Whether it was lurking in exile, trying on a new set of robotic legs, or building a new crime empire, Maul never lost sight of his one, true, burning motivation — revenge against the man who'd bested him and literally split him in two.
Obi-Wan Kenobi had faced off against Maul at the Battle of Naboo and won. Though he was still a Padawan, Kenobi was able to beat Maul, sending him spiraling into seeming doom. The battle was epic, a lightsaber duel for the ages. Of course, Darth Maul was probably exhausted from just having battled and killed Obi-Wan's master, Qui-Gon Jinn. This may have contributed to Obi-Wan's success, though time would prove him to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, Jedi to have ever lived. It seemed like this would be the last time the two would ever meet, as their encounter ended with Maul being chopped in half, after all. But years later, the two would have a final showdown.
Though they wove in and out of each other's lives during the Clone Wars and beyond, it would be on Tatooine, the place of their first fight, where Maul would meet his final doom at the hands of Kenobi. Years after the fall of the Galactic Republic, Maul traced Kenobi to his desert hideout, where the Jedi kept a watchful eye on a growing Luke Skywalker. They would cross sabers once again, and the outcome would be the same, with Kenobi triumphant ... this time for good.
