire Mustafar duel, the Jedi that bested the amazing duelist that was Dooku on his own. We see that Anakin’s training with Ahsoka was intensive and consuming, she was taught by one of the best.
You don’t have to like Ahsoka or Clone Wars, but don’t pretend they didn’t give reasons for why what happened happened, or that other characters haven’t been given similar plot armor in Star Wars before.
@@notapumahe did defeat her dude, she was no match for him. But he didn’t intend to kill her that is why he „lost“. It was the same way with Kenobi back on Naboo. Kenobi was beaten but Maul didn‘t kill him instantly. And tbf, Ashoka was trained by one of the most powerful Jedi back then.
A broken man, born on a wasteland, raised in hatred, groomed to be an agent of darkness. Raised his entire life to desire power, to be a sith lord, only to be cast aside when a more powerful replacement was found. Bisected, alone and without direction, he lost his mind, barely surviving. Eventually he was given hope again, hope that he could be something greater, hope that he could forge his own destiny alongside his brother, hope that he can have his revenge against the one who took his legs, his place in the sith, his destiny: kenobi. Then, at the precipice of his success, he lost it all again, to the man who forced him into this path, his master, his guide: Darth Sidious. Betrayed by all and alone by circumstance, he was left only with one purpose: revenge. He sought to strike down all those who took everything from him, but at every turn he failed. At the end he sought to kill kenobi, at least he can suffer for everything, at least the man can have this much. Yet again, he fails. Struck down for one final time. The only solace is the promise of kenobi, that there will come a day when sidious will be struck down, one day. The man can die knowing that his revenge will occur, one day.
A broken man, born on a wasteland, died with nothing, no friends, no family, no legs, no name. All he has left is a single word: Maul.

1:14:43 - 1:15:02 sums up why I love this character.
One of the things I love about this character is as much as he tries to distance himself from the Sith he's trapped, their teachings are fundamentally burned into him, he always seeks power and is driven by his want for vengeance all the way up to his death, but the tragedy of him is further shown in the little moments where he does show traces of humanity.
Moments like Savage's death, or his final big moment with Ezra on Dathomir, that whole bit really comes off like he is alone. Sure, he still wants to kill Kenobi, but part of him does want a meaningful connection with someone beyond that.
Kanan: This is my padavan, Ezra.
Maul: . . . .

If Sidious was smart, he would've realized he could've kept Maul around as an apprentice during the time of the Empire. Vader and Maul combined add up to ~1 apprentice, give or take a limb, so it falls within the rule of two.

Oddly, I would genuinely trust Maul.
It's the silky voice of his VA. It's so pretty and...soothing? sometimes.

He assumed the role of his master and started calling him ‘apprentice’, but in that moment he had the concern of a brother

Completely agree. There is a unique purity to Maul and Savage. Not only because they’re brothers, but also because Maul is not anything like other sith. He always maintained his dathomirian roots, and viewed the rule of two as a brotherhood. He possessed respect and trust that most other sith lack

Yeah, so well-written that it was never explained by your dear Filony how exactly he managed to survive from fall damage while being cut in half.

As maul dies it’s like his rage,anger, revenge all goes as he asks if Luke will avenge them. Such a great end to a bitter rivalry.
I find it impressive that the people behind The Clone Wars took what was meant to be a one-off, throwaway antagonist and made him into a face nearly every single Star Wars fan knows as well as Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader. What a journey.
This is character development at its finest
More interesting than ReyMarymcSue despite having less screen time and not being the main character.
Maul is awesome. One of the most interesting characters in star wars because even though he did bad things he wasn't an entirely bad person.
I also find it heartbreaking how lonely he was and how used to betrayal he is.
He really was one or two smart decisions away from being an all time great character that could have been in greater power for a long time, but those key moments that led to loneliness and betrayal really changed his course
Wasnt a bad person. My dude was pure evil no matter the cost I understand his anger but my dude kill innocents without a care to get to one person he failed to kill many times
@@THIEF97 Can't say he's pure evil personally.
I've seen pure evil and pure evil doesn't care if his brother gets hurt or dies. Pure evil doesn't seek out an apprentice just to have a connection with someone.
The only connections pure evil wants are the ones that benefit them and can be controlled or cut off. That ain't Maul.
Sure he's evil, but not entirely. I'd never call him pure evil.
Not pure evil. Both sides of the force are guilty of spilling innocent blood one way or another.
Maul has a lot more layers to his life that I think calling him "pure evil" is over simplifying him.
He's evil and therefore has evil tendencies because this is how he was taught. For the better half of his early life Maul was trained as a relentless killing machine for Sidious. You can't blame an attack dog for acting how it was raised.
Pure evil is remorseless and gives no shits about anything but itself. And as we see how Maul turns out in Rebels it's very clear losing both his mother and brother have taken quite a toll on him.
Once Sidious considered Maul useless, his whole life crumbled and he spent the rest of it trying to find some form of purpose. And he spiraled even further into fear and confusion the more Sidious took from him. That's not pure evil, that's desperation that's been turned into aggression.

Evil was all that Maul knew how to be- when he had Savage, all he knew was how to be a master. He knew nothing of how to be a brother. Evil was taught to him until that was all he knew. After he lost Savage, all his hatred really covered the hole in his heart- notice how he reacts when Savage is injured and killed. He cared for his brother but didn't know how to do so. And when he meets Ezra, the first person he has talked to in years, he tries to use him to fill the gaping void. Maul might be evil, but beneath all that ingrained and tutored hate, all he was, was lonely.
nah, some people are straight up villains
@@joshmarden9933 yes, such as sidious was, it's shown hundreds of times that maul could've been a jedi or simply a nightbrother, if sidious didn't get there first, rage became mauls blood, when he finally died, the realization hit, and he was neutral once more.
I know that Maul is antagonist, but still I can't help but feel sorry for him.
Darth Maul is one of my absolute favorites based on stories. Before being cut in half, it felt like all he wanted was to kill as many Jedi as he could, but he was reckless which caused him defeat. After Savage found him, Maul felt more like a politician who would plan out attacks instead of being reckless which gave him so many victories. 2 more of my favorites based on stories is General Grievous and Galen Marek.
I love Maul’s lines in Clone Wars season 7 episode 10 “Phantom Apprentice.” A lot of what he said was true about the fall of the republic and Anakin’s fall to the dark side. But the time of Jedi had not passed, not yet.
Darth Maul truly is the Boba Fett of the prequels;
Barely shown in the movies with barely any story background, but has much more stories outside that make them very beloved by fans.
i feel so bad for maul, look how calm he was in phantom menace, but after his loss everything changed
After he loses Savage, he regains some of that calm and focus. The loss of his brother helped to ground him again, I feel.
Good character development
Same that's the power of grief and loss losing everything you stood for to 1 single person (Tbh I don't blame maul for wanting vengeance against Kenobi) and let's be real by the time it got to the siege of mandalore that's what maul truly wanted (other then revenge against Kenobi and preventing order 66 indirectly) to gain what he thought would of got if he didn't get cut in half all those years ago
Lets be honest with ourselves, we'd all jump at the chance to be Mauls apprentice.

One of the BEST villians in all of Star Wars, he was so so cool and had a deep story that made you sympathize with him. He is my favorite character in all of Star Wars (Second only to Anakin Skywalker, and Palpatine)
I see him more as an anti-hero than a villain. Anakin chose his path. Maul didn't. Maul lost everything he cared about because of Kenobi and Sidious. The Sith ruined his life. He had no choice. His main flaw was revenge. It was what finally killed him but in the end his suffering finally was over and Kenobi gave him hope one last time before he died by knowing that the Sith would one day be destroyed by the chosen one.

Difference being that Kratos got his redemption. The only semblance of redemption Maul found was in death
20:30 that is the most heartwarming, best brothers scene I've ever seen.
Also: when I saw darth maul in the phantom menace I didn't expect him to be that cool and fearing. He just started getting impressive to me in the clone wars. His death in the phantom menace was truly disappointing and unsatisfying.
Darth Maul is probably one of the only star wars characters alongside Vader who is great in every single thing he's in.
Sam Witwer is a global treasure. He transformed a generic, freak looking villain into one of the most pathos filled, complex, and badass characters in Star Wars, along with the writing for his character
41:56 Maul: "Not yet"
(In his mind: "Ahsoka Tano turned out to be interesting" ... "I think I found my equal, I like her" ... "She will help me defeat Sidious")
If only Ahsoka had teamed up with Maul, the story would have been different. They would be unstoppable.
I admire and respect Maul very much
I know it would be sick to see, and they share a similar Viewpoint because both were betrayed by their Former Allies, Maul by Palpatine/Sidious, Ahsoka by the Jedi Council. But Maul was trained to be more of an Assasin, a good Duelist but not a match to Sidious in the ways of the Force. And Ahsoka also fills a similar Role. If they were to engage the Sith Lord, they would be killed for they are not a Threat but still a nuisance in Sidious' Eyes, and he wouldn't have a Use for Maul or Ahsoka, they would be killed with relative ease.
Unstoppable? Literally anyone on either side could have taken them both on at the same time. Yoda, Luke, Vader, Sidius.
10:01 the face when you are high
@@tylerrassi4148 Definitely not Luke, maybe not Anakin. Even in RotJ Luke only won because of his connection to Anakin, his father. Maul has also consitently beaten Obi-Wan in every exchange save for his final moments, and only back-pedals when something close to him is threatened.
Obi-Wan beat Anakin, Maul beats Obi-Wan when not having to worry about another, Maul could potentially beat Anakin. Although Anakin's turn to the Dark Side would also be incredibly fresh and have that additional initial surge of quick-reward power, so Maul could definitely lose against full-Sith Anakin. He already admits that he'd lose against Vader, too. We've already seen that he looses against Sidious, although he did force Sidious to take him seriously for a quick moment, something only Yoda has ever been able to do.
Ultimately, I'd say a proper Ahsoka-Maul team-up loses against Sidious, probably Yoda, win against Obi-Wan, win against Light Side Anakin and lose against Dark Side Anakin (maybe).
The way Maul was fleshed out, how they added depth to his character. Really good stuff

Went from a character with a cool design and one of, if not THE best choreographed fights in the series (I like to imagine that he planned out a whole route for his fight based on how he fought at different stages, particularly with how quickly he switches from defence to offence the moment he had a guaranteed 1v1 with Qui-Gon without a chance of interruption from Obi-Wan) to one of the best written characters in the series
I’m so glad they expanded on darth maul more beyond just the first episode. Now he’s one of the most legendary siths of all time
The fact he came back from the ashes (with the help of savage and mother talizen) united 2 crime syndicates became leader of death watch and ruler of mandalore (with Accordance to mandaloren tradition) and overthrown the hutts really shows how efficient his planning is and his understanding of how the galaxy works not in the political way but in the way to survive (even though it changed since he was cut in half) in my opinion darth maul would of done a better job running the empire than sidous (maul ran his empire based on over zealous loyalty to him while sidious ran has empire based on fear and loyalty is harder to break than fear)
I love Sam Witwer's work. I actually met him back at the Force Unleashed launch party in SF in 2008. His voice as Starkiller is iconic. So when I found out he was casted to voice Darth Maul, I was excited. And hearing the aggressive and low tone he puts on for Maul sells it for me. But I always find it awesome how when Sam Witwer says certain lines in certain tones like at 1:01:06 you can hear some Starkiller coming out.

@@pinheadnate8799 as is ur pathetic comments 🤡
9:08 I never really noticed it before, but Maul's legs don't fall off until he is rendered unconscious. This implies that he spent years holding his legs together through sheer force of will.
Everyone knows that
@@ErykRoll you don’t know that
@@SonOfABith seriously, everyone knows that or at least true fans
@@ErykRoll not everyone is as dedicated to it as others
@@SonOfABith if only
Keep this in mind! Losing limbs and living tissue permanently reduces your strength in the force (due to having less Midichlorians). This guy accomplished all this with his force potential cut in half!!!
I feel so bad for him sometimes
He was so close but so far
There's so much to be said about maul. He was raised to be a disposable pawn, stopped every time he came close to achieving his own goals, and became so desperate for revenge that he threw everything away. You can hear it in his voice come rebels. He has nothing left, he just wants revenge, revenge for not being able to be something else, something more than what he was. When he died, he died with a consolation, at least someone would pay for what he went through.
@@dragonlord3376 I agree he went from being a “son” to the most powerful being in the galaxy only rivaled in the force by yoda and windu to discarded trash and when he was found by his brother and once again became powerful sidious killed his brother and tortured him then once again abandoning him only to be killed by Obi Wan after years of abandonment and torment
Well you are the reason for everything bad in his life (with a little help of our beloved General Kenobi)
@@fabiansproer378 yes my best memories are torturing maul and using him as a pawn in my game
This is outrageous, its unfair. How can one be cut in half and still not be dead?
Take a seat, old man
It's the power of the Force. His hatred fueling the power of the Dark Side kept him alive.
Because he had the high ground
@@EmptyMan000 it’s just plot armour let’s be honest
That plus a lightsaber cauterizes wounds rather than letting him bleed out
14:46 I love how they gave Maul that beastly ass roar to show how muc of a raging animal he is
