@@iliass2002 thank you
Sam Witwer said in an interview before he got the gig voicing Maul he actually had a conversation with a friend asking hypothetically if Maul had survived getting cut in half what kind of suffering would he have gone through? So he was oddly prepared for the role 👌👌
True, bro knows what he's doing.
“He will avenge us”
People *really* don’t grasp JUST how heinous and vile Palpatine really is…
What he did to Maul might be one of his worst crimes.
He turned a two year old into a monster.
@@jackmclean4120basically bred him to be a killer
@@tufab3494and killed his brother after casting maul aside like trash for dooku to replace him
In the words of George Lucas
"Star Wars is about the Mesiah who accidentally sold his soul to the Devil"
Palpatine is the Devil.
Anakin is the Mesiah but also Lucifer at the sametime.
then they ruined it with 7 8 and 9. unless they somehow fix it with the ahsoka/mando shit, im lo key gonna forget that 7 8 and 9 happened and not consider them canon
Each of Palpatine’s apprentices represent the three tenants of the Sith.
Maul-Hatred
Dooku-Fear
Vader-Pain
It’s like poetry...
And palpatine himself is control
delete pfp
@@bbp2930 They rhyme
Palpatine should have died when i threw him. Pathetic
Clone Wars took the most disposable character in the saga and turned him in to one of the best villains in mf history
Maul: I was was not privy to my masters plan, but now...
*clone wars nods*
Unpopular opinion- the best villain in history
Yet, I feel disappointed because in this serie, they could have done a similar thing without having to resurect Maul. They could have done it for Grievous, so we could have a wonderful vilain instead of a moron.
@@Confused_surprise I would certainly say grievous has more charm and personality in clone wars than in the prequels (to be honest all the characters do).
But, I think Darth Maul screamed the most wasted potential out of all the star wars characters. It wasnt about resurrecting him (although that does present an excellent conflict between him and obiwan), it was more about giving him that potential he deserved.
@@glendarjj3991 well I agree. Maul was indeed a wonderful character in this serie, and the best ennemy for Obi Wan.
But still, I would have liked to see a good general Grievous. Because even if he have more charm, he sucks. Like, a lot.
To me Grievous is one of the best character in all of the Clone War, and in Legend, he had one of the best back story. I am just disappointed they made him a moron incapable of killing one single jedi (and that one time with Fisto's padawan doesn't count, because he used a blaster).
He was better in the 2003 show.
Did you notice I like Grievous? If not, then I'll tell you : I like Grievous XD
Mauls freakout at the end of The Clone Wars when he was shouting "We're all going to die! You don't know what you're doing!" is so foreboding and terrifying considering the next episode after is Order 66.
Maul Knew What Was Going To Happen.
@@WallNutBreaker524He kinda knew but not really
2:24 "YOUR ALL GOING TO BURN, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!" That somehow shook me to the core when he said that...
i mean... he wasn't wrong
Of all characters, maul begging to be let go, to die is a testament to how terrifying and traumatic order 66 was to both Jedi, and Sith. No one was ready for the inevitable moment that everything changed.
"You're".
This is such a haunting scene, you can hear the panic in his voice at the thought of being returned to Palpatine
@@NixonRules963 Now that you've mentioned it, I really feel bad for Maul, literally.
-Tell me, is he the chosen one?
-He is.
-He will avenge us.
Took me a little bit to realize that was like
Luke
Dylan Hayes I think he probably meant anakin, the chosen one prophecy clearly states the chosen one will be born without a father, Luke had a father
@@traktor420 or did he? Anakin was his father but he died and became darth vader
@@traktor420 Luke kind of didn't have a father though. He was raised by his aunt and uncle, and he called them as such. He didn't find his biological father until he was an adult, and Darth Vader was his enemy until just before his death. I can see that as being a solid interpretation of a 'fatherless' chosen one.
The sad thing is Darth Maul had no choice, Anakin Did.
Actually, Filoni states how Maul keeps choosing the life that makes him suffer and had he learned to let to, he wouldn't be failing.
@@alexdeghost2729 that's just the thing is he can't let go he is so filled with hatred and has been suffering for his entire life that he just keeps choosing the only thing he knows.
@@MattcraftMSTR Which eventaly leads to his demise.
Maul had a choice
@@alexdeghost2729 ok anakin lover did you forget he was taken his brother was killed he has nonthing literally nonthing left just anger and that fire was overtaking him
The saddest thing about it:
It wouldn’t have stopped at kenobi
It wouldn’t have stopped at Ashoka
It wouldn’t even have stopped at palpatine
No level of vengeance could have filled the void of feeling wronged that maul had. Nothing could’ve brought him the closure he felt he deserved.
He was based
He was a narcissist
His goal wasn't just revenge, but ultimately to gain as much power as possible, which is the goal of the Sith. I think had the original sequel trilogy idea been implanted instead of that abomination we got from Disney, we would have seen a somewhat different Maul, less fueled by hatred and more by a desire for regaining power he once held onto.
@@teddybrooks5836 yes he was supposed to be the head of an underground criminal syndicate.
"There is no solace in vengeance. There is no purpose in hatred. Because one day There will come a time when you've killed every last thing in the world, and when that time comes, the only person left to hate will be yourself"
That "He will avenge us" hits more different than I think any of us can understand. Maul is a masterpiece of a character.
its the fact that revenge and avenging are different, saying avenge means he finally, at least partially, let go of his hate in his final moments.
"He will avenge us"
Us = me and my brother
Us = me and Anakin
Us = me and you, Kenobi
I was thinking the whole war with clones and droids. the senators, the innocent people, plus Anakin, his brother, Kenobi, and himself (of course).
@@kelpokun1624 yea
my brother and I, Anakin and I, You and I***
I like to think "us" means "everyone the Sith hurt."
@@CalredicI feel like it actually meant everything Palpatine hurt
Mauls voice actor is so freaking good.
Sam Witwer.
His french voice actor is...divine. According to me
Star killer is voiced by him too
Sam Witwer
He plays Starkiller/Galen Marek in The Force Unleashed and The Son in the Mortis arc of Clone Wars
@@Luc42 He also plays palpatine in TFU
"Look what I've risen above"
Actually a great template for a comeback.
I agree
I cannot express in words how happy I am that someone else noticed Maul got got because he tried to use the same move he iced Qui Gon with
such an awesome detail
He wasn’t even evil he was just broken
I was hoping for Kenboi......why are you here?
Like you
all villains are just broken heroes.
I’m sure u can relate
The darkside corrupts people and destroys their spirit, leaving them to be a broken shadow only to hate. That happened to you top Anakin. If we only had notice early that we did everything wrong... If we only had noticed
The writing of Maul made him good sure, but Sam Witwer's acting made him truly legendary.
no question, sam witwer's acting in the role is truly art.
He has a twitch channel now, I was watching him play battlefront 2 a couple weeks ago
WE NEED A STAR WARS MOVIE/SHOW WITH SAM WITWER ! HE DESERVES THIS SO MUCH !
@@legogeneralgreivous8651 what’s his Twitch??
@@krispyskywalker7449 twitch.tv/samwitwer
“Is he the chosen one?”
“Yes..”
“He shall avenge us both”
Straight shivers knowing that the hatred Maul felt was pain of betrayal and everting he had been put through just to finally give into his light side at death hoping this child would be the one to avenge everything he had endured
He finally admitted to himself that the hate he felt, was not for Obi-Wan. It was for the Emperor.
And he was right. Vader did indeed kill Palpatine.
@@shriharihudli8596 interestingly, vader killed most of the jedis, killed the sith lord then *died* and unintentionally brought almost perfect balance to the force
@@shriharihudli8596 I think he’s talking about Luke not Vader
He’s talking about Luke. And he didn’t give into his light side. The joke is the light side and the dark side are both the bad guys and good guys. One is seemingly altruistic but cold,unfeeling and detached. And one is seemingly wretched but passionate and human. The Jedi stole just as much from obi won and other Jedi as the sith stole from maul.
Maul's voice actor really was something else. Rare you get this level of emotion and sense of pathos from a voice actor.
Kudos
Obiwan was the one constant in his life he did not feel betrayed by him. He trusted obi wan to be his enemy and I think this gave him comfort.
it gave him anger, fuelled by kenobi only.
I wouldn't say he trusted him. It was a simple revenge plot between them, even although maul came to hate the very thing he is he knew he was gonna die regardless
i was super confused by that scene in rebels when i first saw it, but now it makes perfect sense and is super emotional
It's not my fault he's bad at fighting
@@eliaslunajesusisalive9386 Master Kenobi, the Palpatines are joining together and will rebuild the empire once again.
The fact that Obi Wan comforted Maul before he died shows that Obi Wan is more than just a strong jedi.
Obi wan and Darth Maul were like brothers
@@Hardcord6 Wtf?
@@aidangilboy6673 they are ennemies of course but they had respect for each other’s and Kenobi knows the hate and the suffering maul had he see him as an old friend this was they’re last encounter they had to stop the pain, he offered him the thing he wanted the most, death and finally peace.
@@Yendislefort I get that they were like old friends, but they aren’t even close to being like brothers.
No Name it's not about obi but maul
to me, this seven minute video was 1,000 times more compelling than any Star Wars content Disney has made recently.
@@arealhumdinger yeah thats true
Mandolorian is insane
S7 is Disney aswell
It's litterly just the sequels that are pissshit imo
@@lightpunch00 call me crazy, but i think the mandolorian is boring 90% of the show (at least the new seasons)
In his entire life the only person who has shown Maul any kindness was the person he hated the most. Truly poetic.
Second, and nothing compares to mental distress quite like maul. Anakin is about internal rage, Maul is about his internal sanity.
Anakin is rage.
Maul is rage plus insanity and I intelligence
The voice work by Sam WItwer to convey Maul's inner torment and struggles with sanity was so very well done.
No Anakin is about selfhate. Maul doesn't hate himself, he hates everyone who wronged him with the intensity of a thousand suns, but he doesn't hate himself.
@@MattFyrm anakin isnt about self hate. Maybe when he becomes vader he hates himself a little bit. But still he mainly just hates everyone
@@ZainAhmed-ns2di you're right I meant Darth Vader not Anakin; Anakin cares a lot about a lot of people, he therefore hates the people who want to hurt them.
But I'm sorry, Darth Vader hates himself ᵃ ˡⁱᵗᵗˡᵉ ᵇⁱᵗ? Darth Vader believes he lost everything he ever had because of his own actions. The only outside person I believe he truly hates is Obi-Wan who he believes betrayed him (which to be fair he did a bit). As an example: when in legends Darth Vader and Maul had a duel Maul asks "what could you possibly hate enough to defeat me?" And Vader replies "Myself" as he stabs himself through the gut into Maul who is standing behind him.
The fact that Vader's selfhate is virtually the only thing keeping him on the dark side is also the only reason why Luke was able to redeem him: by showing he can be forgiven.
how did a dude who was just supposed to be a random sith lord for small plot become one of the absolute coolest characters in anything
People in charge actually cared
Small plot? FOOL I was the first sith in thousand of years to reveal my organization. To kill a Jedi. To get cut in half have my ultimate move stolen by the man who cut me in half. Came back like terminator. Have my brother killed by my master. Then defeated again by the man I hated the most.....oh but I’ll be back again. In a movie a show maybe even a flashback or mentioned in a conversation. But I’ll never truly die my name will always haunt the Jedi.
@@darthmaul6902 ok.
@@George-se2en kk.
Honestly
“The Sith took everything from me, ripped me from my mother’s arms, murdered my brother, used me as a weapon and then cast me aside” wow that is probably the most accurate understanding of the sith and human toxicity as i have ever heard. Maul is a wonderful character because he has been broken so and through it all he has endured and survived. “I am the last survivor and i can thrive in the chaos that will come” he was truly a survivor till he met the one man whose conviction and will was stronger than his own, the same man who bested him so long ago.
What a character arc what a character study on hatred, loss, and revenge.
The amount of meaning packed into the four word line “he will avenge us” never fails to give me goosebumps
This is true, and only Star Wars,my brother!
Darth Maul: the textbook example of how to resurrect a character and make them 10 times more dynamic, interesting, and integral to Star Wars.
Point one: put Lucas aside
They turned him from a villain to a tragic hero
@@Gan3eL Lucas was the one who told Filoni to bring him back
@@Gan3eL Bringing him back was Lucas's idea (and he was actually part of Lucas's Sequel trilogy concepts too still doing the Crime Lord stuff more powerful than ever having grown his criminal empire to become one of the dominant galactic powers and a genuine threat to the Republic during the chaos between the transition from Empire to New Republic)
10x0 is still 0 Filoni gave the cool design a character
“Dad can you tell me about the tragedy of Plagueis or Anakin/Vader?”
Me: “actually son.... have you heard about the tragedy of Darth Maul the lost ? It’s a story neither the sith nor Jedi will tell”
That would actually be a great story to tell. A tale full of sadness and heartbreak and suffering. A man used by everybody and discarded like a worn-away tool. For a time he gains some prominence in the criminal underworld, but then he ends up walking away from it, for whatever reasons, and searching for the one that had first defeated him, not to settle an old score, but to end the game, maybe, with some semblance of dignity.
It's not a story sidious would tell you
How about "The Lost Son of Dathomir" ? 😛
@@Robert_Douglass I can't help but feel like you're telling my story. That was really well thought out.
😩😭
Maul is a lot smarter than people give him credit for. His development was insane and perfect. Definitely my favorite character.
The ending scene where maul tried the same move that killed qui gon on obi wan, but obi wan already learned that move the hard way gave me chills
i like to think obiwan knew maul was gonna try it he went from his clone wars stance to adopting his masters stance and maul being someone who i guess couldnt resist killing both master and student the same way
Maul voice actor is the best in the world I’m convinced
Sam Witwer.
He played the part better than anyone else could have. His voice acting perfectly captured Mauls internal torment. Phenomenal job by him.
Or Peter Saranophacis thats not the spelling but ye know.
Star killer was done amazingly by him too, he has a voice for tragedy
He also did starkiller, another one of the coolest Star Wars characters, and palpatine in the force unleashed and battlefront 2
Fear leads to anger
Anger leads to hate
Hate, leads to suffering
Maul experienced all of these.
Suffering leads to insanity.
That stupid dathomirian deserved it
Fear leads to obsessive of power and obsessive beckoning the dark.
Sheev Palpatine Darth maul didn’t really have a choice. Evil isn’t born, it’s taught
@@Nicks_Memepage oh now do i
The scene of Maul screaming at the clones about how they don't know what they're doing, followed by Palpatine smiling is so well done. Nobody ever would have listened to him because of who he was, and yet it's because of who he was that he knows so much. I also love that when Maul tells Kenobi that Luke will avenge them, you can see Obi-Wan grimace. Even after everything Maul had done to him, I think a part of him hoped that he would make an effort to see the light. But instead Maul saw it as just another opportunity for revenge, and it broke Kenobi's heart
It is an ethereal line sometimes between revenge and justice at times and Kenobi knows that. I think part of that grimace is that he knows what he feels and what Maul feels on the matter of Palpatine is only separated by a little uncontrolled personal rage.
Palpatine hurt them both in many of the same ways, and their lives have taken some of the same trajectories. But the defining difference between a Jedi and a Sith is a Jedi acts for the greater good while trying to keep a leash on those more primal aspects of their being.
So in Maul's last breath, Kenobi may have well seen some of himself in Maul.
“he will avenge us” broke me down in tears
I didn't even put together that he's holding Maul the same way he held Qui-Gon way back when it all started. Damnit I think I'm crying.
I haven't realized he tried to use on Obi-Wan the same trick he used to kill Qui-Gon (the surprise hit in the face) and it was what led to his end, since Obi ducked and sliced through it. Nice. Goes to show my favorite thing about Kenobi; Doesn't matter his age or rank, dude always learning and evolving. It's also one of the differences between them - They are both survivors, each one dealt damages to the other, and both lost everything - But Kenobi survived by acceptance and moving on, while Maul survived through his lust for revenge, what kept him perpetually chained in the past.
@@DesolatedChild018 Theres a whole dissection and discussion about this last duel. Firstly, historically its the most "accurate" representation of a duel the universe has ever depicted.
Historical duels between samurai, or really any fencing or bladefighting, really only lasts one exchange, maybe two or three blows max. Two samurai would circle one another, changing stances, looking for an opening, the perfect moment to strike. When the exchange came, there would only be one chance.
And in this duel, Everything leading up to that last fateful exchange was a mind battle, and Obi Wan won before the blow even fell, because he GOADED Darth Maul into doing what he did.
Notice how Obi Wan adopts his signature Soresu style stance.
Then to mock him Maul switches stances to the same one he used before he killed Qui-Gon.
To call his bluff and goad him in, he switches to Qui-Gons Ataru, taking the same stance Qui-Gon used before Maul killed him.
And Maul did not switch his stance, but you can see the realization in his eyes, and the anger, and he fell right into Obi Wans trap.
Besides the fact they are now in the open, which is where Ataru shines, Obi Wan learned from watching Maul kill his master, and spent a lot of time studying, not just that final fight, but Ataru in general. He tricked Maul into making the exact same move again, but instead of falling for the feint that killed Qui Gon, he cuts straight down the center, ending mauls life. Maul had just enough time to realize he wasn't just fighting "A rat in the desert". This is a Jedi "Master" One of the most accomplished and intelligent Jedi masters of the recent era. A Jedi master who survived Order 66. And a Jedi Master on guard duty, which means hes protecting someone extremely important. He totally underestimated and misjudged his opponent.
@@Cryogenius333 In general I've viewed that as Maul's biggest weakness. In every fight he loses he's underestimating someone or trying to look ahead to another fight and start preparing when he really needed to focus on the moment he was in. It's a nice contrast to the idea behind the Jedi as well, since they are supposed to live in the moment by contrast. You can even see when he starts beating these moments, against some of his fights with Obi-Wan when he first returns or against Ahsoka during rebels, where he's really intent on proving himself and showing he isn't as weak as many believe, he does incredibly well. Then he fights Kanan, or fights Ahsoka when he wanted to draw in Anakin and Obi-Wan, and he starts trying to accomplish other objectives because the fight is 'beneath him' and he gets punked by the enemy.
And maul tried to use the same move that he used to kill qui gon
@@FPSfanatic96 Maul is a classic example of someone suffering from severe personality disorders.
Hes been beaten broken and abused his entire life, he got cut in half. Hes half insane.
After spending his entire life getting the shit kicked out of him in preparation to be Palpatines Apprentice, Palpatine dropped him like a moldy potato. Hes never been "good enough" He's a being of pure rage and pain. Hes never going to think things through, and every moment looking forward is purely in anticipation of the moment he gets to face Obi Wan, while every other moment is spent looking back. so in a way you are correct. He never lived in the moment. Always pacing like a caged animal, raring for blood waiting for the next door to open
"The Sith took everything from me."
You could feel Maul wasn't talking about the Sith. That anger and contempt was aimed at Palpatine.
But also the concept of his involvement in the sith taking everything from him. Imo he was referring to the concept of the sith, not a sith or some sith in particular.
@Tate Ullock yeah I agree with that, I was just saying how this line isn't directed at a singular entity or group. Working with the sith (concept, not Palpatine) resulted in the loss of his brother, his body, basically everything. To clear it up, Palpatine didn't cut his legs off for example, he lost his legs to obi wan because he was a sith.
@@Plasans how did Maul end up with Palpatine? Did he kidnapped Maul or did Talzin gave him?
@@kentinson1670 I haven't read many comics so I'm not sure, I think he was kidnapped as a kid. He might have been handed over by the night sisters tho
@@kentinson1670 yes, he was kidnapped by Palpatine at a young age. Talzin was actually pretty pissed at Palpatine for stealing Maul from her and she wanted revenge in son of dathomir comics against Sidious. You should read the son of Dathomir comics. It's canon and it does a good job of showing what happened to Maul after his battle with Palpatine in season 5 of TCW.
I love how he finds a sort of peace in his final moments
The end of hatred: death
Its a tradition to come to this masterpiece every once in a while. One of the most if not the most underrated characters. If he appeared in more movies than just Phantom Menace his popularity would have skyrocketed but I will never forget what Dave and the writers did for his character in the Clone Wars and Rebels. Art.

if you want can you check my last edit
Funny how he knew the plans all of it
I love it. Revenge
Love the "He will avenge us." line. As Obi-Wan holds him in his coming death, Maul realises Obi-Wan was never his enemy. They were both tricked by Palpatine. He was tricked by Palpatine into focusing on wrong person.
Every couple of months I revisit this video, and it remains the single greatest work of fan art of all time
Maul: He… will… avenge us...
Disney: Well, yes, but actually no.
@Ryan Nowatski yup fu.... sh.. that Disney did
The Sequels are bullshit and Rey is a terrible protagonist. The prequels , Originals, and the Clone Wars series and Rebels series are GOATED and it all makes sense and keeps the story connected
I just wanna point something out here. Disney was already in charge of Rebels when that piece of dialogue happened, so Disney literally created this entire episode.
Only to make it worthless with the Rise of Mary Sue.
@@yanniisrael3173 I agree
@Ryan Kowalski; You know Kathleen Kennedy? She’s one of the people that helped make The Last Airbender live action movie.
That alone should explain everything.
The Clone Wars had the balls to bring back Maul...
And they succeeded
Pac of Ace ha lol
But they couldn't bring back Maul's balls
It was a huge risk, but man it paid off big time!
Epicly
@@RH-zk8je GOT EEM
This was spectacularly done and so heartbreaking. I’ve always had a soft spot for Maul. I remember being 8 and losing my mind in the cinema when he broke out that double lightsaber. I’m glad Clone Wars and Rebels gave him a more fleshed out story.
I watch this about 2-3 times a year. It just shows the phenomenal storytelling that Clone Wars had, especially with an enigmatic being like Maul. From his tragic background, his antihero arc, and even the voice acting is so dang incredible. So glad they fleshed out this character in the way they did, this is writing at its best!

If Maul was trained as a Jedi, he would have been the most loyal Jedi ever.
Probably. It would be pretty fun to see him be friends with Kenobi
Well he actually technically "betrays the sith", because he wants to kill Palpatine.
@@benhamilton3671 palatine betrayed him first so it wasnt disloyalty
That may be but he wouldn’t have had the same background with all his experiences which is what drove him to being broken and seeing things clearly at the same time his character is the most genius and complex I’ve seen in my entire life.
@@benhamilton3671 Well betrayal is key to the rule of two, so if you take someone wanting to kill their old master as betryal than every sith who has lived since darth bane has betrayad the sith.
"Always remember, I'm fear. Always remember, I'm a hunter. Always remember, I'm filth. Always remember, I'm nothing!" This line hits different. And is kinda relatable...
It's Also Very Inspiring.
It's hard for me to describe how tragic his fate is. This is such an emotional, such a deep part of a seemingly dark character who survived betrayal, his own death, the death of his brother. Incredibly strong character, with a broken fate. And his words... his last words... he will avenge us... these are not the words of a madman, but of a man who is glad to know that even after his death there will be someone who will settle the score with Palpatine.
To be honest, I burst into tears during this video and while writing this.
the calmness in his voice is almost disturbing when he speaks
idk i think it cool and the voice actor nailed it

2 years since this was made and I still listen to it regularly
But it hits the same everytime

till today
That “He will avenge us” was one of the saddest line in my life
There were only two people who didn’t use maul as tool...his brother and obi-wan. One died in his arms and he died in the others arms. Saddest shit I’ve ever seen.
What about qui-gon
@Serious Sketch In legends they go to Starbucks to get some coffee and they get to know eachother, but Qui-Gon makes fun of his mom so Maul tells him "U ded"
Actually Mother Talzin loved him as a son and tried to protect him. In the comics Sidious uses this by making Maul bait in order to set a trap for Talzin, resulting in her death by General Grievous.
She didn't die in his arms though. She just got impaled while Maul got dragged away by his own troops trying to save him from going after her.
Mic 112 yeah dawg but she straight up had his other bro killed...not cool
There ya go, 700
The Duality of Maul and Kenobi is honestly one of the best ones in all of media history.
Maul embodies the 'perfect' sith. He is fueled by anger, by rage, it's what drives him. His desire for revenge not only against Kenobi but also against Sidious towards the end of his life. He's not the perfect Sith, he's not all-powerful, but at his core, he represents the core Sith values perfectly and is probably my favorite example of a true Sith.
Kenobi on the other hand is the perfect Jedi. No quotes there. We all know why. Saw his master and lover die, saw his apprentice and best friend turn to the dark side, yet was never truly tempted. He remained a Jedi every step of the way. He harbors no hatred for Maul, and he showed understanding and compassion when he understood where Maul came from.
Also, something that I noticed watching this video, which I loved. Maul's Sith Eyes. A sith fully embarrassing the Dark Side has his pupils turn Yellow (unless you're Sidious and learned to not show them). Maul's are always bright golden in hatred. Except once: His death. I thought it would be a cool detail and then I noticed it, when he died in the hands of Kenobi, his eyes left that golden rage and had some green return to them. His death is the moment where he was finally at peace, and made peace with Kenobi. Fucking hell I love that character
wow just noticed the eye thing
You have a point. But have not all night brothers yellow glowing eyes?
so true
Goku and vegeta
@@TiagoDdA No they have green you can see at about 4:00
Can we just appreciate the amount of time and skill it took to construct this masterful representation of the most interesting character in star wars
Sam's voice acting is just insanely good!! 😮
When Maul said “He will avenge us.” He wasn’t just talking about him and Savage he was talking about everyone he was talking about his village, he was talking about Ventress, he was talking about Asoka, he was talking about everyone who’s life was stolen and destroyed by the Sith, and most of all he was talking about him and Kenobi because there life’s mirror each other they both lost brothers to Lord Sidious, both lost there purpose, and both had there lives destroyed by the Sith. They were Twin sons and brothers.
i couldn´t have expressed it any better
I Think Maul Was More Referring To Sidious In Particular Because The Jedi Exterminated The Sith And Sidious Exterminated The Jedi And The Sith
And not just them, also all the beings swept up in the clone wars, all a part of the grandmaster plan of one being, one entity to rule them all, only to be defeated by the chosen one, the skywalker lineage.
*Ahsoka
And this beautiful explanation was given by a guy with Thanos Car as their pfp...
Nice
It’s insane how a character who was introduced more than 20 years ago and had like 10 minutes of screen-time, transformed and evolved into one of the most in-depth, deep and tragic characters in all of Star Wars. Maul goes down as one of my all time favourite characters in Star Wars.
proof, that Dave Filoni should be for Star Wars, what Kevin Feige is the the MCU.
His duel with Obi-Wan from Rebels is one of my favorite scene in the franchise, next to Luke looking into the Twin Suns
20 years ago? no, no Phantom Menace didn't come out that long--holy shit I feel old
6 minutes
Read his comics
This makes tear up everytime. Such a villain, but the story of it comes to light & you grow on it. Understand it, and acknowledge it.. such a good story of someone I'd want to see more of...
Maul has transformed to a one off character to one of the best characters and the best Star Wars villain
Amazing how much as this character has expanded upon when first appearing with only two lines
Lord Vader would like a word about that last part
yes
Vader was way better
@@lllllllllllllllII my nigga thats crazy but i don't remember anyone asking
6:22 The flash to Maul hitting Qui-Gon with his hilt as he tried to do the same move on Obi-Wan ohmyGOD
Yup that was masterful.
That was sooo fucking great because it shows you that Maul was using the tried and true method to kill a previous Jedi master but Obi Wan remembered and countered it, ending Maul. The mashup between the two shots was just amazing!
@@KaiWolf18 its even better when you know obiwan was expecting maul to go full circle
Obi wan did the same moves as qui gon to bate maul
PERFECT.
One of the most painful and powerful quotes i have ever heard " you cannot imagine the depths i would go to stay alive fueled by my singular hatred for you."
So a couple things!
I ABSOLUTELY love the sharp cuts when Obi-Wan and Maul finally reach the climax of their narratives. It’s so powerful to remind us that these two have clashed constantly basically until Obi-Wan was an aged and incredibly powerful Jedi Master.
But also, Maul reminds me,in a way, of Baldur from God of War. Both being and feeling so wronged and punished for simply existing as they are turned them into slaves to their own anger and vice. Their hatred boiled and stewed until even the audience realizes that there is truly no hope for these characters. Maul wouldn’t never have been able to sate his need for vengeance and his hate unbalanced him at every notion. Such a pleasant surprise to see this character get so much more depth than anyone could have guessed
Mauls Voice Actor is one of the greatest
Same guy who gave the voice to Galen “Starkiller” Marek
@@carsoncasmirri3874 yeah Sam Witwer he's awesome hope we see a live action of him at some point. Any way have a good day
@@swprequeldog7773 i hope this every day, episode 1 The Force unleashed, we get vader, wookies, a combat droid that pretends to be maul, soooo muchhh potentialll
Amazing how The Clone Wars and Rebels transformed this character from almost nothing to pretty much the best villain in the Star Wars universe.
Savage>Maul. Allow me to explain:
Savage's death was the only time I cried during the Clone Wars. "Brother, I'm an unworthy apprentice. I'm not like you...I never was." People seem to forget that Savage wasn't naturally a Jedi-killing monster. Savage was a loyal zabrak and a friend before being stripped from his village and turned into a beast by the Nightsisters against his will. For three whole seasons, Savage was a pawn---pushed around and mistreated by his superiors (the Nightsisters, Dooku, etc.). Even Maul treated him like a subordinate more than a brother.
In conclusion, Savage's arc is tragic and underrated. This is why, personally, I think Savage Oppress is a better character than Maul.
He is antihero
@@heavyfromtf2208 antivillain. And Anti-Hero is still more heroic :p Maul does seek the "heroic" goals but his means and method are VERY un hero like and is only really doing it for himself rather than anyone else.
An anti hero is someone more like Han Solo (Solo movie->New Hope- Before Battle of Yavin-), a hero who doesn't follow the conventional rules of a standard hero.
macFuz I agree in season 7 he seemed like he really did want to stop palpatine but he also wanted self gain he truly was a great character
General Grievous savage had a lot less screen time and had a less interesting arc
"Evil is not born..."
-someone who has never been around children.
Evil Can Be Born only if you were born as psyhopath genetically which is nearly impossible and Called A Psychopathic Behaviour In any other Way people are becoming like that not born like that
Darth maul voice is like symphony for me, clone wars supremacy
He had to hold three dying people in his arms. A brother, a loved one, and the one that killed them both
But he gave all three of them comfort and humanity in their last moments.
Qui gon: ight ima head out
Satine:Byeeeee
Maul: KENOBI!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone point out how good maul and kenobi are as characters but nobody points out how exeptionally good the edit is
True
What got me was how little actually needed to be edited in that final fight scene.
The writers/story boarders for SW Rebels knew EXACTLY what they were doing there. Then Porg the Sith Lord comes around, does this, and turns a nice meal into the best goddamn food my eyes and ears have ever tasted.
@@WindWalker666 if you can taste something with your eyes you know it's good
true
the fighting transitions from old to new were flawless. loved it
This is by far a masterpiece. I know how much time it takes to make an edit like this and how much thought and understanding of the topic it requires to deliver such an engaging video. There are millions of Star Wars edits on TH-cam and I have seen plenty of them throughout the years but this one is definitely one of the best ones I have ever seen if not the best.
Maul is beautifully written. Definitely a tragic villain
Maul was the one that could have stopped Order 66 and the rise of the Empire, but no one listened
Nah he would have taken advantage of it he would have killed palpatine and tooken over as new ruler of the republic
@@Alreadydead907 Maul did not have what it took to rule the galaxy - he could have instigated Palpatine's downfall, but he could not have replaced him.

Poor guy
"Always remember I am fear, always remember I am a hunter. Always remember I am filth, Always remember i am nothing." Is such a strong statement. Like the old saying "I came from the dirt, and the dirt I return."
My favorite part about maul’s story and character is how consistent it is throughout the multiple shows and movies
You can hear the fear when he says “we’re all going to burn”
He’s actually talking about Kathleen Kennedy being made president of Lucasfilm.
Sam Witwer is an absolute god of a voice actor
@@AlexanderTheBloodraven🤣🤣🤣
@@AlexanderTheBloodraven LOL
And you can hear the desperation when he says "Where is he?"
The saddest thing about Maul is that he doesn’t hate Obi-Wan. He just latches onto him thinking that he hates him because he knows that he will never be able to get revenge on the man he truly despises, Palpatine.
I think this is what he really wanted to happen anyway. If he had won, he would be even more miserable than he was before.
Short of killing the one that actually wronged him, this was his perfect end. He had his final confrontation and he found peace. He was relieved of his hatred.
@@thegoodolddays9193, I'd go as far to say that in this end, though it was only for a moment, he found his salvation. He was dominated and learned what hatred was, he was indoctrinated to live an incredibly hateful life. He was bested in combat by Obi. Therefore probably respecting him as an opponent, thus why he won't kill him. He never truly hated Obi Wan. He found redemption in realizing this.
Redemption from the darkside. Like Obi Wan said, Maul was forced into this. Indoctrinated. Which is what makes his final end matter so much more. Instead of going to what the Jedi might call hell, or some sort of punishment in that kind of afterlife. Maul's soul may have been redeemed after finally letting go of his hatred. As Maul said. "He will avenge us".
Maul never wanted to kill Obi Wan. He just wanted a reason to hold onto his hatred. When Maul was defeated, Obi didn't actually land a killing blow. Or so it doesn't seem like it.
Instead, it just seems that Maul simply gave up his will to fight because in that moment he found respite and redemption in realizing that Obi Wan was protecting the chosen one. You can see it in his face and hear it in his voice.
The animators, directors and the one voice actor of Maul. They all did such an incredible job. Maul was the only Character of any show, movie, and anime I've ever seen with THIS much Character development. Unfortunately there will never be another Character in any media or maybe in any book that has such a deep level development.
@@thegoodolddays9193 I completely agree
I completely agree with this statement is very obvious that this is the case especially when you look at how he deals with Ezra. he's so full of hate but he doesn't have a direction for it that he can do anything about.
(Star Wars novice) Is there any way to train and grow stronger in your respected force practices? Or are where you are to an extent? What I’m asking is could he have trained and eventually been able to kill Palpentine or was he always out of his reach? Because he truly feared Palpentine and once they fought in the clone wars with Savage on his side I understood why
Maul’s response to Kenobi saying “if you judge yourself by your desire to possess, dominate… then you have nothing” is “ and what do you have?” is simple yet powerful.
I like how he said, "He will avenge us.". Maul knew in his last moments they were both subjected to the same tortures and were made pawns in a greater scheme.
"Evil is not born, it is taught."
Never more true.
@Darth Vader More like, BOTH
@@S308. I believe the "evil that is born" is the doing of the devil.
Nah I don’t believe that
@@nutringos5804 You should, but you're also right to believe that there are scum out there that are evil for evil's sake.
Palps sure as fuck was born evil tho.
They made a character that was wasted when killed into one of the best characters in all of star wars. His story is so good. His ending is storytelling to perfection.
A movie or spin-off show of Maul's past would be better than the new Skywalker Trilogy. People that never seen the Clone Wars and Rebels wouldn't realise that Darth Maul was forced into the Dark Side would probably have a hard time watching his origin it be heartbreaking because in the end the character would be sympathetic and pitied for what happened to him.
Darth Maul is second to Vader of villainy.
Disney has a problem with there villains doing a 180 in their life. But not saying Vader isn't bad he redeemed himself to save his son that is why he is a good Character.
Maul never changed and that's why is a good character. In Maul's end he said "He will avenge US." Maul didn't do a 180 because Palpatine betrayed him, he was in his own way being a "hero" while being a villain, and that's also why he is a good character. In the end Maul was enlightened to know that both he and the Jedi would be avenged.
Even after the hate within him against Kenobi died with him.
Personally, I was not a fan of how he lost to Kenobi in their final duel. I felt that it was cheap. But him dying in the arms of Obi Wan, who still showed him compassion, was a nice move.
@@xavierhall185 Agreed. I hated how quick that was. Maul and Kenobi needed a very epic drawn out final duel bit they wasted 80% of the episode on Ezra and Chopper...
Be honest did you like my comment because I said a movie or spin-off show would be better than the Skywalker Trilogy.
@@STEELGMBL listen to what Sam witwer says about that duel and you will feel differently
voice actor really brought this character to life
One of the best characters ever period. The way he is written in clone wars really evaluated him way further than the first episode could have ever done. I genuinely feel absolutely sad for him and his arc.
I love how Maul was built as a throwaway character, literally just a man who grunted, killed a jedi, used 2 sabers and promptly died. But they injected life into this character, so have him blossom form nothing to a bigger character than Grevious. But despite all that, they built his character on being a throwaway. He was rejected and cast aside but he just kept coming back, fueled only by his hatred, hence the name of this video. Truly an amazing character.
Yeah its amazing how Maul went from a "Who cares he is dead" to "Damn, Maul is such an amazing character, its insane how much character he has after The Clone Wars & Rebels". Hes one of my top 5 favourite for sure.
The throw away character that didn't want to be
Being cut horizontally and vertically
Not that being bigger than Canon Grievous is that hard.
Legends Grievous on the other hand was a juggernaut that carried his own story.
Gotta admit that you're right, Maul has a tragic story for who was originally a throw away character. Kinda sad that he was killed so fast in the movies but he is one of the best characters from the franchise
Being trained by him instead of Dooku would have been cool now that I think about it
“He will avenge us” That hit hard.
‘revenge is not the Jedi way’
But it was not the Jedi way that bested Darth Vader.
It was the Jedi way that redeemed Anakin Skywalker, but before that it was the darkness that devoured Vader.
Serious Sketch
I don’t think he wanted to.
I think he just wanted something to end.
Be it the hate for the man that cut him down from the future he dreamed of, or his life so the pain would stop.
Maul’s path was a dark and weary one. He lost everyone he cared about, all his ambitions shattered as he was left to wallow in the dark.
I think at the end he was tired of it all and wanted to finish his part with one last defiant baring of teeth.
@Serious Sketch great take. insightful.
@Serious Sketch Nice writing.
@Serious Sketch That line I think shows more the bond between Kenobi and Maul. He didn't say "he will avenge me" or "you" he said "us"
It moves me to tears everytime I see Maul telling Kenobi that the chosen one will avenge them, to me it shows he finally let go of his hate and despair and was finally at peace, he obviously wouldnt come back as a force ghost, because he'd not known the technique, nor do I think he'd want to become one, just happy that Maul didnt a die sith or even a jedi just as a man coming to peace with the end, letting go of anything that bound him here
3:44
The greatest delivery of any character’s name by any character ever
Who else wants "Maul: A Star Wars Story"?
Me
If Han has his own movie,Kenobi has his own series, Maul can have a movie too.
Certainly it would be epic but I don't think it's necessary. From my point of view his story is finished.
@@ZweimannImperium yeah. Although it's a cool idea, what would they put in? Clone wars finishes his clone war arc (along with amazing comics) and rebels finally finishes his story.

Why does he sayed that ?
@@maximederak I believe he is referring to Order 66/Rise of The Empire

That editing around all the light saber hits is art
it's even in time with the music ... masterpiece!
I was watching this whole video and I thought it was quite good. But when the lightsaber fight edit came in I literally got goosebumps, it's simply perfect!

Bro the editing is flawless. Props.
I feel like. In mauls final moment he was shown the most compassion He's ever had. Obi wan caught him as he fell..
This
That's probably why he died, his rage melted away and that's what kept him alive (Edited cuz I misremembered star wars lore)
@@rescuerex7031 well said, but maul is actually 2 years younger than obi-wan
@@thatguylogan_21 Old Man Kenobi just feels older, so I kinda forgot he was only 50, but yeah Zabraks are also not Longer Lived than humans dunno where I got that, they actually live slightly shorter (than Star wars humans who on Average live to 100, and Zabraks on average live to 80)
So this is everything. Maul was a creature fueled by hate. Others...the Nightsisters, the Mandalorians, Sheev in particular...took advantage of that. Obi-Wan was the first to see him as a being, something more than a tool...if only with his dying breaths.
sam witwers voice is so perfect for maul when he yells kenobi i still get goose bumps.
bro made the hardest maul edit and thought he could get away with it
The saddest tragedy of Maul and Obi Wan is that they wanted the same thing. Neither wanted to kill the other: Maul only wanted to make Obi Wan suffer so he could understand the same pain and loneliness he felt. Obi Wan was constantly teaching Maul a lesson that the Dark Side was the only thing he could blame for his suffering. Maul didn't want to feel alone, and Obi Wan did not want him to feel alone, either. It makes their final confrontation all the more heartbreaking for them both.
The saddest tragedy is that George Lucas is an idiot and killed Maul in episode 1

I only just realized how strong Obi Wan is. He witnessed the death of his beloved master, by Maul. The death of his woman, by Maul. The death of his apprentice and brother, by the dark side.

What other character showed that kind of strength?
Though he wasn't the strongest Force user, Obi-Wan was the paragon of the Jedi, if you ask me. He truly kept his compassion while being in balance with his emotions and was a faithful servant of the Force to his last moment
Indeed I truly believe that Obi Wan in-bodied the Jedi order in its purest form.
