Why Maul Shockingly BELIEVED In the Chosen One Prophecy of the Jedi

[@chill_itsjustlife]

Maul was not a true Sith Apprentice. During the Phantom Menace Darth Plaguies still lived and there can be only two - one to embody the power, the other to crave it. Maul was originally similar to a Sith Marauder. That's why Obi-Wan was able to win against him.

[@rhunter42dragon]

@@chill_itsjustlife First of all, that depends on the version. Second of all, Sidious was already planning to murder Plaguous and become the master. As was typical of Sidious, he was already making long term plans, grooming his apprentice before he was supposed to have one.

The short scene with Maul and Obi-Wan in the desert is easily some of the best Star Wars storytelling ever done. There’s SO much storytelling done in such a short amount of time. The entire interaction hits so hard.

[@Nothinhere72]

I REFUSE to believe that Maul was pathetic clutching to hope on the sense of despair. I BELIEVE that Maul UNDERSTOOD the FORCE to the degree that he KNEW that there were TWO sides. Good and Evil, in THIS THROUGHOUT his journey in life he swayed from wanting to do good and NEEDING to do bad. This is literally stated when the narrator says that Maul could literally sense so much information THROUGH THE FORCE. In his FINAL moments he knew that what Obi-Wan was protecting was the being that would not ONLY avenge HIM, but the countless lives that Palpatine had decimated.

Obi-won and Mauls final battle was actually one of the best duels ever.. the dialog in those moments is next to nothing

[@Taliesin-xd7ke]

Unlike Anakin, who did start life as a slave, did have love and affection, albeit not perfect, from those around him. Maul, from day one.. NEGLECT, ABUSE AND TORTURE WITHOUT RESPITE. On this world, police and social services would have rescued him due to the above being so blatant. Not in that galaxy. The only love, affection and care he ever received was on his dying breath by his perceived enemy, Obi-Wan. I would call it ironic if it wasn't so heartbreaking and cruel. Is there any wonder Maul could've been anything other than he was.😢

[@ozmozis6073]

Question. Did Maul find redemption? The same type that Anakin found with Luke, on the Death Star 2? Hope so.

[@jakepschirrer9150]

[@Clifftowers]

Yep. Jedi saying balance in the force when there are more Jedi than sith means: less Jedi or more sith.

[@GGBlaster]

I don’t know… part of me leans toward balance in power, not so much in population.

[@noahblevins9569]

​@@GGBlasterBalancing it both ways made it easier to understand that there was true balance, for a while.

[@TheFukkles]

I actually think that Anakin was both the Chosen One and the Sith Ari. Both sides saw the same prophetic visions but from their own points of view. It would make sense thematically, as the point of the Force is to maintain balance but the Jedi and Sith keep trying to tip this balance in their favor.

[@clank0ta404]

Clearly you have no idea what the prophecy of the sith ari is if you think that Anakin was a suitable candidate.

[@ethex_]

The literal first line of the sith’ari prophecy is “The sith’ari will be free of limits.” And we all know anakin was severely limited from his obvious physical condition and also his mental limits as anakin/vader is riddled with regret etc. Also in canon and legends Bane has been named as the sith’ari so there’s no doubt it’s not anakin.

[@nickolaszissimos1189]

Luke was not the chosen one, but rather, the one chosen to bring back the chosen one, in effect, the chosen one's chosen one, so to speak. The anchor for the chosen one pretty much.

[@okamireader5]

Maul lived his entire life in darkness. In pain. In fear, anger, and hate. He never had a chance and would never truly have justice for all his sufferings and his losses. Much of what he suffered was arguably self-inflicted, becuz, as a discarded tool of the Sith, he knew no other way other than to scheme, conspire, and strike down his enemies, becuz that's what he was taught and becuz he was forged into a killer that was originally a zealous follower of an order that in no way returned any of the loyalty he felt for it, up until he was cut down by Obi-wan. All of Maul's plans and power-grabs ultimately failed, and so left him with nothing. Tho he grew to hate his former master above all else, Maul eventually had to swallow the bitter pill that taking vengeance upon the Dark Lord of the Sith / Galactic Emperor was no longer possible, leaving him with the only other object of his hatred to seek revenge upon: Obi-wan Kenobi, the Jedi who (from Maul's point of view) robbed him of the destiny in which he believed he would become even more than the most powerful being in the galaxy, not realizing even back then that was never going to happen even had he successfully killed Obi-wan and helped the Trade Federation conquer Naboo. It duzent surprise me that Maul learned of the Jedi Prophecy of the Chosen One during his nascent years under Sidious' tutelage, but in his final moments it is indeed a tragedy that he sought even the slightest comfort of hope that he, as well as all else who had suffered becuz of Sidious, would be avenged by the Chosen One, as Old Ben (in his mind) confirmed he was protecting Hope is a precious thing, for anyone who seeks even a chance of it, to give them even the smallest comfort in their darkest times or even in their final moments. Maul, who had lived the majority of his life driven by an all-consuming obsession for revenge, got that one flicker of hope in his final moments and felt a bittersweet comfort of having his vengeance upon Sidious even via a proxy like the "Chosen One" It is still a deeply sad ending, not only in how it was the end of Maul's story, but also how his final moment and words mixed the very concepts of hope and vengeance, that it left Obi-wan himself aggrieved by Maul's end.

Well technically Anakin did bring balance to the force. As before becoming Vader and joining Palpatine there were numerous Jedi. But after there were just 2 Sith and only 2 Jedi Masters in Kenobi & Yoda.

[@gambitsheild9814]

Fact of the matter is, I think Luke is the chosen one, not Anakin. First, I believe Disney has a twisted view of the force, and specifically of the light side and dark side. The dark side is not actually a side of the force, but more of a method that people use to bend or impose their will on the force. The light side, when pure, is the true will of the force. The issue the jedi had was that through the years, they had put layers and layers of bureaucracy , tradition, and superstition into their order, diluting the pure will of the force. In other videos it had been remarked that a Jedi, when completely being a conduit for the force was more powerful than any Sith. The reason being is Sith can only obtain a portion of the power of the force they can will through their craft, while a Jedi can use the whole thing. This is why Sith have to try to break that connect by either instilling fear or anger. With this whole backdrop, bringing true balance to the force would include two parts, cleansing the Jedi of their years of false traditions, but it would also be to cleanse the force of the usurpers. Aka, the Sith/dark side. While you can make arguments for both Luke or Anakin being the chosen one, the point where the argument falls short for Anakin is the point of fact that Anakin didn't rebuild the Jedi order, Luke did. Furthermore, with Anakin having been the chosen one, then losing that blessing when turning to the dark side, makes a great theme about ordination, and being able to lose that ordination through unrighteousness. Meanwhile, Luke, not necessarily being the chosen one, but inheriting the possibility of it from his father, was able to rise to the occasion and become ordained to be the chosen one. Also, another side note with Anakin, this still allows the theme of redemption, since he still died as a Jedi and was able to live on in the force, but it shows a more true reality of redemption. While redemption is possible, not all the consequences of our actions can just be undone. In real life, just because you have earned redemption, does not mean that the events in motion from past actions simply cease to exist, and sometimes we have to find a way to cope with the consequences of what we have done long after the fact. Edit/side note: Also for the reasons listed above about the force and the balance of it, I really dislike the concept of the Bendu.

[@overknightacention39]

[@noahblevins9569]

They most likely did, due to having Sith holocrons hidden away that only Jedi Masters had access to. But, they believed that the Sith were either completely wiped out, or hidden away and so weak that they didnt have a chance to make a comback. If they did believe the prophecy was real, they would have been making an effort to prepare for this super sith that was expected to be strong enough to wipe them out. Instead, they did the exact opposite.

Look guys people and every and all fan of Star Wars everything and all that Star Wars canon, and George Lucas himself sad and told about Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one destined to bring balance to the force has come true has come to fruition in the ahsoka tv show episodes 4,5 and eight and so as we will see it in season two OK Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one has reached his true full potential power achieving true perfect balance in the force, and becoming the most powerful, strongest fastest smartest character ever of all time in the history of Star Wars surpassing and being above the force priestesses, the mortis gods abeloth and every character in all of Star Wars 👍👌🙌

That may not be true. Just because Anakin achieved balance in the force does not make him all powerful. George Lucas also said that Luke and Leia inherited their father's potential. Luke was more powerful than Anakin/Vader when he faced Abeloth, and was still only a fraction of her power. It stands to reason that the Father was more powerful than Abeloth to have banished her and trapped her. We have not seen anything from Anakin that puts him on that level. Fulfilling a prophecy just means that his life was forseen, and that he was special. There is also a sith prophecy that was never completely fulfilled. So, in theory, there will some a sith lord that may very well be equal to Anakin. And potentially surpass him. People thought Bane was the Sith'ari, but he didnt fulfill it. Same with Sidious.
