It's interesting how shallow and cheap Darth Maul's role in the one movie he appeared in was, versus how deep and complex his story has become in the other media.

If only we had gotten Lucas' idea for the sequel trilogy. We could have seen a Sith Warlock as the main threat, in those movies.

Maul needs to come back. He is one of the most iconic and has a cult following like no other!!!!!

Maul was incredibly powerful with magic. He literally made a bunch of scrap into mechano-spider legs through sheer force of will while cut in half(which would have reduced his midichlorian count by half and thus greatly reduced his power in the Force). Thats not a standard Force power, thats Night Sister magic. Talzin did a very similar, but more refined, version of this magic to construct him a set humanoid mechano-legs.

It doesn’t “change” Maul, it changes our understanding of Maul.

I spent Halloween one year as Darth Maul, when I was 10 or 11. My Sith robes were just a bunch of winter clothing. My mom bought a Darth Maul mask to use as a reference for my face paint. Unfortunately I was allergic to the paint. So I just used the mask. The most amazing part of the costume was the toy lightsaber! I miss that thing... That was, by far, my favorite Halloween costume!

The Threads of Fate also seem inspired by the Norns who weave fate into reality.

Remember, Ezra merged with Maul, a part of Maul is within Ezra still... That's part of why he wanted Thrown Removed. If any of them could cheat death, it's Maul

I think the Nightsister can tap into the World between worlds using their Magik, but are unable to enter, and that's why they come as Visions to them. nd you are right, Maul knew Sidious plans LOOOONG before anyone else, but everyone just through he was insane! So no one listened. He knew too many Specific events that he shouldn't have been able to.

I honestly want a Maul series or movie he is by far the coolest n personally my favorite non legends Sith.

I've always been under the impression that Maul was being held back by Sidious's ideology. If he would have broken away from the Sith philosophy like Ahsoka did with the Jedi, I think he could have been unstoppable.

I love Darth Maul. Like many 90s kids, the first Star Wars I saw was the Phantom Menace, and Maul was just such a presence that he etched himself into my memory in a way no other characters (okay, except Yoda) could. Seeing his story unfold in Clone Wars and Rebels was absolutely amazing for me, and although I knew he was going to die, that scene was very painful. I doubt he will make a return, BUT if he does somehow thanks to Nightsister magick, I'll be ecstatic. Perhaps it wasn't part of Dave Filoni's plan to make him return, but as Ray Stevenson tragically died and Baylan may have to be written out, I can't think of any better character to take his place. Imagine Maul training Shin to become something more than what she has already trained to become...

Tbh, Darth Maul was one of my favorite Star Wars characters. He had a level of cunning that no one else during his time if not in the entire star wars history that no one rivals. he was unique in a most pleasing way and was by top 10 most intelligent living being. I know a lot of u are gonna scoff at me but i just loved him and my opinion is subjective rather than objective.

This would be yet another way to explain his survival after being bisected by Obi-Wan. It wasn't just his hatred and connection to the Dark Side that kept him alive, but him unconsciously tapping into some Night Sister 'magic'.

I just had a thought. What if Mother Talzin was actually a heretic among the Nightsisters but she somehow successfully managed to exile the three Great Mothers (those who would be able to oppose her) that we saw in episode 6 of Ahsoka?

I'm just goin out on a limb here; considering that Mother Talzin had access to such valuable modern gear and tech such as Lightsabers and starships, does *not* like those who practices magiks outside of her way (considering she conquered all the other clans on Dathomir and turned it into a single planetary Nightsister clan and her criticism of Alia's texted about the Icore.), and the fact that Thrawn himself said "Soon we shall all escape this exile" . . I think it's safe ta say that the Nightsisters we see on this planet are exiled Nightsisters Talzin gave the boot to for either goin against her before or after her conquests.

This is amazing power! Really amazing! Imagine Maul using Nightsister magic and being Sith Lord. He would surpass Sidious. No doubt. Maul definitely used Nightsister magic. He saw the future,he knew Luke is Anakin's son,he knew where he is. He knew where Obi-Wan his. I can imagine how how he was supprised when he learn Anakin has a family. I wonder how their meeting would look like. I also don't understand Nightsister magic. May the Force be with you too always😁!

Maul doesn't come from another galaxy. He was born in the star wars galaxy.

This video actually highlights someone else, while a Maul embracing both the Dark side and the Night Sister magics would be fearsome, Savage Oppress was stated to have a potential to rival, and even surpass Maul, that means he had the chance to be a even more terrifying force than Maul could of.

Star Wars needs to have a Darth Maul prequel series asap

i think ichor is the flow of force from the cosmic to the living, and back. midichlorians being filled with clean ichor (gold lines of the force priestecess). green icjor being the willfully bend flow.

Dude someone have to make a what if maul reached his full potencial? video with this deep lore. Thanks this was a very intresting video. Love you and May the force be with you!

Maul would've been terrifying formidable had he not lost his legs. It's a little bit like Anakin and the loss of his limbs on Mustafar. He was more limited in his power after that.

We don't know that the Zabraks on Dathamir were from the other galaxy. They were just Zabraks (possibly from Irodonia) that were dominated by the Dathamir.

Also very important, is what this means for Ezras force abilities. He and Maul were, or rather still are, connected in the force and always will be, and therefore Ezra also has a potential connection to the Night sisters' magic. I don't think Ezra wearing a red robe was a coincidence. He might have come by that Night Sister magic, or his own iteration of it. This along with his incredibly strong connection with life force and nature and his stints with the dark side (if there even is one), makes him perhaps currently the most powerful Force user. He's extremely powerful and dangerous and the Grand Admiral knows it and respects it. That's my theory anyway.

Man, this was so fascinating! Great work!

My crazy theory is that it's somehow Darth Cognus & Baylan is a descendent of hers or something.

Maul could come back. The powers of the nightsisters could bring him back as George Lucas planned. He could be the main villain of a 4th trilogy, and Darth Talon could be his apprentice. Later, she became the new Vader using her beauty as a weapon. George Lucas original ideas for the sequels should be incorporated into the canon.

What if Darth Sidious wanting his apprentice to be exceptionaly strong with both Sith alchemy/Night-Sister magic being super powerful in the dark side. Sidious makes a deal with the Grand Mother of the night sisters. Palpatine wants his apprentice to be of his own powerfully strong in the dark side bloodline. As well as the bloodline of the grand mother Towsen. Only she didn’t get pregnant with 1 child she became pregnant with Triplets. 1 girl 2 boys. AKA Ventriss. Maul and Savage. The mixing of these 2 DNA sequences created 3 top tier level dark side villains. Palpatine & Towsen agreed to train all 3 of them together to work together to become highly successful killers. Ventriss to be trained heavily in night sister magic as well as dark side Sith alchemy. Both brother would also get sith training but as skilled assassins. Strategists and battle berserkers. Both of which could become vastly improved by there sisters magic!!!!!

Now it makes sense. I feel like lightsabers are somewhat symbolic to it’s wielder! The dual lightsabers owned and used by Maul is his connection to both galaxies and culture that uses the dark side of the force. With Ashoka I find her white lightsabers symbolic to the fact she left the Jedi order and is not really a Jedi but still embraced the principles of the light side of the force!

It’s interesting how the Dathomirians were descendants of an extra-galactic civilization when they were relatively primitive in comparison to other civilizations within the main galaxy however I live in the Pacific and the ancient indigenous Pacific Islanders were able to navigate using the stars while European explorers had a harder time finding the islands.

It certainly makes even more sense about how he maintained his life force through his hatred of Kenobi; Dathomiri dark side magic augmenting his dark side martial and force wielding.

I love episode 6 Am so happy the nightsisters are back I'll be so surprised if Darth maul appeared in ahsoka series can't wait for episode 7

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Great video, hence why I've been a subscriber for four years.

I have a theory that Ezra will go insane and we'll see him get his hands on armor similar to Moff Gideons when he gets it he'll paint it with Maul's colors and become the new Vader.

I always felt like force alchemy could only ever be dark side in nature. Even if you seek to use it to use it to personally achieve a light side moveset or objectively righteous end goal your means of doing so was unnatural and intrinsically fell into a sort of violation of the force.

Honestly I think all this creepy undead business is a means to bring Maul back yet again. I also believe the cyborg on Mandalore that captured Din Djarin has some connection to Maul.. it had a connection to the witches.

Legend has it that his lower half returned to the galaxy he originated from.

Makes you wonder how what galaxies await in our lives, never to be realized…

When maul was introduced I thought he had potential to be the best sith. He came from a rough planet of no light, then they killed him off easily

The Dathomir witch’s and zabraks came from the Star Wars galaxy. They didn’t come from perida, they traveled to perida. They were the first to leave the galaxy using the purrgil and established a temple on perida that didn’t mean they came from perida. Also the map was made by an advanced species from another galaxy the nightsisters didn’t make it

Maul was the best Saber fighter in the Skywalker saga because he went through Qui Gon and Obi-Wan like butter without any fatigue showing. His demise was due to his Sith arrogance. Had he not gloated in his moment of triumph over the 2 jedi in the phantom menace , he would have just finished off Obi-Wan with a force push or force dropped something heavy on him. The entire saga would have changed. I sense a great new threat powerful in the force coming from that new galaxy in Ashoka that could possibly tie into the future with the new Ray Skywalker saga they supposedly are making/talking about.

Revive maul .He as a matter of fact has suffered and edured far more than Anakin skywalker.

The interesting question for me is whether Maul being bisected, which reduced his potential in the force, also reduced his potential in Night Sister magic.

This is fantastic

I always thought it looked like night sisters were an outside parasitc group held apart but given up the best warriors of the endemic species of the planet.its interesting hear that they come from outside.Your right maul did have extremely interesting depths and possible force abilities,but I think it's his daphamiri,night sisters,sith/dark side training that makes him beyond maybe even vader.especially because after his resurrection and escape from Mandalore he returned to the night sisters demesne on daphamir undertook some connection and or training with the dark forces and remnant spirits of the witches left behind.then went hunting for malacore and tried it on for Ezra as all sith is by rule of 2,hence his desperate ploy earlier to encourage Ashoka around order 66

Love the videos! You said that this was all speculative but I’m not so sure. Unless I’ve missed something at some point, the explanation as to why Maul survived his time in the junkyard in the first place, was because he was drawing on his hatred but this new theory could add more depth to that. It could be that his hatred let him survive, but his innate ability to see the threads of fate lead him to his insanity. Sorting through the threads to find that his story did not, and there. The same r reasons that Anikin and Vader or so conflicted, his hatred fueling the dark side’s ability to see many possible futures, conflicting with the more accurate dark magic threads, leading him to a constant battle of every decision he makes being in question because he no longer knew what the true future was. Resulting in his non stop babbling of the chosen one, obi wan, his current situation, and I’m sure the calling of mother talzen reaching out to him. This theory also explains why he never tried to escape the planet. His magic ability to see an accurate future clouded his mind, also covering any short coming he may have had while at the hand of Sideous.

Is it possible that Cal kestis and Merrins kids could possibly be capable of becoming Jedi warlock/ Jedi nightsister hybrids, and can finally serve as the bridge between the 2 respective orders,

So was the hyperdrive of Thrawn his ship broken after he got there with Ezra? Is that why they never left the planet? Is Peridia the only planet in that galaxy that is inhabitable? What kind of threat do they face that the nightsisters would jump galaxies before just moving to a different planet around a different star?

The species maul is from is a sympiodic species with the dathomir and created by the rakata. Completely unreleated to the sisters originally. Only after the dathomiri came to the star wars galaxy did they meet.

it would be cool to see how powerful maul would be as a sith warlock.

Maul was never taught Sith sorcery, he was trained to be a tool. And was treated thusly

zabraks are from iridonia, a huge part of the irionian population left for a new home and found dathomir, the amazon like nightsisters that already found dathomir subjugated them and used them as sort of a 2nd class of their society

Now I want a spin off trilogy of what would have happened if Mail defeated Obi Wan

Both nightbrothers and nightsisters are zabraks from perridea. Dathomir was a colony and after Dathomir a lot of zabraks go to iridonia without following the traditions and the ways of the witches

Maul can use magik, as shown in rebels

Maul was also able to conceal himself from palpatine during the clone wars and during the empire

What if their power is just the force of another galaxy? The two forces apposing the other.

I'm pretty sure Zabrak are from the SW galaxy. They just interbred with the the extra galactic dathomiri...

Why are we extra-galactic ? I know about space whales. I mean WHY narratively.

Could the Icor be something from the Pergil graveyards? Just a guess because it was some sort of liquid gas looking stuff😂❤

After most jedi, plus the night sisters, then the two super powerful sith were all killed does that mean that the force is making tons of children that are force sensitive but with no guidance, or is it making the smaller factions like ithorians , and others that deal with the force stronger? I kinda remember that there massively strong force users after huge jedi/ sith battles. So it seems like the force never rests , maybe it is what's calling Balen to this new planet?

Being red skinned i always saw him as a desendant of the sith species, so maybe there are more in this second galaxy

I've always kinda thought maul was an anti Anakin..not Vader but Anakin. Maul was born into a dark fold..2 different upbringings but both sired in power by Palpatine.

Nah. I always thought and still do think that Maul was talking about Anakin/Vader being the chosen one to Obiwan right before he passed.

I love all your videos about the night sisters and their magic. The magic of the Star Wars universe is highly under appreciated and underestimated. Thank you for all your deep thoughts into the Star Wars lore, I love your videos🙏🏼👌🏼

If the night sisters worship the mortis gods then they now worship Skywalker.

Sabine got the runt of the beast! That’s why it ran off!! But it will prove to be special

You know these witches kinda remind me of the force users who taught Jacen Solo the weave walking force ability

The way I understand it Maul is a Dathomirian Zabrak They live on a different planet from The Nightsisters, also known as the Witches of Dathomir. I would argue that the Witches came from the other galaxy and took over the system removing the native Dathomirian women becoming the dominate species with control over the Male population. That is why the Dathomirian males do not have magic powers also explains why the woman and males look totally different from one another. Like they are two different species.

I’ve got an awesome what if idea for you to make.

Maul didn’t lose potential because if he lost power in the force then he shouldn’t have survived being cut in half. It only appears he has gotten weak because he always fails.

I thought of something, what about that episode in clone wars where mother talsin fights with mace windu over a rare artifact

Imagine doing the ol' pull a rabbit out of hat trick for Sidious and he just ends you ....

We know that mother Talzin was one of the few people palpatine feared. Do you think palpatine may have known that they originated in a different universe? And that is part of the reason for his fear?

Sidious backing out of his promise with Talzin just seems real stupid on his part more than ever the more I learn of the night sisters. The man literally had a great boon to his plans within his reach, but not being able to look past his teachings of the rule of two truly stifled him in this regard. Night sisters getting stronger in the force each generation, on top of magic that uses the dark side complimented sidious’s plans really well, and honestly, if the sisters lacked ambition, sidious didn’t and could have planned with mother Talzin to learn enough about sith knowledge to add to her magic to benefit the clone wars in his favor. Dooku and grievous wouldn’t have been needed to lead the separatists, it could have just been maul and savage acting as “Sith” to draw attention away from Palpatine and Talzin scheming on both sides of the war.

I wonder if Full-Potential Anakin Skywalker is stronger than a Full-Potential Darth Maul?

what about the other Tribe Of zabraks with The Normal skin have horns or are they another tribe Branched off from the dathomiran people

Interesting way of looking at Maul. If he was the first then there could be others

Even Though Maul Seemed More Loyal Then Dooku was atleast to me

Anyone also noticed how the "Star Wars universe" intro we have at the beginning of every single Star Wars show changed with Ashoka and now doesn't show any Disney Sequel trilogy characters anymore ?

7:46 Night Sister on left looks kinda like Letitia James. 😂

In the novel : Darth Plagious , Sidious / Palpatine really didn't hand select Maul. It could be argued as fate or random circumstances that as vast as the Gakaxy is that the then Sebator Palpatine and secret Sith Apprentice to Darth Plagious just so happened to be on the right planet and on the exact streets that as the Night Sister that asked Palpatine to please take Maul who was a baby at that time. So I don't really think that selection is the way I would describe it.

i just hope they don't try putting the home planet of Yoda"s species in the same galaxy. The mystery on that is the best part. hahaha

Maul has been my favorite with Revan

Heck Yeah!

I feel like the travel across galaxies happened a long time before Maul. Right now we don’t know the age of the Mothers

only using my knowlage from Rebels. There might be other sources that have explained. I think it's a streatch to think that Maul knew who Obi Wan was protecting was Anikins offspring. To my understanding Mauls interpritation after probing Obi Wan. He deduced that Obi was here in exile for the greatest of purposes. He was the master of the one thought to be the One. So now who he was protecting must be as important.

It makes sense but sidious was not the best teacher i mean hell he screwed over everyone of his appenritces

"I am Sith" Asajj Ventress

I thought the lore was he was given to the night sisters and he and his brother were adopted by the night mother.

Would it be cool if Maul had Illidan's 10k years of Hatred or Savage was reincarnated as Pre-Heresy Angron?

Think about it. New and possibly worshipped the mortis. Exempt from dark and light side. They are daughters of abaloth

The night sisters on that planet said that they were banished just like thrawn

MAUL in the prequels should of lived until 3 .. he should of been the through line .. the one villain until palpatine revealed himself .. could of still had everything else almost be the same in the stories .. Anakin could of finished his path to being a sith by killing him in anger.. Maul could of kidnapped his mother and given her to the sand people as bait at palpatines command .. I don’t know these are my stupid theories but he could of been there the whole time is all I’m saying

Avatar Aang is a Kro Var

Luke was A Chosen One, not The Chosen One... as was Anakin imo. There's more than one prophecy, every cycle more are created and are fulfilled. How long is the cycle ?

i thought he saw the future after joining the 2 holocrons in rebels

He’s not his species is native to Dathomir not peridea… just because they change the cannon of the night sisters doesn’t change mauls species

Maul, Sidious, Boba Fett but Whack a Mole
