Following the fall of the Jedi Order and the rise of the Empire, Maul: A Star Wars Story continues the journey of the former Sith Lord after his escape from captivity during Order 66, as seen in The Clone Wars finale. Now alone, betrayed, and presumed dead, Maul retreats into the shadows of the galaxy, where his hunger for revenge begins to evolve into something more calculated. We also venture into Maul's past where his brutal Sith training under Darth Sidious takes place while simultaneously Maul begins building Crimson Dawn, a powerful criminal empire he uses to manipulate galactic chaos to his advantage. In secret, he grooms a young apprentice—a future Darth Talon—with dreams of reclaiming the power denied to him. But his growing influence draws the attention of the Inquisitors, and eventually, Darth Vader himself. As Maul prepares for a confrontation with the Empire, his obsession with Obi-Wan Kenobi deepens, revealing the full psychological weight of their shared history. His hatred for both the Jedi and the Sith begins to blur, driving him further into madness and isolation. The film builds toward a devastating clash with Vader, and ultimately reveals how Maul was driven into exile on Malachor, where destiny will one day catch up with him—through the eyes of Ezra Bridger.
