Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Darth Maul Facts

Darth Maul is one quick Zarbak. The man showcased his agility in The Phantom Menace, but in the comics he makes that look like nothing. We've seen him dance around large groups of enemies, deflect blaster shots back at the shooter, slice off the hand of a shooter before they can pull the trigger and move so fast that he's described as being a blur to regular eyes. His sheer speed, reflexes and agility in addition to his talent with a blade doesn't make him the best Sith around, but he's one that'll give younglings nightmares.

Darth Maul gave into his hate and the dark side of the force is indeed strong with this one. While we haven't seen him lift X-Wings or toss around senate seats, he has shown he's more than capable of using the force in his battles. He used the force a few times in The Phantom Menace, opening the giant doors and telling Obi-Wan to "talk to the hand" as he force pushed him down the tunnel. We've also seen him choke a fool using force grip and prove powerful enough to overcome force lightning. 

To top it off, his mind is so clouded with darkness that a telepathic character nearly passed out when trying to read his mind and the last thing they muttered was "so...dark." Dude has a lot of hate, and luckily for him it helps feed his power.

Being chopped in half by Obi-Wan was merely a temporary setback for Darth Maul in this non-canon story in Star Wars: Visionaries. "Old Wounds" tells the story of Darth Maul's return from his alleged death and he's sporting a lovely new pair of droid legs. Round two of Obi-Wan versus Darth Maul breaks out, but this time Darth Maul doesn't impress nearly as much. 

He looks like a badass with the excellent artwork, but Obi makes short work of the Sith Lord when he slices off an arm and then holds the lightsaber against Maul's head. However, Kenobi isn't forced to get his hands dirty because Owen Lars shoots Darth Maul in the head before Kenobi has the chance to put his saber through Maul's forehead. Thankfully, this was non-canon and therefore just a fun "what if?" type of story.

The Prophets of the Dark Side were concerned over Darth Vader's dedication to the dark side of the force and believed he wasn't deserving of the Sith Lord title. To destroy Vader, the group brings forth Darth Maul. Seeing as this was after his death, it's unclear if this is a clone or if they found a means to resurrect Maul. They hoped Maul would kill Vader and he would once again return to Sidious's side. 

The two have a brutal back-and-forth, with Maul appealing to have the edge most of the time and even mocking the infamous character. Vader manages to cut Maul's saber in half, but it wasn't enough to turn the tide in his favor. Maul gains the upper hand and takes his time before choosing to deliver the final blow. But Maul's arrogance proves to be his downfall yet again. As he takes his time, Vader thrusts his own lightsaber through himself, stabbing into and killing the Maul doppelganger.
