Maul Reveals His True Enemy with His Last Words
When Maul was dying, he spoke to Obi-Wan Kenobi.
With his last breath, he said, “He will avenge us.”
These words hinted that Maul finally realized who was truly responsible for his suffering.
Despite his lifelong feud with Kenobi, Maul’s last words showed that he hated another character even more: Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious.
Maul’s hatred for Palpatine was much deeper than his hatred for Kenobi.
Palpatine took Maul from his family and tortured him, shaping him into a weapon of hatred.
Maul’s entire life was controlled and manipulated by Palpatine.
Palpatine not only replaced Maul but also killed his brother Savage Opress and helped in killing Maul’s mother.
Palpatine’s influence poisoned every part of Maul’s life, making him chase after goals that were never truly his own.
Kenobi Takes the Blame for Maul’s Suffering
Maul’s hatred for Kenobi was intense, but it was more of a distraction.
Kenobi defeated Maul and took his legs, leaving him with a burning desire for revenge.
However, this hatred was secondary.
As one fan commented, “Maul hated Kenobi by incident. He hated Palpatine by design.”
This means that while Kenobi was a target Maul could realistically fight, Palpatine was the one who truly shaped Maul’s tragic fate.
Many fans have discussed Maul’s complicated feelings.
One fan noted, “Maul’s hatred of Obi-Wan Kenobi is well documented,” but his last words show he understood that both he and Kenobi were victims of Palpatine.
Another fan said, “Poor Maul, he was a victim of his own life,” highlighting how deeply Palpatine’s actions affected Maul.
Maul Understands His True Enemy in His Final Moments
In his final moments, Maul found some clarity.
He understood that Palpatine was the real villain who had destroyed his life.
Even though Kenobi had defeated him, it was Palpatine who had caused Maul the most pain.
As another fan put it, “Maul hated Palpatine more than Kenobi because Palpatine took everything from him.”
Maul’s last words revealed his true feelings.
He finally realized that Palpatine was the source of all his suffering.
Despite all the battles and conflicts with Kenobi, it was Palpatine who had manipulated and ruined his life from the very beginning.
