Darth Maul is one of the most recognisable characters of all time, which is especially surprising considering his “death” duringStar Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.
However, after 25 years, fans have uncovered a secret from that legendary fight between Darth Maul and Qui-Gon Jinn.

The Sith Lord first appeared inStar Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menacebefore dying at the hand of Qui-Gon.
However, he returned inStar Wars: The Clone Warsas well as starring inSolo: A Star Wars StoryandRebels.
It is in the latter that Darth Maul actually died but an uncovered secret adds a lot more meaning to his true death.
His true death was at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi - which is ironic considering Obi-Wan was Qui-Gon’s Padawan - and took place during season three ofStar Wars Rebels.

“The move that Maul tries after the initial exchange, he actually attempts the move that killed Qui-Gon Jinn,” the blog postreads.
“He tries to bash [Obi-Wan] with the hilt,” revealed producer Henry Gilroy. “But Kenobi had learned a lot since that fateful day, and it became the last move Maul would make.”
It is not something that a casual viewer would notice but it is so interesting to see a full-circle moment between Darth Maul and a master and their Padawan.
