But in Son of Dathomir, he and his combined forces of Mandalorians and criminals capture both Count Dooku and General Grievous without lengthy battles. Sure, Darth Maul was a bit of a pushover for getting cut in half by a teenage Padawan. He sought his master’s approval even while trying to destroy him. By the time Maul appeared in Rebels, he had acquired more refined parts. The Clone Wars featured an entirely new design for Maul: an eight-legged body made out of scrap metal. It’s still possible that Talzin is lying, but The Clone Wars gave Maul an entire family.Ī similar design for Darth Maul appeared many years earlier in Old Wounds, a non-canon comic (even in the Legends timeline) that told the story of Maul’s rematch with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine. Maul’s original mother, from the young adult novel, The Wrath of Darth Maul, was a human Nightsister named Kycina, from a region called Blue Desert City. This is different from his history in Legends, but only slightly. In Son of Dathomir, Talzin says that she’s Maul’s blood mother. Ray Park also had a hand in developing Maul’s fighting style, and asked that the hilt of Maul’s double lightsaber be lengthened so that he could use it more efficiently. ![]() ![]() Park has said that he sees the earring as an aspect of himself, not of the character – and in an Expanded Universe where every doodad and costume piece usually has a story, there has never been a canon explanation to give this particular detail a role in Maul’s history. But George Lucas said he liked it, so the earring stayed. Darth Maul wears an earring in the film – but this wasn’t planned.Īctor Ray Park put on a small, silver earring before sitting down to do the Darth Maul makeup, and only noticed it later. Iain McCaig also designed many of Padme’s outfits in Episode I. The tattoos on his face follow the muscle structure beneath.Ī canonical connection between the Dathomiri witches and the Sith would only be established later on in The Clone Wars, and now continues into the new canon, but the connection was always there in the art. McCaig experimented with ink-blot “Rorschach” designs as well as flayed-looking faces before finding the right look for Darth Maul. Ian McCaig is the same designer whose art would eventually inspire the witches of Dathomir in The Clone Wars. Early concept art for the character showed a villainous-looking woman with hair falling in strands across her face.
