Darth Maul is a fan-favorite Star Wars™ character ever since his very first appearance (portrayed by actor Ray Park) in Episode I. Viewers loved his unique design and Lightsaber skills. But Darth Maul sadly perished in a duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi … or did he? Reintroduced years later as a survivor of that epic bisection, Darth Maul has proven himself an eloquent and fascinating addition to a galaxy far, far away.

10. “Let us have our revenge.”

• Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord™ official trailer

Revenge is a huge theme for Darth Maul. He’s been continuously wronged by those in power. Whether they’re Sith, Jedi, Mandalorians, or Nightsisters, various power sects have always betrayed him in the end. Darth Maul blames them for ruining his life and the world around him. In the latest animated series, he promises to hurt them back.

9. “Their betrayal demands consequence. And that consequence requires a weapon.”

• Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord official trailer

We told you he has a way with words. Yet Darth Maul isn’t loquacious. Poetic, perhaps, but not lengthy in his address, his chilling remarks strike to the core. Here, he again rails against those who have destroyed his plans. And in the next instant, he outlines his plan: to acquire a weapon capable of defeating every enemy. Something tells us it’s not just another Lightsaber … but perhaps a Padawan pupil!?

8. “You will remain alive only so long as you’re of use to me!”

• Star Wars: Rebels™ season 3, episode 3 “The Holocrons of Fate”

Darth Maul is devious and duplicitous. Allies are only important if they can fulfill their designated role or function within his plan. If they get in the way of his goals, he easily strikes them down. When Ezra Bridger would not turn to the dark side or aid in Maul’s quest, Maul decided he no longer needed the young hero. Such is the way of a man who can easily adapt and think on his robotic feet.

7. “Always remember I am fear, always remember I am a hunter.”

• Star Wars: The Clone Wars™ season 4, episode 21 “Brothers”

This full quote takes a sadder turn. Maul’s mind withers after his near-death. Alone, he scrounges for a new body and becomes half a monster in the process. As Savage Opress attempts to restore his brother’s memories, Maul laments that he is filth, that he is nothing. It is a shocking moment for a character who is usually so confident and capable.

---

6. “You may have forgotten me, but I will never forget you! You cannot imagine the depths I would go to to stay alive, fueled by my singular hatred for you!”

• Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 4, episode 22 “Revenge”

Like we said above, Maul lost his marbles after his defeat. He’s also quick to blame others for his predicaments, never truly accepting his own failures or consequences. So, when given the opportunity for a rematch against Obi-Wan, Maul lashes out with the fury of a thousand suns. Nothing could hurt Maul more, however, than Obi-Wan’s dismissal of his old Dathomirian enemy.

5. “Every choice you have made has led you to this moment.”

• Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 7, episode 10 “The Phantom Apprentice”

Ahsoka Tano and Darth Maul’s battle is one for the history books. Not only does Darth Maul fight Ahsoka with his saber, but also with his taunts and tales. Maul preys on her disillusionment with the Jedi while also seeking her acceptance of the Republic’s inevitable downfall. He toys with Ahsoka by bringing up fate, and dissecting the decisions that have led her into conflict with him.

4. “Justice is merely the construct of the current power base. A base which, according to my calculations, is about to change.”

• Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 7, episode 10 “The Phantom Apprentice”

Like Grand Admiral Thrawn, Maul is ruthless and calculating. The scariest villains are the ones who know how to see beyond the system — and work in its shadows. Darth Maul scrambles and scrapes for every piece of power he can find. From Crimson Dawn to his loyalist Mandalorian Super Commandos, Maul also gathered crews who could see his plans through no matter what planet or prison he landed in.

3. “I can see him in my mind’s eye. Kenobi. KENOBI!”

• Star Wars: Rebels season 3, episode 20 “Twin Suns”

This quote requires a video link. You really have to listen to Sam Witwer’s performance to get the full impact. And while “KENOBI!” has reached meme status online, it’s a truly impressive display of voice acting prowess. Visceral and brimming with absolute loathing, the name is screamed with such a delicious blend of agony and antagonism. You get the entire depth of Maul’s hatred in a single surname. Brilliant, just brilliant.

2. “At last, we shall reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge.”

• Star Wars: The Phantom Menace™

At first, Darth Maul was the archetypal strong, silent type. Menacing and brooding, he had very few lines in The Phantom Menace. Yet the few times he did speak, it was to savor vengeance and pain. Darth Maul’s conversation with Emperor Palpatine illuminates Maul’s motivation and personality when we are otherwise kept so clearly in the dark (pun intended) about this enigmatic villain.

1. “Fear is my ally.”

• Star Wars: The Phantom Menace tone poem television advertisement

“Fear is my ally” is actually never spoken in The Phantom Menace. Yet Darth Maul did say it as part of a full monologue in a special television advertisement. Ahead of Episode I, Lucasfilm released character tone poems which captured the essence and motives of the main heroes and villains. Although the TV spot is now essentially lost media, fans still cling to this line as the ultimate representation of Darth Maul — as it was always intended to be.
