After being betrayed by Pre Vizsla and the Death Watch, Darth Maul and his brother Savage
Opress escaped their imprisonment and infiltrated the Mandalorian palace.
There Maul challenged Vizsla to a traditional Mandalorian one on one duel to the death,
with the winner becoming the new leader of Death Watch.
But, what if Pre Vizsla won this fight and ended up killing Darth Maul?
Immediately after Maul is killed, his brother Savage would freak out and attempt to kill
Vizsla, but he would be overwhelmed by the other death watch soldiers and would get killed
as well, probably taking a few soldiers down with him in the process.
And then Almec would either be executed on the spot or would be taken back to his cell,
either way, he’s out of galactic affairs too.
Now with his biggest threat gone, Pre Vizsla would continue his plans, which are to transform
Mandalore back to it’s old warrior ways from the past.
Doing so, he would reverse the pacifist laws implemented by the past government and replace
them with laws forcing mandatory military service to all able citizens.
Propaganda would be created to promote and praise Mandalore’s past warrior history,
while demeaning the pacifist era that led to the planet being pillaged by criminals
and gangsters.
Eventually Satine would be publically executed by Vizsla, an act that he had wanted to carry
out for many years.
And the public would cheer, believing Vizsla’s lies and propaganda of her abandoning Mandalore
when the gangsters attacked.
Labeling her as a traitor to the Mandalorian people.
In this new timeline, the siege of Mandalore by the Galactic Republic would never have
happened.
As we believe the reason that siege happened in the first place, was because the Jedi and
the republic believed Darth Maul was hiding on Mandalore after they confronted him and
linked him to the Mandalorians.
So, with Darth Maul being dead, the Republic would have no reason to invade Mandalore.
Pre Vizsla also held very isolationist views, only wishing to rule the Mandalorian planet.
He never wanted to expand onto other systems, and even got offended when Maul suggested
to use Mandalore as a secret headquarters while he created an underworld empire.
So Mandalore in this timeline would remain neutral for the rest of the clone wars, and
would only focus on building itself up.
But Mandalore wouldn’t stay out of conflict for long, as when the Galactic empire is created,
Mandalore, along with every other planet in the galaxy, would become a target for the
new galactic regime.
However, when the Empire attempts to capture Mandalore, they will find themselves in a
world of hurt.
As Mandalore would have built itself up so much, training its entire population into
soldiers, that they would be able to repel multiple invasion waves by the Imperial military.
This siege by the empire would look far different from the siege by the republic, as when the
republic invaded Mandalore, the planet was in the middle of a civil war between the death
watch and Maul’s loyal followers.
On top of that, Almec was the leader of the planet, and he had very little experience
leading a war.
So the Republic’s victory wouldn’t have been too difficult.
However, in this new timeline, Mandalore is fully armed and ready to take on anyone who
dared to attack them.
With the leadership of Pre Vizsla and his comrades, the Mandalorians would be able to
repeal all initial land invasions performed by the empire.
Now this would result in two possible outcomes, first would be that just like with the Protectors,
the Empire would strike a deal with the Mandalorians and form an alliance with them, by paying
them a hefty amount to keep them in their place.
The other possibility would be that the empire continues its attacks on Mandalore, and sends
in Darth Vader, who would eventually be able to penetrate the Mandalorian defenses.
And the chaotic battle would conclude with Darth Vader fighting Pre Vizsla, slaying the
Death Watch leader and claiming the darksaber for the Emperor.
And then Mandalore would fall to the empire.
Darth Maul’s death would also have major consequences outside of Mandalore as well.
The last time the Jedi saw Maul and his brother was when they barely survived their fight
against Obi Wan and Hondo’s gang, leaving the planet in an escape pod.
Afterwards Obi Wan would ask to continue his search for Maul, but would be denied by Palpatine
and the other Jedi, being told to only worry about him if he were to resurface again.
But he never would, so Obi Wan’s duel with him on Hondo’s planet would be the last
time he would ever see Maul alive.
The Death of Maul would also result in Mother Talzin surviving as well, as Maul was used
as bait by Darth Sidious after he captured him.
To which he led Darth Sidious and his minions to Mother Talzin, where she was permanently
killed by the Sith Lord.
But with Maul dead, Sidious would have no way of finding her, so she would survive for
a little longer.
But knowing Sidious, he would have figured out another way to track her down and would
have eventually killed her.
Maul’s death would have one final impact on one more group, and that being the Ghost
crew.
Because his death would lead to Mandalore to completely change, Sabine would probably
have never been able to join the Ghost crew, as she or her parents would have been forced
to combat the empire during their invasion of mandalore, probably leading to their deaths.
Also Maul would never have interacted with either Kanan or Ezra, so he never would have
influenced them.
Any changes past this are impossible to really play out, as we don’t know how the Ghost
crew fits into the greater rebellion that would lead to the fall of the galactic empire.
We don’t know if Ezra’s turn to the dark side could have been prevented if Maul never
talked to him, and how it will impact the greater future rebellion, or if it ever gets
the chance to.
