The Sith Lord in Solo

Maul gives Ezra the truth about the Jedi, the Sith, and Quizitors that they're all his enemies. It was the most genuine moment I think I've ever seen Maul in. He kind of goes on a tangent about how he was used as a weapon and a cast aside. And it's like, you really start to feel bad for this guy. This guy used to have his own criminal organization,. Now what happened? That still seems so strange to me.
