Darth Maul is the horned Sith apprentice who debuted in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999), played by Ray Park, and later returned in animated Star Wars series. His few lines and striking look made him an enduring fan favourite, and short clips of his voice have circulated for years as reaction sounds on meme pages and soundboards. Fans often pair it with other Star Wars sounds such as the Imperial March and the Utini meme, and the menace of the delivery keeps it in rotation whenever creators need a villainous wink before something goes wrong.
