10 Awesome Star Wars Ideas That Nearly Happened
8. Darth Maul Is A Big Part Of The Kenobi Series
With the likes of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett both earning their fair share of attention and acclaim in recent times, the impending arrival of the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series was always destined to set the Internet ablaze.
And while the hype is very much real when it pertains to the episodic story which is set to involve the return of Hayden Christensen's Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker and Kenobi watching over young Luke some ten years on from Revenge of the Sith, the announcement of a certain character being stripped from the show has left more than a few pondering over what could've been... even before the series has dropped!
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Darth Maul actor Ray Park was said to be in the midst of preparing for a comeback in the show as the red-faced antagonist. However, his scenes were said to be binned off during a creative overhaul that saw Vader being pumped into the action instead.
Seeing Vader once again clash with his old mentor will undoubtedly make for can't-miss TV. But few would've complained about the prospect of finally hearing "KENOBI!" bellowed from the former Sith Lord on the live action stage either.
