honestly i think sidious didnt want to team up with maul or allow him to join back (besides rule of two obviously) i think honestly sidious taught maul TOO well. going by canon’s continuity dooku was always just a place holder until anakin came along. but by sidious words maul was a lost. maul WAS a true apprentice of sidious ill say even more so than vadar. even though sidious played both sides of the clone wars the fact that maul was able to STILL hide create his own army lead death watch etc. his longterm planning manipulation cunning and patience im sure he learned from his master. sidious called him a rival and he was way too dangerous to ignore. to even take his time away from being “palpatine” to handle maul himself says a lot.

[@stevenceja4706]

One aspect that I think Maul had over Dooku and even Anakin was that being from Dathomir he had an almost symbiotic relationship with the Dark Side of the Force so it didn't take the same toll on his body.

[@davidhack3849]

I like seeing Sidious flex as much as the next guy, but I thought it was straight up overkill. It would have been more gratifying to see Sidious send Dooku to avenge his Qui-Gon. Dooku could easily take them both on. It would have been more tense and gratifying.

[@aster4jaden]

Now that would've been a battle to behold.

[@DaG.O.A.T.]

Maul and savage would have beaten dooku

[@TheBobafett12367]

Sidious dealing with it was better. Maul was a loose end that was just that important to deal with.Plus, the duel also had the plot purpose of hammering home for Maul that he has been replaced and cast aside, thus driving Maul to hate Sidious as much as he hates Obi-Wan. Also the fight wouldn't be easy for Dooku. He had a slightly tough time fighting Savage and Ventress at once, and Maul is very much a better duelist than Ventress. Also, just seeing Sidious flex at all is something so rare that it's great to see.

[@matthewmann8969]

Dooku would lose against Maul And Savage together but he would be able to beat them on a individual basis due to superior force powers as well as saber combat and weaponry while Maul And Oppress have superiors in physicalitys and unarmed combat so that explains it yeah.

[@davidhack3849]

Obi-Wan constantly holds his own and against Maul. Even mutilated savage when they both ganged up on him. I’ve never seen Obi-Wan get even close to beating Dooku. Anakin beat Dooku then Obi beat Ani. I think that’s enough said. ;^)

[@Hei_Darkfire]

We may never know what Sidious wanted to do with Maul. But my own headcanon is that he wanted to use Maul as a means to push Anakin into the Dark side. I think Sidious would have had Anakin hunt down Maul and eventually kill him in revenge for Maul killing Quigon. The longer it would have taken to find and kill Maul, the angrier Anakin would likely have become. A perfect way to build up Anakin's turn to the dark side.

[@SuperVblade]

That’s the first thing that came to my mind maul was a full fledged sith in his own right he even had the title of darth, if you think about it sideous acknowledged maul, he called him a rival

[@96smittyjr]

This is the man who not only had Dooku drop Ventris like a stone stone but orchestrated the entire genocide of the night sisters just because he was threatened by Dooku. Having an ex apprentice who arguably was every bit as strong as Dooku at least in terms of raw power would’ve been too much for Sidious to deal with, and he would’ve been constantly looking over his back expecting Darth Maul to betray him and take over honestly as cool as it might seem from a political and logistic perspective the last place that Sidious would ever want Maul would be in the role of grand inquisitor

[@ozmozis6073]

The challenge was for Palpatine, if he truly was this impressive a Sith Lord/Master, to take on both Vader and Maul; he never wanted a rule of two, so having Vader constantly on his toes and Maul edging to rise up was a worthy test, equally for his Red Guards and his inate Sith skills to govern, control, dominate and suppress. In this, Palpatine believed he was the final Sith; he'd subdued prophesy of the 'one who would bring balance' and unlike Vader and Maul, he was whole, without machine parts with the power of essence transfer to rule forever...

1. Because Maul failed him in a over embarrassing way. 2.

Maul was too loyal to Talzin And Savage as well as Dathomir to work for Sidious in full capacity even if not as a apprentice. 4. Anakin was meant to be his ultimate apprentice before his defeat on Mustafar yeah.

[@InfiniteNaos]

I would think that Sidious also felt disappointed that Maul lost in the first place to Obiwan. His failure to stop both a master and an apprentice collectively is what I think Sidious deemed a failure. Plus, in Legends around the history during the phantom menace and before attack of the clone once both Sidious and Plagueis found out about the prophesy of the chosen one Anakin became the ultimate price for Sidious. Originally, Maul was to be that great apprentice had he reached his full potential, but when Maul was defeated and Plagueis was killed at the same moment Sidious needed that new apprentice which was ultimately Anakin.

[@ryggamortis7594]

Darth Mauls initiation into the Sith as a Lord automatically disqualifies him as an inquisitor, in order to be one he’d have to be content with a lower position of power and authority. In order to become a Sith you have to truly hate your master, crave power and plan to overthrow him, that being said as a Sith Lord he cannot be trusted to stay in his lane, even knowing how much more powerful Sidious and Vader were his arrogance overpowers his rationality to make good judgment calls and we’ve seen that on multiple occasions, not to mention Sidious murdered his mother and brother so he would have never willingly kneeled to the empire. Its a shame too because Maul was inherently very powerful and if he were to join Sidious, I’m sure continued training with him and Vader would have only caused him to grow in power until his potential was finally met which would have been very interesting to see.

Maul wouldn’t have joined Palpatine and Sidious wouldn’t want to risk it firing back on him.

Sidious got his use out of Maul before he escaped, contrary to what is stated in the video. Sidious was using Maul to get to Talzin and end her threat. Once he had accomplished that, he knew that Maul was of not nearly as much consequence.

[@Specimin6]

Maul, in the span of a few weeks, went from a crippled and broken shell of a being, to usurping several criminal organizations as well as the homeworld of a warrior people, and taking his own apprentice. All of this done without ever ONCE receiving the training to do so. When Sidious called Maul a rival, he meant it as a sign of respect.

I think if Palpatine had approached Maul after killing his brother and his mother and asked him to be the Grand Inquisitor renouncing the title of Darth and the rank of sith lord and serving under his replacement Darth Vader who Maul probably saw as a glorified droid, Maul would finally have found enough rage and hate to kill the old guy. He would have split him in 2 with the Dark saber. Also in the early days of the Empire when Vader was still getting used to his suit and refining his fighting style he wouldnt have stood a chance against Maul in a duel as this Vader was much weaker than ROTS Anakin.

I wonder if Maul might have been responsible for the creation/initial training of the Knights of Ren. We don't know exactly how long they had been in existence, but they already existed by the time of the OT. They weren't trained by Sidious, Vader, or any Imperial ally that we know of, so who else had sufficient Dark Side knowledge to train them....

[@ike_treftz8185]

If palpatine didn't attack maul on mandalore, rather used him to hold that position so the rise of the empire would come with the beskar steel and madalorian warriors, not only would jedi extermination be more efficient and guaranteed, but also allow a new source of clone dna to come about. Already we know palpatine to break from sith traditions, so allowing to go further to bend or break tradition and adopt even more apprentices, so they may competitively fight for the singular rank of master, which would not be outside his psychopathic and sadistic nature to do so. Especially between vader and maul. Maul would most likely give his brother brother the inquisitor position, and request to hunt jedi with grand inquisitor and perhaps even on occasion with vader, just to prove himself superior to vader and palpatine. He would even take responsibility on training the inquisitors given to him by palpatine as vader was pure talent in the force, while maul was skill, of which is much more attainable to achieve in training. This would certainly cause great infighting, especially if the events went as kenobi series, where maul and vader would be butting heads the entire time to kill obiwan. Assuming they don't end up killing one or the other, in the original trilogy I don't think would involve himself until he learned they maybe a jedi among the rebels, aka Luke. Otherwise he would be keeping crime organized on behalf of the empire, and occasionally looking for Obiwan, He will most likely not find the temple as Sidious would keep him occupied with other things. So we wouldn't see him until empire strikes back, again competing with vader to hunt jedi and vader smugly rubbing it in mauls face that he was the one who killed obiwan. From there till cloud city, maul would be stalking Vader, as he sense something, fear, desperation. Perhaps that vader was worried of being replaced, but only to learn that Luke is vaders son. A weakness to prey upon. Between then and return of the jedi I can't say for certain what would happen, but let's say Maul uses this information to taunt vader and even blackmail him, which is bringing their toxic rivalry to the boiling point, Maul even threating to kill Luke if he ever found him first, which definitely would result in a scuffle, that leads to vader to uses savages life to keep maul away, holding him up in the air with the force, threating to crush his wind pipe. This determination to keep Luke away from maul will certainly bring vader closer to the light. May even result in a 2v2 in the emperors chambers. Sidious just kicking back and enjoying the mayhem, Firmly believing vader is still within his control. Cause if he was that ignorant in the original movie, knowing full well that vader only joined the darkside to save his family, but still chose to attempt to vaporize Luke with lightning, then it would be no different here. I do believe that Luke and Vader will win, killing maul and savage, But the battle would take so long that Palpatine would notice the shields are down and that death star is about to blow up and make his escape. Vader will most likely survive, but not without serious wounds from mual. Vader will most likely defect but not to the rebels, he's free and he will do what he can to protect his son and make amends, no longer a slave to anyone. Not to say he won't be hunted, but he would most likely be busy taking down mauls criminal organization when he cannot accompany his son.

So, he might very well have taken the long game and, really, he would have been an apprentice that never would have turned to the Light and throwing him down a reactor shaft. Maybe Sidious would have been better off had he gone that route, but not so much for Vader.

Honestly this could be a great what if?

This is very interesting. Maul is extremely powerful and smart. I completely agree,it was extremely dangerous if Maul became Grand Inquisitor. He had all ambitions and powers of a Sith. May the Force be with you too,have amazing day too

[@CreationBrosZone-km5be]

Is this before or after he died after being cut in half and falling down a shaft? You're insane.

[@The8Disciples]

Simple, he was too powerful. He would never take orders from Vader. In fact he probably challenged him. If he ever came back he was too dangerous to be left alive.
