#Sam Witwer voiced it

[adh-d2]

Psst.

JediMaul AU nerds.

We just got the closest thing yet to a canon depiction of Maul's personality if he'd not been raised by a sociopath from infancy.

Dude's an enthusiastically affectionate goofy goober this is canon now pass it on.

[marcusagrippa]

anakin was not born with the teeth of a star-eater, ferrous-black and always dripping blood. his halo did not used to shine so brightly that it hurt his master's eyes, his skin did not always shift and ripple like the surface of a newly-forming planet as the magma churns beneath. his eyes used to be soft and blue and human. he did not grow into his own radiance like it was an oversized sweater, nor did it grow from within him, transforming him gradually from within; his greatness was thrust upon him by a creature who whispered dark promises with the voices of a thousand evil men. he does not want it, this power, and it does not want him.

he is glad his mother has never known him like this. in the depths of his spiralling despair he finds himself almost glad she died, so that she remembers him as human and not... this. supernova child, borne of the cosmos. sky-walker. he is not the son of the stars, he is the son of shmi - wide-eyed boy, sunburnt cheeks, shock blonde hair. the galaxy will not remember him that way.

they will know him as monstrous. she knew him as kind.

omg hiiiii sam witwer darth maul <3

[weregonnabecoolbeans]

Before I got into star wars, I saw Darth Maul’s face everywhere so I assumed he was like a major character in these movies

Imagine my surprise watching TPM for the first time

I was like why is everyone obsessed with this guy, why is he everywhere!?!

He had a cool battle with awesome music then just fucking died! He said like 2 sentences the whole movie!!

Then I watched The Clone Wars and Rebels (I had already seen Rebels growing up but apparently I blocked maul from my memory) and now I find myself completely obsessed with him so….jokes on me I guess :)

[captainshyguy]

[pacing] no but actually what did they put in close wars maul to make him so hot like what was that

[potentialcabinet]

sam witwer BLOWS IT OUT OF THE PARK with his voicing acting as darth maul. absolutely one of the strongest voice actors in the cast, and it really cements the complexity of maul’s character. phenomenal job

[on-a-quest]

While I'm not expecting the character of Marrok to turn into some big shocking reveal, there is a part of me that wants the face under that helmet to be Sam Witwer.

[edwardbonnets]

#is this a safe space.........#because um. maul during this arc. well 🥴

NO LISTEN I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH HIM EVER SINCE--

LMAOOO IM SO GLAD IM NOT ALONE like i've mentioned to my irl friends that maul is hot and they look at me like im insane

like yeah. is he bald and red and spiky and also a murderer???? yes. but also have people considered.........sexy voice and sexy character development

[claracivry]

palm tree and jasmine for the ask game

palm tree ⇢ do you have a fictional villain you shouldn’t like but love regardless?

I mentioned some of them before and idk if Nebula and Lila (tua) count? Because the did start as villain even tho now they're part of the gang. Oh also in the "are they even really villains they are so justified omg" Jin Guangyao from the untamed. He's right and he's allowed, I'm sorry.

Oh! Lately I've been on a Sam Witwer phase because of that guy in Ted Lasso that looks like him and he was greeeattt in Smallville as Doomsday. Also he was in OUAT as Mr Hyde and he didn't have a lot of screen time but he was HAWT in Victorian clothes (Sam Witwer. Not the Ted Lasso guy) (the ted lasso guy is apparently younger and british) (the more you know)

jasmine ⇢ do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again?

uuuuhmmm tht's tricky because why wouldn't I want to revisit if I liked it? Maybe Memento. I have such fond memory of it I dont want to watch it again and realise that "it wasn't that good, actually".

Thanks for asking! Sorry for that tanget in the first question lol

[lightsabergirl]

NO you don't understand!!!

I love him ❤️🖤

(the fact that he's also voiced by sam witwer????? I'm gonna scream omg)

someone pinch me

we got happy maul

we got happy maul, holding flowers

we got happy maul holding flowers in Lego form

oh my goodness

some of the great maul talk from amca 92 on "visions and voices" (rebels s3e11)

transcript under the cut

(audio from star wars: rebels s3e11)

darth maul: it is unfortunate about your friends, ezra, but this, this is your opportunity to embrace your destiny... as my apprentice.

ezra bridger: i told you, that is never going to happen!

darth maul: forget the past! forget your memories! forget your attachments. our futures converge on a planet with two suns; we can walk that path together! as friends! ...as brothers.

(audio from a more civilized age ep 92)

rob: ...with sam witwer putting in that work!

austin: every time!

rob: to the point where... he gets a shakespearean monologue here, and is in full--the tragedy of maul unfolding here as he tries to get ezra to join him one last time. and it becomes clear that for maul--all really maul wants--beyond just the revenge--he needs all this to not be meaningless!

rob: that is how it feels. the thing that haunts him is that he's become aware. like rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead type self awareness. that ultimately, his role in the story is episode one. he is an apprentice who shows up, he fights one duel where he appears to be tougher than they expect, and then... he kills qui gon and is slain as part of obi wan's journey to becoming the great obi wan kenobi, master of anakin skywalker and future teacher of luke skywalker.

austin: he's a character who knows that without his specific actions, he's only going to have two paragraphs on the wookiepedia. and he's like, "i ain't goin out like that. i'm a main character!"

rob: and because of those two paragraphs, everyone he's ever known has been wiped out. dathomir is gone. he had a brother: wiped out. everything he's ever attempted is crushed and erased from history.

austin: it's like, "okay, do you want some more paragraphs? okay! each one's gonna be a tragedy." and he's like: "give me another one. i want another one. i'm going to have as many paragraphs as any of these other motherfuckers. i'll take the tragedy! i want them. i want it all."

ali: he's going through it. there was a pause when he says "forget your past forget your memories." i think he's projecting a little bit...

austin: are you kidding me??

ali: i think it would be healthy if he took that to heart.

austin: listen to yourself, my man. it's great. yeah, "forget your past, forget your memories, forget your attachments." you are the most attached man in the world! and you are attached to: obi wan kenobi.

rob: the only person who remembers who he is!

natalie: it's true! the only one who witnessed him at his peak!

austin: well, at every stage, in a way.

natalie: yeah true true true.

rob: he's bound to this guy!

This is very exciting for the Star Trek fandom, obviously, and for all fandoms as star trek is responsible for so so much of the stuff we enjoy,

but in the excitement let us not overlook the fact that Darth Maul played young Kirk.

Sam Witwer, the voice of Darth Maul, played young Captain Kirk, presumably under the cgi

[clonebrainrot]

This is going to be tricky. But I think it’s going to be a landslide knowing how I post biased things. I absolutely think all these voice actors and actresses knocked it out of the park, but who’s your favorite/who did the best job?

Again I thought they all did wonderfully and this is where I wish I could make a poll with 30 options.
