Ezra, Kanan, and Ahsoka arrive at Malachor, a seemingly dead world and home to an ancient Sith Temple, but they are not alone. Paths cross, destinies change, and fates are fulfilled.[4]
this is a way to prevent masters killing there apprentices early and vice versa if sith didn't do this type of stuff the sith would have killed themselves thousands of years ago
I can imagine them all gathered in a circle dressed in cloaks like some Eyes Wind Shut shit, and there’s one in the middle who falls back for a trust fall and they catch him with the force.
+ANGRY FUCKING -DREADNOUGHT I like how in the SW universe: The Dark side corrupts you with greed and emotions. The Light is blinding, making you ignorant. Gray area exists as a balance between both, arguably a superior path that few take. Yet to partake of both has the potential to create pure Evil, such as Abeloth.
Bane era Sith are the only Sith worth being. Pre-Bane? You have literally armies of rivals and former Masters and Apprentices breathing down your neck and trying to kill you. Bane era? It limits the blood shed, and you actually get shit done. Kind of like how the Jedi Order before Luke fucking sucked and wasn't worth anything, but after Luke, it's actually an Order worth joining, actually...
Sith code: Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. Jedi Code There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force. Grey Jedi Code Flowing through all, there is balance There is no peace without a passion to create There is no passion without peace to guide Knowledge stagnates without the strength to act Power blinds without the serenity to see There is freedom in life There is purpose in death The Force is all things and I am the Force
Cake.. is a lie, there is only Pie. Through Pie, I gain calories. Through calories, I gain weight. Through weight, my belt is broken. The Force shall feed me!
Darth Maul isn't wrong when he said you had to know your enemy to defeat them. That is in fact one of the teaching of the great strategist Sun Tzu, " Know your enemy and yourself and victory will never be out of reach."
+Wylf But the Art of War applies to war, and we are watching a show called Star Wars. Fair game if you ask me. Besides, Sun Tzu has some incredibly awesome quotes no matter the era. "Never venture, never win!"
+Mark Oehler I don't know whether they done any research on the topic, but some of the stuff they say here, do have real life psychology reference. All psychology study have prove, human emotions are unreasonable, irrational and not predictable. Study have found, if you repeatly tell a person he is a murder for 3 hours and put him on a lie detector and he say he is not a killer, it would register as a lie. because, despite, he know he isn't a killer, he would feel as if he is, after hearing people accusing him of it, for 3 hour. Thus, human emotion are totally irrational. As human, there is an important to be logical then emotional. This doesn't mean having no emotions, but to better manage your emotions, because there are time where you can be emotional and there are time where you can't. For example, image yourself loosing your temper and bash somebody up, out of blind rage. For example, rape. People have a hate to rapist and a passion to protect rape victim, however, this passion frequently lead people to be trusting towards people who claim to be victim of rape and is becoming increasingly the case, today, what that mean, is that, is somebody lie about been rape, people would be trusting towards him/her and become a tool for the bad person to achieve her goal. Within the past ten years there have been a steady rise of false rape, accusation, today only 20% of reported rape cases can be confirm as rape really took place. There are increase case of women lying about been rape, for insurance fraud, there are cases where women accuse a man of rape because he choose another women over him (once upon a time, obsessive women like these stalk you, till you need to call the cops, today women like these lie to the cops about you raping her, this way, if she can't have you, nobody else can have either. It is crazy) there are many cases of repeat victim that accuse their boy friend of rape, after he dump her, there was even those who cause damage to other people's property and then lie about been rape, so they don't need to pay for the damage, I heard a case where a woman want to murder this guy A, so she lie to a few other guys about guy A raping her and those other guys join together to kill guy A (WTF?) So, emotional management is very important, if you can't manage your emotion well and let yourself be run by it, could lead you to do great evil. In fact, a lot of study have found, even a desire to help people, can have bad result. There are time where you can be emotional and other time you can't. But, what people find is that, emotion can also give you a strong energy to achieve a goal, for example, in war, soldier usually fight harder, in face of certain death. but the impulse associate with it, if not well manage can be counter productive. For example, the desire to protect rape victim, if we can manage the impulse, we will know to conduct fact check first, before coming to a conclusion and then, the liars won't be able to use us and we can fulfill the passion desire to protect rape victim, without the risk of been manipulate by liars. In star war, we see similar, the Sith become the slave to their emotion. it give them great energy
I love just how engrained the Sith Code is in Maul. Remember when his brother found him? He was crazy but still still rambling a variant of the Sith Code...he’s built his entire life around it.
@Daniel Ochalion You had no need to throw “actually” in that sentence; I am not speaking of his beginnings, I’m speaking strictly of when his brother found him in the dump when he had his mechanical spider legs. So, actually it was you who misunderstood what I was trying to say; I was in no way trying to insinuate his brother had anything to do with Maul’s Sith training.
@Daniel Ochaion Um, no. I just said the sith code was so engrained in his personality that even in the grips of insanity where little to none of his actual personality remained, he was still repeating a variation of the Sith Code thus exemplifying just how imprinted it was on his personality (and how tainted by it) he was regardless of what he done. Mayl WAS helpless precisely because of what Sidious done to him; which is something I never even came close to insinuating didn’t happen even though you were suggesting I was either ignoring or just didn’t know. Well, I did know and I wasn’t ignoring it. You just didn’t understand what I was saying.
I would love to get a story where a Jedi and a Sith team up and go on adventures together. The Sith tries to corrupt the Jedi but fails or sees there is no need and even learns a thing or two in the light side due to them and the Jedi tries to redeem the Sith but sees no success in it and indeed learns lessons from them
But they don't use the EU they are using the Disney "timeline" the "general public for money one" x) And oh sorry of course Disney has no influence on the show, they just put a lot of money in it. . .
You're maybe right so I didn't know it. I just hate TFA because it's not "lore-friendly" nor a good Star Wars ^^ Maybe Disney didn't do anything but I'm not so sure
@@hobbitgeek7588 it was confirmed even earlier, when they showed Savage finding Maul, while Maul is muttering nonsense he also says "I have fallen and am now free! The chains... the chains were the easy part, but its what goes on in here thats the hard part" while pointing at his head. This quote was later repeated by the Son in the Mortis arc to Ahsoka. This references the last few lines of the Sith Code, where it states; Through victory, my chains are broken. The force shall free me.
Not entirely true, it's not really that much of a kids show and if you say because it's on Disney XD then , I will say So was Naruto and that show/world was violent as fuck.
it pretty much just depends on how much freedom they're giving Filoni and the TCW crew with each episode, and which ones are just completely written by Disney
To be fair, you could say that about some of the dialogue in the movies. There were some corny lines in the original trilogy. “Good . Our first catch of the day.” Empire Strikes Back.
A really cool character, killed off with a single voice line. Then brought back in a ludicrous manner and given spectacular character development and possibly the best final fight and death scene in the setting.
Peace is a Lie. There is only Passion....Through Passion I gain Strength.... Through strength, Power.....Through power, I gain Victory. With Victory my chains are broken....The Force shall set me Free!!!!
+Gaven Jr There must be both dark and light. I will do what I must to keep the balance, as the balance is what holds all life. There is no good without evil, but evil must not be allowed to flourish. There is passion, yet peace; serenity, yet emotion; chaos, yet order. I am a wielder of the flame; a champion of balance. I am a guardian of life. I am a Gray Jedi.
I think Maul likes Ezra.He helps him how to wield the rocks and I guess that he has some trust in him.I actually feel sad that they didn’t become friends.But the saddest part for me is that he died and so unhappy.On the other side I’m glad that he realized what him and Obi Wan were threw,how both of them became alone and lost everything.Darth Maul is definitely my FAVORITE Star Wars character.
Yeah in a scene later on he seems genuinely hurt that he doesnt want to join up with him. "We could have been brothers" or something like that 😥 Really sad when you realize what little companionship the guy had throughout his miserable life.
@@BreMue that was in the literal next season (this is the episode before the season 2 finale, you are talking about an episode halfway through season 3)
I really kinda wish we had seen Maul become a genuine anti hero. He's such an interesting character and to see him learn to forgive Obi-Wan would have been great character development.
Yeah I have a love/hate relationship with his story at the end. If he had to die, I think the way they did it was perfect , but I really do wish we saw more "good"? Maul.
I don’t think of maul as good, necessarily. I just see him as a villain who’s interests align with the protagonists. The way Zaheer guides Korra despite how she was his biggest adversary. Basically Maul is guided by his own interests and desires and it happens to be where he allies himself with Ahsoka and Ezra. In the end, he’s still consumed by the dark side and ironically didn’t break his chain until his dying breath.
@@mons3020 peace is a lie there is only passion through passion I gain strength through strength I gain power through power i gain victory through victory chains are broken the force shall free me
Without also being a complete piece of shit too, might I add. I'd take Maul as a teacher over any other dark sider- shit probably some light siders too
@@BreMueProlly true, because he experienced a lot of pain and betrayal from his former teacher and the Sith in general. So he is not blindly following their rules, he can think critically. Unless it's about killing Kenobi, then all brain goes out the window :D
I love how Maul has gone from a simple warrior to something of a dark side Yoda here. He plays the buffoon for a little bit, then flexes with knowledge.
Maul really is telling the truth when he said he got weak, at the end of Clones Wars he was able to rip a shits engines apart with ease, that Maul would have no problems lifting those stones.
1. Age 2. He talks about knowing your enemy and practicing their beliefs, he could have dabbled in the Light Side and when Siths take lessons from the light and practice it, they grow weaker. But thats legends I believe.
I believe that his anger had just basically got cold. It's not like he had forgotten it, but it's hard to keep passions high in complete isolation for years. However, the more he comes back to the conflict, the higher he stands, the more of his strength comes back, the more strenght comes into his voice. He had just become lethargic after a long period of time of being alone, removed from conflict and relationships, good and bad, that the sith draw their powers from. Once he tasted adrenaline and battle again, his strength returned.
This part of the Sith temple is deliberately designed so that both a master and an apprentice are required to pass, just as the Jedi Temple on Lothal required both a Jedi knight and padawan to enter. Even Sidious himself would only be able to lift one at a time because that's how the ancient Sith crafted it. The force itself is responsible for their weight not their mere physical size.
I never noticed how mauls eyes change in how yellow they are as he talks. Showing how he has become gray and in the middle just like ashoka . Only maul is more chaotic while ashoka is more lawful.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.
+Li Henry by itself the Sith code is actually a very good thing, its all about being strong enough that you are free. The problem is so many Sith become corrupted by the power and seek more thus swapping one set of chains for a different set
I love the fact that even though Maul is encouraging the Dark Side in Ezra and is even reciting the Sith Code, he clearly doesn't consider himself a Sith and in fact considers himself an enemy of the Sith. The Sith are backstabbing idiots obsessed with personal power, and who betrayed him twice. It makes total sense that, despite living by the code, he would hate the Sith.
Just there is different shades light grey and dark grey. I see Old Maul as dark grey Jedi. The aggression side of being a grey Jedi while Asoka is more of peaceful side of grey Jedi.
It's interesting how the Sith created a system in where cooperation is not only encouraged but necessary, but when it comes to Jedi it's often all about solitude and being alone.
The way that Ezra feels increasingly exhausted from the effort makes me think the system is deliberately meant to force the ones lifting them to draw power from their anger and frustration. The stones are a method of dark side indoctrination and reinforcement which is what Maul himself was hoping with Ezra. It's a direct mirror to the Jedi Temple on Lothal, as that too required a Jedi and padawan working in sync to rotate the temple and gain entrance.
I like how maul isnt making the dark side sound evil, he says to use emotions like passion and stuff to have power, It makes me wish there was a sith in canon that was an in-between
Maul is perhaps the greatest character in the entire Star Wars saga. He, through experience, learns that both the Jedi and the Sith are narrow-minded. It is only when you are open to both the Light Side and the Dark Side, do you become complete. I understood that when he said you need to practise your enemy's beliefs.
I know you commented about a year ago, but I wanted to jump on your comment. Maul and Ahsoka are interesting characters. If you can define a Grey Jedi as if it was Canon, I believe you could really put Ahsoka and Maul in the same conversation. The difference of course is that Ahsoka was trained by Jedi since a young age. Her beliefs and sense of justice is carried out by the way she was raised keeping a positive sense of beliefs. Maul on the other hand is similar, but was trained by the sith at a young age. His sense of belief is built on his emotions, but he does have a sense of justice that could be argued as justifiable. Maul wanted to kill Anakin to stop Sidious. When Ahsoka told Maul that he only wanted to stop Sidious to take his place, I don’t believe that was his goal at all. In the end his emotions drove him to death. A lot of people feel like Maul had some character growth in his final words. I truly believe that Obi Wan was sad that Maul could not let go of his emotions and even in his final moments he wished to be “avenged” for being tossed aside by Sidious. That’s not the Jedi way wishing to be avenged. But, rather, I think it’s the most human way of thinking.
In any case, I feel Maul is much more intelligent than Obi Wan. During Obi Wan's fight with Anakin on Mustafar, he lectures Anakin saying only a Sith deals in absolutes. Yet he berates Anakin for being imperialistic and prides himself for being democratic. Isn't that ideological absolutism? Also he tells Anakin he became the very thing he swore to destroy. In other words, becoming a Sith. Obi Wan prides himself for being a Jedi and a democrat. Well isn't that hypocrisy? He is an absolutist after all. Maul sees both sides of the coin. The only reason he lost to Obi Wan is plot armour. Same goes for Anakin.
@@blakemayo2898 Crazy how maul gets like 10 minutes of screen time in ep 1 and never again and then reappears years later to become one of the coolest character
+Nicholas Peterman +The HaChiMaki plus, Savage was a crappy apprentice, were it not for the spell he was under. And it was Darth Sidious himself, anyone could've gotten killed that way.
The HaChiMaKi Maul was in no way responsible for getting Savage killed once he found his brother after discovering he was force sensitive he started growing his power base while training Oppress in the ways of the darkside Sidious discovered this and took it upon himself to get ride of Savage and have Maul once again serve his whims
Maul died after a very tough life. He was neglected and tortured at a very young age, had to survive after his legs were chopped off and tortured by sidious. He also was forced to join the dark side against his will. Evil is not born, it is taught. -Mother Talzin
I know it's been I think four years of Rebels, but I love rebels! Rebels more than the Clone Wars, that's what got me into Star Wars so much, this scene speaks to me a lot of my own struggles, we all have a Dark Side of the Force in us and it's our choice to either embrace it or overcome it.
Even before he revealed his face, I knew who he was. But still, the moment he took off his hood, showed his face, and properly introduced himself.... that sent chills down my spine!
I like how Maul doesn't hurt the boy to teach him Sith stuff, he just gives him solid advice. So Ezzra doesn't hate him and allows him to have his duel with OB-1.
DAMN "My master wouldn't approve of that last part (practicing the Sith to destory the Sith)" "Then he is doomed to fail" excellent foreshadowing. The *real* chosen one practiced the dark side of the force and ultimately ended it
Out of all people it was actually Maul proving that neither light nor dark side are initially driving this eternal war - it's the people using them to their personal gain. Ezra didn't succumb to the dark side, despite using it here. Even with the influence of the holocron, he never fully snapped.
Rebels isn’t my favourite but I enjoyed watching Ezra and maul form a bond, it’s funny maul started off on screen as that guy who got cut in half in the first movie we saw him in and over the years they’ve given him more depth in the shows clone wars and rebels, watching his bond with savage, then his attempt to form a partnership with ahsoka in clone wars and of course here with Ezra really shows you that beneath all that hatred it stems from loneliness, I mean there’s more to it but to me that is a huge part of his character, he was made into a weapon by sidious, orphaned, and discarded, he desires a friend, he doesn’t go about it in the right way at times yes but still the villains and anti heroes are quite often more fascinating than the heroes, great thing about Star Wars is once you read up on the other Jedi and sith, you realise there are a lot of fascinating characters that should be expanded upon
I was biting my nails this scene. Every time Ezra helped him open up the stones and just descended further into darkness..I was like nooooooooooo! Such a dark scene.
So I will be honest, at first I was very much against this show but seeing how much they are improving as they go on, Im thinking of giving it a chance. Honestly, I've never been a huge fan of the direction they took Rebels, and truth be told the place where I think Star Wars shines the brightest is in KOTOR 1 and especially KOTOR 2 which both take a very mature stance in the Star Wars universe rather than a family oriented one, which is why I loved both Clone Wars, and yes, the second one did start off kind of the same way but it began to gain ground nearly right off the bat for me.
+TheDarkSider If you are looking for Dark, this episode was extremely dark. So it may be a good point to jump in. The first season was a bit too upbeat though.
Streetkillz13 I agree, I tried to watch it but I just really couldn't get into it. like I remember how they debuted the 2nd clone wars series with the Clone Wars movie which did have it's child element in Jabba's son but it had alot more complexity and was 10000 times more interesting than the pilot episode of Rebels and I watched up until episode 4 and it really couldn't click with me at all so I lost interest and had a negative view on the show, then, I saw the season 2 trailer and thought "hey, its a great start" and now that I've seen how they tie Maul back into the fold, this makes for a very very interesting show that at first had no life but is now getting life force pumped into it. Thanks
"Peace is a lie. Through passion i gain strength. Through strength i gain power. Through power i gain victory. Through victory my chains are broken" This is the true way of the dark side
Sith : you're a slave to your emotions Jedi : once you start to feel something,you won't be able to control it so you turn Sith Grey jedi : I use the force the way I want god dammit
Bit like crystal meth, probably. Quick bursts of intense, powerful rage/aggression that can overcome almost any enemy with sheer brutality, but each time you allow yourself to indulge your worst emotions you take a month off your life and etch another few scowl lines in your face. But that's the thing: a warrior does what he fucking MUST, then worries about what he SHOULD do. Because otherwise he's a dead warrior, and only the Jedi who sell the most cookies at the bake sale get to come back as ghosts... it must be nice to squat on a pillow somewhere and meditate while the universe burns. I'd rather be hanged for my sins than hang myself for my regrets. In Apocalypse Now, Col. Kurtz said "It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are truly enemies to be feared."
Bumble Bee Darth Maul is much cooler! I love how he is a Rouge Sith from the Clone wars. If I was a Sith I would probably find a sith temple like maul and take over making it my base. I would not be on the Empires side. I would study all that the temple has and become a powerful sith lord. I would not follow the rule of two and have many sith followers not just one. I would attempt to bring back the Old sith ways and create a Sith Empire.
Yow Yaya Darth Vader "defeats" Sidious. Anakin is a jedi. The enemy of jedi is sith. Anakin (a jedi) became Vader (a sith). As Anakin became vader he knew his enemy and practiced their beliefs. Sidious was "defeated" Anakin.
From what I've seen of Clone Wars and Rebels, Maul always etablished pecking order as him being master, but always has some compassion set aside for his apprentice afterwards; we saw it with Savage Opress, and here he does something similar with Ezra
As the last stone thudded to the ground behind him, Ezra sank to the ground, exhausted. Even tapping into his emotions, Force-lifting those stones had taken a lot out of him. Not as much as it would have done if I'd done it the Jedi way, though, he thought. The amount of power he'd felt at his fingertips when he let those feelings run through him... it was intoxicating. Addicting, even. What other feats could he accomplish with power like that? He was starting to understand why the Sith existed, why they would allow themselves to be swayed to the Dark Side. What sentient without Jedi training could resist the lure of power like that? Old Master coughed in the dust kicked up by the stone, and knelt beside him. The elder's hand landed on his shoulder. "Unless you take risks," the old man counselled, "do what must be done, there will always be limits to your abilities. Seize the knowledge, seize the power! Do not become like me, Jabba." Old Master took Ezra by the arm and helped him back to his feet. Ezra was already mulling over his words. Unless you take risks... On the street, he'd lived by taking risks. Measured risks, yeah, but risks. Since joining the Ghost crew, he'd become more careful, less willing to risk everything. Perhaps that was because he now felt like he had something to lose. But he couldn't help but feel like maybe, if he'd been a little more daring, a little more risky, they might have done more to wound the Empire. Maybe it was time to take another risk. "My name's Ezra," he said. "My real name." "Real... name?" Old Master said hesitantly. Then he nodded. "Yes. I once had a real name. So long ago that I... don't remember..." He sounded absolutely heartbroken, and Ezra felt a stab of pity for this old man - losing everything to the Sith, even his own name, and ending up stranded on one of their planets to die alone. How cruel was that? But his pity gave way to curiosity as Old Master reached up and took off his hood. A long, thin face. Black and red skin, like the rest of him, forming intricate red tattoo-like markings. No hair and a crown of ivory horns, dulled by time. Faded gold eyes stared into Ezra's blue ones. "Now," said Old Master, "now, I am called... MAUL."
"I am not a man of words. But I respect the power of words, for that is what transformed me. The words of the Sith Code. Others had heard them, contemplated them, and so on. But I understood them, and they changed me. For what was I before I heard those words? Nothing" Darth Bane
