Darth Maul captured so many hearts and minds when he was first aired on the Phantom Menace commercial before its theatrical release. A new crazy sith with a never before seen lightsaber! what a time to be alive. Well little did we know Maul would easily become a fan favorite and span his story over the decades into the clones wars and after! Let's pay homage to a true sith and the last great Dark Lord of the Sith! Happy Revenge of the 5th! - บันเทิง
What sucked so much about the prequels was that Maul, Jinn, Dooku and Windu didn’t get nearly as much screen time as needed.
It's why Ahsoka took Maul so seriously in the final arc she saw him as a real threat while the other Jedi were worried about a fake war..
"That's just a politician with way too much superpower." 🤣 That sums up Sidious perfectly.
Lol so true
Absolutely! Maul was taught to be a Sith Warrior while Sidious only ever cared about his power and the Sith legacy was just an afterthought. Maul embodied what a Sith truly was while Sidious only twisted things to fit his own narratives.
Darth Maul is my #1 favorite character in Star Wars and I thank you for giving him the credit he deserves
Same
2:46 With the Hutts under his command, Maul had already taken over an entire third of the known galaxy! If Maul and the Shadow Collective hadn't gone into hiding and the Republic & the Sith hadn't both attacked him at the same time Maul would've lasted with his syndicate, probably until the Sequels, speaking of which, Maul would've been the main antagonist of those sequels if Disney fully listened to what people wanted.
Maul made his own plan while all the other sith in his time followed Plagues grand design let that sink in....
It wasn't just Plaguis this concept of taking over from within was originally Plaguis's Masters idea. Plaguis just changed the plan a little bit
@@FantomMisfit yeah, that was tenebrous’ idea. At least I thought it was
@jonnytlong Yes although Tenebrous's idea was to to go for the eco win and own everything that way Plaguis tweaked it to what we saw Edit: Tenebrous also had no intentions of fighting the Jedi. Why kill them when you can control them
I think that Bane would have been fond of Maul because Maul always put the Sith before himself. Bane thought the exact same way. Both of them were obsessively dedicated and loyal to the ways of the Sith, and would do anything to gain vengeance or power for the sake of their Order.
Yeah as a Sith Lord myself, I agree with this 💯
This is the most convincing argument I’ve heard in years! You have convinced me, sir.
Maul and his brother's relationship would have been different since they were blood I suppose.
Please make more videos like this.
I will be releasing a new video like it this week
Sidious was indeed powerful, especially in Legends but I agree that he just didn't have the Sith grindset that Maul does. Maul if nothing else embodied the passion that supposed to embody the Sith whearas Sidious was more of a self centered tyrant who just happened to be a Sith. Not saying his control over the dark side wasn't insane but he just didn't have the same hunger that you can see with Maul. I'm glad you made this video because I never really thought of how Maul's near unhinged obsessions actually made him the truer Sith of the two.
Great comment! You have seen the whole reason why I made this video. Your points were 100% on the dot.
Very interesting take. I think in terms of upholding the sith order, Maul was the best of his era and the best successor to the Banite line. Regardless of his dedication though, he simply wasn’t as strong as Dooku, Vader, or Sidious so he would never be able to succeed in becoming the foremost sith master. And I think it’s interesting that Maul was the one with the most dedication to the Sith despite only being raised originally as just another throw away assassin.
Maul truly broke his chains
I've thought this for a while. Good take.
Good video! I like your perspective
Many thanks!
Sidious was just a darkside user pretending to be a Sith .
While I do love Sidious, I believe that Maul was the most dedicated to the Sith out of all of the Sith Lords we've seen in the Skywalker Saga. Which makes sense, because Maul was straight up born and raised a Sith. His every thought and action was about unending hate, thirst for revenge, and conquest. But I think Maul went about ruling his empire better than Sidious would have. Ol' Sheev was a brilliant strategist, but he essentially relied on Vader and Thrawn to do his dirty work once the Jedi were all but wiped out. Maul had his goons too, but he was always watching them like a hawk, and his influence was so powerful that even Jabba, the Black Sun and the Pykes were terrified of him. If Maul ended up killing Sidious, taking Vader as his apprentice, conquered the Empire, along with having all of the crime families under his command? He would have been unstoppable.
Vader would never be Mauls apprentice
I reckon Maul would have to go through Vader to get to Palps
@@user-zz7zh7yv3t
I believe that if Maul would’ve finished off Obi Wan in Episode I then Vader very likely could’ve been Darth Maul’s apprentice since Darth Maul would’ve definitely found a way to end Darth Sidious by the end of the Clone Wars since he wouldn’t have lost half of his body mass and thus would’ve became far more powerful than he did in the canon timeline
Maul’s story was just mad!
First time I actually hear this point of view and.... you're on to something indeed. Interesting take
From an EU Legends perspective, I also have to say Maul was the last truly great Sith Lord. Krayt’s legacy was a failure, Sidious fell in a hole 20 years after getting galactic dominance in the most avoidable way possible, and Dooku was merely there for housekeeping. Meanwhile Maul is still alive and going by Legacy if we count that Darth Maul Legacy game that had Lucas G-canon involvement.
In Legends, Darth Maul was one of the most powerful and highly trained Sith Lords of all time. He took Sidious’ training and evolved it.
This is one of my favorite videos about Darth Maul ever
This video was put in my favorite folder instantly
Many thanks!
I agree, and I did the same thing
Bro! I wish i could just show this video to every person that says Maul was never a true sith, how he was just a "sith assassin" (well now i can at least mention your video! I never could articulate why but you did an amazing job!) those comments really grind my gears lol
Thank you so much! That is one of the most beautiful things about Star Wars. It means something else to everyone, from a certian point of view! (We just know we are right haha)
bro your so on point maul really is a real sith, no gonna lie you make an excellent point im glad you posted tho thank you and may the force be with you
Darth Maul is my favorite character and I 100% agree!
Maul was all about fair combat and taking things with brute force . Not hiding like a coward
Darth Malgus would approve.
I just wish Darth Maul was stronger or at least have some forgotten son or apprentice for a comeback revenge story or something. I guess we got the Force Unleashed with Vaders Apprentice...the dark side is just so much more interesting than the boring Jedi.
If the Sith Empire survived even up to the Clone Wars, Darth Maul would made the rightful heir to the Sith imperial throne.
That's why Sheep "pimp" Palpatine chose Maul in the first place. And Palpatine literally was the only man to challenge the force. That's like challenging God
that's not true at all. Darth Noctyss and Darth Sanguise both went to Exagol and found a close but not perfect immortally cheat. The whole point of the Sith is to control and conquer the force. They dont want to use the force they want to dominate it.
@dxundownload8635 Palpatine literally took on the person who the force deemed was to kill him.(Which Vader soon did) Palpatine turned the chosen one against his own people and greatly affected the Balance of the force. He wasn't the only sith to go against the force, but the was the one who came closest to actually beating it.
Yeah and maul was just an overpowered conqueror,
The Dxun Moon was something i heard from Jango Fett when i was a kid. I love Star Wars
I enjoyed your analysis. I agree with your assessment.
great video mate
I second this
Very well articulated. I myself am a follower of Darth maul. The true last sith of the rule of 2.
Good vid and love the tats brother 💪
Hell yeah man I'm with ya maul was the best sith as much as I love Vader he was controlled and took orders from people that was not his master lol
Your right except in the sith empire whet your master was not the only one you answered to because your master was below many others
@@user-kq2oo5ps4vYeah you did what you were told or you died or you and the boys gank
Worth noting that in legends he never ever took orders from any other than sidious
I agree. Sidious had zero intentions of letting Vader take the reigns of the Sith. Even if Vader would have had them ambition to do so. Maul is one of my favorite characters for sure.
Sideous was going to train Vader to be the dark lord of the sith. But after vaders defeat palpatine didn’t deem him worthy
1:59 did we forget the part where sidious solo rolled up on Maul and Savage on mandalore oooooorrr?
Again. I've never said that Sidious isn't powerful. He's just a really horrible sith lord and mentor
I agree with everything you said. But i would also like to add that Palpatine is the natural end point of what the rule of two leads to. If not Palpatine, then later someone else would rise to incredible levels of power due to immense greed and that would fuel that greed even further, to the point when the individual would hoard every Sith teaching for themself, not caring for anything aside from their own gain. Maul is a great example of what Bane must've envisioned a proper Sith Lord must be like, but Palpatine is the inevitability of the Sith order and its eventual ultimate downfall.
hell yea! i clicked the like when it was on 420 😎😎
you wanna buy some death sticks! lol
Dxun!! love the throw back! kotor 2 lets go
Darth Sidious never had more than one apprentice at a time. And Inquisitors are not sith, they never learned the sith ways they just used the dark side a bit but it was more a manipulation tactic.
Yeah and he gave them to vader anyway
I feel they were sith in everything but name. Which many of them considered themselves sith. Rise fo the Red Blade even shows us they were allowed to study some dark side and sith teachings all as a ploy. Like you said manipulative tactics by using the very code and doctrine he walked all over ro bind those. Asajj thought of herself as Sith many times.
Besides the inquisitors he also had emperor’s hands (I’m pretty sure that’s what they’re called. Whatever Mara Jade was). Those all were kinda like apprentices even if he didn’t come right out and call them that.
Every sith has to be overthrown once the apprentice is stronger than the master. That’s the whole deal. It’s the only way they keep getting stronger.
@@jonnytlong the emperor's hands as far as I know were legends not cannon but yeah they existed
@@serlusacan3880 I think you’re right but still
Why is that the "right" way? Palpatine largely succeeded with his approach. It seems like you prefer Maul therefore his way is better, which isn't proper justification for an argument.
Also I need justification for sidious not caring about the dark side lol.
Cool video though, liked
Sidious wanted to be the immortal sith ruler like his master before him. That is not the sith way. Their original teachings thought that even as the master collects and hordes power, they should then share that power with their apprentice to further their power in the darkside and make sure if the master fails thaycthe apprentice is there. A sith lord is supposed to foster the darkness. Sidious never dis that. He never taught a single of his apprentices anything other than pain. Dooku knew force lighting before hand, Anakin used force choke as a jedi, maul, even though he was powerful in the force, and was never taught anything other than fighting. Sidiois handicapped his own followers and only shared things he knew both his apprentices and the inquisitors could not gain anything from.
Palps is the best VILLIAN, lol. Not sith imo.
Sidious only cares about his goals and not furthering the sith. I hardly call him a sith personally.
@@dxundownload8635 Yes! This is the crux! Sidious IMO is one of the best VILLAINS ever written - but not a true SITH. Sidious was more of a black hole rather than a RULER!
Darth maul was definitely a badass character. From his looks to his saber he kicked ass. Qui gon and obi kinda slipped by double teaming him 2 on 1 is isnt fair and just made them look like sloppy cheaters desperate and outshined by maul. How careless qui gon was by getting cocky and fighting without his back up, when they were both attacking him he was still dominant and honestly i dont think maul should have lost, why couldn't they have given him a force power when he was halved letting his top half levitate and force choke and the legs fight too lol, turn into 2 people on h
Them. Qui gons injury was instantly cauterized and shouldnt had been fatal either
Honestly, I felt Palpatine got maul and said to himself "do over"
I watched 100% of this video
Many thanks!
❤️
Good points. Would have been interesting if Maul had been the big bad in the sequel trilogy like George Lucas had originally conceived
Correct, indeed
Maul is just a conqueror with too much power
Ah so we agree. The ideal sith
Maul was the last true Bane era Sith. Palpatine tried to meld Bane's and brotherhood ideologies. In Legends there was a real deep dive into different Sith ideologies and how by Palpatine's time the Rule of Two was all but defunct. It's too bad that the new canon never sought to expound upon this.
It very likely still will. the next set of trilogy movies will have to introduce some new ideology, and I'm excited for that.
Sideous claimed maul was no longer a sith. But I reject that claim. I say maul was a true sith lord fr
Mabye Maul should be a sith force ghost....Also he trained Qira who is not even force sensitive and she put up a better fight than some Jedi who fought him lol .
Force Ghost maul would be fun. Hopefully he made a holocron or something
@dxundownload8635 He dose have a holocron Qira has it I believe but of course she can't open it...mabye a sith will open it one day.His spirit could attach to the object...
I agree and disagree. Darth bane said the sith should be like shadows and sidious embodies that philosophy perfectly, but you are right darth sidious lost his ambition as soon as there was no threat in the Galaxy. Sidious deep down just wanted to crush the enemies and not actually rule an empire.
While I love Vader more, I have to agree with you. You bring up some great points. Also, as far as I know Maul didn't kill kids so that's a plus. 😂
defiantly a plus! lol Yeah maul would have just taken them all and taught them to be his goons
Sidious being selfish is the nature of the sith and him being so is normal Ro2 is meant to be cover the weakness which the sith already has
Its a good analysis but a lot of it is a huge stretch, like saying palpatine wasn't a true sith because he didn't fight battles himself. That's was the only way to defeat and overthrow the jedi which is something darth bane realized 1000 years ago. Maul's method of open war and conquering was not efficient and possible to defeat 10 000 jedi. Sidious did expand the empire and bits of this are shown throughout all the shows, both animated and live action.
Palpatine cared about the rule until Anakin got put in that suit. He really wanted him to replace him as the true sith lord
Palps wanted his body more then anakin. I'm pretty sure he planned to essence transfer just like he was trying with Rey
darth maul should be called "darth garbidge" he begs for hes mercy in the clone wars and he is a tryhard edgelord.. he is an embaressment to the sith
Why does the Sith want the jedi gone.
Slavery
Only whit jedi destroyed can slavery be defeated!
maul is my faviort chareter
He won over a entire generation of 90's kids as well
@@dxundownload8635 im not evean a 90's kid im sadly a gen ahlph/2013
I would say the master before Tenebrous. As far as we know he did not raise two disciples or try to circumvent the rule of two. They would also have worked on furthering the sith plan for better or worse.
true, indeed u are
The rule of two...
Is the dumbest thing ever. The abilities and fighting techniques would be lost to time in just a few masters and apprentices.....
Imagine you know everything about the dark side, but you don't want to die, so you only train your apprentice in about 70% of your dark side knowledge. You finally get too old or sick and he kills you.
Your apprentice is a 70% dark sider. He takes an apprentice. He only teaches that apprentice to 70% of what the master knows.....
Do this 2 or 3 more times, and you have no powers or skill....and no sith left.
100% Banes misinterpretation of Revans holocron destroyed the true Sith Empire! Revan only meant for 1 Sith master to have 1 apprentice so they couldn't band there minor strengths together. But after the student becomes the master they would still have to fight there piers and others lords
Do sith take pride in when their apprentices succeed them?
I would say yes. They feel pride knowing the stronger sith will continue and grow in more power. But still, anger and resentment at becoming weak enough to be taken out.
Ofc was palpi a sith.......every sith since baine had a public live.....in a certain way..... Palpi had more power as yoda .....yoda was 900 years old and had no chance.... yoda was literally the avatar of the light side and still lost
Ofcourse sidious is not a real sith ..he didn’t even take his master down through one on one combat like the tradition calls for ..
Right! Bane would hate palpatine. He knew he had to wait for Plagueis to be weak.
@@dxundownload8635 right he was so thirsty for power he couldn’t wait and absorb all the knowledge from plagueis he could then gave him a honorable death in sith tradition ..this tradition ensures that the next generation of sith get stronger and stronger….sidious is only loyal to himself not the order of the Sith Lords ..a disgrace ..
Uhm i see your point about sideous and maul an i believe your right but even so sideous was supposed to be the last sith due to the fact he wielded so much power an it was a double edge sword because it made him cocky an complacent like the jedi he had vader wipe out
True points
Exactly 💯 Darth Sidious destroyed the Sith
Sidious wrecked Maul... So Sidious wrecked the best Sith. 🤔
No he wasnt he was just a sith assassin used by Palpatine
Youre judging a "true sith," entirely by Rule of Two standards. I would argue that as a false equivalnce when strictly conversing about the sith from the movies compared to the sith that came before, and the sith that followed them for SEVERAL reasons.
1. Darth Maul within the Plaguies novel that you referenced was strictly trained as an Assassin under Palpatine. While he may have been noted as a true successor before Anakin came along from other sources, he was not a complete Sith to the same extent Vader and Dooku were incomplete. In this case it would be his training. Sith Assassins served a lesser role, and were usually treated as disposable. This is also why Plaguies let Palpatine get away with training Maul, knowing full well he was dubbed "Darth." He found Maul lacking.
2. Palpatine himself on multiple occasions was "blessed," by the darkside. In the Plaguies novel, even though he killed his master through dishonorable means, the power no longer being shared between the two, and infusing itself into Palpatine, was described as almost an event that was meant to be from Sidious's perspective. Furthermore from the Dark Empire story that came out almost 15 years before this novel, the means Palpatine could ressurect was because the Sith spirits enpowered him enough so he could keep willing himself out of Hell. The Sith spirits prior to this in ANH according to the book of the Sith, tried to kill Palpatine for trying to aquire their knowledge. At this point in the story he would have to be considered a worthy Sith for them to give him everything they had. An "overpowered politician," is like me describing, Hitler as a "small angry man," the destruction and chaos they rought on their worlds was and is still unfathomable, and these descriptors are too limiting as a means to characterize them.
3. The only reason that Palpatine hoarded knowledge for himself, was because in a way he was correct. He honored the rule of two in a ceremonial sense up to Vader, however it was obsolete. The entire purpose of the rule of two was to subvert the Jedi from the shadows. They achieved that Goal, and wiped them off the face of thr Galaxy, and ruled in a legitimate capscity for over 20 years.
Maul embodying key aspects of a "Rule of two sith," doesnt diminish Vader, Tyranus, or Palpatine at all for the mark they left on the title of "Sith Lord." They all do to a certain extent, and represent Sith ideals in their own right.
Yes my master i'll do your biden
I think Vader could have been a truly great Sith, but he never got the opportunity while under Sidious' thumb. I hate Sidious.
That's a fun idea! I'll definitely be thinking up a video for if Maul taught anakin
@@dxundownload8635 Ah, but when to start? When Anakin was still a child? Or if he went to Mandalore instead of Ahsoka? (I vote the latter)
Anakin/Vader was a warrior to a core. A conqueror. He never was a schemer like Palpatine; his home was the battlefield. The Inquisitorious wasn't his idea. He wanted to hunt Jedi *personally*. It was Sidious who told him to lead and train that bunch.
@dianabarnett6886 yes I'm already crazy with ideas and writing a theory on his fall to Maul at Mandalor
Brilliant video except you contradict yourself. Maul was not a Sith Lord. He was a Sith warrior. You said so yourself but then go on about how great a Sith lord he was. He never was unless you want to consider his rule of either a criminal syndicate or Mandalore. Sydious, like him or dislike him, was a Sith Lord. He did conquer the Republic and held it for twenty years and wiped out the Jedi Order. Very few Sith Lords managed the first, and only one other did the second one. PS: He took out three Jedi Masters including Kit Fisto in less time than it took me to write this.
I feel you forget the part of the Rule of 2 where both are considered Darth. Which is a title for a sith lord only. The only difference in "roles" is master and apprentice. But both are still considered Darths, hence the names given to them by sidious. Also sidious did NONE of those things himself. He was merely the sith in power at the time the trap was sprung.
@@dxundownload8635 A fair point. I had not considered the implication of the rule of two.
Palpatine also didn't teach Maul to his full potential, Because he was the son of Mother Talzin, his potential of that dark magic from another Galaxy, and being fully taught from palpatine would have surely allowed Maul to overthrow Sideous. To learn everything from Lord Sideous and be super powerful with dark magic, The Jedi would have been outmatched and outclassed in every way. In palpatines hubris and lust for power, he in fact brought the end of the Sith, at least for the time being.
You will really enjoy my next video. It's all about how the eternal sith killed the rule of 2 and the sith
you should create a series on the idiocy of the sith and the jedi
Maybe story wise I too like maul better but let’s not forget Palestine manhandle maul and savage oppress easy at the same time lol
Agreed 100% Maul was a true sith and should have succeeded Palpatine and continued the rule of 2
Palpatine may have been the most powerful sith of all time . But the old sith would hate him . He didn’t make people suffer or take over the planets and making plannets suffer .
No... Maul not true sith
the only thing maul knew about the sith was what palps told him. palps also killed a couple jedi masters and maul and savage. so there is that. maul killed qui-gon and then got beat by kenobi, an apprentice. yeah, he sounds like a true sith.
Sidious is definitely powerful. He is just a horrible teacher. Sidiois doesn't teach anything aside from using your anger. Normally, the anger placed at him for their torture. That's not training it's just abuse under a cult doctrine that eas loosely followed
Kenobi by that point was a knight in all but name. Killing a master and only then losing to a knight because you thought you already won is still an accomplishment.
Meanwhile Sidious doesn’t even die in real combat Vader just yeets him.
Sith are ultimately all the same: SELFISH. Their closest analog in the real world is libertarians.
Remember the part where Sidious and Vader dismantled the Republic and left everyone alone, never replacing it with an empire let alone one with a standing army? Me neither
i didnt mean to watch this whole video i was driving lol
i think sidous realised there would be little to be gained on ground battles even know he could easily best those battlefields if he wanted, hence his force storm, saying the emperor did nothing tho kinda defeats the concept of an empire, they conquered worlds didn't they ?
Maul just wasn't on the same scale as the true sithari
Sidious kick Mauls ass though with ease
Why fight if you do not have to
