Please Explain the Force Powers More Clearly

Please remember Wikipedia is an encyclopedia access world wide by millions of people, as is such many people will not understand what the article is describing when it makes phrases such as "force guides" or "force leaps." Remember to always state the obvious as not everyone is a die-hard Star Wars fan. 68.219.26.177 (talk) 01:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree. Why don't you go through the article and tell us what you do not understand. That will help me to fix what you think needs fxin'. :) - Arcayne (cast a spell) 01:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Old Wounds-Non-Canon?

I thought that "Old Wounds" was non-canon. Should it be marked as such? --Patar knight - chat/contributions 00:15, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We don't give any weight to canon or non-canon. All that matters here is what is cited and what is not cited. Non-cited info cannot be included. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 01:21, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The true name of Darth Maul

The true name of Darth Maul is Khameir Sarin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.86.199.99 (talk) 20:54, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cite that, pls - Arcayne (cast a spell) 22:00, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, the citation(1) provided me at my UserTalk page doesn't meet our reliability criteria for inclusion. If you take a look at that provided link, it can bring you up to speed on how to choose a source that the Project considers reliable. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 19:28, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Zabrak or Iridonian?

Should Darth Maul be described as "Iridonian" for his race? Right now it says Zabrack, but I think Iridonian is the proper term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randi Rosenberg (talk • contribs) 02:51, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Zabrak" is the canon term, yes. People from Iridonia are Zabrak. Iridonian is a weird, less-used name. Like we're humans, but we're also technically Homo Sapiens. It'd be weird to call us that. --82.40.171.48 (talk) 17:57, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Iridonian or Dathomiri?

The latest episode of the clone wars featured the selection of a male from 'Darth Maul's Lineage' on Dathomir. At first I was curious whether that made him a Dathomiri, but it looks like his originating planet is already part of cannon. So now I'm wondering, did the Night sisters go and kidnap some Iridonians, or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taosk8r (talk • contribs) 05:42, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Iridonian doesn't exist in canon, it's a term that's not really correct. The term "Zabrak" is preferred. As for Maul, I would state he's a Dathomirian Zabrak. --82.40.171.48 (talk) 17:58, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Biblical" to "popular Christian".

I changed the bit explaining his horns from his representing the Biblical Devil, to a popular Christian depiction of the Devil. Neither the Adversary of the Old Testament, nor the Tempter of the wilderness, or the Ancient Serpent of the New are ever described as having horns, or any of the other popular attributes of Satan (cloven hooves, wings, pitchfork, being the master of Hell, etc). Those are all mediaeval embellishments, largely based on his conflation with satyrs and the Greek god Pan, as well as Hades. 174.62.208.249 (talk) 13:28, 4 March 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Darth Maul as the main antagonist

I don't agree with the opinion that Darth Maul is the main antagonist of Star Wars episode I. Darth Sidious is the most prominent villian and has an immodest role in the film. Nute Gunray is the most prominent villian who controlled occupied Naboo and the main target in the climax is to arrest Nute Gunray. I should say that there is no antagonist that you can call "the main antagonist."--Gielles (talk) 20:33, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brothers

The article states that Maul is Savage's brother and Feral's brother. While Feral and Savage are blood-related, there is no evidence that Maul and Savage are. They just address each other as brothers, because to them they are all brothers as they come from a clan called the Nightbrothers. They all treat each other as brothers, and Savage calls Maul 'brother' because he became an outcast to his clan and he saw something he could relate to in Maul, being an outcast himself. 84.194.89.245 (talk) 15:09, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Darth Maul and Savage Opress are part of the same kin, they have the same parents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.107.45.106 (talk) 22:29, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maul's age?

Is Darth Maul given a specific age in Episode I? Just curious, because an earlier revision of the film's article called him 'young'. 24.4.166.127 (talk) 21:37, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Star Wars Kid

"The character's double-bladed lightsaber has influenced several homages and parodies ..."

I really expected to see a link to the Star_wars_kid in that section! 103.1.70.228 (talk) 16:31, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why is he red?

The article explains that he got a lot of Sith tattoos after Dath Sidious kidnaps him. I've never seen any other Sith with tattooos, but whatever. I've also never seen a red Sith. So why is he red? Is that the natural colour of his species? Or is he just really really angry? 103.1.70.228 (talk) 16:31, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why would that be a problem? Wookieepedia states that Zabraks' skin color range from pale to dark brown, red, orange and yellow. It's like asking a black person: "Why are you black?" It's not that Maul is angry, every Sith is fueled with anger. It's just red is a dark color in Star Wars, look at Sith lightsabers. It is stated that Maul was stripped of his black markings. Maul was originally black and red. Then he gained Sith tattoos from Sidious. --2.245.249.247 (talk) 11:27, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Literature

"Darth Maul claims that with Talzin's death and the destruction of his power base, Maul will no longer pose a problem to their plans."

Why would Maul admit his own defeat? I didn't read the story, but was it rather Sidious? Is it a mistake? --2.245.249.247 (talk) 11:20, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
