Star Wars: 10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Darth Maul

2. He Didn't Interact With Original Trilogy Characters

Although getting sliced up like a burger bun doesn't finish him off, Maul does eventually die for good.

But he doesn't let this teensy inconvenience get him down for long.

In the comic book series Shattered Empire, the former Princess Leia takes a trip to her mother's home world of Naboo. Leia, who recently helped secure the downfall of the Empire, wanders around the old palace until she comes across a familiar-feeling hangar.

This is the site of Maul's duel with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Although Leia wasn't even born yet, she is still somehow connected to the events of that day.

She senses something, a presence, one that makes her feel cold. She soon finds out what's going on when a vision of the ex-Sith appears right in front of her.

Well that's terrifying.

Like in the case of most powerful Force users, death is far from the end for Maul. He is able to use his great power to tangentially connect to the land of the living, through the process of haunting someone in an old room.

Yeah, great use of those phenomenal powers, Maul.
