When Obi-Wan Kenobi Cut Darth Maul in Half over 25 years agoMost of us thought that was it. Maul was cleaned one of the coolest and most interesting Star wars Characters ever, but george lucas chose to kill him. However, as fate would have it it Lucas’s protégé dave filoniAnd Soon, We’re Gonna Get Way More of Him Than We Ever Thought Possible.
Maul: Shadow Lord, A new animated series, was announced at Star wars Celebration japan Last month and it’ll brings the former Sith Lord back to the forefront in a big, big way. Speaking with Fellow Star wars Star Katee Sankhoff, Voice of Maul Sam Witwer Reveled a Few Broad Clues about what we can expect from the show, Including how Maul Perceives The Plan formulated by Histor Master, Darth Siddiest.
“This is a guy who knew that the empire was coming, and he was part of that,” witwar said on The sockhoff show“He was supposed to be part of the clone wars. Hate them. Didn Bollywood
“Now the empire’s here, which maul would have known that that was his master’s intent,” He Continues. “But now that he’s seeing it, he’s like, ‘is this what he had in mind? Color is being successful out of the universe by this mechanized empire. And maul’s like, ‘is this right?
That’s fascinating, is it not? Seeing the Grand Plans of Emperor Palpatine Through the Eyes of Someone who worked with Him Before Darth Vader. Before Count Dooku. Before Grand Moff Tarkin or Grand Admiral Thrawn. Someone who was there at the beginning and is now confused about what he thought the plan was, and what it ended up
But, as witwer explains, that’s kind of the aim of Maul: Shadow Lord,
“It truly is a show about bad guys Versus WorsE Guys,” He Said. “And our bad guys are still bad guys. This isn’t going to be a show where you go, oh, you find out maul is just a real teddy bear, man He’s a bad guy, bad as sidius or vader? And the answer no. Some of this is humanity he did not have maybe early in clone wars.
Retinking things is part of what is making Maul: Shadow Lord Work too. Witwer explained that, as he was working with filoni on Clone wars and RebelsThey’d come up with ideas for maul that they loved, butldn’t fit in the show. Now, all the Ideas are coming back.
“There was ideas that i had back in Clone wars That i would present to dave, or even in Rebels,“Witwer said.” And i also know things that dave wanted to do. And dave would go, ‘We’re going to cut this part out of the script that i have that i like so much so much if this is this isn Bollywood’s show.’ Or i’d say, ‘Dave, what if this happens?’ And he goes, ‘it’s not maul’s show. You can’t go into that little level of detail. We’re seeing this from ezra’s percective or ahasoka’s personal. ‘ And every time he said, ‘this isn’t maul’s show,’ it Never Occurred to Me That Maul Could have a show. So I just Tooks Ideas and I’M LIKE, Well, I Guess We’ll Never see that. And now he’s like, well, it’s maul’s show. ”
