We might wish that Opress would find the strength to break away, to use his new powers and stand up for himself like he once did for his brother Feral, but it seems his part in this play is pre-ordained. So Savage follows his master, his brother, Darth Maul, as they gather resources and try to recruit soldiers. They need greater strength of numbers, and the Dark Side provides. Adrift in space, Maul and Opress are found by members of Death Watch, a terrorist group seeking to liberate Mandalore.
Maul convinces the leader of Death Watch, Pre Vizsla, to join him and through a combination of strength and persuasion Maul brings together most of the criminal community in the sector. Maul sets up a puppet ruler and bides his time, waiting for Obi Wan Kenobi to attempt a rescue of his beloved Duchess Satine. While he waits for his Jedi nemesis, he challenges Pre Vizsla to single combat in order to eliminate a rival and get his hands on the dark saber, a unique, Mandalorian lightsaber.
By the warrior code, when Maul defeats Vizsla he becomes the ruler of the planet. Kenobi is imprisoned, but is rescued by breakaway members of Death Watch and members of the wider community. The image of three Sith warriors battling to the death is thrilling to watch, but of course we know how it has to end. Savage Opress is slain by Darth Sidious, his body fading as all the dark magic from Mother Talzin flows out of him. Used by every person who was supposed to protect him, Savage was a good man destroyed by power, revenge and the Dark Side.

When Clone Wars goes dark Star Wars: The Clone Wars was good at building depth out of paperweight elements from the movies, but every now and then the show created something completely original.
Why was Savage Opress so powerful? Over season 5 of the clone wars Maul and Savage Opress grow very close. Continuing the theme of feeling empathy for the villains, Savage Opress is actually quite sympathetic before the witches work their magic on him.
They fought briefly in the Clone Wars show. Maul is clearly superior. Maul was taught by Sidious, while Savage was trained by Maul, Ventress, and Dooku, all very briefly and known of whom could rival the true Master of the Dark Side. Skip Navigation Disney. Log In. Asajj Ventress An assassin trained in the ways of the dark side by Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress yearned to be considered a true Sith, but such status wasn't allowed under the Sith's Rule of Two.

Asajj's Past Revealed. Asajj Duels Anakin and Obi-Wan. Asajj Battles Dooku. A fight broke out as the three escaped. They were surround once outside but quickly reinforced by Death Watch soldiers who battered the Hutt's men. Savage led the way as he, Maul and Vizsla reentered the palace. They were ambushed by Sugi and Embo. Embo fought with Savage and proved an agile and strong fighter, and tougher than most as he used his large hat as both a weapon and shield against Savage's ferocious attacks.
Eventually, Savage brutally broke through the Kyuzo's defenses and beat him down. The bounty hunters were saved by their comrades, where Maul let them go. The Death Watch only managed to capture one elderly Hutt, Oruba , who told them to go to Jabba's Palace after being threatened. Maul had Savage kill him for such basic information. The growing underworld army then attacked Jabba's Palace in a ferocious show of force and quickly got to Jabba with few lives taken.
The Hutts submitted when it was clear that they had lost. When the Shadow Collective was complete, they began planning the Takeover of Mandalore.
Pre Vizsla and Death Watch then arrived as heroes and staged the capture and imprisonment the criminals, deposing and imprisoning Kryze at the same time. Savage played a part in the hoax as the leader of a team who robbed the vaults of the Mandalore Banking Center. He set off explosives to kill any remaining police he hadn't already cut down before.
As he and his pawns fled they were stopped by Pre Vizsla, and the two made a show of dueling with their lightsabers and Pre besting Savage, who smirked at the success of the ruse. Savage, along with other leaders of the gangsters, were brought before the people of Sundari as prisoners. Unfortunately, once his grip on Mandalore was secure, Vizsla betrayed the Nightbrothers, imprisoning them in the Sundari prison. However, Savage and Maul easily escaped from their cell and bested the prison guards unharmed.
They then walked through the prison looking for political outcasts to use as a puppet ruler. They found Satine Kryze and Almec, and Almec informed Maul that if he challenged Vizsla in single combat, Vizsla would not refuse out of honor, and the victor would rule the Death Watch. Savage's brother challenged the Death Watch leader to a fierce duel that ended when Maul beheaded Vizsla.
Maul continued to seek revenge on Obi-Wan Kenobi, by baiting him to come to Mandalore. Kenobi was captured by Maul, Savage and the Mandalorian super commandos , Duchess Kryze was executed in front of him, and Kenobi was sent to be imprisoned, though he was rescued by Bo-Katan. Maul's scheming was soon interrupted, however, by the arrival of Maul's former master, Darth Sidious.
Initially Maul tried to gain the favor with his former master, but Sidious proved less receptive and, in a mighty display of power, Force pushed the two brothers against the throne room wall. The brothers quickly recovered and attacked Sidious in unison, instigating a fierce duel. Altough the combined efforts of Maul and Savage proved to pose a challenge for the elder Sith Lord, Sidious ultimately proved to be the stronger of the three.
He stunned Maul with a Force Push, forcing Savage to fight him alone. Savage fought valiantly, but was ultimately no match for the Dark Lord of the Sith. Sidious stunned him with a swift blow to the face and then and proceeded to fatally impale Savage through his chest with both of his lightsabers in a ferocious reverse lunge.
Ironically the way Savage died was very similar to the way his brother had killed Qui-Gon Jinn in front of Obi-Wan Kenobi over a decade earlier. The Dark Lord shoved the towering Zabrak onto the lower pavement below with the Force. Momentarily forgetting Sidious, Maul ran to his brother's side and held Savage's metal hand, mourning him as he passed away.
As he died the Nightsister magic started to leave Savage's body and with his dying breath, he expressed his regret that he could never be Maul's equal. The enraged and devastated Maul did his best to kill Sidious to avenge his fallen brother, but was eventually defeated. During his time living with the Nightbrothers, Savage Opress was a reserved but brave warrior who protected his brother, Feral, at all costs.
However, after being transformed, he became an aggressive, ferocious, dispassionate, brutal, destructive, and cruel practitioner of the dark side of the Force, who did not hesitate to kill his own brother and other innocents for the cause. Nonetheless, he still showed great loyalty to those whom he felt deserved it, such as his brothers and Mother Talzin.
While his brother, Maul, was a deliberate and planning person, who always considered the possible consequences of his actions, Savage was hot-headed and only sought to carry out the orders of Dooku, and later Maul.
He would destroy everyone and everything in his path, not considering the consequences, like he did with King Katuunko. However, after uniting with Maul, he became more level-headed but was still not able to control his passion, which caused him strife with his brother. Although Savage did not always agree with Maul, and once challenged him to a duel, the two brothers genuinely cared about each other, as seen by Maul's remorse upon Savage's death and when Savage believed that he had let his brother and master down and been an unworthy apprentice.
Even before his transformation, Savage Opress was a formidable opponent, being familiar and proficient with the use of the weapons in the Nightbrother village. He was also a gifted hand-to-hand combatant, being able to fight nearly on par with Asajj Ventress. He was strong enough to smash stone with his bare hands. After his transformation, Savage became even more lethal.
He used his pike in combination with hand to hand combat knowledge to become a dangerous opponent, and even more, due to the transformation of Mother Talzin, which gave him inhuman strength, agility, and endurance. Opress proved to be a powerful, albeit slightly clumsy, lightsaber duelist. His combat style had little to none technique, only using extreme raw power to hammer away at the enemy. After further training, Savage proved adept enough to take on two lightsaber duelists at once, as seen when Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi confronted him down on Toydaria and Darth Tyranus' ship.
He was also able to effectively fight side-by-side with Ventress, a highly accomplished dual-blade duelist. Due to his juggernaut-like strength, he managed to disarm Tyranus, the most renowned Form II practitioner of his time.
Over time, Savage's skill would grow, though still based on brute strength and physical force. It was, nonetheless, an improvement. This would suggest some form of creativity on his part. However, Savage was still not nearly as skilled as his far more disciplined and experienced brother, as Maul was able to swiftly take him down faster than Tyranus could in their spars.
But when separated from his brother, his immense strength and overwhelming brutality proved to be no match for Sidious's flawlessly cunning swordsmanship. Sidious toyed with Savage for less than a minute before killing him. Savage was powerful in the Force, thanks to his transformation by the Nightsisters. He displayed deadly proficiency with Force Choke, which he used to kill King Katuunko; he could even use Force Grip on two targets at once. While surrounded by battle droids, he was able to use the Force Shockwave power instinctively.
Not only was he unable to resist or counter Tyranus' Force lightning, [13] but his defenses were useless against Sidious' telekinetic power. Thus he never lived long enough to reach his full potential. Savage wielded a specially created pike , with which he could defeat opponents like clone troopers easily. He used it in many battles, like at Cybloc Station, on Florrum, [14] and while dueling Sidious, in which fight he lost his life. He also wore a specially designed combat armor , which gave him protection against blasters , [13] acid rain on Lotho Minor, Junkers, [43] and other threats.
It was created by Mother Talzin, just like his pike. Savage Opress is voiced by voice actor Clancy Brown , who has also portrayed Mr. In Restraint , the Nightsister Kycina was revealed to be the mother of Savage, Maul, and Feral, all three of whom had been established as being brothers. However, the brothers' order in terms of age has yet to be confirmed.
