Medicom Darth Maul

[MaulFan]

If you've ever read the story 'Old Wounds' in the Star Wars Visionaries book, it shows a Maul that survived TPM, with new cyborg legs fighting an old Obi-Wan...

Someone made a flash cartoon of it...it's non-canon, but pretty damn cool:

Much as I love Maul, I'm glad they never brought him back in that capacity, it would have come off as bogus in my mind, or it would have been done like Grevious and Vader, at which point Maul still wouldn't look or likely fight like he did in TPM and that's what I liked. Better he be dead than used poorly.

As for the idea of Lucas not wanting Maul to overshadow Vader and in turn Anakin's story, I can sort of understand that, but at the same time I think most watch the OT and find the story more about Luke than Anakin/Vader's story, so even if Maul was really popular, I don't think it would've hurt the story of the PT in any way.

Maul certainly surpassed Vader as my own favorite bad guy. GL was right to be concerned.

I agree...as cool as he is, all his ressurection stuff does belong in the EU...

It doesn't stop it being kickass though...

Now Grievous vs Vader would be a fight I'd to see...

helll yeaa maul is my favorite character in the hole STAR WARS saga.

He is just so EVIL under the hood.

well looks like that guy on ebay will never send my medi maul or my money
I hope he goes bankrupt and he is forced to leave under a bridge
but there is no way I am passing on the maul fig.
Just orderd it from sideshow.

will be here next week with the WOLF predator HT.
cant wait to do the videos.

oh come on, even though it's non-cannon, the cyborg maul design was just plane awesome. atlkeast to me

I mean, look at him

 

[raider]

The Real Darth Maul would own him, the main point to darth maul is that hes fast and moves around quickly, and is ^^^^^ hot with his light saber

Quick question i carnt decide with Darth maul to buy

Sideshows looks a little big

gentle giants looks a bit boring like hes waiting for a bus

Any ideas guys?

It is a very cool design, but it isn't Darth Maul anymore, to me, it's something else. Now, take the design and use it as a basis for another character with some mods to the Maul-specific parts, and you've got something.

To me, the best bet for a cyborg Maul would be like Vader, traditional humanoid parts, same costume as TPM, the works, that I could accept but not these abominations.

that was the point of his "special" bionics in the comic, he was just as fast as he was before he lost his limbs.

 

[Coorectghosting]

Darth Maul robot legs is not that much worse than Chewbacca being friends with Yoda way back

 

[EVILFACE]

Nice neck brace. Is that to keep Mr Kenobi from breaking his neck next time around?

Kenobi > Anakin and Grievous > Maul

 

[OSCORP]

Cyborg maul is ********.

 

[lerath666]

Actualy, in the comic in question, He fights geriactric kenobi. Guess what. He gets his as handed to him, AGAIN. Ben cuts off one of his Horns, and his hand, and has maul at his mercy, Can't decide to kill him or not....
And Owen Lars shoots Maul in the face.

According to the story, this IS the real Darth Maul...he survives Theed, and tracks down Obi-Wan...

Then gets his *** handed to him...again...

Although it's non-canon, so are the infinities books, and they're just superb...

 

[Darth Cruel]

I like the Cyborg Maul design. And I want a 1:6 Sideshow version of it.

 

[callous]

It's kinda pointless to bring the character back and kill him off right away.
As the movies turned out mauls early exit was a blessing in disguise hehehe.
I think the robo maul design is interesting looking but why bring the character back only to kill him off again?

 

[Blackhole]

It was only a short story...and it's non canon...
