Darth maul is a good example of making an interesting menacing villain with a sad backstory without redeeming them

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree Further, I think Maul is great at being incredibly sympathetic and tragic without redeeming him (in the sense of making up for his actions or in saving his soul from the dark), that we can genuinely love him and ache for him, we can hurt for the abuse he was dealt pretty much his entire life, we can understand why he couldn’t climb out of the dark, without making him narratively right. Maul had a great character design, he has some absolutely iconic fights, he has an incredible story and he is genuinely menacing and legitimately awesome in a fight, he’s cool in a very legitimate way! But he is also someone who has been shown even by the Force itself (in Age of the Republic: Darth Maul) that he could choose another path, he could have been a Jedi, he could still make better choices, and who rejected that, because he’s too afraid to admit to that possibility, because he doesn’t have the tools to do it, no one ever gave those to him. Maul is amazing because there’s so much there to examine that has so much sympathy, like I really think underneath it all he’s incredibly lonely--he latches on to Savage, to Ezra, to Eldra Kaitis, even to Ahsoka to a degree, because he wants companionship and the only thing he knows what to do with that feeling is to try to force those people into his worldview, to beat them down because he thinks that’s the only way he can have any kind of real connection. It also helps that Maul can be genuinely funny a character, like some of the fandom silliness around the character is hilarious, so you know when a character can make you laugh, can make you cry, and can make you frustrated, all at the same time, you know they’re a great character.

“The only thing [the clones] all had in common was their appearance—although they were starting to age differently, she could see that now—and what the Republic had done to them. Apart from that, they were individuals with the full range of virtues and habits of random humankind, and she now felt completely at home with them. If she had a side in this war, this was the one she chose: the disenfranchised, unreasonably loyal, heartbreakingly stoic ranks of manufactured men who deserved better.”  Star Wars - Republic Commando: True Colors by Karen Traviss
