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.

In an interview with Discussing Film, actor Sam Witwer shared that he would love to see a Maul video game happen someday. "I've become convinced we could do an incredible story, yeah," Witwer said. "If you asked me, maybe two years ago, I don't know. Yeah, probably, I would have said yes anyway. But now I'm like, 'I know what we can do with him,' for sure."

Witwer is very familiar with both Star Wars and video games. His voice and likeness were used for Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Galen Marek, in 2008's The Force Unleashed and its 2010 sequel. Since then, Witwer has often voiced Maul in TV shows and games, including major roles in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels, and Solo: A Star Wars Story. In Solo, Maul's original actor Ray Park returned to play him in live-action scenes.
