May The Fourth Be With You, Maul nation!!! 😈

Here's a collection of various Maul comic panels I have saved that I think are funny. There are some spoilers in this if you haven't read all of these comics, but I tried to mostly go for out of context.

Alt Text in images which I hope is okay and not confusingly put together or totally unnecessary in parts OR lacking in parts. (DM me for suggestions for them to be better if you feel they should be. since this post is Maul based, I kind of just skipped explaining who anybody is bc I guess my assumption is if you have any interest in this post anyway you're gonna know who those characters are, but I might be wrong about that lmk.)

Images #1, #2, & #3 are from Star Wars: Darth Maul — Son of Dathomir (2014;) Image #4 is from Star Wars: Darth Maul — Death Sentence (2012;) Images #5 & #6 are from Star Wars: Darth Maul (2017;) Images #7 & #8 are from Star Wars: Age of Republic — Darth Maul (2019;) Image #9 is from Star Wars: Darth Maul (2000;) Image #10 is from Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace (1999.)

[Miscellaneous character comic panels version HERE]

BONUS stuff from the AOTC screenplay...

1. Yoda probing the Dark Side.

In an earlier draft of the Attack of the Clones screenplay, Scene 51 (which I've already talked about here) ends with this comment by Mace, where he explains what Yoda is doing up in his quarters, followed up by Scene 52, showing Yoda meditating:

And it turns out, this is actually a mini plot point in this draft!

Since Qui-Gon's death, the Jedi are actually on the lookout for the remaining Sith Lord, waiting to sense even a trace of him... but then this happens.

And, like, nobody saw it coming! What the hell!

So that leads to this other cut scene (originally set right after Obi-Wan tells Anakin that Padmé "was happy to see us"), Scene 12, which features an evening conversation between Mace Windu and Yoda.

When Yoda says "the dark side of the Force clouds everything", that's not just an expression to say 'he doesn't know'.

The Dark Side has tainted everything around the Jedi, and THAT'S why the Sith have an advantage. Because they're used to it. They were 'born in the dark, molded by it'.

As a result... in this situation, they're the only ones who can foresee the possibilities of the future, while the Jedi are pretty much walking blind, in a fog.

It's not just that the Sith Lord is a master politician and the Jedi are politically inept. It's that, right now, he's the only one who can truly see the future and roll with it, while the only thing the Jedi can do is go forward, have their guard up and hope for the best.

Which a concept explored in the non-canon comic Sithisis from Star Wars: Visionaries (which, if I recall, was created by Derek Thompson after his regular interactions with George Lucas and a 45-minute interview with Ian McDiarmid)!

2. "Sifo-Dyas", aka Sidious

Okay, so some of y'all probably already knew this tidbit. I did, but didn't know it was in this draft of the script so it was a fun surprise:

Sifo-Dyas was originally a pseudonym used by Darth Sidious.

Throughout the script, his name is spelled "Sido-Dyas" (which sounds a lot more like "Sidious").

And when it comes to the mysterious Sido-Dyas, the Jedi talk about him like they've never heard of him before and full-on say he's an imposter.

At some point, there ended up being a typo in the scene where Obi-Wan talks to Lama Su, and the word was mispelled "Sifo-Dyas" and eventually Lucas decided to make him a different character.

Also the Tyranus who hired Jango Fett is referred to as "Darth Tyranus", in this draft, which I guess was changed because it was gonna be to obvious.

But it does indicate that after TPM, they concluded that Darth Maul was the Master, not the Apprentice.

3. Are Yoda and Padmé friends...?

Okay so there's this moment here:

Yoda taps Padmé with his cane!

Thus CONFIRMING that poking/tapping/hitting people with his cane is Yoda's love language!

Seconds later, there's also this line where Yoda tells Padmé to reign the selflessness and politics back and accept their help:

First off, I'm just picturing Padmé just casually kneeling so she can be at Yoda-height and I'm dying!

But also, like... he calls her "Padmé". They're on a first-name basis!

To me, that's gotta be an implication that in the 10 years between TPM and AOTC... I dunno, Padmé visited the Temple while Anakin was off-planet or just met Yoda at a meeting, and now they've formed a bond and they're pals.

If that's the case, then their Ilum mission in Clone Wars (2003) takes a whole new aspect.

And if we're rolling with this idea... how much of Padmé did Yoda see in Luke?? None? Some?

I think it's a case of when Luke is screwing up royally "he's just like Anakin ffs" and then the few times he's actually listening "nice to see you inherited some of your mother's sense!"

Bear in mind, these bits of dialog never made it on the screen but they did make it to the "final" version of the screenplay published in The Art of Attack of the Clones. So if I had to guess the reason for deletion, it was probably for pacing purposes.

Bonus:

Yoda introducing the younglings in his care is such an adorable thing.

Just in general, this scene is great. George Lucas had this to say in the AOTC commentary track:

"This is a chance for me to play with that more mischievous side of his character and get away from the 'official, serious Yoda' that ends up [...] on the Jedi Council, where he really isn't allowed to be as fun and tease people. In this environment with the kids, he's able to lighten up a little bit, which I really wanted to do for his character. It's much more what his character is in the other movies, especially in Empire Strikes Back."

But also... like Yoda is hyping up the younglings! Is that a thing?

Did Dooku & Yoda have competitions and introduce their respective clans like hype men? I'm picturing a scene where Yoda's like:

Yoda: "To a competition, the mighty Bear Clan challenges the Thranta Clan!" Bear Clan younglings: "GROOAAAAH!"

And Dooku is like:

Dooku: "The gallant Thranta Clan is ready to clean the floors with the Bear Clan whenever you want!" Thranta Clan younglings: *POSE MAJESTICALLY*

Glorious...

Dooku: *coming back from Force ghost land to visit his Sith lineage* Hello, I just came to- Dooku: *sees Maul shoving Sidious into the washing machine while Vader records and Ventress watches* Dooku: *retreating* Something suddenly came up.

"He had just completed a series of exercises that had him running up sheer, icy slopes and then coming down as fast as he could. He knew he had performed well, and he'd hoped that his Master might praise him. Instead, his Master raised a hand and used the Force to lift Maul's small body, tossing him into the middle of the lake." (Windham, 86).

A good example of how Maul basically lives on praise at this point. It seems to be the only reward he longs for, and the only reward he is given. Only sometimes, though. As seen here.

I assume that no health and safety requirements were built into Maul's training. I doubt Sidious even taught him how to safely scale these slopes.

It's odd that Sidious always chooses a 'sink or swim' approach to his apprentices, given the incredible value and rarity of force sensitives under his complete control.

Perhaps this is a flaw? A type of arrogance, believing that his spiritual progeny can survive and overcome any wound.

He isn't wrong.

i am feeling mean, so for the reverse unpopular opinion thing:

palpatine

I just... I just love how his face looks like flattened-out ballsack and how he personally makes it his job to destroy everything I adore the most in Star Wars....?? 🥺

No, I can do this.

Palpatine is an incredibly effective, winning villain, and the way he does it is endlessly fascinating to me: the way he can make people betray themselves. Sure, he seems to have genuinely insane Dark Side abilities, perhaps the ability to manipulate the Force itself, he's almost unbeatable with a lightsaber, but the tactic he seems to use most successfully onscreen is fucking charisma. He weaponizes friendship. He's able to take well-trained adults with full emotional support systems and sell: "you're rightfully mad at the broken system, okay, now destroy everything you love?" and make it WORK. He has all these terrifying abilities, but the go-to thing he uses most devastatingly is pretending to listen and support these people who then end up giving him everything against their best interests.* *Maul actually being somewhat of an exception to this, sometime I really want to write up something about how interesting he is as an exception to Sidious's tried and true Apprentice Formula

Anyone who wants to play, send me a reverse unpopular opinion character! :D Or reblog the post so I can send you one!

#THANKS A LOT BOLI >:{#just kidding this was actually a ton of fun genuinely thank you #sidious #I was going to say he makes intelligent people betray themselves but I'm looking at Dooku and Anakin both like uhh #he has a type #talented idiots

was having this convo on tiktok but i think even if padme didnt marry anakin she would have died. she was loved by people and she was a popular senator who was loudly against palpatine’s policies. i can’t see a way palpatine would have let her live. she’d probably have died because he’d have her killed if i’m being honest💀💀

he knows she would be the symbol for the rebellion. the difference is that palpatine just manipulated anakin to hurt her😭😭

#star wars #padme naberrie #padme amidala #sheev palpatine #sidious #fuck palpatine #padme deserved better

I read this take from time to time...

"If you ask me, what would happen if Qui-Gon survived his fight against Maul, is that he'd leave the Order to train Anakin, and he'd turn out fine."

No?

What would happen is that Darth Sidious - most powerful Sith in history - would track them down, make short work of Qui-Gon, and kidnap Anakin.

Result: Anakin would become a Sith about a decade earlier than he did.

Or maybe Qui-Gon goes to Dooku, who has not been a Jedi for a while, now (not realizing that Dooku is ALSO a Sith Lord who had his own sister murdered, as well as his long time friend Sifo-Dyas). Dooku tries to get him to join the Dark Side. Qui-Gon realizes that his master is a Sith and rightly rejects him.

Dooku - once the second strongest Jedi in the Order - makes short work of Qui-Gon, and kidnaps Anakin.

Result: Anakin would become a Sith about a decade earlier than he did.
