Darth Sidious' former apprentice, Darth Maul, has led a turbulent life in the Star Wars franchise. Despite his seemingly premature death in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Maul has had a major impact on Star Wars’ Skywalker saga era storytelling, influencing not only Anakin Skywalker’s life but the lives of several prominent Jedi – including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Ezra Bridger, and Kanan Jarrus – as well as the Jedi Order as a whole and the entirety of Mandalore.

Darth Maul's Apprenticeship To Sidious Close &#x2715 Remove Ads Very little has been revealed about the early years of Maul’s apprenticeship with Darth Sidious in canon, but he was raised to hate the Jedi and eagerly awaited the destruction of the Jedi Order at the hands of his Master.

Maul had survived all that time, fueled solely by his anger towards Obi-Wan Kenobi and a diet of refuse and vermin. During his isolation, Maul had seemingly lost his mind, having built spider legs for himself from the surrounding garbage. When Savage brought Maul back to Dathomir, Talzin gave him new legs and restored his mind, and Maul vowed to take revenge against Kenobi, Sidious, and the rest of the galaxy, taking Savage on as his own Sith apprentice.

Though it’s unclear how Maul escaped Palpatine’s clutches, he eventually returned to Mandalore, kickstarting the siege of Mandalore with the hope of luring in Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker. By this point, Maul somehow knew what Palpatine’s plans were for Anakin, and Maul hoped to deprive the Sith Lord of his new apprentice, still fueled by his rage and rejection at Palpatine’s hands.
