Darth Maul: Upgraded? "Clone Wars/Rebels spoiler alert"

As anyone who has seen the Clone Wars knows, Darth Maul returns. But he goes through several versions of himself that are each unique & different. As we all know from playing this game, Darth Maul is the weakest of all the Sith characters.

But what about his other incarnations? Since we already have a good idea that multiple versions of already released characters are inevitable in this game, let's go over what to expect from him next based on what we saw.

1) Spider Maul: Savage & insane, Maul survived years like this after defeat by Obi Wan.
2) Claw Legs Maul: By Mother Talzin, sane but more viscious & seems force weaker.
3) Restored Maul: Normal mechanized legs & force stronger. His greatest version?

    They were catering to massive fan appeal of the character. They did it as tastefully as possible. Considering all the other totally unrealistic stuff that goes on in the Star Wars universe, we can't say it wouldn't be possible.

    That being said, watch the show. I was fairly hardcore against it. It looked like a cartoon designed for pre-teens. In some aspects, especially near the beginning it is. But the show is actually pretty brilliant. It fills in so many unexplained gaps between 2 and 3 such as depicting how Palpatine is able to eventually usurp the republic by subtly manipulating the people and government, the slow fall of Anakin into darkness, the creation of the clone army, the order 66 conspiracy with the clones, and so much more.

    Skipping the show because of its outward appearance is a mistake lol.


    Also the cartoon roleplay Anakin better than the movies :)


    What!? But Hayden Christianson is one of the best actors of our time!

    Agreed! Hayden brought out the best of Ian Mcdiarmid!!
  • I like Anakin Skywalker. I thought it was cool of Hayden to really to wear the armor for Episode III. For Vader, I mean.
  • He was on Star Wars rebels last night. Called himself Maul, not Darth Maul, tried to convert Esra. I really want to watch the clone wars!!
  • Yeah, Maul dropped his "Darth" title during the Clone Wars. I figured he had to be pretty old, he was around when Anakin was a child. Glad to hear he still is as rotten as ever. A renegade Sith is a rare thing in regular Star Wars. I hope we get to find out the rest of his story too. Past & present.
  • Thanks for sharing the new info, BTW! Even though I own all 6 seasons of the Clone Wars I have not seen any episodes of Rebels(yet). I'm hoping we get a final version of Maul(maybe Old Maul) out of the new show eventually. Plus more Ahsoka, Rex, etc... It just gives us more characters for this game to want to own later.
