After being sliced in two and left for dead in the underbelly of Naboo, Darth Maul held out hope that his former master Darth Sidious would one day come back for him, reinstating Maul as his apprentice.

Finding Maul with an apprentice of his own in the form of his brother Savage Opress, however, Sidious felt that his former ward had become a rival, setting up a Sith rule of two of his own.

One of the best displays of Palpatine's lightsaber proficiency and Force power in the entire franchise, Sidious makes short work of Opress, who dies at the soon-to-be Emperor's hand. After, we get a brief glimpse of Maul wielding the darksaber against Sideous' twin blades, forming one of the most aesthetically unique duels in the series.
