welcome to watch mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10
worst things darth maul has ever done
[Music]
for this list we'll be looking at the
live-action star wars films
as well as the animated series and
novels so everything from maul
is fair game but what do you think what
was maul's most evil moment
let us know in the comments number 10
tortures jesse star wars the clone wars
you're wasting your time i won't tell
you anything
how charming that you actually believe
that statement to be true
one of the great things about the clone
wars is the way it allowed viewers to
get underneath the helmets of the clone
troopers themselves
making them more than just
interchangeable cannon fodder
easy with that weapon man we're here as
friends
while captain rex might have taken the
spotlight jesse played a starring role
in several episodes
and was quickly defined by his bravery
and loyalty
of course the bad thing about humanizing
your characters like this
is that it makes it all the more painful
when something bad happens to them
we can go round and round in this circle
if you want
i ain't telling you anything it is not
up to you your mind will speak
or it will break
watching maul force torture jesse for
information is heartbreaking
not just for the physical agony he's in
but because we know exactly how
devastated he will be
to have given up information that
endangered others
number nine brings his brother into his
schemes
star wars the clone wars in truth
neither of the zebra boys were ever
likely to grow into the nicest fellas
they do come from a planet bathed in
blood red light and ruled by witches
after all
plus you don't really name a kid savage
a press if you're hoping to raise a
philanthropist
but there's no question that maul was
often an added bad influence on his
brother
like when he had him kill a hutt council
member even after they'd provided vital
information
so the only thing that you can tell me
is that i will find
jabba at jabba's palace
naturally following maul down this dark
path eventually brings savage to a
grisly end
in a final ironic twist savage uses his
dying breath to express his regret
at not having been more like maul
brother
i am an unworthy apprentice
i'm not like you i never
was
number eight tries to bring ezra to the
dark side
star wars rebels while many of darth
maul's worst moments see him wreaking
havoc with his saber
he was also adept at more subtle
manipulations he meets young ezra by
chance and begins making the usual dark
side sales pitch
acting aggressively and ruthlessly is
the only way you can protect yourself
and the people you care about
the empire it took away my home
and my mother and my father
and you want revenge i want justice
yes yes and you shall have it
but while darth sidious was able to
tempt a young anakin
into executing an unarmed man with the
same argument
maul was unable to draw ezra all the way
over the line break her
down to end this finisher
i can't still it's clear that his words
have had an effect on the young
apprentice
and that's really the true power of the
sith their capacity to bring out the
worst in others
that and force lightning anyway the
power will be
mine ezra will be mine
and there is nothing you can do to stop
me
number seven blind's kanan jairus
star wars rebels the more you dig into
darth maul's backstory in the animated
series
the easier it is to feel a certain
amount of sympathy for him
once i had power no i have nothing
nothing he was basically raised to be a
weapon
and is now too consumed by fury and
vengeance to be anything else
plus he got cut in half that one time
but ezra ahsoka and kanan
quickly learn how grave and error it
would be to offer him a second chance
how exciting we're all on the same side
just show us how to get to the top and
hurry this
way after forming an uneasy alliance to
take on the inquisitors
darth maul reverts to type and blinds
kanan with his lightsaber
in one of the most sudden shocking
moments of violence in the whole series
number six blows up a prison lock down
star wars legends
maul prison stories are great because
they let us see how the protagonist
copes when they're trapped in a hostile
environment
with nothing but their fists and their
wits when maul
infiltrates a prison in search of a
nuclear weapon he has to give up his
lightsaber and refrain from using his
force powers
to avoid his true identity being
discovered this all becomes a lot more
pressing when he has to enter into the
prison's gladiatorial contest
but the fact that he triumphs anyway
provides one of the clearest
demonstrations of just how lethal maul
can be
he does eventually obtain the nuke and
makes his escape though not before
triggering the prison's self-destruct
sequence
and ensuring that he'll leave nothing
but space dust behind
number five creates an intergalactic
crime
syndicate star wars the clone wars a
battalion brother
they will serve us well while darth maul
starts out as darth sidious apprentice
acting solely on the emperor's orders he
has to find a destiny of his
own after obi-wan chops him in half and
his old master finds a new right-hand
man at first his vision doesn't extend
much beyond seeking revenge against the
jedi that cost him his legs
but he soon begins to set his sights
upon a more ambitious goal creating a
galactic crime syndicate called the
shadow collective
why do you come here we seek an
army presiding over it as kind of a
space godfather
maul is able to unite several of the
galaxy's most fearsome gangs into a
single deadly force
we know you've been forming an army
were you expecting us underworld's a
small
community i have no desire to oppose you
we come to join you number four
takes over mandalore star wars the clone
wars
while the disney plus series might have
put the term mandalorian into a lot more
people's vocabularies
their story goes back long before the
days of baby yoda
one of its darkest chapters involves
maul using his newly formed personal
army
to take over the entire planet he does
so with the help of an exiled
mandalorian group
known as the death watch whose leader
pree vizsla
seeks to use maul to take back control
of his home planet and restore its
warrior traditions
we have learned from this beast the
consequences of pacifist principles
it's now time to restore the traditions
of mandalore
as tends to happen when people team up
with maul though fizzle quickly finds
himself staring down a red lightsaber
leaving maul in complete control of the
mandalorians and their home planet
i claim this sword and my
rightful place as leader of
death watch number three kill sateen
crees in front of obi-wan
star wars the clone wars even with a
crime syndicate and a full planet to
oversee
maul's mind is still largely on his
thirst for vengeance against the jedi
who cost him his legs
his place at the emperor's side and his
sense of purpose
when obi-wan falls in love with a
mandalorian named satin crees
maul spies the perfect opportunity to
inflict the kind of all-consuming pain
that he's been dreaming of
take them back to the palace having
become the rightful leader of the
mandalorians
maul forces satine to kneel before him
and then begins
torturing her while obi-wan looks on he
is determined to break the jedi's
resolve and draw him to the dark side
your emotions betray you
your fear and yes
your anger let your anger
deepen your hatred when this fails he
forces obi-wan to watch as he impales
satine on the darksaber
[Music]
number two annihilates a village to get
obi-wan's attention star wars the clone
wars
then you must have your revenge my
brother
yes we shall start with revenge
the worst thing about maul killing
sateen might be that it's not even the
worst thing he did in his efforts to
provoke obi-wan
that came on rhaedonia with so much
turmoil in the galaxy
maul knew that he would have to do
something truly horrific if he wanted to
get the jedi's attention
so he went to a far-off planet found a
village full of innocent civilians
and ruthlessly dispatched all of them
when the horror was over
he calmly sent a hologram message to the
jedi council informing them of what he
had just done
and daring obi-wan to stop him
undoubtedly the most brutally chilling
moment of maul's story
you cannot imagine the depths i would go
to to stay
alive fueled by my singular hatred

number one kills qui-gon jinn
star wars episode 1 the phantom menace
no matter how far his backstory has been
filled in
darth maul will always be defined by his
iconic appearance in the first prequel
film
he remains largely cloaked in shadows
springing from nowhere to battle qui-gon
on tatooine early in the film
to offer a glimpse of his abilities
[Music]
tell him to take off
[Music]
but it's the grand finale between maul
qui-gon and obi-wan which
everyone remembers the heart-stopping
reveal of his double-edged lightsaber
the acrobatic fight between him and the
jedi
and the horrid final blow he delivers
[Music]
it's a truly devastating moment and as
well as taking out a wise and kindly
jedi master
it begins a cycle of revenge which
consumes countless more lives before
it's done
