Did you know a Darth Maul video game was in development before being shuttered ahead of Disney's acquisition of LucasFilm and LucasArts?

Red Fly Studio had worked up a prototype which they later released footage of online, showing the player controlling Maul and slicing through enemies in impressive third-person battle sequences.

In short, the game looked awesome, and there are still ongoing attempts to revive it in some form despite EA reportedly having no interest in bringing a Maul game to market.

The visuals and gameplay mechanics are way too compelling for this game to be vapourware forever more, but the legal and logistical issues involved in resurrecting it are undeniably mind-boggling.
