History VideoGame / Maul

* CloningBlues: To necessitate a storyline that could conceivably work within the franchise's canon, there were talks about making the Maul featured in the game a clone of the original who is convinced that he is the real deal after the decision was made to set the story in the ''Legacy'' era. As Red Fly helped to work on the Wii port of ''The Force Unleashed II'', this plot thread would likely have dealt with similar themes of identity and memory to their previous project.

* UpToEleven: Wan wields ''two'' double-bladed lightsabers, similar to Pong Krell in ''The Clone Wars''.

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Concept art for Maul's alternative outfits include going without a shirt.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Savage Oppress and Death Watch are seen on promotional art. Unlike Maul, their appearances are never explained.

* CallBack:
** Maul would've used a DRK-1 probe droid (or presumably a successor to the series), like in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. It would've provided the HUD for the player.
* ContinuitySnarl: It really didn't help that there was a lack of communication between Red Fly and George Lucas, so they basically threw in whatever they thought was good.

''Maul'' went through loads of DevelopmentHell. In 2010, [=LucasArts=] contacted Red Fly about making a Darth Maul game, but with the lack of details given, they thought about telling his origin story and ending it with his death at the end of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' until they were told that Maul had survived, though this was not explained until 2012, when ''WesternAnimation/TheCloneWars'' explored his return. By then, however, the game had just pulled a plot together but was cancelled in 2011 from both sudden lack of communication between the studio and [=LucasArts=], as well as [=LucasArts=]'s inaction [[ScrewedByTheLawyers to sign documents to allow major developments to truly go underway]], topped off by Creator/{{Disney}}'s acquisition of the franchise.

Taking place more than 170 years after [[Film/ThePhantomMenace the Invasion of Naboo]] and [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars the Clone Wars]], Darth Maul finds himself in the era of ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsLegacy Legacy]]''. After meeting Darth Talon, the duo teams up to fight against Darth Krayt and the One Sith.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: [[https://www.artstation.com/artwork/KzzQx There is concept art of a realistic Bo-Katan]], but her face, hair, and armor don't quite match her appearance in ''The Clone Wars'' (especially because Bo-Katan is supposed to be an InkSuitActor of her voice actress, Creator/KateeSackhoff).

* MoralityPet: According to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhBAWVvVkFw this video]], George Lucas's suggested that Darth Talon act as one for Maul. Lucas supposedly compared Maul's characterisation to Santino "Sonny" Corleone from ''Film/TheGodfather'', hinting that Talon would placate his temperamental, violent impulses. She would also have taught Maul [[NoSocialSkills basic social skills, presumably to make him a more innocent, endearing character]].

* EvilVersusEvil: Maul and co. versus the main Sith group and possibly the Empire. Death Watch and possibly Savage are involved in this conflict somewhere.

** For an unknown reason, Talon is helping Maul take down Krayt and the One Sith, despite having loyalties to Krayt and to some extent, the One Sith. Though one could take it as they're trying to take out a rival sect.

* DevelopmentHell: To sum it up, none of the developers and producers were sure of what they were doing due to lack of information.

As of October 2015, Red Fly is still continuing to work on ''Maul'', hoping to propose it to Creator/ElectronicArts and/or Disney.

Taking place more than 170 years after the Invasion of Naboo and the Clone Wars, Darth Maul found himself in the era of ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsLegacy Legacy]]''. After meeting Darth Talon, the duo teamed up to fight against Darth Krayt and the One Sith.

* {{Expy}}:
** Darth Inexor is another multiple armed cyborg that can wield multiple lightsabers at once. Except unlike General Grievous, he can use the Force.

* CoversAlwaysLie: In promotional art, Savage and Death Watch can be seen. Either it's another ContinuitySnarl, they were supposed to be included at some point but were dumped, or weren't intended to appear in the game at all.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Savage Oppress and Death Watch are seen on promotional art. Their appearances are never explained.
