Darth Maul debuted as a fearsome villain with few speaking roles, but later stories featured several memorable and highly intimidating quotes from him.

This is Darth Maul in his most dangerous form

Maul had a long history in war of starseven after he apparently died in The Phantom MenaceHe has risen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars from the Nightsisters of Dathomir, and he terrorized the galaxy for a long time without a Sith Master. He eventually took control of Mandalore before Order 66 and then became leader of the Shadow Collective, a group of crime syndicates. Maul has always been a dangerous user of the dark side, but this Black Series figure shows the moment when he was at his deadliest.

After being cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi on Naboo, Maul lost more than just his legs. Darth Sidious abandoned him and Maul was left without a Sith Master or any form of leadership. This Black Series figure, however, shows Maul at his absolute most dangerous. The Sith were thought to be extinct for 1,000 years before The Phantom Menaceand Maul’s ambush against Qui-Gon and Anakin came as a complete surprise because of this misconception. Maul had his Sith training, the element of surprise and the opportunity on his side when Qui-Gon was separated from his Padawan and on foot.

Darth Maul

Darth Maul, Palpatine’s apprentice, was nothing more than a tool to decimate the Jedi ranks before Darth Sidious could realize his true plans. After being defeated by Obi-Wan Kenobi on Naboo, Darth Maul swore vengeance on all those he blamed for his past battles – Jedi and Sith alike. Maul operated more covertly, leading various syndicates and even becoming a true rival to Palpatine on at least one occasion. He was eventually killed by Obi-Wan in a duel on Tatooine.

Maul was at his most dangerous when he rode the Sith speeder, and Hasbro has nailed the look of such a deadly Sith apprentice. Everything from his cape and cowl to the speeder itself looks true to the movies. Seeing Maul in so much detail underscores just how dangerous – and terrifying – he was when he hunted Qui-Gon and Anakin. Hasbro’s Black Series Darth Maul figure shows exactly why the Jedi wouldn’t even consider the idea that the Sith had returned when The Phantom Menace: that was a very disturbing thought.
