Biography & Who is Darth Maul:
Though most of Darth Maul's origins are unclear, it is known that he is a native of Dathomir. Darth Sidious groomed him as a Sith Lord, and he harbored a deep desire to see the Jedi destroyed. He spent much of his life in hiding before his master let him go to kill Queen Amadala on the planet Tatooine's outer rim. He engaged in a brief combat with Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn, the person tasked with defending the queen, but he could not hit his objective. He later stood by Queen Amadala's side in her native world of Naboo. He engaged in combat with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi, his apprentice, there. He fought fiercely and with lightning quickness. He succeeded in killing Qui Gon, but Obi-Wan outmatched him, slicing him in half and causing him to die.
Darth Maul was believed to have died at that point; nonetheless, he lived on, albeit with a severely damaged psyche. Besides his hate of Obi-Wan, he could not recall anything or compose cogent statements. He made prosthetic legs resembling spiders and lived in the planet Lotho Minor's sewers by consuming rodents.
After a while, Maul was saved by his brother Savage Opress, who returned him to Dathomir, his homeworld, so that he could recover. There, the fallen Sith's body and mind were restored by Nightsister Mother Talzin using evil magicks. After recovering, he appointed Opress as his disciple and started wreaking havoc throughout the galaxy to attract Obi-Wan's attention.
He often defeated Obi-Wan Kenobi in dueling, demonstrating his continued strength as an opponent. He murdered Duchess Satine Kryze, Obi-Wan's ex-lover, in retaliation. But Darth Sidious, his old master, recognized a dark side ripple that this act caused—after killing Savage Opress, the Sith Master kidnapped Maul. Eventually, though, Maul managed to get out of captivity.
After being set free, Maul started planning the siege of Mandalore. He desired to enlist the aid of Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker to murder them both, thereby eliminating his greatest enemy and denying Darth Sidious access to his new pupil. Upon encountering Ahsoka Tano, the former Jedi, he professed his willingness to pledge allegiance to her. She refused, though, and he used his weapon against him while being held captive. Order 66 was carried out as he was traveling to stand trial on Coruscant. To divert attention and save Rex, Ahsoka decided to release Maul. Maul split the hyperdrive in two using only his strength, launching the spacecraft toward a nearby moon. He made off with the pod that Ahsoka had intended to use to flee, leaving her alone.
Maul established the criminal organization Crimson Dawn during the Empire's rule. Working out of his homeworld of Dathomir, Maul oversaw the criminal organization with the assistance of figurehead Dryden Vos, who used his boat to sail the galaxy by his master's wishes. Following his demise, Qi'ra, Dryden's first lieutenant, assumed leadership and collaborated closely with Maul to uphold their authority.
Subsequently, Maul found himself stuck on the planet Malachor. But Ezra Bridger, a teenage Jedi, came to his aid. Together, they scaled the planet's Sith temple to acquire a Sith Holocron. But Maul had kept the youngster in the dark about his genuine motivations. He intended to utilize the temple as a battle station to exact revenge on his adversaries. But he was unsuccessful, and after blinding Ezra's master, Kanan Jarus, he was forced to leave the planet on an inquisitor spacecraft.
Maul had yet to finish with Ezra. He followed him to the Ghost, his ship. There, he kidnapped the crew and made Ezra connect his Jedi Holocron from Malachor with Maul's Sith one to gain ultimate knowledge. This rite gave rise to visions for both. After that, Maul ran to his ship and exclaimed, deliriously, "He lives!" Maul and Bridger become telepathically connected as a result of the procedure. Ezra kept seeing glimpses of Maul, which nearly caused him to kill a pilot. After some time, Maul tracked out Ezra and transported him to Dathomir, his homeworld, where they learned that Obi-Wan Kenobi was still alive and that he was on Tatooine thanks to Nightsister's sorcery.
Maul made his way to Tatooine right after in an attempt to get his retribution, but after stumbling across the sandy landscape, he concluded that a different strategy was required. He used Ezra as bait to draw Obi-Wan out after tricking him into traveling to Tatooine. This was successful, and you can read the whole account of Maul and Obi-Wan's great combat here. Ultimately, Maul was defeated and passed away in Kenobi's embrace.
His Lightsaber:
Maul is distinguished from many other Sith lords by his distinctive red saber, which has two blades. Unlike most other humans, he possesses two kyber crystals, which he uses in his saber. When Maul ruled Mandalore during his lifetime, he also used the Darksaber.
Lightsaber Form:
Maul employs form 7, the Ferocity Form, the Way of the VornIt's, or Juyo. This is the final officially recognized type of Jedi lightsaber combat. It requires much mental concentration and is regarded as the most intense lightsaber battle. Because of its emotional toll on its user, its use was prohibited for Jedi. It was thought that taking on this form would cause Jedi to turn evil. Form 7 has several special moves, but what sets it apart is how heavily the user's movements are focused on battle. The duelist is employing this approach incorrectly if they are not letting the fight guide their movements.
