~/star-wars/sith/darth-maul
The raw, walking wound of the dark side. Cast aside by his master once he is no longer the most useful weapon, his post-fall survival is fueled entirely by a primal, obsessive rage and a refusal to die. He exposes the absolute ruthlessness of the Rule of Two: once you are defeated or surpassed, you are garbage. Yet, his survival in the shadows shows that the passions the Sith claim as strength can indeed keep a broken body alive through sheer force of hatred.
vs
~/star-wars/sith/darth-plagueis
The scholar of the dark side. He seeks to conquer death through esotericism, science, and the manipulation of midi-chlorians, attempting to elevate the Sith from a political conspiracy to a metaphysical triumph. Yet his master-level science cannot cure the fatal structural flaw of the tradition: he is murdered in his sleep by his own apprentice. He represents the Sith attempt to transcend mortality through individual will, and the tragic irony that success in training an heir guarantees your own destruction.
