| ~ Morley to Savage Opress. |
Morley is the main antagonist of the Season 4 episode "Brothers" of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
He is a male Anacondan native to Lotho Minor who lived during the Clone Wars. Morley helped provide the former Sith Lord Darth Maul with food in his exile in return for the "leftovers".
He was voiced by Benjamin Diskin, who also voiced Stuart Zurgo in Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando and Venom in Marvel's Spider-Man (2017).
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He found Darth Maul in a broken state after his defeat in The Phantom Menace and made an arrangement with him that he would send organic beings to Maul as an offering while he waits until he eats them so he can eat the “leftovers”.
- A tie-in comic The Wrath of Darth Maul states that this deal lasted at least over a decade.
- It is heavily indicated that he lured many victims that came from offworld to his master’s cavern under the guise of guiding them out of the harsh terrain and junkers of the planet, then betrayed them by sending them down a trap door so that Maul would kill and eat them. This would make him responsible for Maul, and by extension, himself, using sentient beings as food to survive.
- He does the same to Savage Opress when he lands on Lothor Minor to find Maul, while sadistically mocking him of him being eaten as he falls down the trap door, showing both his most heinous act to be true and how loathsome he is. Beforehand, he says he would help him for the right amount of money, only changing it to free when Savage strangles him.
- He enters Maul’s den happily, saying he’s prepared for his leftovers, only to try and flee when he sees Savage is still alive.
- When Savage catches and strangles him, he tries to save his own skin by saying he found him this way, but to no avail since Savage kills him by strangling him and then throwing his corpse into a fire pit out of rage.
- While he has some comedic moments, this was only part of his act, and he drops it all after betraying Savage.
- Despite calling Darth Maul his master, he’s not truly loyal to him and did nothing to help with his broken insanity, which Savage calls him out on. Instead, he took advantage of it to benefit his own gluttony.
- Despite the high Heinous Standards of the galaxy far, far away (and the fact that he only has Maul and his lair as resources outside of himself and not being Force-sensitive), Morley is able to stand out in his own right despite only appearing in one episode since eating sentient beings and manipulating someone’s insanity for one's own benefit (even if he is a Sith Lord) are not common crimes in the franchise.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He relies on some Fridge Horror since we only see Savage lured into his trap and the number of previous victims has not been specified and even if it doesn't hold up much since Morley gleefully talks about getting the leftovers and we see the insanity that Maul has gone through and how he says he went through many depths to stay alive, it's just enough to keep him from being Pure Evil.
Trivia[]
- Morley is, alongside Admiral Trench and Osi Sobeck, one of the three Star Wars Near Pure Evils to exclusively come from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
- Unlike Trench and Sobeck, Morley is not affiliated at all with the Seperatist Alliance, however.
- Ironically, his voice actor, Benjamin Diskin, voiced both Nigel Uno and Hoagie Gilligan in the 2002 - 2008 Cartoon Network series, Codename: Kids Next Door, with both characters being Near Pure Good, the moral opposite to Morley's status as Near Pure Evil.
