A stunning new Darth Maul wristwatch by Citizen celebrates the dark side like never before. 25 years ago, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace kicked the prequel trilogy off in style. The iconic Sith Apprentice Darth Maul made his debut, and by the end of The Phantom Menace he appeared to have been killed off. But even George Lucas realized killing Darth Maul was a mistake, and Maul would return in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, Citizen has announced the release of a new “Darth Maul Mastermiind” wristwatch. This timepiece features the Sith Lord engraved on the backside of the case and on the seconds sub-dial. His signature double-bladed red Lightsabers are represented in the hands, and an illustration on the dial and two gold-tone pushers replicate his horns. It’s a stunning representation of Darth Maul.

Darth Maul Is Truly A Sith Mastermind
It’s easy to underestimate Darth Maul. Although he has a fearsome visage, he was defeated by a Jedi Padawan, after all. But even George Lucas realized Maul’s story should continue, and his resurrection in Star Wars: The Clone Wars saw him demonstrate the full power of the dark side. Citizen’s wristwatch bears the title “Darth Maul Mastermind,” and that is just what he became – a true mastermind. By the end of the Clone Wars, Darth Sidious actually considered his former apprentice to be a rival, and took him out personally.
It’s fitting, then, that Citizen is celebrating Darth Maul not just as he began – the ruthless Sith assassin, trained to slaughter Jedi but ultimately too reckless – but as he was destined to become. This is the Darth Maul seen at the end of Solo: A Star Wars Story, a ruthless Machiavellian figure who successfully took command of criminal empires during the Dark Times. Darth Maul somehow flourished even at a time when his enemies ruled the galaxy – although he would not live to see Palpatine overthrown.
In the end, Darth Maul was the only one cunning and resourceful enough to discover Obi-Wan Kenobi’s hiding place on Tatooine. His quest for revenge against Obi-Wan took him to Tatooine, and his story finally ended when he was cut down by Obi-Wan with a skillful strike. Darth Maul may have been a mastermind, but his quest for revenge ultimately led to his downfall. Now, fans can celebrate the Sith assassin in style.
