Maul manipulated Bridger into coming to Tatooine, subtley directing Ezra into the path of Tusken Raiders and the furthest reaches of Tatooine desert. Then the answer came to him: he would use Bridger to draw Kenobi out. He went to Tatooine in search of Kenobi, but wandered the sands hopelessly. The Sith Master killed Savage Opress and took Maul captive - but not before joyfully torturing his old apprentice with Force lightning.įinally, Maul was close to his revenge. Sidious came to Mandalore where he declared the Zabrak brothers to be his rivals. His revenge would prove double-edged, however, as the act created a dark side ripple sensed by his former Master, Darth Sidious. Throughout this time, Maul dueled Obi-Wan Kenobi on numerous occasions, and in an act of pure hatred, killed Obi-Wan’s former love, Duchess Satine Kryze. This led to Maul’s battle with Death Watch leader Pre Vizsla, who he dispatched violently and without mercy to assume total control of the planet. He and his brother began terrorizing worlds and allied with Death Watch, Black Sun, and the Pyke syndicate to form the Shadow Collective, a group which took over Mandalore. Maul reemerged, took Opress as his apprentice, and became obsessed with Kenobi.
Opress brought Maul back to his homeworld of Dathomir, where the Nightsister Mother Talzin used dark magicks to restore the fallen Sith’s mind and body. When found by his brother Savage Opress, Maul had no memory of who he was, rambled nonsensically, and had built hideous spider-like legs in place of his severed ones. His shattered body was dumped amid the refuse of the junk planet Lotho Minor, where the once deadly warrior fell into madness, staying alive on a diet of vermin. Not bad!

With this new art, we gain a greater insight into the rich world Red Fly were weaving, pictured below are various pieces, most notably a character called 'Nexus-Wan' (We like that one particularly) and a pumped up version of the Emperor. In his return to form in the Clone Wars he became a far more colourful character and the game was sure to set in motion a fascinating tale.
He had a brief moment in the sunshine when he whipped out his double bladed lightsaber and took on both Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi in a spectacular duel on Naboo. Prior to his return in Clone Wars, the heavily tattooed Zabrak Sith Lord was a rather dull character with limited dialogue in the Phantom Menace. Its a crying shame, this one looked truly promising. The Darth Maul game was well on its way to release before it was canned, much like the other titles mentioned earlier. So I thought I would share in my misery and let you in on something that popped up on GameInformer.Ī slew of concept art published by artist Thomas Szakolczay on Artstation reveals more of an insight into the world that Red Fly Studio were building. The tragic tale of LucasArts is one I would love to forget, but in my daily bumblings around the net I frequently see mention of cancelled projects like Star Wars 1313 or Battlefront 3, or, in this case Star Wars: Maul.
