Sith Master Darth Maul Mod Turns Battlefront II’s Maul Into a Cloaked Dark Side Legend

January 22, 2026January 22, 2026 Novara Skuara

Darth Maul has always looked like someone who should be wearing a dramatic cloak. Now he finally does. A new mod for Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017) called “Sith Master Darth Maul” upgrades Maul’s entire look by replacing his outfit with Kylo Ren’s suit and cape — creating a version of Maul that looks less like “angry murder gymnast” and more like a proper Dark Side boss fight. It’s clean, lore-friendly enough (in a Rule-of-Cool way), and honestly fits Maul’s energy perfectly.

How Old Is Darth Maul? His Real Age Explained in Star Wars Canon

December 27, 2025December 27, 2025 gingetattoo

Few Star Wars characters feel as timeless—and as confusing—as Darth Maul.He first appeared as a near-silent Sith assassin in The Phantom Menace, seemingly died, returned years later driven by obsession, and eventually met his final end far from the galactic spotlight. That long, fractured journey raises a surprisingly common question: how old is Darth Maul, really? In Star Wars canon, Darth Maul is roughly 52 years old at the time of his final appearance. The answer isn’t complicated—but it does require looking at where Maul appears across the Star Wars timeline. Darth Maul’s Birth Year (Canon) In official Star Wars canon, Darth Maul was born around 54 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). That places him firmly in the final decades of the Republic, growing up in the shadows long before the rise of the Empire. As a child, he was taken by Darth Sidious and trained in secret, molded…

The Star Wars villain who refuses to die (and somehow keeps getting cooler) is officially making his return. Maul: Shadow Lord was already hotly anticipated after its reveal at Star Wars Celebration Japan earlier this year, but this weekend’s SDCC 2025 showcase just kicked the hype into hyperdrive. Between new concept art, behind-the-scenes animation previews, and that moody, high-contrast still of Maul looking like he’s about to destroy your soul, it’s safe to say Lucasfilm’s next animated venture is shaping up to be a dark horse in every sense. The SDCC Reveal: Shadow and Style At the Lucasfilm Animation 20th anniversary booth, attendees were treated to a deeper look at the world of Shadow Lord. A new promotional still featured Maul in full silhouette, double-bladed saber blazing, standing in a misty void of red and black. It wasn’t just art—it was a warning. Set roughly one year after the finale…

Darth Maul in Star Wars: A Case of Overuse Diminishing Impact

January 2, 2024January 2, 2024 Novara Skuara

In the expansive Star Wars universe, the character of Darth Maul has become a focal point for discussion regarding character utilization and narrative impact: Repeated Appearances: Darth Maul’s frequent reappearances in the franchise, despite his initial death, have led to a dilution of his character’s impact. Impact on Obi-Wan Kenobi: Maul’s survival and recurring role have muddled Obi-Wan Kenobi’s character arc, diminishing the significance of his initial victory. Franchise’s Recycling Trend: Star Wars has shown a pattern of reusing successful elements, including Maul, which can stifle originality and diminish storytelling quality. Need for Balance: The overuse of Maul underscores the need for a balance between honoring legacy characters and introducing fresh narratives in the Star Wars saga. The Overextension of Darth Maul’s Character “Star Wars” has long been celebrated for its rich storytelling and compelling characters, but the franchise’s handling of Darth Maul, one of its most iconic villains, has…

Concept Art Revealed from Cancelled Darth Maul Video Game

January 15, 2017January 7, 2024 Lisa Clark

Do you remember that Darth Maul video game that was being developed by Red Fly Studios a few years ago? Many fans were sad to see it put on ice after Lucas sold the Star Wars license over to Disney. Alas, it was yet another canned Star Wars games and since Darth Maul had a pretty big following among fans, the disappointment was definitely real. If you didn’t hear about this game back then, it really sounded cool. Since the game was cancelled, we have seen some concept art appear here and there, showing us what might have been. Now, conceptual artist Thomas A. Szakolczay has updated his website with even more concept art from the defunct game. “Back in 2011, I was fortunate enough to work with Lucas Arts and Red Fly Studios to help develop the look direction for a new Star Wars IP that centered around Darth…

Insider Look at the Cancelled Darth Maul Game

December 28, 2015June 9, 2021 Lisa Clark

A game starring Darth Maul, the popular Sith Lord who debuted in Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace… it sounded fantastic. So what happened? Many fans were left disappointed to hear that the Darth Maul Star Wars game would never be. Austin-based developer Red Fly Studio wanted to give a new experience and perspective to the Star Wars story. They wanted to show a dark coming-of-age tale, where players would witness and experience Maul as a young boy being forced into the Sith hierarchy. “We wanted people to see him as a kid kidnapped by emperor Palpatine and tortured – physically, mentally, and emotionally – becoming this powerful Sith Lord,” says a developer who worked on the project but wishes to remain anonymous. “You got angry, you got frustrated, and you made the same mistakes he did. No one has ever seen Sith training up close. No one has ever seen…

Satele Shan VS Darth Maul

April 22, 2015May 20, 2021 Lisa Clark

Satele Shan vs. Darth Maul – Here’s another versus matchup video we think you might enjoy. Who do you see the victor in this showdown? If you ask me, I say Satele has it by a long shot but it could be just because I am such a fan. This is not to known on Darth Maul. He was an amazing duelist. In fact, were it not for Satele’s ability with The Force, she could easily finish him off. Some will argue that since Shan is a grandmaster, this isn’t even a fight and she would take it by a landslide. However, Maul was very powerful and skilled with the sabers and I still believe would put up a good fight in a versus battle such as this. A lot of it also comes down to timing, and where in their story each is when they are pitted against one…

Footage from cancelled Star Wars game shows Darth Maul in action

Video game developer Red Fly Studios and publisher LucasArts were working on a new Star Wars based Darth Maul video game experience in 2010, which was supposed to expand the gameplay mechanics that were introduced in The Force Unleashed. Footage of the game has emerged online and sources are saying that the game was designed to initially be launched only on the Wii U by the same team that handled the port for Star Wars: The Force Unleashes II. LucasArts was impressed with the initial development work done by Red Fly Studios and decided to also greenlight the title for the PC, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. Prototypes were being created in late 2010 using Darth Maul and his unique double-sided lightsaber as the core feature, but it seems that George Lucas intervened in order to add a cooperative element to the title, with the inclusion of Darth…

Darth Maul featured in Maul – Shadow Lord as the Empire tightens its control across the galaxy.

Maul – Shadow Lord Shows a Galaxy Tightening Under Imperial Control

January 25, 2026January 25, 2026 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

As Maul – Shadow Lord takes shape, new comments from executive producer Matt Michnovetz offer a clearer picture of the political and psychological landscape the series will explore. According to Michnovetz, the galaxy at this point in the timeline is not yet fully crushed by the Empire — but it’s well on its way. The Empire is expanding, quietly and relentlessly Rather than depicting a galaxy already living in open rebellion, Maul – Shadow Lord is set during a period of consolidation. The Empire is spreading outward from the core worlds, tightening its grip system by system. Many in the galaxy don’t yet fully understand what the Empire represents. Some see it as stability. Others view it as distant authority. That uncertainty is part of the tension the series aims to explore. Power is growing — but not always visibly. The Inquisitorius operates in the shadows A major element of…

Sean Kiner and Deana Kiner Confirmed as Composers for Maul – Shadow Lord

January 25, 2026January 25, 2026 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

Lucasfilm has confirmed that Sean Kiner and Deana Kiner are composing the score for Maul – Shadow Lord, the upcoming animated Star Wars series centered on Darth Maul. The announcement immediately signals a familiar musical direction for longtime fans of Star Wars animation, as the Kiners have been responsible for much of the franchise’s modern animated soundscape. A familiar musical signature for Star Wars animation Sean and Deana Kiner’s previous work spans nearly every major animated Star Wars project of the past decade. Their credits include: Across those series, the Kiners developed a musical identity that blends orchestral Star Wars tradition with darker, more modern textures — an approach that feels particularly well-suited to a Maul-centered story. Why the score matters for a Maul series Darth Maul has always been a character defined as much by mood as by action. From his silent menace in The Phantom Menace to his…

How George Lucas’ Original Vision Influenced MAUL – SHADOW LORD

January 25, 2026January 25, 2026 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

When MAUL – SHADOW LORD was first announced, one of the most frequent questions from fans was: What kind of story will this animated Star Wars series be? Now we’re getting an answer — straight from executive producer Matt Michnovetz. In a recent interview, Michnovetz explained how George Lucas’ original inspirations — the thrill-heavy serials that guided the creation of Star Wars itself — helped shape the tone and pacing of MAUL – SHADOW LORD. “We wanted to create an action-packed thrill ride, something that had the rush of a roller coaster, so we do a lot of homages to the classic serials of the day, which gave George Lucas the inspiration for Star Wars. And we’ve got the perfect character to drive us through this in Maul.” This insight offers an important piece of context: MAUL – SHADOW LORD isn’t just another animated project. It’s intentionally channeling the same…

MAUL – SHADOW LORD has a writer with some serious Star Wars pedigree.

January 25, 2026January 25, 2026 Soeren Kamper

Matt Michnovetz, who is writing the upcoming animated series, has quietly been one of the franchise’s most influential storytellers for over a decade. If his résumé feels familiar, that’s because many of Star Wars’ darkest, most character-driven arcs trace back to his work. A Legacy Built on the Dark Side and Moral Gray Areas Long before Maul – Shadow Lord entered development, Michnovetz helped shape some of the most unsettling and memorable moments in Star Wars animation. One of his earliest and most talked-about contributions was the Pong Krell arc in Star Wars: The Clone Wars—a storyline still debated today for its brutal look at authority, loyalty, and betrayal inside the Republic’s army. It’s an arc that didn’t offer easy answers, and that tone has followed Michnovetz ever since. The Star Wars Game That Almost Was Michnovetz was also attached to Star Wars: 1313Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, a title…
