Talk:Darth Maul/Legends

Sithspawn?
Why was Maul listed in the Sithspawn category? He's a Zabrak. Removed, re-add if there's some reason he should be there, please leave a comment. --68.228.44.94 02:51, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Paralells?
Is there ANY paralells between Darth Maul's death and those of other Jedi/Sith? Just asking? 203.123.89.166 05:30, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Force Unleashed
Can anyone get a pic of PROXY guised as Maul on Raxus Prime? We'll need that for the "Legacy" gig? 72.209.10.107 22:37, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I also think that this incedent on Raxus Prime should be noted in his biography.QuiGonJinn 14:37, 2 October 2008 (UTC)QuiGonJinn

i am suprised proxy lasted as long as he did because he takes lots of critical damage in his life and he never gets repaired.--Serg arty 22:26, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

im just putting the code to unlock darth maul in ps2. ZABRAK WallyX 20:04, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Body destroyed in core?
I am curious about this because I read the novelization and don't recall this getting mentioned. The film shows too little to determine if that happened (it's certainly a possibility) and besides, I was under the impression that Maul's corpse identification was part of the Jedi's investigation into his being a Sith. Also, the Infinities comics with him returning as a cyborg don't make any sense if this is true. At any rate, I guess my question is whether there is a source for this because it confuses rather than clarifies for this to be canon.Mad Jax 23:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I am 34 and in my many years of geekdom i have learned one thing. Non canon is always stupid and just gets dumber the longer its dragged on.

Since nobody came to defend the wording, I went ahead and edited it out because "destroyed" has multiple interpretations (ie just "dead") and if it does in fact mean that, it was a redundancy. I did so because I feel the character of Maul deserves a featured article quality entry and this is one step toward that goal.Mad Jax 09:01, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Dark Lord of the Sith?
This isn't specifically about Maul, but I was wondering whether he counts as a dark lord of the sith. Because I thought there was only one and the apprentice of the dark lord didn't count. 70.26.53.110 23:49, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No, numerous sources have stated that Maul, Dooku and Vader were Dark Lords of the Sith, even though they're apprentices. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 23:52, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Can you mention one? If it's not too much trouble...70.26.53.110 02:38, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The first usage of the term was in the A New Hope novel, used in reference to Vader. The Databank and Dark Side Sourcebook are two sources for Maul off the top of my head. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 16:59, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I haven't read any of those, but thanks anyway. 70.26.53.110 17:32, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Clone of Darth Maul
If Darth Maul had a clone why wouldn't it be in the movies? --Lupin &amp; Kingsley 15:09, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

There are many things from the Expanded Universe that don't make it into the movies, which is why they are relegated to e-canon status. The Maul clone is just one of them.Mad Jax 08:11, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Darth Maul Picture w/hood
I was looking through the wanted files and i noticed people were asking for a picture of Maul hooded. here you go

http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/image/article/759/759120/darth-maul-20070126054824246-000.jpg

i will leave someone with higher authority than me to use it on the page
 * Joking, of course. Alexrd 18:27, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

maul infinities?
i have some empire strikes back infinities and they dont follow the story line so why should mauls? i think that part should be taken out because other books under the same name dont go to plot the books show an alternate story line where luke dies on hoth.

what???!!!???!!?!!?!?!?!?
in the very first paraghaph it says mauls first mision was in 33bby but is the general info collumn it states that he dies in 32bby!
 * That was a different mission then the one Maul died in.  IFYLOFD  ( You will pay the price for your lack of vision! ) 03:45, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * "BBY" is like "B.C." -- it counts up to 0, when ABY kicks in. So 33 BBY is a year prior to 32 BBY. --Anonymous, July 17, 2010

Force powers
In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (video game), during the battle between Kenobi and Maul, the Sith Lord use both Force push and red Force lightning. The video game is considered as canon source, but is his lightning power canonical? Kreivi Wolter 17:15, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * If it is in the game then it is canon. I would add the info. At the very least it could be added to the behind the scenes section. I believe he also had some wild red lighting in Jedi Power Battles for the PS1.--DannyBoy7783 02:35, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Double-bladed lightsaber
In this article, you say the lightsaber was created in a battle. I read the comic where that happened, but in Star Wars Episode I Journal: Darth Maul, it says that his master, after the Ultimate Test, looked it up in the Sith archives and told him "this will be your weapon." There was no battle involved. Which version should we choose to believe (I don't know anything about the citation rules here)?
 * The comic was published in Star Wars Tales, which has certain stories that conflict with canon. When this story was referenced in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, the portion that mentioned Maul's lightsaber and battle was considered a rumor. So, I believe the Episode I Journal is correct in this case. BTW, please sign your posts with four tildes. >(~) Thank you. Zakor1138 00:53, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

"Darth" Title for Maul?
Just curious on how this works--Maul was trained from a very young age; was he given the name "Darth Maul" when Sidious first began training him, or is a "Darth" name & title something that has to be earned during the training process? I imagine the literature on Maul's past will be most clear on the matter, since he is known to have been trained since he was very young. --Anonymous, July 17, 2010

was Phantom Menace theatrical death different?
Its been over ten years but I recall Maul only being impaled and then falling to the core, am I the only one who remembers Maul not being cut in half?24.181.34.132 03:47, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

anybody?24.181.34.132 01:14, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Darth Maul was cut in half. If you watch him fall he is two parts.--Lord starkiller the strong 00:51, August 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I seem to recall that various theaters had marginally different edits for the movie that modified that scene so he does not split in two or the flash of red is not shown at the bottom of the screen when we have a closeup on Maul's face when he's cut. The home vid/DVD releases only have the cut-in-half-with-everything-in version, however, which is canon. -Zekk_Skywalk 02:39, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

I know cut in half is canon but is there anyway to see the not cut in half version, cant find it anywhere 24.181.34.132 02:49, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Phantom Menaces canon?!?
When was this story confirmed as canon? I never heard of such an anouncement, and I usually stay informed of what is canon and what is not. Toolen 18:00, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * It was in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia. Zakor1138 01:08, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Vote of No Confidence in Darth Maul's Abilities
"Darth Maul was a highly skilled lightsaber duelist,... Maul was a master of Juyo, Jar'Kai, and Teräs Käsi,..." If he was so skilled why was he killed by a Padawan (not a Master or even a Knight)?

"While dueling Obi-Wan Kenobi, Maul used both Force push and red Force lightning against the Jedi." I am surprised you have chosen to include that in the article considering your strict canon policies. The complete and G-canon duel is included in the movie and the movie never shows that. Anyway the source for the red lightning is the video game a C-canon source (and an ambigous one at that).

You need to start thinking with more objectivity. --189.247.110.107 16:09, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Clone Wars bringing about new views on Maul...
Looks like season 3 of Clone Wars is giving us a new history for Maul (making him of the same species as Ventris apparently). And introducing a brother. This is from an article on the Aussie IGN (yes yes I know "you can't say ignorance without saying IGN" but they're at Celebration V).

It might be wise to lock editing of this page only to logged in posters for a while until the series has aired and we see exactly what's changed. Bumbles the Time Lord 23:28, August 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's a clip on YouTube featuring his brother around 6:30. George Lucas and Jon Stewart - Celebration V - part 7

Ign also just posted an interview with George confirming that Maul is being retconed as the same speices as Ventress and that they now both hail from Dathomir and are in some way connected to the Nightsisters

As of the Clone Wars, Darth Maul is alive and well in exile in the Outer Rim.

In the newest star wars insider it said that maul is alive and in exile. Shouldn't this be added to his page.--SUP3RCHUBBY 13:44, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

New History for Darth Maul
Hey, moderators. Just wanted to give you a heads up (you may know already) that the latest "Clone Wars"-themed issue of "Star Wars Insider" has significantly changed his history.

HERE BE SPOILERS

Darth Maul was actually originally a Nightbrother (the male subservients to the Nightsisters) from Dathomir, togetehr with his brother, Savage Opress (Maul's birth name was not given).

As you can see, I've made no modifications to the article; I'll leave that at your discretion.
