Darth Maul - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

He is one of my favorites. He uses a doublebladed Lightsabre and is skilled in the martial arts. Maul doesn't say much however actions speak louder than words. Ray Park did a fine job as the body of Maul. The voice was dubbed in. I wish that Lucas didn't kill him off at the end of the film however. Ray Park has also been in X-Men as Toad.

Darth Maul is also one of my favourite Character, i also liked his double edged lightsaber, that kicked ass, it was to bad that Darth Maul died, he is a better Sith Lord than Lord Tyranus.

That is what I thought at first. However Tyranus is more powerful. Dooku/Tyranus uses the older method of fighting, fencing which leaves many of his opponents at a disadvanatage.
I am also wondering if Tyranus killed Jedi Master Syfo-Dyas?

I think Darth Vader should have the double red lightsabre instead of Darth Maul

Darth Maul was not a sith Lord like Vader. He was merely an aprentice. (A padawan learner equivalent) The double edged light saber is used by trainees to help them master the weapon.

In attack of the clones we see O-B-1 all grown up and now a Jedi Knight. What would have been cool would be to see Maul fully matured into a Sith Lord.

Tyrannus was an old Jedi Master who trained Qui-gon and became the most powerful Sith Lord we've seen in Star Wars (except Palpatine himself)

The most interesting point is that Tyrannus is arguably much stronger than Vader ever was. ( Lord Vader was never powerful enough to use the lightning that Tyrannus and Palpatine use )

He shouldn't have been killed in Episode I

Darth Maul was a weapon forged by the hateful energies of the dark side to ensure the victory of the Sith over the Jedi order. A creature of pure evil, Maul had no personality beyond his ultimate devotion to his master, Darth Sidious. His goal was singular -- to exact vengeance upon the Jedi for the decimation of the Sith ranks.
The Republic first came to know of Maul only as a mysterious attacker. While Qui-Gon Jinn was escorting the fugitive Queen Amidala from Tatooine to Coruscant, Darth Maul swept down from above, lunging at Qui-Gon from his rocketing Sith speeder. Maul's attack was relentless; he hammered down lightsaber strikes against the accomplished Jedi Master, forcing him back time and again. It was only the timely interception of Qui-Gon by the Queen's Royal Starship that spared him.

Qui-Gon was utterly surprised and unprepared for such an attack. The Sith, everyone knew, were extinct, disappeared from the galaxy for a millennium. Yet the evidence was there -- a dark attacker, trained in the Jedi arts, brandishing a lightsaber no less.

Maul was dispatched by Darth Sidious to track down the Queen, a feat he accomplished through mysterious yet effective means. Traveling aboard his sleek Sith Infiltrator, Maul scouted the galaxy for the missing monarch, and reported his findings to his master. When Amidala returned to Naboo, Maul was there, waiting to face the Jedi once more.

As an undeniable example of his skill and devotion, Maul plunged headlong into battle against two Jedi warriors. Using his double-bladed lightsaber, Maul held off both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn in the heart of the Theed Royal Palace. When the Jedi became separated, Maul killed Qui-Gon with a well-placed saber strike. Kenobi, enraged, attacked Maul. This barrage was deflected by Maul who used Obi-Wan's touching of the dark side as a conduit for a Force attack; using the Force, Maul pushed Obi-Wan into a deep mining pit. Kenobi held onto an outcropping for dear life. Calming himself by calling upon the light side of the Force, Kenobi was able to surprise Maul, and cleave him in half with his saber.

A pained look of bewilderment crossed Maul's tattooed face as death overtook him. His body fell into the melting pit, splitting in two as it tumbled into oblivion.

It was only a matter of time before Sidious acquired a new apprentice.
