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.

[@skullcruncher76]

@@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.

“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.

[@SuperSnowshark]

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.

[@DesolatedChild018]

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.

[@Cryogenius333]

@@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.

[@FPSfanatic96]

@@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.

​@@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.

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

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.

Maul and Ahsoka both, to me, showed what being betrayed by the light and dark side can do to one. Both showed the qualities not of an absolute, but of seeing it from both perspectives, just different ideals in how to achieve balance. With Maul being on the darker side of things, and Ahsoka being on the lighter side. But no matter how saturated he was in the dark side, no matter if he believed in revenge. At the very end, he chose to believe in the prophecy of the chosen one, something you'd NEVER expect for a dark side character. I really felt bad for him when he screamed at them to just let him die, and that all were going to burn.

Even Vader is not Kenobi's greatest rival because Maul affected Kenobi much more. He killed his master and love and changed Kenobi's life forever. You can't say the same thing about Vader because it was Sidious that destroyed the Jedi order and the republic and he was the direct cause to Anakin's turn.

In Maul's last moments, I think he was finally able to give up his hatred. His question of "Is he the chosen one?" is so telling in what he has finally come to realize. That Obi-Wan is the protector for this new chosen one. He dies believing that he and Obi-Wan will both finally be avenged for the betrayal they endured at the hands of Sidious. He almost has a sense of peace as he dies. A sense of closure. The purity of Obi-Wan's heart is also seen here. That even this being of darkness and hatred, he is able to connect with. Maul truly is one of the most tragic stories throughout the Star Wars universe. A very well made video.
