Star Wars: 10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Darth Maul
3. He Hated Sidious
If someone kidnapped you at a young age, turned you into an assassin, and then abandoned you in your hour of need, you probably wouldn't be their biggest fan.
After falling out with his master, Maul swore revenge on Sidious and the Sith in general. He became a sort of rogue element in The Clone Wars, definitely not pro-Jedi but also acting as a thorn in the bad guys' side.
Parental figures are complicated though, and it's always much harder to leave them than it seems. Maul finds this out first hand in the Son of Dathomir series of comics.
Our subject teams up with some Mandalorians - although without a Baby Yoda in sight - to track down and capture the two men he views as his replacements: Count Dooku and General Grievous.
After he has them both, he presents them to Sidious and decries their failures. He is also desperate to show his former master that he is more powerful than his two successors.
This moment adds a fantastic layer to Sidious and Maul's relationship and only serves to highlight the tragic circumstances under which the latter lives.
