==What Makes Him an Ensemble Dark Horse?==
*Although he started off as a character with mixed-reactions in The Phantom Menace, The Clone Wars breathed much more life into him and made him a well developed beloved character to the very end.
*Despite his status as a secondary character with lack of screentime compared to other characters like Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and Luke, Maul stands out for having several very memorable scenes and not being as controversial as them.
*Everybody sympathizes with his tragic backstory, since he was taken away, abused, abandoned, and traumatized through all of the horrible things that had happened in his life. In fact, many more people sympathize with Maul's tragic backstory than Anakin and Dooku's because unlike them, Maul didn't have a choice in joining the Dark Side and was manipulated into it from the very start. Also his death at the hands of Obi-Wan in Rebels is massively played for sympathy, as he begs his archenemy to make sure that the chosen one will stop the Empire.
*His final scenes at the end of the Clone Wars were the most badass of them all since he has a magnificent fight with Ahsoka and he tore her ship down with no resources.
*To call his double lightsaber iconic would be an understatement.
*His relationship with Savage Opress is among some of the most praised elements of the series The Clone Wars.
