* CurbStompCushion: The epic Sith fight is this: While Sidious ends up winning the fight anyway, the brothers still managed to put up an actually decent fight in swordplay, tossing him off the balcony of the castle and giving him a bit of trouble in splitting them up. Maul alone also manages to put up a pretty good fight, even kicking Sidious and forcing him on the backfoot for a while.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Sidious doesn't kill Maul, claiming he still needs him for "other uses". This SequelHook would be fully expanded upon in ''ComicBook/DarthMaulSonOfDathomir'', which was initially intended to be a four-episode arc of ''The Clone Wars'' ("The Enemy of My Enemy", "A Tale of Two Apprentices", "Proxy War", "Showdown on Dathomir") before it was CutShort.

* PuppetKing: Sidious doesn't kill Maul. As demonstrated in ''Film/{{Solo}}'', he left him alive to rule the independent systems (through Almec, puppet to a puppet) and the crime syndicates (directly). This establishes another XanatosGambit similar to the one he has with Dooku. Either the Republic conquers Mandalore and Sidious controls the independent systems directly or they don't and he controls them through Maul.

* SquishyWizard: Sidious is a bizarre, [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example, effectively being, in RPG terms, a Mage that happens to have advanced skills a BlackKnight would have, as he beats both of the brothers primarily using his lightsabers, and shows he can flatten them with the force but requires some effort in a martial contest. Best shown at the end against Maul. While Maul does ultimately lose, he gets several hits in and Sidious is visibly far more serious than he was through most of the engagement, but after disarming him and "winning the game" so to speak, he decided to wrap it up with the force, at which point Maul went from "losing" to "being swatted like a mosquito".

** Sidious ultimately defeats Maul the same way Maul defeated Pre Viszla. Not by using his immense force powers (which he does only ''after'' Maul has been disarmed and floored), but solely through superior swordsmanship.

* MythologyGag: Obi-Wan attempts to sympathize with Maul, saying that the Nightsisters forced him into becoming evil and Sidious' apprentice. While this isn't strictly true as later works tend to (due to UnreliableNarrator being in effect in all tellings of the tale) feature Maul as being stolen unwillingly from Mother Talzin by Sidious when he's a young boy, Obi-Wan's assumption is ''exactly'' what happened to Maul in the Legends canon. His mother (there a different Nightsister than Mother Talzin) gives Maul away as a baby to Sidious to prevent him from being raised in the harsh life of the Nightbrothers where they are little more than slaves to the Nightsisters. She has no idea when she does this that she's subjecting Maul to a much worse life than he ever would have had on Dathomir.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Sidious plays this for this arc, the greater evil than the Nightbrothers. After their scheme has successfully played out, he steps in and destroys them in combat, scooping up their scheme and adding it to his own galactic efforts, using the Mandalorian Civil War to change their culture back to their martial history and gaining elite troops for his eventual empire.

* TheWorfEffect: The show has gone to a great deal of trouble establishing Maul and Savage as unstoppable badasses. None of the good guys can handle them one on two until Obi-Wan manages to incapacitate Savage, and even then Maul forces him away and escapes. So when Sidious shows up and toys with them for a few minutes before utterly defeating them... As happens later in ''Rebels'' and ''Jedi: Fallen Order'', a Sith Lord at the height of their power is virtually unstoppable.
