The exact year Maul became Palpatine’s apprentice is revealed by Star Wars: Timelines, and it proves Maul was quite young when he joined the Sith.
Despite being thrown into a Naboo melting pit in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Darth Maul ended up returning due to popular demand. But his time spent as Palpatine’s apprentice was crucial to his character arc in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and beyond. Unlike many of the other characters in the prequels, Maul wasn’t oblivious to Palpatine’s overarching plan for the galaxy.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Maul was born on Dathomir in 54 BBY to one of the most powerful Nightsister magic users: Mother Talzin. From the beginning, Maul struggled with anger issues, and this caught the interest of Palpatine. Sidious singled Maul out among the Nightbrothers for his uniquely powerful connection to the Force, and—using his partnership with Mother Talzin—coerced Maul into joining him.
Darth Maul Became Palpatine's Apprentice In 40 BBY According to the Star Wars: Timelines book by Kristin Baver, Jason Fry, Cole Horton, Amy Richau, and Clayton Sandell, Darth Maul officially became Palpatine’s apprentice in 40 BBY. This means Darth Maul was only 14 years old when he was given to the Sith. For the next 8 years until he Phantom Menace, Maul endured Palpatine’s cruel training to become the perfect Sith assassin.
Palpatine Moved On To Dooku As Soon As Maul Died Despite Palpatine’s interest in Maul, he only ever viewed Maul as a stepping stone to a more powerful apprentice. It’s unlikely that Maul met Count Dooku, but Dooku likely suspected Palpatine had more agents than himself. Palpatine loved to play favorites among his apprentices. While he promised an important role to Maul, he was already lining up his next apprentice by converting Dooku to the dark side.
