*StrawNihilist: Played With. Maul doesn't explicitly express any nihilistic points of view, but after his duel with Ahsoka and she's using the Force to keep him from falling to his death, he all but begs her to let him die rather than [[FateWorseThanDeath be back at the non-existent mercy of Sidious]]. Once Obi-Wan slashes through Maul's chest during their last duel, if anything Maul seems relieved that he can finally rest. If it weren't for his pride and his utter hatred for Obi-Wan, Maul probably would have been thanking him for putting him out of his misery.

* {{Forgiveness}}: Implied [[spoiler: when Obi-Wan kills him. He doesn't show any hate or resentment towards Obi-Wan, the man who cut him in half, despite his previous outburst, and dies with some measure of contentment, while also possibly acknowledging that both he and Kenobi were victimized by the same man.]]

Added DiffLines:

* IncompletelyTrained: While he's still well-trained as stated by Palpatine, by the time he was cleaved in half by Obi-Wan he still hasn't reached his fullest potential yet and has not learned more complex Dark Side techniques like Force Lightning yet. His force potential is said to be greater than Palpatine's and is possibly second only to Anakin Skywalker's. As a result of his bisection and Palpatine subsequently replacing him with Dooku as a Sith Apprentice, he can never hope to reach his full power.

* MythologyGag: His first design in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' (elongated horns, shirtless, circlet around the neck, cybernetic lower body) seems to be a homage to [[https://twitter.com/philszostak/status/1211419368657043456 his appearance]] in the non-canon (even before Disney bought Lucasfilm) comic "Old Wounds". Once he switches to a pair of cybernetic legs, he actually becomes nearly ''identical'' to that design: only his horns were returned to their normal length. Obi-Wan also calls Maul and "old wound" in ''Rebels''.

** In ''Rebels,'' he bails a struggling Ezra out of a fight with the Seventh Sister by incapacitating her with the Force. He implores Ezra to finish her off, but the boy can't bring himself to do it. After Maul kills her for him, he warns Ezra such weakness could cost him dearly. Considering the Seventh Sister was visibly plotting to kill Ezra during his moment of mercy, he is absolutely right.

Ezra takes this moment to heart and [[GainingTheWillToKill becomes willing to kill his enemies]], now knowing the Imperials will truly not stop until either he is dead or ''they'' are.

* MachiavelliWasWrong: In ''The Clone Wars'', while he offered them money as well, Maul mainly used intimidation to get Hondo's men to join him. All it took for the pirates to turn against him was Hondo's forgiveness and Obi-Wan forcing Maul and Savage to retreat.
