Star Wars Actor Sam Witwer Says A Darth Maul Game Could Be Something Special https://ift.tt/LNgtHQJ With a new spin-off animated series coming out this month, Maul is back in the Star Wars spotlight. Since his first appearance in 1999's Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, the former Dark Lord of the Sith has become one of the series' most popular characters and has appeared in several video games over the years. Even though Maul has never starred in his own game, his current voice actor believes there is a chance to tell an "incredible" story if given the chance.
