The fact that Darth Maul’s Star Wars story nearly ended in Episode I is almost unbelievable, as he’s added so much to the wider lore since his ‘resurrection’ in Clone Wars. While his impact has been great, it’s never been greater than when Darth Maul nearly ended the Clone Wars itself after he claimed victory over both Count Dooku and General Grievous at the tail-end of the war.
