Legend

this huge Boltrunian was one of the Dark Jedi who worked with Jerec. A former Jedi Knight who refused to take a Padawan, Maw became one of the Jedi Shadows, where his innate tracking skills were perfectly suited for the role. Maw one of the few Jedi who survived the Clone Wars and the devastating Jedi Purge, but he was hunted down by Jerec and twisted to the Dark Side of the Force. Maw was incredibly massive, loyal to no one but himself, and he had a flagrant disregard for human life. Although large and muscular, Maw was also quite fast in battle. When Jerec interrogated Qu Rahn about the location of the Valley of the Jedi, Maw was injured during Rahn's brief defense. The injuries required that Maw's legs be amputated and replaced with a small repulsorchair. He quickly adjusted to life in the chair, and used it to his advantage when battling an enemy. However, Maw's strength with the Dark Side of the Force gave him the ability to use the Force as a propulsion mechanism, conquering the ability to "fly" freely for many minutes. When injured, Maw would go into a berserker rage, spinning wildly in his chair while swinging his lightsaber in the Trispzest form of combat. For all his power, though, Maw was defeated in combat by Kyle Katarn during the search for the Valley of the Jedi.
