Darth Plagueis was probably the wisest and most experimental Sith of the Rule of Two era. If his life hadn’t been cut short, what would he have ultimately been capable of accomplishing? You have to wonder if he eventually would’ve achieved true immortality, or reached a level of mastery over the Force where he could fully manipulate life and the Force itself entirely to his will.
Maul’s mind was completely shattered when Savage Opress found him in The Clone Wars, and it took Mother Talzin using Nightsister magic to piece him back together.
What I’ve always wondered is, what kind of long-term effect did that actually have on him?
By the time of Rebels, Maul still shows signs of instability, obsession, and fractured thinking. Do you think Talzin’s magic was more of a temporary fix rather than a true healing? Like maybe it stabilized him for a time, but over the years it started to fade, and his mind began slipping again; similar to how he was right after The Phantom Menace?
Curious what others think… was Maul ever truly “whole” again, or just held together?
