Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 7 - 10 Ways It's The REAL Conclusion To The Skywalker Saga

9. Maul Gets The Send Off He Deserves...

Darth Maul remains to this day one of the most underused characters in the main Star Wars films. The tattooed Sith lord was splashed all over the marketing for The Phantom Menace, only to be given mere minutes of screen time before being bisected by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the film's climactic Duel of the Fates sequence.

Thankfully, The Clone Wars was able to redeem Maul and he has since featured more heavily in the Star Wars universe, racking up repeat appearances in Star Wars: Rebels, and even getting a surprise cameo in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

While his story officially ended with his death in the former, there's still a lot we don't know about the character during the gap between Episodes III and IV.

When last we saw him in The Clone Wars, he was captured and tortured by Palpatine, who had a purpose in mind for him. We never found out what that was, but hopefully there will be answers in the new series. We may even find out more about Crimson Dawn, the crime syndicate he secretly heads in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Whatever the case, we should see the final gaps of his story filled in, as the Siege of Mandalore brings his rule to a close...
