Darth Maul | Behind The Scenes History

This is the third of an ongoing video series about the various stages of production that your favorite Star Wars character, location, vehicle, creature, or scene underwent before hitting the big screen.

Next up? The monosyllabic menace himself: Darth Maul

[fimeeee]

I honestly feel like the reason Maul was SOOO larger than life WAS his lack of lines spoken, causing the mystery to feel captivating and intimidating

[serrocXIII]

Spends 3 years meticulously developing a perfect, iconic character

Gives him 10 minutes of screen time and kills him off

[awesomeguyxD]

He made the video while his parents were sleeping

[OneofInfinity.]

When getting to choose him in Battlefront II and the character theme starts, it feels so darn epic.

What I took away from this video:




*Darth Maul has an Earring*

[snipolet]

This guy sounds like ur friend when ur on a call with him at three AM and he dosnt want his parents to wake up

[cellophanezebra]

Didn't even see that earring until now

The secret of Darth Maul's success was Ray Park's obvious martial arts ability and his intensity whenever he was on screen. Ray Park seethed and paced. He embodied the Sith's reliance on strong emotions to power them. As menacing as Darth Vader was in his armor, Darth Maul's facial expressions and body language were the most intimidating things to me. Ray Park doesn't get enough credit for the acting he did as Darth Maul. There's a reason why his fighting scenes are considered legendary even over 20 years later.

I'd hate to hear this guy read his kid a bedtime story.

[brothermaleuspraetor]

To think Episode 1 is nearly 20 years old... My god..

[HorribleGamingFun]

Maul's final end is still one of the most beautiful conclusions to a character's story arc I've ever seen

[MScotty]

I love the "Lucas was intrigued" clip at 1:55 where he pops out of the chair

[Invdrz]

1:11 wait, is that Mother Talzin? Was her design originally an idea for Maul?

[stnaruto]

"Just make him evil. Just make him sound real evil." LOL

[imago_deon]

No one's gonna mention Mother Talzin as a prototype design for Maul?

[ebomb]

Maul's duel with sidious in the clone wars is probably one of my favorite moments of the clone wars tv show. Actually that entire arc of Maul building an army is one of my favorite story arcs in general.

[Ishmeetsinghis]

darth maul is such an iconic character.. my favourite sith in star wars..

[Fishplants]

I've never notice he is wearing an earring before 😬

[Movie_Games]

As much as I love Christopher Lee, Darth Maul should have taken his place and been a villain throughout the 3 films.

Never thought I would be listening to star wars ASMR
