Last month, for the first edition, I presented the Night's King of Game of Thrones. Well for the editing of this month, we will leave the medieval world to go into the intergalactic space, but we will stay in the horned villains.
This month, the big one is the Sith lord and one of the most epic Star Wars villains, Darth Maul.
In the six Star Wars movies (soon seven), Darth Maul only appears in the first, where he plays the role of the main villain. Maul's mission is to find the Queen Amidala and take her back on Naboo to force her to sign a treaty with the CSI and at the same time, Sidious commands to Maul to kill the two Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi Wan, that protect the queen.
One of the features of Maul is his appearance. He is not a human, but a Zabrak, a humanoid species from the planet Dathomir, characterized by the horns they have on the head. But Maul also has the face completely covered with red and black tattoos and his red eyes are so piercing, that we could think that he scans your soul and guesses your fears just by looking at you. The eyes of the born killer. Wow.
But also, in the movie, Maul doesn't talk much, which adds a even more dark and mysterious side, because we don't really know what he thinks. And when he speaks, he has a serious and sinister voice that suits perfectly to the character.
And another feature of Maul is that he has a double lightsaber and he uses it with incredible efficiency. Maul has a fighting style both very acrobatic and aggressive, which makes of Maul a formidable fighter and very difficult to overcome. Even two Jedi knights, at the same time, have difficulties to fight him. During the final battle, Maul even manages to kill Qui-Gon, one of the jedi and main hero of the film. But soon after, Maul is cut in half by Obi-Wan and falls into a pit, disappearing into nothingness.
But contrary to what one might think (WARNING Spoil) ......
Maul is not dead. Although he was cut in half, he used his Sith training to survive and in The Clone Wars series, he is found, half mad and lost, by his brother Savage Opress. Maul is returned to Dathomir or he receives the help of his brother and the mother Talzin, a night sister. With her powers, Talzin built robotic legs to Darth Maul to enable him to walk again, and she cured him of his madness to remind him who he really is. And of course, the first reflex of Maul is to want revenge of Obi-Wan.
Finally, as a Sith, Maul has a sadistic mind and use all deceptions to take over his opponent. During his fight for revenge against Obi-Wan, he doesn't hesitate to remind, sadistically, to the Jedi, that he killed Qui-Gon, and for the first time, Obi-Wan seems to be invaded by anger. Sadistic.
Dark. Strong. Cruel. Sadistic. All these words define Darth Maul, and for that, he deserves his place in the most epic villains.
See you next month for the Third Edition and to
discover a new villain.
Mathias, the Killmaster \m/
