Could Darth Maul return from the dead in Star Wars? We asked Lucasfilm

There are lots of common truths in Star Wars. Somebody’s all the time certain to have a nasty feeling a couple of scenario, the Drive will all the time be with you, and hey, if a personality is lifeless, don’t fear about it — there’s all the time an excellent probability they’ll be again in some form or type. It generally looks like the entire Mandalorian period of Star Wars solely exists to clarify why Emperor Palpatine exists within the sequels. And if not Palpatine, contemplate characters reminiscent of Asajj Ventress and Fennec Shand. Even Kylo Ren (aka Ben Solo) had a return deliberate earlier than Disney rejected it.

Nonetheless, the grasp of dishonest loss of life is none apart from Darth Maul himself. Regardless of being bisected and hurled down a reactor shaft after a duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Phantom Menace, Maul returned a decade later (with a brand-new set of spider legs as well). He survived by tapping into the power of the Dark Side, however as we prefer to sum it up: Maul was simply an excessive amount of of a hater to die.

Over time, Maul has confronted many shut calls, nevertheless it was within the Star Wars: Rebels episode ‘Twin Suns,’ Maul lastly met his finish by the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi — for actual this time. As a result of his closing loss of life is already established, we all know that the Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord collection, which is ready earlier in his timeline, will depart Maul (pretty) unscathed.

But, we additionally know that Maul is an extremely well-liked character. Maul: Shadow Lord already has a second season confirmed, and the character has had a number of spin-off comics through the years. Might we get a, “Somehow, Darth Maul returned” sooner or later?

“You by no means know,” Shadow Lord govt producer Brad Rau tells Polygon. “We’re simply specializing in this one time interval proper now.”

Maul’s voice actor, Sam Witwer, however, had his personal concepts about what a resurrection of the Sith lord would possibly appear like.

“Clone him. Make a military of him. Simply do it. Let’s get it over with,” Witwer jokes. “I could not think about. I didn’t foresee that Maul would have a present named after him. I by no means even thought of it. If there’s any chance, that is Dave Filoni’s purview.”

Something is feasible if you’re in a galaxy as bizarre as Star Wars. However for now, Lucasfilm’s focus is on Maul’s journey to rebuild his prison empire in Maul: Shadow Lord.

The primary two episodes of Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord can be found now on Disney Plus. New episodes will likely be launched weekly on Mondays by means of Could 4.
