Originally posted by SiniousNah he was much more the legitimate apprentice, and are even described as having a "familial bond", Maul was also taken from his mother and trained by Palpatine from a childhood. So he's the only father figure he ever had. 😍
I don't see how. I think Sidious always considered Maul as an animal, nevertheless a skilled one.
Um... um...
"Sidious had formed an almost filial bond with Maul. Attached to the present, he failed to grasp the truth: that this was the last time he and his apprentice might see each other in the flesh."

Suck it. 🤣
Also familial (though it actually reads filial, i.e. between child and parent) doesn't necessarily mean compassionate. 👆
