Solo: A Star Wars Story may not have been the blockbuster smash that Disney may have wanted, but it still received fairly favorable reviews. In a surprise end twist, the ex-Sith Darth Maul makes a cameo, and is revealed to be the master of the film’s main villain. It was a shocking reveal, especially considering it was Maul’s first appearance on the big screen since The Phantom Menace. Maul was probably the most well-received aspect of the much-maligned Phantom Menace, with hi𒀰s fight scene between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn highlighted as being one of the best in the🔥 franchise.

Maul’s appearance has a lot of fan service to it. Not only did the filmmakers bring back Ray Park to play Maul once again, they also brought in Sam Witwer, the voice of Maul in the TV shows, to provide the voice for the character in the big screen. Due to Solo’s underwhelming box office performance, it is not known what direction Maul’s character will go. Whatever set-u⛄p they had with the character may end ♑up in limbo for all we know, which will be unfortunate.

While Solo was Maul first cinema appearance in nearly twenty years, he has actually been a common presence in the Star Wars TV shows. After being cut by Obi-Wan at the end of Phantom Menace, Maul went MIA until it was revealed in the Clone Wars TV show that he survived. After turning up alive in the TV show, he would end up being a major antagonist. He becomes Obi-Wan’s arch-nemesis, vowing vengeance on the Jedi for what he did to him. He would later return in the Star Wars Rebels TV show, but that show takes place years after Solo. Though Clone Wars and Rebels are amazing TV shows, not a lot of people are exposed to them. To fill in that missing gap for some fans, here are the 25 Things Darth Maul Did Between The Phantom Menace and Solo.

25 Somehow🍌 Survived The End ඣ

An obvious thing that happened with Darth Maul between Phantom Menace and Solo is the fact that Maul somehow survived ♉being cut. After ending💝 Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi was able to finish the Sith by jumping over him, and slicing.

What remained of Maul would then fall down a shaft.

Miraculously, Maul was still alive when he fell down the shaft. He used the force to latch onto an air vent, and made his way to a trash container. He was able to keep himself alive throu🌱gh pure willpower. Willpower, and hatred. Hatred towards the Jedi that cost him everything. From that point forward, Maul vow🦂ed vengeance on Obi-Wan.

24 Transported To Lo♑thoღ Minor

The trash container that Maul found himself took him to the junkyard planet called Lotho Minor. There he was dumped and was left completely broken. The trauma of having his body cut, al🎃ong with being physically weak, had deteriorated his mind. All he can think about is his hatred for Obi-Wan, which was the only thing that was giving him life.

On Lotho, Maul came across♋ a snake-like creature called Morley. They struck a deal; Morley will bring in victims for Maul to consume, and he will have the leftovers. However, since Maul was literally half the man he used to be, he needed a new pair of legs.

23 𒅌 Got Ro🌼bot Spider Legs

Maul had lost half of his body to Obi-Wan and has been literally keeping himself alive through his absolute hatred towards the Jedi. Yet he couldn’t continue living as just a torso. He needed 𝕴legs to mo👍ve, and fortunately, the planet he was stranded on was a junkyard planet.

Using the metals and scraps lying around, he was able to construct himself a set of legs.

His new legs weren’t normal, bipedal legs. Maul created for himself spider-legs, because apparently, he didn’t✤ think he was scary enough as is. With his mind in complete shambles, he would hide within the tunnels of the junkyard planet, rambli♊ng to himself about his past life. Surviving off the victims that creature Morley provided him, Maul would be stuck on the planet until the Clone Wars.

22 Reunited Wi🧸th His Brother (And Was Healed By His Mother)

In the middle of the Clone Wars, Savage Oppress, the one-time apprentice of Count Dooku, was ordered by Lady Talzin of the Dathomirian to find Maul. It turns out Maul is Savage’s brother, a𓃲nd Lady Talzin is their mother. Savage found Maul in the depths of Lotho Minor. Maul was completely mad though; the only thing he can remember is his desire for vengeance against Obi-Wan.

Savage took Maul to Talzin, where sh🌟e is able to heal Maul’s mind with Dathomirian magick. Maul was completely healed mentally, but was upset to find that his former master, Darth Sidious, started the Clone Wars without him. He then started his own campaign for intergalactic conquest.

21 𝄹 Ended Colonists On 🍬Raydonia

After Maul’s mind healed, and his spider legs were replaced with more appropriate bipedal legs, his next goal was to get revenge on Obi-Wan Kenobi. In order to force the Jedi to come to him, he goes to a colony on the planet named Raydonia♔. The colony wa💮s under the protection of the Jedi Council.

Maul and his brother Oppress ended the colonists and sent a hologram message to the Jedi Council.

They demand that Obi-Wan comes to the planet alone. They threaten to end more people if they find out if he doesn’t come all by himself. Left with no choice, Obi-Wan Kenob🧜i is forced to go to Raydonia. After confirming Maul is the same Sith that ended his master, Obi-Wan is knocked out by Oppress.

20 Rematch With Obi-Wan, Rou🦩nd 1

After Maul and Savage Oppress captured Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi was quickly rescued by the bounty hunter (and former Sith apprentice) Asajj Ventress. Together, the two duel against Maul and Oppress. It was the first time that Obi-Wan and Maul fought against each other since their fateful match on Naboo in the climax of The Phantom Menace.

Obi-Wan and Asajj decided to retreat and leave the brothers stranded in the middle of space. Though he had failed at ending Kenobi, he waღs able to deliver a clear message to the Jedi Knight. The message was that he has returned, and he knows that Kenobi will go after him again.

19 ꦆ Took Charge Of A Group Of Pirateﷺs

Maul and his brother rampaged across the galaxy and were able to accumulate൩ a vast amount of currency. They used that currency to buy out a group of pirates on Florrum. Several pirates ques💜tioned the brothers; those that questioned were ended.

Hondo Ohnaka, leader of the pirate group, took shelter in his base on Florrum.

Maul and his pira🔜te allies assaulted Hondo’s base. He plans to take all of Florrum as his base of operation. Hondo was able to hold out until the Jedi Council were able to send two Jedi to stop Maul. These Jedi were Obi-Wan and Adi Gallia.

18 The End Of Jedi Adi ♒Gallia

Adi Gallia was a Jedi that was introduced in the prequel trilogy. She was mostly a background character in the movies. She had a much more active role in the Clone Wars TV show. In the show, she was one of the dozen recurring Jedi that helped the Galactic Republic during the course of the Cl♏one War.

Gallia went with Obi-Wan to Florrum. Their job was to stop Maul from taking over the planet. Obi-Wan fought against his nemesis Maul, 🎃while Gallia is forced to duel against Savage Oppress, Maul’s brother. The mighty Savage overwhelmed the Jedi, and she was ended by him. Her demise forced Obi-Wan to retreat, but not before he was able to take Gallia’s lightsaber with him.

17 Rematch With Obi-Wan, Round 2 (With His Brother) 🌟

After Adi Gallia’s demise, Obi-Wan was fo🐻rced to retreat within Hondo’s base on Florrum. To act like a decoy, Obi-Wan chooses to confront Maul and his brother alone. Using Gallia’s lightsaber, Obi-Wan dual-wields and fights against the brothers. It is one of Obi-Wan’s most heroic moments in the show; he was outmanned against two powerful force users, yet faced 🍌both gallantly.

When his back was literally against the wall, Obi-Wan was able to kick Oppress’ leg, forcing the latter to collapse.

Obi-Wan was then ab⛦le to use the distraction to take Oppress’ arm, forcing Maul to carry his brother away. Meanwhile, Hondo was able to convince Maul’s men to rejoin his pirate crew. Outnumbered, Maul and Oppress retreat from Florrum.

16 🌞 Teamed Up With Pre Vizsla

Mandalore was one of the neutral planets during the Clone Wars. It was ruled by the Duchess Satine Kryze, who wanted to escape the planet’s vi꧋olent warrior past, and desired to promote a more pacifistic role in the war. This created an uproar on the planet, creating a splinter group called Death Watch, 🍰who wanted to take back the planet.

The Jedi Council already stopped Death Watch, and their leader Pre Vizsla, earlier in the Clone Wars TV show. The ♈group eventually came across Maul and Savage Oppress, and they recognize they all share a⛎ mutual enemy. Maul and Death Watch decided to team up; their goal is to conquer Mandalore and get revenge on the Jedi.
